Bought Car used with 35K miles. In three weeks Ignition Coil #3 went out. Discovered that 2 years to the week that all 6 coils were replaced with around 25K miles. Just had #6 Coil go this week at 37K miles. Consistent Issue on Coils going and Labor is huge to repair while parts are ~£20.
Car drives well otherwise, but afraid to drive outside of home area as it can die at any time.
Didn´t you check the condition of the car before buying?
Coil packs on the upgraded 210bhp vvt engine do eventually wear and when one goes, its best to replace all. The previous engine didn't suffer this problem. There is no need to get a garage to do this. Buy the coil packs and replace them yourself. For info and a guide check out www.peugeot406coupe.com. It's a bible for coupe owners. I'm on my second coupe and it hasn't let me down once. Brilliant car with engines that will go to the moon and back. Don't be deterred by something as simple as coil packs.
