2001 Peugeot 406 GTX review from UK and Ireland
"Quirky French diesel car that plays big saloon games with big saloons"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Emissions control ECU failed at about 58,000 miles - fixed under warranty from supplying dealer.
Throttle position sensor failed at 60,000 miles - fixed by independent specialist - paid for by dealer, and very very economic (£40)
General comments?
Peugeot's 2.2 litre 16 valve HDi diesel engine is a peach. It's so very very quiet and so very torquey and lively.
A cautious ECU remap has increased the performance from lively to plain FAST.
It's quiet, quick and comfortable.
