2009 Peugeot 207: what owners report

• On the 1.6 THP turbo petrol (2006-2012), the timing chain and its tensioner are a known weak point; the chain can jump and in bad cases the engine must be replaced. Caradisiac notes revised parts were fitted, especially from late 2010.2006–2012
• HDi diesels in the 2006-2012 207 suffer leaking injector seals that can push soot into the oil, plus turbo failures; fiches-auto.fr calls the 1.6 HDi 110 the most delicate diesel in the range.2006–2012
• French owners of the 1.4 VTi 95 petrol (2006-2012) most often report heavy oil consumption, while the older 1.4 75 and 90 petrols draw head-gasket and cooling complaints.2006–2012
• Electrical gremlins are common on the 2006-2012 car: false warning lights, sticking power windows, cruise control that drops out and an on-board computer that misreports.2006–2012
