Cheers will give it a try, worst case I plug it back in.

I might end up doing that, is it just a simple plug? I've heard of people reprogramming the ECU(?) to bypass the immobiliser but I'm not sure if that's something that involves sending the ECU off to someone. Turns out 1111 wasn't the code at all but I could start the car because I used the fob key b...

Hi all, Apologies for the trivial question but I'd like to replace the spark plugs on a 1997 2.0 Turbo (XU10J2TE) and the layout is slightly different to what I've found online for (presumably later) petrol engines. Instead of a plastic engine cover and a single ignition coil pack for all four plugs...

If anyone is interested, part number 117422 works and is available online.

For anyone that's interested - the plain key + default code (1111) worked to start the car. Apparently, the code can be changed with the following steps: ignition on, enter old code, press C, new code, press C to confirm.

Hi,

Previous owner said it was like that when he got it, it could be something peculiar to Swedish (or Euro?) 406s from that time? I guess I'll have to start calling dealers!

Thanks

Hi all, I've recently purchased a 1997 estate that came with two keys - one fob (door and boot unlock buttons) and a "plain" key. The fob buttons work to unlock the central locking and both keys do the same. But if I want to start the car I need to press and hold the door unlock button whilst turnin...

Thanks that's very good info on that part number formatting. I've found someone who sells both 117422 and 1174E2 so I'll get the dimensions for both and compare it to mine. I suspect it'll be the former as I can't imagine the dipsticks specs are different for the NA vs turbo petrols. Especially sinc...

Hi, Thanks for the link, 117422 and 1174E2 could be the same the same thing (typo perhaps?). I think I can get the latter off Ebay but I'll see if I can track down the former. It was a small piece of plastic so will likely float in the oil, hence why I'm hoping an oil change will flush it out. But t...

Hi all, I was hoping someone on here knows what the part number is for the dipstick for a 1997 2.0 petrol turbo (engine code XU10J2TE). I think it's 1174E2 (yellow handle - same as what I had) but I'm not too sure. The dimensions would be useful too. The handle on mine has disintegrated and I wasn't...

Update: Sold via the 406oc FB page.

Emigration means it is time to part ways with my 2002 406 110 HDi Executive estate (52 reg). China blue with a cream leather interior. Tax valid until 1st Oct 2022 and MOT until 10th March 2023. 121717 miles as of today, I've put mainly motorway miles on it as I don't drive to work. Considering its ...
