Model history

The compact Peugeot 307 debuted in 2001 and, despite its age, still looks fresh. A year after the premiere, two new engines appeared in the list of proposals - a 2-liter gasoline engine and a 1.4 HDi turbodiesel. In 2003, the French introduced a version of the SS convertible. And two years later (in 2005) the car experienced a facelift, the most noticeable in the front part. In the same year, 1.6 HDi was hit under the hood.

Production of the 307 ended in 2007. The car was offered in the back of a 3- and 5-door hatchback, a convertible SS (Coupe Cabrio), a station wagon (SW). In some markets, it was even available as a sedan.

Design features

The Peugeot 307, like most compacts, has front-wheel drive. The craving for the wheels is transmitted by 5 or 6-speed mechanics, or 4 or 5-speed automatic. In 2005, the car received a completely new electronic control system and the CAN standard.

The trunk of the hatchback holds 340 liters, and after folding the back of the rear seat - 1330 liters. The station wagon has at its disposal a cargo compartment of 503 liters.

Already in the basic version of the Peugeot 307 you can find 2 airbags, electric windows, power steering and onboard computer. More expensive configurations will please side cushions and curtains, fog lights and heated side mirrors. After the restyling, the equipment became even richer.

Depending on the version, the center console can be decorated with an insert that mimics “aluminum” or “wood”.

Engines

Among the gasoline units of recommendations, engines of 1.6 and 2.0 liters are worthy. They rarely refuse. Unless over time you will have to replace the electronic throttle (about 10 000 rubles) and the block of ignition coils (from 6 000 rubles). 2-liter atmospheric sometimes suffers from high oil consumption, and will require large costs for insurance and fuel. 1.4-liter units also do not cause serious problems, but 75 horsepower is too little for a car of this size. It's more suited to the city. The reliability of diesel engines is not much different from similar engines of competitors. However, in the long run, with large mileage, a number of costly problems should be expected, which fully compensate for the advantage in fuel consumption. In diesel engines, problems with the air flowmeter (from 3000 rubles) and the boost pressure sensor (5,000 rubles) are more common. Among the defective elements of HDi engines, it is worth noting the fuel pressure regulator (from 5000 rubles). Failure symptoms: power loss and the notorious “antipolusion faul” on the onboard computer screen. The best choice will be 2.0 HDi, although it has several short-lived components: a two-mass flywheel (about 31,000 rubles), an EGR valve and a FAP particulate filter (from 50,000 rubles). Its base 8-valve 90-strong version lacks a two-mass flywheel. The stronger 16-valve 109 hp recoil uses a more reliable injection from Siemense, in contrast to the slightly capricious Bosch in the base vrsia. Biggest problem 1.

Transmission

Over time, there is a large free stroke of the lever of the manual transmission. This makes it difficult to turn on the speeds. No less common freezing of cables of the gear selection mechanism. In both cases, only a kinematic replacement will help. It should be noted that there are many types of this node, so the selection must be carried out by the VIN number.

It is also worth mentioning a 4-speed automatic with a classic hydraulic transformer. It was offered as an alternative for gasoline 16-valves with a volume of 1.6 and 2.0 liters. The machine is not reliable enough, thoughtful when switching and steals engine power.

Walking

The suspension is very good at extinguishing irregularities and does not require frequent repairs. On the front axle, the racks and sleeves of the stabilizer wear relatively quickly, and with age - the lower levers (from 3000 rubles). In the case of restoration repairs for the Silent block will have to pay at least 300 rubles, and for the ball support - at least 600 rubles.

Behind time begins to make extraneous sounds elastic beam. In some cases, it is enough to replace the bushings - from 900 rubles per piece. In critical episodes, the beam itself will need to be replaced. Sometimes it gets backlash and steering rack.

Other problems and malfunctions

No doubt, in terms of reliability, the Peugeot 307 has earned a bad reputation. It was the original production period that took good care of this. However, after restyling in 2005, the situation has improved significantly. In the first 307 years of production, even fires arose, the causes of which were short circuit electrical wiring in the electric power steering or ABS pump. In some cars during refueling, fuel leaks were observed due to a faulty tank ventilation valve. Another weakness of the Frenchman is the BSI module, which controls all onboard electronics. The most common cause of damage is moisture ingress through the low tide on the left side of the car. More often, the problem is aggravated after replacing the windshield - microcracks occur, and this is enough to damage the electronics. Sometimes you can get away with a simple drying of the block. Otherwise, you will have to pay for repairs at least 5,000 rubles. Disable the module can and “curved” installation of audio system, alarm and other consumers of current. In addition, many owners of the Peugeot 307 note excessive sensitivity of electricians to dampness. As a result, there are failures in the operation of the electric power steering, gas pedal and lock of the trunk lid, and on the on-board display highlight various errors. Another unpleasant feature is the failure of the turn indicator switch. The lever does not return to the original position, instead of the left pointer, the right one is turned on and vice versa. The reason is the burnout contacts and wear of the plastic elements of the switch.

• The 1.4-liter units are not a problem either, but 75 horsepower is too small for a car of this size. It's more suited to the city.

• In diesel engines, problems with the air flowmeter (from 3000 rubles) and the boost pressure sensor (5,000 rubles) are more common.
• Failure symptoms: power loss and the notorious “antipolusion faul” on the onboard computer screen.
• 6 HDi - premature wear of the turbocharger (from 40 000 rubles).

• The reason is the burnout contacts and wear of the plastic elements of the switch.
• Fortunately, repairs are possible, but it requires a lot of experience and specialized tools.
• One minor but annoying problem is that at high temperatures, the image on the display is lubricated and horizontal and vertical stripes appear.
• As a rule, not the lock mechanism itself is broken, but the control wiring.
• The body received decent protection from corrosion and good torsion rigidity.
• If during the inspection, rust is noticeable, and in the test run the body knocks hard and creaks, then most likely, this instance has been in a serious accident.

The Peugeot 307 is an interesting alternative for cars from Germany or Japan. Against the background of peers VW Golf IV, Opel Astra II or Toyota Corolla car looks just amazing. Reliability depends entirely on the state of a particular instance. But sometimes, even this does not guarantee that there are no problems with electrical and electronics. The advantage of the 307th is good body protection from corrosion, glorious gasoline engines and relatively inexpensive spare parts. For copies of the first years of release today ask about 150 000 rubles, for the youngest – in the region of 300 000 rubles.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.
