Model History

April 2003

New 7 seater MPV on same floorpan as new Citroen C8 and Peugeot 807.

What to watch out for

01-01-0001:

Seems to be a problem with front suspension balljoints failing and insufficient supplies of replacements.

2.2 diesels have trouble with their particulate filters, especially when they run out of additive.

On those with Fiat engines, timing belts, tensioners and pulleys need replacing every 36k - 40k miles. Also need new waterpumps because pumps are driven by timing belts and if they fail the belt gets flung off.
