Re: Clanking noise from engine bay.

Eek! That sounds pretty horrific :shock: And why is there so much vapour (water?) coming out of the engine? That can't be right. Umm, it's not sounding like engine death to me (admittedly it's hard to say on a vid), could be crank pulley (remove belt), waterpump, probably not timing belt shredding.....

No worries, it's all good 8)

I was more thinking of from the perspective of a former 406 driver :wink: Are you saying yours is a hybrid? :shock:

Re: 406coupe central locking retrofit

You've lost me I'm afraid, the BSI pinouts are different - 16W BK pin 5: Semi-mux output rear wiper control/ full-mux looks like it's the deadlocks. However, I realise a switch is a switch, the signalling will be the same. As long as you're looking at wire numbers and not connector positions. I've s...

Re: 406coupe central locking retrofit

I think the total closure (i.e. shutting the windows with the door lock control) was coupe only (and I don't think there was even the option after RPO 9001), it might be there, I don't know. Same with the locks really, it could be the same, you'll only know if you look I guess.

Re: 406coupe central locking retrofit

The first one is black, the second one is green? Apologies, I'm not really sure what you're getting at. I can't get into the wiring diagrams any more, is there more than 1 black and 1 green 16 pin connector? Or are you confused (like I was for a moment) because the connector is shown twice in each p...

Er, hello. Which pictures do you mean? I think these are different connectors because the BSI has... lots.

Re: and today i have mostly been...

At least you tried to do it your wife's way. That's like air guns in tyre shops, if the monkey winding your wheel nuts on isn't awake they either strip them or you can't get them off again without explosives. I'm all for labour-saving tools but you have to know how to use them. There is no pride for...

That was indeed rather fortuitous :shock: I don't suppose the Twinger is high up the wish list of car thieves either (what's the insewerants like?)

Re: old topic, 406 replacement ?

That's splendid 8) I miss mine too, although I still see it quite often as my buddy Goran now owns it. I spoke to him last Saturday and he'd just washed it and fed the leather. I still reckon it's a fantastic looking car, sadly sitting in it reminds me why I stopped driving it - oh my bloody back :f...

Re: 406coupe central locking retrofit

Some of the boards are like that, it seems to be a feature :?

Nicely done 8) That looks like an excellent workaround for the OEM garba... sorry, I mean system.

Mmm, lego bricks... :supafrisk:
