208 GTI Endless problems

<p>I bought a 208 GTI in February, I noticed that the coolant levels were extremely low, I topped it up but noticed it declined, I took my car to Peugeot Centurion to which the technician told me it was the cap that was leaking. A week later it did the exact same thing, I took it back to the branch to which they said it was the Thermostat and that they would only receive the part after a week in which time they strongly advised not to drive the car. I was not able to drive the car for that week and when I got there the following week, they had not even ordered the part yet! The manager frantically got a part from another branch and I had to wait an extra day for the car. I took the car home and the next day the same problem occurred. I took it back to the dealership for a third time, they had the car checked to which they told me that the head gasket was mixing fluids. I waited SIX AND A HALF WEEKS for my car, with two updates on the car, i had to constantly be phoning Peugeot to ask what was happening. After two weeks of the car being repaired I drove it to Freestate and upon arrival I saw smoke coming out of the engine bay. I took it to Peugeot to which they said it was a leaking pipe in the engine bay, when I got home the whole garage was full of smoke. This is absolutely ridiculous, I tried calling Peugeot South Africa to which they were absolutely useless. The service of Peugeot is PATHETIC. </p>
