RFN Engine & Leather Seat

[QUINNYAYE]

Hi all i am a new member to this site.

I have a 2001 406 LX and have blown engine. The engine code is RFN, do I have to replace the engine with the same or will any engine do?

In the meantime I have bought a 1999 406 V6 Estate, I have bought leather seats out of a saloon, now just realised the back ones are different in an estate. Is there anyway of converting these or would it be advisable to sell on?

If you can help please
Many Thanks
Paul

Hiya mate, welcome

I dunno about the engine, but I do know you'll never get the back seats to fit so I'd sell them on and look out for a set from and estate.

Hi Paul. Another V6 estate, I hate you all! (can't get 'em here...)

Any engine? How about one from a lawnmower? According to Haynes (Book of Lies) you have a 2 litre petrol engine (code EW10J4 IFL5), Haynes also lists another EW series 2 litre - RFR (EW10J4 KL3), I've got no idea what the difference is, a quick glance through Haynes doesn't seem to help either. I suspect one's earlier than the other but I've no idea if it matters which you use, the only way to be sure it's all going to work with your engine management etc. is to get another RFN. You could ask Peugeot of course and if you're extremely lucky you might find someone with more than half a brain...

D8 or D9? What colour and trim level? Fancy a swap for a sweet running '98 V6 saloon?

Whywhywhy didn't I hold out a bit longer for an estate?

'cos your old motor was dead and you needed a new one sharpish?

rfr is a straight swap for the rfn, just make sure whichever engine you get comes from a pug that had L4, either engines can be found in the 206 and 307

Thanks for the help.

My estate is a D9 Green in colour

No, I could have waited, but AndyV6's was going sooo cheap compared to the others at the time and the guy posting here meant a quick search told me what I needed to know about its recent problems... and it was a V6

Still, I can't fault the car (apart from the dodgy noise from the NSR and the sh*t Tesco Value exhaust), it's just I really don't like the saloon's tiny boot. I'm going to be pilin' it high on the dropped back seat (WHY ISN'T THE BOTTOM PART HINGED??? ) when we go to Belgium next week!
