Good day together I’m about to buy a new old car. I’ve seen a beautiful 406 coupé for just under 15’000 francs (just under 10’000 euros). 6 years old, silver, V6 with automatic, winter and summer tires on original aluminium, 46’000 km. The car looks absolutely perfect inside and outside. Neither scratches nor dents in the car, the leather is absolutely new and it has always been waiting in the contract workshop where I could buy it with a year warranty. On the test drive has not, glared or creaked, even if I have been whipped around the curves with squeaking tires (ESP off!).What should I pay special attention to? Where are the weak points? Thank you for your tips and greetings from Switzerland Richard

Moin moin, I’m wearing a 407 to buy a geek. So far I’ve been able to read a lot and learn a lot about it. But I can’t decide when it comes to motorization. About diesel-rechner.de the 2.0L HDI comes to me about 90€ cheaper a year than a petrol. I thought about the 2.2L petroler. My problem is that I don’t drive the terrible routes during the week 8km to work, 2-3 km in lunch break and again 8km home. My concern is that the diesel takes the frequent short distance during the week badly. Since I am actually a convinced diesel driver, I would not be deterred by total extra costs (tax, insurance etc.), but I don’t want to buy a car for about 14,000€ and then scrap the engine after 4 years or so. Vll. can help here someone who knows more about engines than I do (and that won’t be difficult 😉 ) Thanks already for your help!

Hello guys, after I searched the net for days in vain for a description, how to change the heat exchanger with the Peugeot 406, Bj 05/1999, petrol, I now ask here in the forum for your help Have found here already a post by DiNERO, where he writes that this is not so complicated, and then wrote it on, but up to now I have no answer. However, I have to work slowly, since the coolant smell becomes quite annoying (apart from that This morning I went to it and removed a few panels and the center console. I think that I found at least the supply lines to the WT, but I still don’t know how to get to the thing best. What’s also surprising is that I could not detect moisture near the supposed WT. Are there other reasons for coolant odor in the interior? The smell kicks away. always on when the vehicle is warm. Cooling water level is OK, engine oil a little bit. Please help me, I’m quite frustrated!!!!!

Hello dear Peugeot community. Maybe one of you can help me. Peugeot 406 SRTD 96. Year of construction with more than 220,000 KM. The following problem: My Peugeot has quite a start difficulty in the cold state. I have to press two to three times the zünder and get still on the gas so that he can start at all (is certainly not exactly healthy for the car). When it is then so far and the motor jumps on there is a quite large diesel cloud at the back. the car without problems on……only if he stands up for one or two hours these difficulties, then the start without the gas pedal to operate is almost impossible…….except I repeat the start process 10 times In winter where it was cold I had almost no start difficulties, now that it gets warmer all the more. What can this be about……someone might have a starvation. I still have one question. The nice oma of the Peugeot spare parts meant I had to ask the Peugeot which model/model fits in my. Are not all the same for this year of construction? It is probably not about the multifunctional display but alone about the temperature display. Do you have any idea in the direction????? Thank you for the numerous answers.

Hello, I drive a Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi FAP 135; 98kW (133PS); 10.10.2001 with 147.000km. I wanted to make oil changes and when the employees who have covered … they found that there is quite a lot of oil. That’s what they showed me and meant that it is probably the turbocharger that is defective. They also saw something in the middle full of oil and said that it is very likely but only one gasket can be. They recommended to go to Peugeot and Ü I have also noticed that something in the engine compartment “knocks, but not always. They couldn’t confirm that it comes from the turbocharger but they believe it can be. I’m surprised that the car still accelerates normally, even in 2500 revolutions. Now I don’t know if I should try to speed it up so hard again to control it that they told me that it’s about engine engine speed. You know what can be there and if it can be the turbocharger? Because I think it’s an expensive matter. At ATU they meant between 1500 and 2000€. Here I read that it can also be a clogged filter. Is it also possible? The last oil change is also quite long ago. Greeting Karol

Moin together, I have now switched from the Volvoforum to the Peugeotforum, as I could not see my S60 D5 due to vibration problems and processing weaknesses and have gained a Pug 407 SW. But I am a little disappointed by the few infos about the 407 here in the forum. Are all going around in the pure 407 forum – or how ? I personally like motor-talk.de much better and I would like if here about 407 “more goes away” ! So folks, post times Your opinions. Until then, Victor

Hi folks! Be able to afford me a 406 Coupe V6 in the next few months. Wants to ask if someone already had a direct comparison between the V6-machine (BJ 1997-1999) and the new one (year 2000-2004). I’m both already tested, and I have to say that the 207hp engine is actually not much better than the 190hp engine. Would get the 190hp-igen very cheap… but with far more km than the 207hp-igen Maybe it’s a subjective opinion because I don’t have both variations. The two vehicles are both very good offers… now I just want to ask if it really pays to spend more money considering that the 207-hp version actually doesn’t go well… greeneetz – agathodemon
