406 LX Diesel

Have you had the fault codes read? If the engine diagnostic light is on there must be a reason. It's probably a loose connection judging by what you're saying, but it could be in a number of places. Isn't a year a bit long to be putting up with the problem?

get the ecu memory read and then come back here

Hi Malc We have been using it as a taxi and the driver said it had been ok starting for a few months,now its gone really bad,apart from first thing in the morning,when it starts firt pull and the diagnostic light goes out and he gets full power,I had a Rover with a similar problem,and as you say that was a loose conection, I fear this seems worse than that.

Your best bet is to get the codes read somewhere. Either a dealer if you can afford it or a local specialist and then you can either accept their advice or come back here and someone with more knowledge than me can tell you what they mean.

You need to pay your local Peugeot dealer to read the fault code - that's what the warning light is there for, to tell you there's a fault :)

Without knowing what the fault is, you aren't gonna be able to get it fixed.

I think he knows by now ;-)

Hopefully so :)
