There seems to be some confusion about why I changed the wheels. First set = summer tyres Second set = winter tyres Most of us here in Sweden have two sets of wheels, to make the mandatory change to snow tyres easier. Sorry for not making that clear in the video.

Fantastic job. I never really liked Peugeot 207 cars (my friend recently bought, fixed and sold one as a lockdown project) but you've done a stellar job, that one looks factory fresh! I'm definitely subscribing for more. 🙂

I’ve brought one in 2018, 2012 model with 1.4 petrol engine with 97k km and I still have it (currently at 125k km). It runs great and never had issues with it, I mean 0 issues. It has been very reliable and has super low cost maintenance. Everything works fine. Having such a great experience with it keeps me from wanting to sell it, despite me wanting a car with more features.

[@ejoautovideos]

Yes, they can be really reliable when taken cared of. I think french cars often times gets a bad rep because of their owners not servicing and taking care of their cars.

[@awesomnality]

@@ejoautovideos I think i jynxed it with this comment. Last week while I was driving back home during rush hour, I’ve got a power steering fault. The wheel became extremely hard to move, good thing it happened while I was not moving. Now the electric motor needs replacing.

Tack så mycket Jacob, ja jag håller nog med. Blir musik för det mesta i fortsättningen. 👍 Jag föredrar nog faktiskt clayduken för det går så mycket snabbare, den är dock mildare, så om man vill ha mer "bett" så bör man köra clay bar.

Udda fråga kanske men vad använder du för maskeringstejp? Den jag kört har lämnat klisterrester som är svåra att få bort, inte på lacken turligt nog men på plastdetaljer.

[@ejoautovideos]

Den röda tejpen fick jag från Carpro, märket vet jag ej. Den blåa är Biltema och inte lika stark. Den röda kör jag på plast o gummi den blåa till lacken. (Oftast)

[@mikael950]

Toppen intressant video 👍 Tänkte fråga dig om polering, finns det något sätt att polera bort små ytliga tvättrepor för hand, eller måste man ha tillgång till en poleringsmaskin?

[@ejoautovideos]

Tack så mycket! Det går ja, men har man tvättrepor så är det förmodligen rätt så homogent på hela lacken? Jag rekomenderar verkligen en oscillerande maskin, går att få tag i rätt bra maskiner för billig peng. Man får sååå mycket jämnare och bättre resultat på sjukt mycket kortare tid. 👍

[@mikael950]

@@ejoautovideos Stort tack för svar 👍 Det är tjejens nyinköpta begagnade Focus som fick sig en tvätt förra helgen, och då såg jag att det fanns några små tvättrepor på taket samt på passagerarsidan. I övrigt så var den helt repfri 😁 Känner du till om det finns någon hyfsad bra batteridriven maskin? Vi har tyvärr inte tillgång till någon el ute på parkeringsplatsen där vi bor. Så tänkte polera upp den efter nästa besök i tvätthallen 👍🤔

Hey i want yo buy the 207 can you tell me how reliable the tu engine is ( as i think its the same on the video) thx you i really enjoyed your video !

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you and sorry for the late reply. This was my girlfriends car. She had it for ~8 years and ~100 000km. Honestly it was quite reliable EXCEPT one big thing, the headgasket blew right in the beginning of her ownership. After that was repaired it worked good, just needed regular service maintenance and some very minor repairs. So look out for the head gasket issue, other than that it's a good value car that's cheap to run. 👍

[@Drako9874]

The 207 is actually a very good reliable car. Especially as a diesel. But the gasoline models are also very good. Why does your girlfriend want to sell the car? The small damages are very easy to repair. To clean the engine compartment, I always use oven spray and let it soak in for a short time. Often works wonders 😏
