Hi guys

Going to see a 02 307 2.0hdi tomorrow it has 44,000 on the clock, anything I should look out for??

I wonder if it has a Dpf??

 

[theMDJ]

if its the 110 then most probaly yes

 

[Timo]

Bugger Not sure on that, but I'd bet my granny that it has. (she's dead BTW)

theres normally a massive intercooler pipe over the front of the engine on a 110bhp

make sure the cam belts been done. check its been serviced regular.

if its a 110 does it have any fault codes has the eolys fluid been topped up

other then that its normal stuff really

 

[Timo]

Yep its a 110, full Peugeot service history, cambelt done at 37k, has sport kit so has part leather, alloys and cruise, at 44k how long before the eolys runs out?

Should be a while before additive needs topping up. Plus it ain't that difficult to do and not too expensive either.

Thanks for the replies guys, I bought the car, the guy has even had the Eolys topped up at the last service done in october so along with 10 months t and t I don't have to spend anything for ages:thumb:

Famous last words!

Famous last words!

Mmmm I did touch wood for all the good it will do me:lol:

If its been cared for you should be OK. My first two 307s were one owner from new, with regular Peugeot services, and I had very little problems with them over 40,000 and 15,000 miles respectively - ABS sensor clean, heater coil pack fix, replacement MAF and new engine mounts - all common faults which are well documented on here and cheap and easy to fix yourself!

 

[Timo]

Thanks Gibbo
Engine mounts? you'd think that nice smooth DMF would sort that out.

I've just totted up all the invoices the first owner had spent on the car and it totals £4,293 from new till 21/10 2011 he then sold it to the guy I bought it from on the 28/3/2012, who serviced it once more.

The last invoice from the first owner has a note saying please note clutch judder and flywheel very noisy, yet there is no invoice to say its been done and I cannot notice any noise or judder??

 

[Gibbo]

Is there a receipt for a clutch? If so it may have been badly installed and fixed FOC and without a receipt from the garage.

 

[monty9120]

sounds like whoever owned it wasnt scared to spend some cash and knew what they were doing

a 10 year old car doesnt stay immaculate from being abused all its life

No receipt Gibbo and this guy has been pretty meticulous about keeping all records, but being on the last invoice I wonder if he decided it was time to bail out and chopped it in for a new car, because I'm pretty sure the second owner said he bought it from a dealer, so I suppose it could have been done before they sold it on, especially if it was that bad, they would have a hard job selling it if it was juddering and noisy (he said hopefully:lol

I wonder if its worth a call to the Peugeot dealer he used to see if it was done???

Hi monty
No it doesn't, and now its got me:yikes:, its going to get the shock of its life, about 400 miles a week coming right up :lol::thumb:

 

[monty9120]

the last owner neglected her but she must have been looked after before that
