Engine Management System - The car performed very poorly from new and often stalled on pulling away. This was traced to a wrongly programmed engine management system, which had to be replaced.
Replacement Engine - After going through flooded road (only a few inches deep) water was sucked into the engine which had to be replaced at my cost. The dealer reported that several engines are replaced each year, because the air intake is so low.
CD Radio has a mind of its own, often refusing to turn off, even after the ignition key is removed. The RDS radio often displays the wrong channel and the remote control on the steering column gave up a long time ago.
Ride, comfort and handling are almost perfect, especially for a car of this price and class.
This model has climate control which works extremely well.
Even compared with more modern cars the quietness of the passenger compartment is remarkable.
All the positive points are let down by the poor performance and fuel consumption.
I also experienced the same problem with turning the radio off, or rather I couldn't. The cause is a faulty diode which I was informed by my local dealer was subject to a recall several months earlier. Peugeot are aware of the problem & will replace it free of charge.
Has anybody encountered problems with the blinker lever of the Peugeot 406 2002 model? such problems as refusal to return to its neutral position after turning, even though the mechanism is not broken or damaged, or no possibility to signal to the right when the wheel is in straight position (but it works to the left)? sometimes, when turning to the left, the right signal blinks, although the lever was untouched. the dealer replaced it 9 times already, until today, but the problem persist!
Anyone can tell why the Engine auto-diagnostic warning light stays on while the Engine is running on the Peugeot 406.
