peugeot expert tepee reviews by year of make: 2005 2007 2008 2009 Read all reviews
The unusual Peugeot Expert Tepee may look like it is built for those who like to live under canvas, but it is actually Peugeot’s latest step into the light commercial vehicle market. The Expert Tepee comes in two formats – a standard and long wheelbase body length – and is particularly aimed at professional drivers, especially those who specialise in airport and hotel transport. It could be an economical choice for your business too with three HDi Euro IV turbodiesel engines and two diesel units to choose from. Depending on your purpose for the vehicle, the Peugeot Expert Tepee is available with either two or three rows of seats sitting 5/6 or 8/9.

I’ve had numerous problems with this vehicle since buying it from cab direct, who are happy to make repairs under the original warranty but not so keen when you’re looking for repairs to be done under the extented warranty (not worth taking out, a waste of time). I’ve just had the starter motor replaced 2 weeks after having the clutch and flywheel done, not a coincidence. I’m stuck with it and will just have to wait on the next fault.

Mine was purchased as a ex demo vehicle in Oct 2008, at 17000 miles. I’ve just reached 40k and the dual mass flywheel has crumbled. Luckily it’s still under warranty but not the clutch, which they said was two thirds worn. They could have put the clutch back in but it would probably needed replacing as its worn. The clutch cost me just under 300.00 - disgusting, as I have 2 other older eurotaxis coming up to 250,000 and I have only just replaced the clutches. I’ve had problems with the roll bars, like everyone else it seems, and I am feeling now that I have bought a heap of rubbish. I am going to try and get my cash back for the clutch and think I should contact watchdog to investigate the problem as looking at this it seems to be a fault by Peugeot; they are not stepping up to the mark in recalling these faults. They know they are faulty as apparently they have a conversion kit for 300.00 to dump the dual mass flywheel. I need to investigate more. If you know of this problem, if you got anywhere with Peugeot or would support me on contacting watchdog then contact me on email at GOLDINGFEW34DART@AOL.COM. Thank you.

I have had my Peugeot since August 2007, the only thing I can say about it is what a peice of rubbish. Problems started within two weeks. In the last 2 years it has had 2 front anti roll bars, waiting for the third now, 5 sets of discs, lost track of brake pads, rear bushes are on the way, out clutch has been replaced, starter motor replaced, ECU went wrong, side doors stick, front tire wear is unbelievable. I spoke to Cab Direct who sold me the vehicle and they weren’t intrested, the warranty is a waste of time and as for Peugeot you might as well bang your head against a brick wall; it would be less painful then trying to get anywhere with Cab Direct or Peugeot. As for the modified anti roll bar, my local dealer has never heard of it.

Well, would you believe it? I have just lost the power steering and I have a bucket load of work to do. It just gets better and better with this car. I lost it for nearly a week last time . IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING ONE OF THESE FOR TAXI WORK DON’T UNLESS YOU GET A BLOODY GOOD WARRANTY ON IT. I have the standard 3 year 60k warranty which will run out in about 6 weeks time and if you read my previous posts you will see why you need it. I can’t afford to change the car!!!!!!!

Update to previous: car failed to start last Sunday morning, I thought maybe the key had lost its code. I tried the spare on the Monday, still no good, tried jumping, no good. I called the breakdown service who managed to get it started by shorting the terminals of the starter with a penny. I left it with main dealer to look into and also the grinding/knocking from the clutch which they aid was likely to be clutch bearing. Well... the grinding is the dual mass fly wheel, luckily still on warranty or I would be looking at £1000 to fix it. The starting was a fuse!!!!!! I have to say I have lost all faith in this car, in the 7 months I have had it, it has been in the main dealer 7 times for faults. It’s on 48k now I got it on 22k - I am shaking just thinking about the next 30k. I cannot recommend this car anymore to much has gone wrong. Peugeot, you have built a pile of, well you know what...

An update to my previous entry. Since last writing I have had both the anti roll link bars done at 30000, rear discs and pads at 33000 plus both sliding door windows replaced due to water leakage. I still have creaking and knocking from the rear, any thoughts? Still a good drive though, I have to say I still prefer the 806 which has done 175000 (reckon its done more like 275000) and is still going strong. Anyone know how I can stretch it to get more luggage in? Also, I can’t believe a 2007 engine that cant run on biofuel!!!!!!!

I use the E7 as a hackney carriage. The vehicle is beautiful to drive, but all is not good. All the NEW E7 drivers have had similar trouble. The anti-rollbar and links have been replaced under warranty. The dual mass flywheel develops play and needs replacing. Please note if you notice clutch judder when vehicle is warm. Please visit dealer as soon as possible, because if you go over 20,000 miles the dealer will insist on replacing the clutch as well. They will tell you to pay for the clutch (clutch warranty 20,000m) and Peugeot will reimburse you. Don’t fall for it - they will not. Insist the clutch not be replaced as its not worn out yet, or let them replace the clutch, but don’t part with any money. THE FLYWHEEL IS FAULTY, NOT THE CLUTCH. MY LOCAL DEALER IS THE WORST GARAGE I HAVE DEALT WITH IN OVER 18 YEARS. PEUGEOT H.Q AREN’T MUCH BETTER. TRY GETTING EVERYTHING IN WRITING.

My taxi is going in for it’s 48000 service and the 4th front suspension refit (antiroll bar and bits). Each time they argue it’s not covered under warranty, then after phone calls, they repair for free. I hope they have found a cure, I’m about to get rid of mine, I paid a lot of of money for my work tool, did not expect this kind of treatment from the manufacturer...

The Peugeot Tepee has a common fault - I’ve had my anti-roll bar replaced after just 28000 miles - it was knocking - and so have all the taxi drivers who bought E7s. The good news is the guys at Peugeot have modified the anti-roll bar.

Having similar problem with E7 SE, creaking noise coming from offside area after about 4,000 miles or 2 months. Peugeot dealer renewed track rod arm and still problem so they then said it was a problem with lubrication on suspension. The dealer did that and still problem exists. Vehicle has now done 12,000 miles and dealer has ordered suspension unit; waiting for delivery of same. Will let you know if this cures problem.

What a beast, I love our new Tepee. We had ordered a brand new one, but due to manufacturing delays decided to go with a second hand one, which incidentally was near impossible to find. So much room for all our family and all the luggage that goes with us. Extremely comfortable, plenty of width and leg room. Driving our Tepee is super not one iota like a van. All the adjustments that can be made to the driving position make it so comfortable too. Although filling it up with diesel for the first time was a bit of a shock (£85.00), the MPG is around 32 and that is all short journeys taxiing the children around. I recommend the Tepee to anybody that will listen! For a family it is the must have mode of transport that puts all the others in the dark.
