Hi, I 've read all topic about Peugeot 406, and I didn't find answer on my problem. So , I have got 406, 1998, 1.8 16v, engine LFX XU7JP4, 75000KM.



My problem: I am starting driving normaly, and then when change a gear from first to second my car hestitate and loosing a power for about 1-2 sec, and after that going normal, and them the same beatween 2'st and 3'th gear but smaller hestitate (engine rocks). I' ve read a lot of forum and didn't find people with the same problem. But I've met a guy with the same problem and I try his car, and everything was the same like in my car..... So I can't understand whay nobody is writting about this problem when it is often for this model.



There is no cod detect on my board, mechanical diagnostic tool didn't find any mistakes. Thay say that my clutch is OK.......



Do you have this problem? Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!



I have the same problem with mine. When I change gear from 1st to 2nd in a hill, I almost strangle the engine. I think all 1.8 powered 406's have this problem. Perhaps the enginge is to weak for the car?

Hy Lars It is not weak. The same problem is with 1.8 and 2.0 engine. 2.0 have

130-140 HP and if that isn't enough I do not what is. Did you try fix anything? X-MAN

I don't think there is anything to fix. The throttle response is sluggish below 1500 RPM. I have a colleague with same car. He is also complaining about almost nonexisting throttle response on low RPM.

If you think this problem is as common as you suggest, then certainly a Peugeot workshop will know about it and will be able to clear the problem for you.

OK, it can be, but I still must go on with explore the faulty. Are you first owner of your car? If you are, than you can tell me is your car have this behavier at the first day whan he came out from factory? X-MAN
