Thanks for the responses (especially for the meth tip). They are still in one piece but look the worse for wear (possibly even stretched) so I should probably get a new set. I also have a less than perfect seal at the top of the front passenger door (makes a whistling sound at speed) - initially I t...

hello

I need to replace the sill rubbers on my 2002 2.0 HDI 406 estate but I only see references to the parts 9023 LJ and 9023 LK - are these parts the same for both saloon and estate?

Thanks

+Frog, as ever, thanks so much for your help and advice. Today, we (the mechanic and I) managed to lock the car key inside with the engine running. Shutting the driver door seems to be automatically triggering the central locking (even when the key is in the lock and the engine is running). Not sure...

Thanks again, +Frog. As suggested earlier, looks like my cooling fan has stopped working and the mechanic needs more time than is available to me for repair. I need to get from lisbon to London (in about 3 800Km legs). I'm told that motorway driving should be ok and that any overheating problems wil...

I was going to buy this on the bay - is there a less expensive option? The other options I identified either didn't work on diesel or were not full chip.

+Frog, Thanks very much for taking the time to respond to my questions - i really appreciate it. The car is with the mechanic for a service, aux belt change and suspension. I've now got XP running on virtualbox on my mac and am about to buy my copy of PP2000. Thanks again for your kindness and patie...

Hello again +Frog, thanks so much for the confirmation of my understanding and for the very helpful document. I took the car to a mechanic who confirms that the turbo is spinning and was surprised that I could not hear it as it is also whistling slightly at low revs. I am deaf in one ear so perhaps ...

Revising my understanding (mumbling to myself here - but would be grateful for confirmation). The wastegate is the on/off switch for the turbo (i thought it was simply a bypass designed to prevent overboost but thinking about it properly, in order for it to do that job it must switch it off).. By de...

Thanks very much to both of you for your responses. I'm going for a drive with the mechanic this afternoon and will try to reach the suggested speeds. One test that I did carry out earlier was to rev the engine and feel the effect on the intercooler hose and it was pressurised. Can I assume from thi...

Hello all Newbie here writing from Lisbon, Portugal. I apologise in advance for this long first post but after climbing a steep learning curve about car engines in general and the 406, in particular (a lot of it here, thank you), I still have the following issues and questions. Just got an '02 RHZ (...
