Who missed me?

[MaDc0w]

Been gone a while but back again (didn't think you guys would get rid of me that quick or)

Since my 406 was so busted up I couldn't afford to fix it the last few months hehe..

BUT SHE LIVES!

And it only set me back about 3000€.. Rides almost as new again..

The car STILL dies sometimes at traffic lights and crossings and has to be restarted, and the rear trunk lock rattles (I think)....

Anyways.. How ya'll been doing? What I miss?

welcome back

DUDE ! ! ! ! ! We [s]hoped[/s] thought you were DEAD....

How's it going dude.... you spent 3k on the 406... man thats another 406 like a turbo exec or SRi with a gash interior !

Anyways glad to see your back, you loyal so and so you!

[MaDc0w]

LOL

I can't even find turbo'd pugs here...

The car looks so terrible though. Hood is all fuxed up front bumper is still busted and the part that goes along the front left light took a hit.. The rear bumper could use a sanding and repaint too.

I replaced the spark plugs and did a fresh oil change last week too. When it dies at traffic lights drives me nuts..


Besides that it purrrrrs like a pug should

Er lebt noch!
Boh eh! warst du aber lange weg! Gut dich mal wieder zusehen!

For the benefit of the unedumacated, a translation:

He lives!
Jees, you were gone long time, good to see you again

When it dies at traffic lights drives me nuts

Hey, with your car being off the road a while I guess the wild animal population has gone through the roof in your area

Get some bull bars fitted and start mashing up them animals again, it was only you who kept their numbers down!!!

[niz406]

Niz told me that too once (yea i'm hardheaded)

Cost point? DIY easy or mechanic?

[jameslxdt]

new from peugeot there about £70, but a local motor factors should stock them for about £30 i reckon, its easy to change, just 2 screws and then you need to synchronise the new one

[MaDc0w]

Sounds easy enough. Except that sync thing... Hows that done?

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy need a new servo pump!
Mine is empty before I hit 10km and the motor is all nasty now...
And it sucks to steer right...steering left just makes a godawful sprocket wheel crunching noise...

[jameslxdt]

you mean the powersteering pump?
are you sure its not the oil cooler for the powersteering fluid, its far more common than the pump going, very rare to happen on a 406

[MaDc0w]

It's the pump... it's leaking.... and I just filled it with fluid 3 days ago and empty again..

[jameslxdt]

have a look under the front bumper right below the grille, there will be 3 rows of black plastic pipes these are the cooler pipes, they very often get smashed and leak, is the oil pissing out of the pump?
