Hello from Croatia

Post by baho »

Hello,

Ivan,33 y, from Zagreb....just bought a '03 406 2.2 16v estate with LPG two months ago with 190000km behind him. Very nice car, well maintained, only two owners before, garaged always etc. Some problems solved, otherwise it is a great car. Not a frequent engine in my country (builed in 406), so I have to look beyond! Other car in the garage is 306 1.4 8v Profil '96., bought it 3 y ago, now it is my fun car :cheesy:

Owned before... '99 P206 1.4 8v from 1999-2007, '07 P1007 1.6 16v 2tronic from 2007-2011.... my parents owned a new '97 406 1.6 when I started to drive and since then I have this strange passion for one carmaker 8)

Pleased to be a member of 406 community.

sorry for my english :supafrisk:

Hello Ivan and welcome to the forum. 8)

No need to apoligise for your Engilsh, we undestand what you are saying.

The 2.2 petrol is not common, even in the UK - we have one current forum member with a 2.2 petrol coupe and have had one or two others in recent years.
Your car looks very tidy - is it Moonstone Blue? My last one was this colour.
190,000 km , (< 120,000 miles), would be considered low mileage in this country. It should be good for many more km/miles. :cheesy:
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Thanks

...it is an Iceland gray. Many of this 2.2 16v estate was sold in Nederland, I have found only this one in Croatia, one sedan is also on the market at the moment. Sport equipment, most similar to GT in Nederland or UK I think. Very comfortable car, lot of space, very nice on lpg or petrol. Done about 4000km in two months. More in a topic...

Dobro došli na stranicu! :cheesy: There are a couple of us regulars on here from Croatia, the other guy is in Istra. Unlike me he's a real Croat :supafrisk:

I think I was watching your car on njuskalo for quite a while, was it with the engine management light up? I'm always worried about LPG systems here because I have seen a few disasters, it appears nobody knows how to set them up properly :frown: So I was kind of expecting its problems to be terminal...

Hvala 8)

This is a car from njuskalo.hr, I was looking it for some time and once I checked him with my friend (former employer/electrician in peugeot garage) I had to have him. Like I said before, some problems solved, some to go. Engine managment light should be off in a couple of days after full service in a garage.
