as an owner, i agree on the clutch, you really have to press... the suspension is great, you feel bumps but the ride is not hard... What i don;t like is the low visibility at the back and at the A-pillar and the high maintenance costs and it's prone to electrical problems... all in all, I like the car, sometimes it pisses me off, but I like it
Mine is same color, 3 doors. 1.6 120hp. Its a very decent sporty little car with instant response that i just love. Of course it has its quirks but for its price i say its amazing. Just done a bit of modifications, stop lights, headlights and android navigation and it feel like a brand new high tech car
Thank u mate,this is informative..is mantainance costly?
@@archibaldsonwabo9328 i cant say its any different than a normal car. And if itd second hand bought its just either luck or experience. Mine has already 210k on the dash board and only problem had with it was the sparkplug coils which cost me 100 euro
When talking about french cars, the most common issue is electronics. However, in my 10 years driving a 207 GT HDi I've only faced 2 faults from sensors and I fixed both easily, so I'm pretty happy with my car so far. The only downside is that both doors wheigh a ton, and open far too widely, almost at a 45 degree angle. Plus, the door handles on the inside are too short, so if the door is open all the way, not only you have to really stretch out to grasp the handle, when you do finally reach it, you can only get about half a finger deep to grab and pull such a heavy door towards you, so if you suffer from hand sweat, the 3-door version is not suitable for you, especially if you use the doors in steep hills.
Timing chain, mine was rattling like hell at 40k miles, turbo banjo oil feed pipe leaking at 35k miles, and what a pain to replace it a simple little pipe and you have to take all the heat shields off around the turbo
pozdrav. kako si zadovoljan motorom, da li si imao nekih problema, posto čitam svakakve stvari o njima. hvala
The hdi model is actually quite good. Haven't had any problems other than a alternator. Sometimes the little screen on the interior breaks but it tends to iron itself out by the next day
awesome car I love mine, such a great engine when you get to know it.
How come your GTi does not have the recaro seats?
Thanks, I don't know why mine doesn't have Recaros but previous and first owner was female so maybe she wanted Peugeot to sell her 207 GTI with regular seats. But I will put recaros as soon as I find one on sale near me :)
ルミ世比喩して良いんだが？
Super video. Svaka čast👍
Also a thing is to really watch out with bumps on the road... not paying attention got my car a gasleak in the exhaust. I highly recommend to save that money. My shiftknob was stuck in first when i tried to be a bit more quick but the bump was too steep so i eventually i payed over 1500 euros en i still don't trust the car but it didn't have any problems after that
thats a lot of stuff to not like on a car in my opinion , makes me think why do you own one then if you hate so much about it i love my 5door 207 mine is the 2010 face lift version and i absoluetly love it
Dobra robota :) dziękuje. Poland
It's great if you can ignore the "Depollution system faulty" light and have your own OBD reader to do it.
Don't buy this car as it's a pain but if you've got spare income it's great to mess around in.
Do you think about remap your 207 GTI?
hello Vucko, nice to be here again, i saw a peugeot 207 like yours but the 5doors and it has 175,000km for 2k euros. please is this car reliable and cheap to maintain?
Its not
It’s fine. Depends on what engine it has. Mines a 1.4 and it’s never needed anything besides tyres, rear springs and a ball joint in 11 years
Mine is a 207 (not gti) from 2011 and the air conditioner etc panel is totally different
Agree with almost all the points the steering doesnt bother me but i definitely agree with the heavy clutch. But i still love the car
I actually bought a 207 today not a GTI I think it’s had the clutch done recently because the clutch is really light feels like a new car and all the gear changed are smooth no problems at all
Great video- I have same car but having troubles with my car not boosting. Also my clutch is really light compared to my old car (Toyota Celica) 😊
How many km does your car have?
It had 90,000 miles. I no longer have the car but I worked out it was the turbo and timing chain. :( I miss the car though.
I asked a mechanic about this engine and he said the turbo goes wrong at 150kms..90miles haha..what car do u have now?
@@spirosgal1885 typical haha! THP engine is good if looked after but it requires lots of maintenance. I have Honda civic 2.2 i-ctdi with 288,000 kms. Great car, but I want Lexus IS220d or IS250 next.
I notice your coolant bottle has a orange/ light brown colour to it, it personally get that looked into if i were you. Mine isn't like that. ps love your 207 videos !
Okay thanks, I will check it out
@@VuckoHD i chance every 6 months the coolant, first i flush it
Light brown colour could be mark of the oil radiator/cooler odd bottom sealing, leaking oil into cooling water. Common issue on the thp engines and easy to fix.
