Re: 406 LX diesel 1997
It would be easiest to get a new diesel filter, then open up the filter housing to see if there is any gunge in there, then replace the filter, fitting some injection cleaner, neat, direct into the filter housing, bleed it up and run it. On the schedule for tomorrow. I've been running it with a hig...

Re: 406 LX diesel 1997
Cheers for the replies.
Is the tank strainer accessible from inside the vehicle or only from outside?

Re: 406 LX diesel 1997
True it appears to be devoid of a MAF. Makes me wonder just how awful this engine is. So today I'll be checking that full depression of the accelerator is in fact full throttle. You'd be surprised at how many V8's I've checked over and found that full accelrator depression only gives 1/2 throttle. A...

Re: 406 LX diesel 1997
Ok, had a good look over this for the first time today and for the life of me I cannot find a MAF sensor on there anywhere.
It's definately the 1.9 turbo engine so I would expect it to have one somewhere.
If anyone knows the whereabouts of the MAF on this engine can they let me know

Re: 406 LX diesel 1997
Ok.
1.9 Turbo engine, appears to be the 90bhp version which makes the performance even more horrendous.
Does anyone have a part number for the MAF?

Re: 406 LX diesel 1997
Hi
It appears to be the 1.9 N/A engine although I swear I can hear a faint hint of a turbo spooling if I drive with the windows open.

406 LX diesel 1997
Hi New to the site so hi to all. Just got a 406 LX estate as a temporary car and was appalled by the sluggish acceleration. It's borderline dangerous. Question is does this vehicle have a Mass Air Flow meter and if so where is it, quick look under thebonnet revealed nothing like a MAF to be seen. Ch...
