Heard so much about ew12 being very problematic and the ew10 more reliable and efficient. Ikenna, Siena etc kindly shed more light on this. Some of us are consodering joining the peugeot line...

@ Elite something similar had already been discussed check here https://www.nairaland.com/973041/peugeot-406-ew10-engine-against

EW12 is a good & more reliable engine than EW10. I used EW12 for 10 years & I haven't had challenge of engine/ gearbox. It's a pretty fast ride when you drive but it's reverse gear is on gear 1 like dat of volkswagen but it's so reliable. It's parts are common cos they share parts with EW10 apart from engine & gearbox, then a few parts shared with the V6 406 engine. The acceleration on EW12 is so sharp that @ the speed of 70km/h while on fifth gear, you need not reduce it for sharp overtaking, you just punch on the gas & it delivers the way you want It to go. It takes less than half tank from Niger to Kano state & one full tank from Abuja to Lagos. EW12 has a safety feature that beeps when you are on high speed & it's economy mode is active up to the speed of 160km/hr & it's highest speed is 270km/hr.
The more reason people see that EW12 isn't good is because the car doesn't tolerate fake parts dat are so common in our market today, it's better you continue using the car the bad part than use a fake one, it's will always show you the same problem & keeps beeping when driving Dats on engine parts like nozzles, exhaust, plugs, sensors etc. But so far so good, mine runs fine & excellently. Just dat you will check the Timing belt every year, which common in Peugeot from EW7 - EW12 for the petrol engines
