hello everyone my name is Ryan, I haven't got a 406 YET because I'm waiting for my insurance to pay up on my last car (nissan primera) but will be getting a 406 for my next car, I'm thinking of getting a 2.0 turbo and would be appreciative of any help I can get about these cars, many thanks
look forward to hearing from you all
RYAN

Re: hi everyone
Welcome Ryan!
I've got the 2l turbo, you'll be very pleased with it!
Only thing to prepare yourself for; check for any coolant leaks, primarily swiss cheese rad & bottom hose; also the thermostat seal.
If the rad has gone the head gasket may be blowing; needless to say I suffered all of these but it's running sweet now
I dropped some k-seal in the coolant for the head gasket and 2 months down the line it's not lost any coolant & the oil filler cap is clean. Not a permanent fix but it'll do for now!
