SOLD

Hi all I thought that this section was the best place to ask this question. I have a 1999 (V plate) 1.8 Rapier petrol 406 saloon that I want to sell. Body work is average, to slightly below with one or two car park knocks/scrapes. Mileage is 185,000. New tyres on front, but will need a rear exhaust ...

Hi, here you go. Basically it's under the inlet manifold, just to the right. You'll note that I popped a 10mm sleeve of pvc pipe over the sharp(ish) section of engine that caused the wires to rub and short out. http://www.paulphilpot.com/images/Peugeot-406-loom-shorting.jpg Good luck with it - I kno...

When I was trying to track down my first hesitation issue (cause by a shorting sensor wire) when I ran the car with the lambda probe temporarily disconnected the problem went away. This wasn't due to a faulty lambda probe as the problem returned when I fitted a replacement - but I believe that the E...

Ah, the engine hesitation issues - I've had two bouts of this on my '99 1.8 petrol. The first was a chaffed wire sparking on the engine - the wire went to one of the sensors on the throttle body housing. After this was fixed, a few months later it started hesitating again. I replaced the stepper mot...

Sparky - I was just about to suggest the coolant temperature sensor - mine 1.8 has been playing up again, and this time I think its the CTS. Keys84 - if you still have the car try unplugging the CTS (the one of the three with the green connector). The first idle may be a bit rough, but once the ECU ...

Hi all I'm having another hesitation problem with my 1999 1.8 16v 406. Here are the symptoms: 1) Rough high idling: it idles between 1100 and 1300 whereas before it was a steady 950 2) Sudden quick hesitation (enough to jerk the car forward), cured by giving more fuel. This began after I changed the...

Hi - while mine is a D9 1.8 16v, I've had one hell of a time with the sensor electrics on my car. My problems were the reverse of yours and 2100 (ish) would start the hesitation. That problem turned out to be a worn our sensor wire – part of the loom under the inlet manifold - it was rubbing on part...

Hi, it was fuse 27 that was being blown (on occasion, and got worse) which protects a number of components including the ECU. Here's how my problem was: When I disconnected the Lambda probe it essentially stopped the ECU from looking for sensor data and therefore stopped sending current down the bro...

Hi abonet I solved mine by tracing back along the wiring loom of the sensors and found that a design fault had led to some sensor wires rubbing on the engine block and causing them to short. This is what I wrote here: http://www.406oc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11976#p105815 OK, so every time I post ...

What about trying The Parts Gateway (http://www.partsgateway.co.uk) - they put a second hand parts request to a number of scrappies. Whenever I've had parts from their companies they have all been in good condition.

Cool, thanks for that dogslife.

On the exhaust, to get you through why not try £6 on high temperature instant gasket RTV silicone - it's stickier than standard exhaust repair putty that normally falls off.

Thanks for that kevtherev. When you refilled after draining, did you need to create the 'header' with a bottle or was the tank high enough to avoid bad airlocks...?

Cheers

Paul

Oh, OK then. So I'll assume at this point that the cylinder block will drain itself after I flush it then.
