Hello my fellow pug chums!! :o)

[Bigcol]

Hey guys,
i've come back into the wonderful world of Pug 406 ownership after a bit of a break... been driving a highly tuned Saab 9000 Aero for the last couple of years. I've had a couple of 405's in the past, including a 1905cc Td, and a 1.6 petrol. And have just aquired an S reg 406 Turbo Diesel. I'm quite handy with the old spanners and if pug dealers are the same as Saab dealers (and i've no doubt they are!!??) I will be doing all the work on the car my self...With a little help from you knowledgable chaps

Hello Sir!

Highly tuned Saab eh? what kinda power were you running?

And yes, main dealers are not always on your side when it comes to money ££££££££££..........

hello and welcome to the site !!

Hi there, welcome

By td I guess 1.9, so it'll be more-or-less the same lump as your 405td, albeit with a slightly more complicated fuel pump.

[Bigcol]

Sorry, yes it is a 1.9td. Does that mean i can run it on veggie oil!!?? My Saab has 350bhp . More than a hand full in the wet... you should see the look on M3 drivers faces when they get creamed by an old barge!! Lol

I like this guy already - it's satisfying to upset them isn't it

Hello and welcome on in mate,

[Welly]

I'm not that up to date on me Saab's but I'm pretty sure they're all front wheel drive - if so 350bhp is tyre-shredding bonkers territory

Welcome to you Col!

Does that mean i can run it on veggie oil!!??

Oh yes, it seems the best engine on the 406 for that sort of thing: the 2.1 needs a fuel pump off of an old 1.9 td (405 Xantia mk1 etc) plus a lot of fiddling, HDis will only run on a percentage (or so I'm told). Currently being discussed here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13723&hilit=veg*+oil#p125980 but there's a load of stuff about it on this forum, just have a search.
