Start the engine and let it idle. The idle speed of 700r/min is relatively low, and there is an unstable operation phenomenon. The following is a related introduction about Peugeot 207: Definition: Peugeot 207 is a domestic car launched by Dongfeng Peugeot on May 28, 2010. It has a compact body and is equipped with PSA's HDI engine. The chassis technology was jointly developed with German BMW. The gasoline version has a fuel consumption of about 6L per 100 kilometers, while the diesel version is about 5L.

When I used to drive a Peugeot 207, I encountered quite a few common issues, mainly electrical problems. For instance, the window regulators often got stuck, and the service station said it was a common issue—replacing the parts would fix it, but it wasn’t cheap. I also experienced an unresponsive ignition switch, requiring multiple turns to start, which was frustrating. Even more annoying was the engine warning light coming on for no reason, likely due to a sensor false alarm, requiring a code reset. During daily driving, it’s important not to ignore small unusual noises or smells, as early detection can save money. Additionally, the suspension system aged quickly, and leaking shock absorbers made the ride noticeably bumpier. Overall, this model has many minor issues, so I recommend regular maintenance to check wiring and engine conditions to avoid breakdowns and costly towing, which poses safety risks and drains your wallet.
