Peugeot 807 2.2 HDI GLX

I have owned two Peugeot 807 2Lt HDI executives bought from new. .The first in 2004 the second in 2007 - which is my current car. Over the past ten years I have not had a single problem or cause for concern. I have always had the cars serviced at the main-dealership from whom they were bought. They have taken my wife and I all over Europe with a packed boot and a1550 kgs caravan trundling behind. The outfit has taken on the Alps and Pyrennes on twenty occasions and never once given me the slightest reason for concern although I must confess that at altitude and on some long steep inclines my speed did drop into the 40-45 mph range. Driven solo it averaged 50 -55mpg on long trips and 25mpg towing. They have been a pleasure to own and to drive. Apart from reasonable service costs I have replaced only tyres and, on my current vehicle - now seven and a half years old ,the brake-pads. If Peugeot still made them I would not hesitate to buy another new one. If I had to find fault with something both my wife and I agree that the speedometer dial was difficult to read in some daylight conditions . My wife and I have just test-driven a Peugeot 5008 - essentially the 807's replacement - a pleasant enough car but one which could not match what we have experienced with our 807s.

Worst car evet has my heary broke out alot of money that tok me awhile to save a heap of poo only gave it one star as had to to continue

Please, please, please do not buy, regardless however cheap they appear to be. Even if they have full main dealer service history which mine does, this counts for nothing.

The electrical problems are minor compared to the problems the 2.2 HDI diesel engine will throw up. Even Peugeot mechanics admit that the engine is too complicated and very unreliable. My Peugeot garage openly admits that the 807 is the worse car they have made to date. Like almost every owner, you will experience cambelt problems (do catch them early), particulate filter problems, turbo problems, egr valve problems ~ all of which required replacement at incredible cost. My car has done fewer than 80K so I wouldn't say its had a particularly hard life. However, if you look at the forums, 80K is about the limit for these engines even if they are well maintained. Engine access is a real issue for the turbo and egr valve replacement as it is positioned somewhere under the radio! I currently have an intermittent acceleration problem which is proving very hard for the garage to locate. As soon as I get this fixed, I am selling.

My Peugeot 807 has had endless electrical problems - right from the start. Cam belt went at 62k but Peugeot did cover the cost ( Thanks to Wokingham Motors who are great) even though out of warranty. Tyre sensors break down after 70k and are £120 to replace.( Valves start to leak) Now the last straw, one of the rear seats got jammed in the runners and it had to broken out. £1100 for a new one! Intermittent computer problems - software issues that could not be overcome. Wipers kept blowing fuses - I ended up putting a larger fuse in to overcome. Sliding doors were tempramental as well.

The 2 litre Diesel is very underpowered. Great shame, as it is a great design internally and has some great features.

Would never buy a Peugeot again though, as I hear they have a reputation for electrical issues - and I have first hand experience.

Beware. The diesel engine anti pollution system is very complicated. There is an additive tank and pump system that meters additive to the fuel tank based on sensing the fuel cap on/off and fuel volume! It needs an additive tank to be filled eventually but in my case prematurely due to the lousy engine management computer giving false info.

Cables that release seats have worn out on two rear seats.

Now the final straw the timing belt went at 64k. Engine knackered and it cost £500 to find that out. Replacement/repair cost is more than value of vehicle.

Shame it was great to drive, comfortable and spacious - would I buy another one - no way. Steer clear.

We liked the car's space and toys etc., but quickly realised why the previous owner had sold it at 18 months from new.

This has been the most unreliable car I have ever experienced. Something goes wrong in this car every month. We even left a set of keys with the dealer it spends sp much time there. It feels like the entire car has been replaced one bit at a time, but even so it still keeps breaking. Spending around £3k per annum on repairs, now it's off warranty. Have finally traded in the car - hope the dealer doesn't go bust without our repair income!

i have owned this car for only 3 months and have endless problems with the particale filter.the car is never out of limp mode the faults on the display are antipollution fault diesel filter blocked.i have done allsorts to this car even when i smashed the particle filter outto determine if it was actually the filter it still came up with particle filter full.this is where i have found my saviour http://www.ecuflash.co.uk/ this company will deactivate all the anti pollution gubbins the car will not go in limp mode again and to top it up he even remaps the car so it has more power and better on fuel.so if you are the same as me get it done smash the filter out and get this lot in you will never look back.

Loved this car at first, so easy having sliding doors. However computer started going wrong and Peugeot could not fix - they did not have the right software!! Now the cam belt has failed at 77K Change recommended at 96k. Am reading so many problems with premature cam belt failure on the 2004-6 model as engine housing open to elements. Local dealer in Banbury does not want to know. We are pursuing under the SOGA and will see what happens. Beware!

We had a Fiat Ulyses for 5 years and it was brill. We came to change and couldn't find a new shape fiat so opted for the 807 thinking it couldn't be much different. Bought the Executive for the toys - electric doors, seats etc. We've had it 12 months now and it's a heap of junk - just had to replace a bulb - £93.00!! Doors failed to open, alarm goes off when you're driving, all windows dropped on the motorway at 70!! Warning lights come on and then off, doors lock and refuse to open, it beeps for no apparent reason and now the turbo has failed - still it has done 36,000 miles! Dealer just laughs and quotes hundreds of pounds to not fix it! Been in to have electrical faults rectified 9 times now - works for 1-3 days and then starts again. I wouldn't have another of these if they were free!

rubish car my peugeot 807 spend mor time at the garage than in my driveway. after 2 years gearbox went off cost me £2000 from peugeot dealer with 1 year guaranty.now turbo went off and anti-pollution system. im just sick and tired of this car
