"The Pooh" in the Consultation Room

    In this page, I will describe physical diagnoses for my "Peugeot The Pooh", who came from France, and who often gets troubles that will never happen for Japanese cars. I think some major and minor troubles will come one after another, but Pooh is the first and second French car for me, that's why I am always fearful of encountering such troubles.
    I sincerely hope that these info will be of help for you that wish to own some French cars in the near future.
