It broke down on Friday night, coughed, spluttered, wouldn't rev, loads of smoke..........it has just been repaired.....EGR Valve £200.40......Labour charge £80.
Its an '09 with 73k on the clock, on inspection a disc on the end of a shaft had broken off............"they all do that". YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
Warranted??? I didnt even bother checking with the local dealer, if they had got around to looking at it by now I'm sure we would be arguing as to whether its covered or not!!! Far quicker to just pay up.

My 09 E7 has 112,000 miles and if I am honest, I have spend about £600, that I shouldn't!

The drive shaft went about 70k and I accepted that it wasn't under warranty even though I had a 2 year 100,000 warranty- we all make mistakes.


But to be honest other than Peugeot servicing at £110 a go, and quite a lot of break pads, I haven't spent anything else on it.
