Problems:

Oil leaks
Common in older PEUGEOT models due to worn gaskets and seals.
Overheating
Can occur due to a failing thermostat, clogged radiator, or water pump issues, especially in older in-line engines.
Timing belt failure
Critical in vehicles with in-line 4-cylinder engines; if not replaced timely, it can lead to severe engine damage.
Misfiring
Often caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors in 4-cylinder engines.
Excessive oil consumption
Could be due to worn piston rings or valve seals, prevalent in older engines.
Coolant leaks
May be caused by deteriorated hoses, radiator, or a faulty water pump.
Rough idling
Can result from a dirty throttle body, bad idle air control valve, or vacuum leaks.
Engine knocking
Often due to poor fuel quality, incorrect timing, or worn engine components like bearings.
Emission system issues
Can be due to a failing catalytic converter or faulty oxygen sensors, affecting performance and emissions compliance.
