Just got given one of these and have had a look at it. There must at least 30 or 40 wires to connect.

Has anyone got a wiring diagram or wiring instructions for this as i don't want to attempt this by myself (or pay loads for a garage to do it).

thank you in advance

One thing I forgot to mention, is that the cold start is jammed on as the car fast idols from cold and does not slow down when warm! Does this change anything?

Ok spoke to the man who gave me the car, he is unsure when the cam belt was changed, so i am going to have it changed. and the engine does seem a little louder than it should! also i have moved the car onto concrete and have noticed water dripping from what looks like from under the cambelt. Is the ...

I'll look into the cold start cable, but I'm sure that on my 405 the cold start is on a separate arm to the accelerator, and I assumed that it was the same on the 406!

I'll have a look tonight.

Thank you

Ok the black slug thing is coming off tonight, At the week end i will get a fuel filter and i bottle of diesel cleaner, fill up the filter housing with the cleaner and run the engine! Thank you for all your help, although i could not see any black smoke last night, but it had started to get dark by ...

I have removed and refitted my Fuel strainer and it is perfectly clean. I have also managed to track the slow aceleration to some weird contracption on the fuel pump under the bonnet. It's like a small black shock absorber that connects to the accelerator arm on the pump. If i just grab the accelera...

Actually,

there is one other little thing?

what is a fuel strainer, is it some kind of sponge? what does it look like?

thank you

Thank you

will try to clean it after i finish at the gym tonight!

Sounds like a great idea, however the car has no MOT or Tax at the moment so i can't drive it on the road! Basically i got it as an MOT failure as the owner couldn't be bothered to do the work. It has lots of other little issues that i can easily repair, but i wanted to sort this one out first! Is t...

This discription might help a little better, If the car is stationary and out of gear, and i press the accelerator right down the engine doesn't rev no where near as quick as it should (compared to every other car i've driven) and i little black smoke purs out the back. So theres no MAF, is there st...

Shows how much i know!! Does my 406 still have a EGR Valve (what ever that it)?? A better way to discribe the acceleration problem is when the car is stationary and out of gear if i quickly put the accelerator pedal to the floor the engine seems to take ages to rev to full, like a delay when you pus...

Peugeot usally place a sticker on the rear edge of the drivers door.

this has the original tire sizes and the recommended presures.

If not maybe try googling it!

I've had a look at the air filter, it's not bright yellow, but it's no worse than my diesel 405 air filter either (maybe a little better) Also i have done some googling this afternoon and one site mentions a MASS air flow failing or a sticky EGR Valve. I have no idea what these things are. Could the...

I have just acquired a very cheap 406 1.9td diesel. starts and sound perfectly fine, however when i press the accelerates pedal the engine accelerates slowly and a bit of black smoke comes out. (enough to fail a MOT) According to the Haynes manual fuel system is electronically managed and there are ...
