Hi everybody

My name is Matthew and I live in Estonia, Tallinn.
I'm 19 and eager to do stuff to my pug

I drive a year 2000 Pug 406 Break with 2L engine, 99kW EW10J4(RFR).
It's my first Pug and i'm very pleased with it

(As you can see I'm bad @ Introducing Myself )

[puggy]

you enjoy the site

Hi there Matthew, welcome aboard!

[406Break]

Such warm greetings

Maybe I should show the main subject?... yes I should

i think i've seen that car before. On cardomain?

its a strange combination of spec. You have the headlight washers, but its a basic model with black handles and mirrors. very clean though. Did u fit xenons?

Hey another Matthew!
Welcome on in, very tidy car!

[406Break]

It looks tidy when it's clean
There are a few thing that bug me (I may sound psycho )

The body panels are a bit off
Nobody knows why my cars engine is slightly unstable (idle ~735-748 rpm)(It maybe hard to imagine but it sounds, looks and feels)
The atenna doesn't work 100% @ any angle
On city streets 16L/100km fuel consumption
(BTW: the exhaust readings were better than on a new car or anything the MOT guys made big eyes when they saw those readings)
headlights are weak @ night IMO
windscreen wipers dont work well @ high speeds

If any of these problems can be self mended, i'll do it (just tell me how )

The body panels are a bit off

In what way are they off?

My HDi's idle timing isnt perfect either, its not a big deal. My mates old mondeo idled constantly at 780 rpm on the laptop and mine went up and down about twenty or thirty revs.

The atenna doesn't work 100% @ any angle

Is it connected at the radio end?

On city streets 16L/100km fuel consumption

Haven't a clue. could be lots of things. I'm confused as to what spec 406 you have, it looks like a base model on the outside apart from the headlamp washers

windscreen wipers dont work well @ high speeds

in what way? are they slow at high speed. The wiper motor might be on the way out

(BTW: the exhaust readings were better than on a new car or anything the MOT guys made big eyes when they saw those readings)

154g CO2 for a DW10 HDi

headlights are weak @ night IMO

Check to see if they're focused correctly and if they're not lowered by the switch. My headlights are top dog

Welcome to the site. Very clean and tidy car you've got there.

Could the spec confusion be that it's a base model with a sort of 'vision' pack which could include headlamp washers. Or maybe their compulsory in Estonia. I don't know, I'm no expert and I've got Monday off so I've had a few!!

1. You'd have to see it to believe it
2. I'll record the sound some day
3. That doesn't mean that it doesn't work at all it works 80% @ every angle. Any car or house will disturb the signal.
4. If helps, VIN: VF38ERFRExxxxxxxx - dunno' either
5. wipers leave a dirty spot just where i look out(drivers side )
6. Here they measure it in (% vol) or something...
CO @ 750 rpm - 0.005; CO @ 2270 rpm - 0.003
CO2 @ 750 rpm - 14.25; CO2 @ 2270 rpm - 14.3
HC @ 750 rpm - 3; HC @ 2270 rpm - 2
O2 @ 750 rpm - 0.16; O2 @ 2270 rpm - 0.09
7. Maybe I'm just whining cause I've driven a car with xenon

[406Break]

things i have on my car:
heated seats, front electric windows, headlamp washers, front fog lamps, chrome strips @ the front and @ the back, but not on the doors...

A/C - manual not automatic.

mmmm. something smells a bit fishy..

what do you know of the cars history?

Lambda probe?

On city streets 16L/100km fuel consumption

That's appalling! (=17.655058517mpg) Still, it is a petrol

headlights are weak @ night IMO

Are they getting the full 12 volts from the battery? Are they going cloudy??

windscreen wipers dont work well @ high speeds

Is that when they are working at high speed (as Eoin says, probably the motor) or do they have trouble when the car is going fast? (Weak springs at the bases of the wiper arms)
