Hi all, this is my first post in this. I've been browsing this group for the last 3 months getting as much info on the 406 Coupe as possible and I am now the proud owner of one ;)
i have a 2.0 SE version (2000) with everything except Sat Nav and because I got it from a Pug dealer I have 3 months warranty, so I would like to get everything sorted before this runs out. At the moment these are the problems I have.
I would be greatly appriceiated if you could have a look at the problems and let me know what might cause it or any other info you can. Here goes ...
- When I turn the car on, i get "Brake fluid level low" and the handbrake light flashes (faulty switch maybe?). There is plenty of fluid in the reserve. Also, it takes about 7 clicks until the handbrake is fully engaged (shouldn't it be 3-4)?
- When I press the accelerator pedal all the way down there's a rattling sound coming out of the engine.
- The car is 'lazy' in 2nd and 3rd under 2000rpm. Is this normal?
- Cruise control doesnt work at all (I've folowed it to the book, but just in case: get to speed, press button on, then rapidly push up on the stalk)
- Intermittent mode on windscreen wiper doesnt work (rain sensor failiure?)
- Rattling from passenger side air vent (summat stuck in it?)
Apart from that, the car's beautiful and perfect. I knew that there would be a few problems with it being a 2nd hand car and just want everything sorted before my warranty runs out.
Thanks very much fo your help.
