Hi Helen
I'm sorry I've been off the forum for a while and have only just seen your post.
Do you still need the part?

There is a breaker on the 406 coupe forum that may have a part available for you - if you like I can ask the question?

Best wishes,
Kelv

Likely to be for the eolsys setup which is on all 2.2 Hdi's but only on the last of the 2.0 Hdi's.

Nothing to worry about

I have a D9, so I'm happy to take measurements etc for peace of mind.

My old chrome strips were well past their best, so I simply* stuck some 10mm and 12mm coloured stripes over the top

Hi 😁 As far as I know the plain black molding is for D8 models, except the executive and possibly the sportier ones - and all the later D9's had the chrome strip. Are you wanting to insert the chrome strip from a later car into the bumper of your earlier car? I've looked at pictures of both, and whi...

Well, I certainly don't need 2 cars...

My insurance, tax and MOT ( all passed so far ) is around £400 per year, so for just over £1 per day I can haz a car for literally abusing, dump trips, trampolines on the roof - that sort of thing, while keeping the Volvo as a car for best.

364 days to go.

Well, I've just put the dump trip bargain basement 406 for it's MOT - it passed again for the 5th year in a row but Sven the MOT guy has whispered in my ear that it won't pass next year due to rust on the rear subframe, arms, pretty much everywhere. I paid £150 for the car about 5 years ago and it's...

Yeah, the thought of climate control is tempting, and all my 406s to date had it, but it's a bit noisy, starts on its own accord and is more of a gimmick to me. Stick with the rotary dials, easier to use, less to go wrong even if it looks a little cheap in comparison. As Steve said, it's possible to...

Pity, but I understand where you are coming from. Fortunately mine keeps scraping through MOTs but it'll be discarded if it fails next time as it's only a dump trip car ( albeit reliable and comfy ) Second hand cars seemed to have gone up in price so I'm not sure if a worthy replacement will be chea...

Nice one

Your car is I believe a phase 2 model ( 2000 - 2004 ) so any saloon/estate wing from this era will fit - fuel type is inconsequential :cheesy: A 406 coupe front wing is completely different and will not fit. It's sometimes difficult to tell on online sites however if the wing has an indicator hole h...

So it seems your EGR is jammed, however whether this is jammed open or closed is a different story.... I'm pretty certain the rest position for the EGR is closed, and the vacuum pump/solenoid keep it closed until decelerating when the solenoid stops the vacuum so the EGR pings open No vacuum supply,...

It's 1628HC if I remember correctly.

Both solenoid valves have the same part number and the both kinda flutter open and closed but the ECU determines how quick each one flutters depending on demand.

Thing is, a 110Hdi will light up the EML if you disconnect the solenoid - whereas the Hdi90 is more forgiving.. Just check the vacuum pipes for any splits, or just replace them with some from eBay or something - might not fix it but it's worth doing as a matter of course. You can also swap the conne...

There is a common fault with the Comms unit - where the tiny metal ring inside the light stalk gets worn out.

If you still have one of your old Comms units you could give the repair a go

There are a few videos on YouTube if you search for Comms unit repair

I think you can also use the Customer Options menu to mark the auto lights as absent - it's been a few years since I've dabbled with it ....
