This thread is created for cars that usually have "electrical issues", cars like vw, audi, bmw ,volvo and the likes that are termed to usually have "electrical issues". so, this is how the thread will go, you state the name of the car, year, model and the issue if possible with the trouble code associated with it then we discuss the fix.

Oh okay thank you

Because the person said the problem mostly arises when manual 307 is transformed into Auto tans. (Which is the most common Auto 307 you will see) but if you are lucky to have the original Auto trans that came as it is then you will face less problem. Talking about Neatly used.

Pls what do you think which of the two between civic 2008 -10 and 307 a person should go for.

You know, you could come here and hustle in peace without following stereotype, playing to the gallery and dragging our dear Volvo along.

What do you mean saying Volvo "usually have electrical issues", have you been close to the engine bay of a Volvo before?

IN THAT CASE THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN ALTERED AND MOST LIKELY NOT DONE PROPERLY IT WILL SURELY GIVE PROBLEMS. YOU SEE ITS NOT A FACTOR OF AUTO 307 BUT CONVERTED 307. FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND AVOID CONVERTED PEUGEOTS.
BTW CIVIC AND 307? ANY OF THEM IS GREAT. BUT THE MECHANICS AROUND YOU HOW COMPETENT ARE THEY?

BABA JUST DO YOUR CIVIC JEJE...
MAINTENANCE ON BOTH IS PRACTICALLY SAME. LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION ON BOTH. THE PUG HAS A VERY MAD AC IF OUR BROTHERS NEVER TOUCH AM SHA O.
CIVIC IS EASY TO TOUCH, SO WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE...

I have observed that at the mention of Volvo on a topic especially when it is a critic, you take it personal and you get defensive.

Life isn't as hard as you are making it....

To be honest PUG is not for everybody, if you ain't the kind of person who cares about his car alot, then u will suffer. PUG does not tolerate anyhow rewire, it will screw up the system. Also, majority of Nigerian mechanics suck at conversion of PUGs grin , My friend has a converted one, it actually took me a while to reset radiator fan connection to factory & dat stup#d Ac connection way kazeem dey do

But what anout the Manual Transmission is it better than the Auto? And if i am lucky to find the unconverted Auto is it also good?

Is the rewire main problem of PUG or there is other?

Thanks