How's the Corolla?
Mine is a 5 door 1.4 16v and its the same exact suspension and springs with this and also i do feel literally every bump on the road sourtimes its like youre riding a tractor or something 😂😂
How is the mantainance.. are the parts costly for example?
@@archibaldsonwabo9328 Maintenance wise, I live in Istanbul, Turkey, which has very famous traffic jams, and I take it to maintenance every 15.000 kilometers. I make an oil change every 10.000 kilometers. Part costs differ from low to average if you use official Peugeot parts, but luckily we finally have the Eurorepar service of PSA over here, and I use Eurorepar branded parts (Parts manufactured by Peugeot, but cheaper) in non-vital areas. With all these considered, a routine maintenance costs me around TRY 650 with labour included at the time of writing, which converts to about EUR 63.50.
If you have more questions, I will be happy to answer...
I have a normal 2007 Peugeot 207diesel and between the GTi version , I don't see much difference.
Same engine is in the Mini Cooper S. Designed with BMW.
Can anyone help me with getting a aux/ Bluetooth fitted for this car, like what parts should I use
How about a new radio... problem solved
Why not get an FM transmitter as a cheap alternative
I have the same car and I use a fm transmitter just sits.in the air vent and plugs into the cigarette lighter
hello does the automatic Peugeot 207 dashboard shows what the gear is while driving?
Yes it shows, watch this video and see: czcams.com/video/nit-3xVAIps/video.html
@@VuckoHD thank you so much. I was going to buy an automatic 2009 Peugeot 207, but it only show “D” while driving. Doesn’t show what gear you are on. Do you know what’s the problem with it? The gear did change, but the changing is not very fast. Is that because it’s an old car, the gear is not reacting fast?
This is old so you’ve probably figured it out the button that you keep pressing just hold it for three seconds.
Is that a VTI engine? ( Variable Timing Injection )
Yes, and its direct injection
VTI is the atmospheric version, in the GTI (or RC) it's a THP (turbocharged)
You find the ride harsh in a 207? Try other cars like Audi with the 30 mm. lowering... that is hard ride. And the clutch heavy in the 207.... No way.
100kms on this engine are ok to buy ?
Make sure the chain has been changed
I got a 207 Feline 1.6 THP.
Working as mechanic at Peugeot. The timing chain is a problem, also the Intake valves getting dirty and needs to get granulate, high pressure pump, ignition coil, spark plugs, turbo's will die when the car reaches like 200k km's. Oil leak at the oil filter house, filling 1 liter of oil every 6k km's.
But still love the power of the engine when it does not have his problems.
GTi also don't have a 6th gear? That makes zero sense. Was wondering about my GT already, but having an even faster car missing that 6th gear is insane.
Even though I love to get 207cc for it looks, but its reliability really turned me off
go for diesel. preferably 1560cc 110 bhp. as long as you service every 6-8 months or 7000 miles they will run for 250k plus miles
Dip beam isnt the best, the buzz for seat belt ,,lights on etc is annoying.... not a bad car.
Do these things also apply to the RC version?
Rc and Gti are the same thing
Wie kann man einen Continental Reifen auf einen Peugeot Montieren !
Da gehören Michelin Sport Reifen drauf, die mit einem erhöhtem Luftdruck gefahren werden .
Dann klebt dieser Wagen formlich auf der Straße und machen richtig Laune.
I love mine
Isit reliable don't know if to get this or Ford fiesta St
Overall Ford Fiesta ST is more reliable, it has less engine problems than Peugeot 207 GTI
@@VuckoHD OK what car would you suggest for around 2k thanks
Great car until you have to replace the chain... If mine starts rattling I'm selling it.
I feel like I need more info, what does it mean? Is a replacement enough or is it a money pit?
@@motorxrules1 You have to take apart almost the whole engine in order to replace the chain. If it's something the mechanic has never done it's easy to mess up. I my country the replacement costs about 500 euros and a decent 207 costs around 2500...
@@shmu_el how do you know if it has a chain?
@@-never-gonna-give-you-up- all the petrol 1.6 petrol engines are chain driven. For the diesels and the 1.4 petrol I'm not sure.
Why did you buy this car if you hate this things
No cars perfect
Coooooooooooronavirus
Peugeot are rubbish cars full stop.. you need your head looking at if you buy these cars, they are terrible 😂😂
What a trash car. I had peugeot 207 hdi and never again. 1mil problems
What problems did you have
Funny, I also own a 207 HDi for 10 years now, and apart from regular maintenance service, so far I've only had to clean the starter motor and replace its brushes, other than that it's been running fine.
