406 SV 3.0 V6 "luxury sedan"
406 SV 3.0 V6 "luxury sedan"
Hello from Finland!
I bought my -97 406 V6 3.0 sedan in July 2012. I used to have -03 v6 wagon but i didnt like the power loss of automatic transmission.
It was drived 208tkm, and i have drived now about 217tkm.
Main reasons why I bought that car was: It was very cheap, black (rare colour in 406 at least in Finland), manual, full leather interior (electric)-
But becuse it was cheap, it aint perfect: only 1 tires with 15" steel wheels, timing belt change is coming , Driver side rear door is wrecked..
Here is couple of pictures at car when i bought it:
So what i plan to do with that car? Interior is taking ph2 leather doorcards, exterior needs to get clean and maybe phase 2 front end...

Good stuff, looks nice a nice example, you've clearly put a lot of work in. Is getting a replacement door panel going to be too difficult over there?
I'll be interested to see the pics if you decide to go for a Phase 2 (D9) front end
Also you appear to be missing your radio antenna!

Ooh shiny
Very nice
Black isn't very common over here either.
Midsmike has put D9 leather door cards in his D8, so that can definitely be done.
Changing the front-end is harder if not impossible because the bumper, lights, wings, and bonnet are all different. Take a look at our pics from French Car Show last year to see them next to eachother.
How does heat treating the rub strips work? I haven't heard of that before.

Here is couple of pictures about finnish pugclubs dynoday: http://photour.net/sportpug-com-dyno-day/ as you can see strips are allmost deep black..
Heating is very easy, put heatgun near of strip and u will see the results.. No need for cemicals and the result will be much better and last longing... But be carefull so u dont burn them..
I used to use cemicals before, but heatgun trick is very efective.. They dont suck dust like cemically weared strips..

I love this picture:
Almost bang on 210bhp (156kW) which is what Peugeot say the ES9J4S engine should be producing. 6,000rpm as well. Oh and a full tank of fuel!

Re: 406 SV 3.0 V6 "luxury sedan"
Oh, sorry, yours is a ES9J4, which is meant to be 194bhp. Even more impressive that you got 213bhp from it!

Re: 406 SV 3.0 V6 "luxury sedan"
Yeah, engine is stock.. Only mods are better breathing airfilter "induction kit" i mean the hose that goes to stock filterbox, it still got stock airfilter panel.. And rear silencer removed, straight pipe is replacing that backbox.jonsowman wrote:Oh, sorry, yours is a ES9J4, which is meant to be 194bhp. Even more impressive that you got 213bhp from it!

Re: 406 SV 3.0 V6 "luxury sedan"
And story will go on.
Roof isolated with silentcoat multilayer. Roofcard is upholstered with black felt type of cloth.
After searching about 6months at finnish scrapyards I finally found phase 2 full leather doorcards. Every door is re-wired excluding drivers side, and window switch lights are changed to red ones.. Every door excluding passenger side had connector to card light.. But thats no too hard to rewire.
Couple of pictures about tweeters, DLS nordica 1:s are quite bigger than stock ones
I found tripcomputer and new stalk too, and they will arive end of month.
