When I test drived my S16 before I bought it in December, I had no expectations because it was the only one I had driven. It seemed quite powerful compared to my 1985 Alfa Sprint, so I didnt question the performance.
When I got it serviced in April, Peugeotcare noticed the power was off and tracked it down to the variable intake moniford system. The solenoid wasnt working and one of the diaphrams was perforated. These were replaced ($200)resulting in a substantial power increase, however this was not to last. Within 2 months the power seemed off again, with my limited mecanical prowess, I tracked it down to a broken vacume booster than conencts the vacume pump and inlet manifold to the brake booster and manifold diaphams.
This part needed to come Ex-France. 3 weeks later it arived and was fitted,($50) and the system still did not work. FARK ME!!!!
Afer some trouble shooting, it was discovered that the other diaphram was split, which also needed replacing.($100)
So now, is all warking after 6 months of screwing around and arounf $400 of cost to replace paractically the whole system. But what really shits me is that it should all be covered under warranty, but seeing as it was staggered in its replacement, and the $100 excess, it was I wo payed, but the warranty company.
Anyway, thats my bitch about some troubles I have had....
