My HDI - now staying

[ECA]

As it looks like its staying now - the 306 replacement threw a conrod out of the sump on Thursday and is currently p*ssing oil all over my drive.

I thought I would puts some piccys up

Looks very tidy, that a 110? (he said showing his ignorance)

[eoin27]

Tis a 90 (no intercooler pipe)

Not being rude but do you find the 90 a bit underpowered in the estate form? ive a 90 saloon

[steve_earwig]

Worse still, there's a tow hitch with a stabiliser, hamburger stands over mountains?

[ECA]

Yep it is a 90 and very underpowered especially up hills with my burger van



Going for a remap as soon as I can find someone decent and local

Tidy looking 406 that, nice colour too. A remap is certainly in order for towing.

Your 306's conrod failure is surprising common yet kinda pot luck! Peugeot never admitted a problem with the 1996-1998 Diesels and concluded that is was cheaper to let the customers find out which one's were dodgy and then replace those engines rather than call the whole lot back in for exchange similarly other cars built during that period would soldier on for ever....

That has gotta be the best 406 colour... i want one that colour!

Its the 306's 1.9XUD with the dreaded 'DHY' engine code, or the chocolate conrod engine as they are known in the trade, 70k+ one are problem engines around the 1997-1998 ish dudes.

Hope this helps anyone who has or is looking for one.

From being on pug306.net I found its a common fault with the DHY engine (only after buying the poxy thing)- was thinking of sticking another engine in but it would be another second hand engine that I dont know the history of and the £500 I would spend getting it and fitting could be better spent on remapping the 406.

So if anyone needs any bits for a 306 let me know

From what I can gather thats about all there is to it.
