The Peugeot 607 was produced from 1999 to 2011. The model didn't show huge sales figures, but this can be explained by the fact that this is a higher middle class. If you need a windscreen replacement for your Peugeot 607, you can go to the after market for the best value for money. For € 499 you already have a new windscreen for this model.
The introduction of the Peugeot 607 was bizarre. Martin Alloiteau, PR-chef for the European market, announced the upper middle class and immediately added that the car didn't perform optimally at high speed. Just before the introduction this was still to be worked on. If PSA did not solve the problems in time, production would be suspended for a number of months.
What exactly was the situation like? A few days before the announcement of the model, the car magazines Auto Plus and L'Auto-Journal received a sample of the Peugeot 607 for testing. During an evasive manoeuvre at high speed, the test drivers lost control of the steering wheel because the long and heavy rear of the car turned out not to be controllable. The media took this up and the Peugeot 607 was immediately the most talked-about car in France. Even before the first model was made!
It was immediately clear that Peugeot had taken the 2800 millimetre wheelbase of the Peugeot 605 with it to the new 607, which would finally see the light of day in 1999, after the problems with the rear had been solved. The basic version was initially a 4-cylinder with 160 hp. The more interesting option was the Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI with a particle filter (also called a soot filter). This filter gets full after about 500 kilometers, but the car itself empties the filter by increasing the temperature to 450 degrees. Because the engine itself sends glycerine towards the particle filter, the ignition temperature is lowered to 450 degrees (instead of 550 degrees). All emissions during combustion are harmless.
The Peugeot 607 not only took over the platform of the 605. The enormous problems followed meekly. The Peugeot 607 was equipped with a rain sensor, climate control, cruise control and electrically operated seats. And with several models there were problems with the electronics.
Standard problems with a Peugeot 607 are among others:
The Peugeot 607 has two batteries. When driving much shorter distances, the (hidden) battery in the back of the Peugeot 607 becomes empty. Do you notice that the car suddenly starts difficult? Then drive a longer distance to charge the rear battery.
In most V6 models the ignition coils were replaced because the quality was too poor. If the engine stutters or fails, check the ignition coils.
For many models, this system has been replaced within the warranty period. You can find out in your car's service book whether the window mechanism has been replaced on your car or an occasion that you have in mind.
With the Peugeot 607, Peugeot entered a new market. After the Peugeot 605 it was even more luxurious to gain a foothold in the higher D-segment. As with the Peugeot 605, PSA did not succeed with the 607. There were simply too many problems in the announcement phase, the model was placed too high in the market where strong competitors like Volvo, BMW and Audi don't want to give in and where the average driver doesn't really expect a Peugeot model. This makes the Peugeot 607 a type that fits in the list between Fiat Croma, Opel Omega, Renault Vel Satis and the Volvo S80, but never really broke through in Europe.
Less than 150,000 of the Peugeot 607 were sold in Europe. The 607 was succeeded by the Peugeot 508 together with the Peugeot 407 in 2011.
Nevertheless, the Peugeot 607 is not necessarily a bad car. As TopGear proves below, it's a car that you can also enjoy in the corners.
Windscreen damage is annoying, but it is not always an immediate reason for rejection at the MOT. If we look at the guidelines of the Dutch national road traffic authority (RDW), a Peugeot 607 windscreen must in any case be replaced in case of window damage:
In all other cases it is not necessary to replace the Peugeot 607 windscreen immediately, but it is wise to keep an eye on the window damage. An asterisk, chip or crack can become bigger, especially due to large differences in temperature, such as with the heating in winter or air conditioning during hot days.
Few copies of the Peugeot 607 have been sold and that automatically means that the second-hand market has scarce parts for this type of car. The windscreens on the market are often expensive. The second-hand car window for the Peugeot 607 has a brand logo and that makes the car windows exclusive.
