[Ares]

I know there are some posts about this but they are burried along with other info so i put this info here,again,maybe we all can put our pugs together and see how many sisters 406 are here

There is a 6 digit code painted in yellow on the strut top, first 4 numbers relate to date, second 2 to the plant it was built at (stole this info from Plods post )

81 = Poissy France
82 = Villaverde Spain
83 = Ryton UK
85 = Vesoul France
87 = Eiv Poissy France
88 = Mulhouse France
89 = Sochaux France
U5 = Pininfarina Italy
U8 = Sevel Italy
U9 = Sevel nord France
UT = Kolin Czech
CA = Aulnay France
CJ = Rennes France
FV = Vigo Spain
G8 = Creil France
G9 = Gennevilliers France
RE = Rennes France

I put the code into this :

They all seem to come up Sochaux, all the one's I've ever tried have. Apart from Coupés of course.

[Ares]

Plods car came up from Eiv Poissy France.

this is the topic,i stole most of information

[jonsowman]

Mine's also Sochaux

[highlander]

Most 406s were born in the Sochaux plant.

The 406 Coupes all came from Pininfarina's plant in San Giorgio Canavese, in Turin, Italy.

[Ares]

What about pugs 306,do they have similar codes,frend of mine ask.

[steve_earwig]

They must do, where it is will probably depend on the age of the car. Or you could just put it into Service Box and it'll give the RPO in "characteristics"

Can I be a typical woman and ask what is a strut and is it definitely painted in yellow?
I am interested to find out about Miss Pug

A strut is a shock absorber.

Open bonnet, follow middle of each wheel upward to under the bonnet, at the top of each inner wing will be 3 torx bolts, the yellow paint will be around one of the top strut mountings....the 3 torx bolts.

Isn't the build code normally on a sticker on the driver's door pillar, along with the tyre pressures?

[steve_earwig]

I'm not sure, I know it is on D9s but the one on my D8 was missing. I'm fairly sure the paint code is only on the label on D9s anyway.

what is a strut

Oh yes, someone did that for me
I found the build number and put it in that site that was given: I must of f*cked up some where as it's come up as yellow Pulsar Yellow to be precise. LOL

My build code is 5 numbers / 2 numbers / 1 number / 4 numbers

Can you see where I got confused?

[steve_earwig]

That won't tell you the paint colour, that's elsewhere in the characteristics. Pulsar Yellow is the default.

My build code is 5 numbers / 2 numbers / 1 number / 4 numbers

5 numbers = RPO (the important bit)
2 numbers = Plant code
Dunno what the rest is, it probably means something but I've never been interested enough to ask.

[steve_earwig]

This is the sticker from my D9:

Near the bottom is the build code again (0989189), the first five numbers are the RPO and the last two are the plant code. The paint code is that EXLD** which isn't on that link you posted but as far as I remember is Obsidian black metallic and perlescent (that's the two * s)
