Ikenna351: For Peugeot owners in Abuja, I have a good news for you guys.

Not long ago, a good friend of mine in Bida, a lecturer actually, asked me to come down to Bida and educate a small community of Peugeot owners in Bida DIY tips, preventative maintenance, etc, to help them understand their Lions better and keep them on the road as long as it takes without dramas they face each time they visit auto mechanics and electricians. My friend was willing to organize the meet, if I could say yes. Of course, I said yes, but have not fixed the date. Probably, will travel to Bida for it when I start my annual leave.

It got me thinking that we could actually start off such meet in Abuja. Seeked opinion from some Peugeot owners in Abuja and they all liked the idea.

Friends of mine have promised to secure a place in town for it. I have picked Saturday morning for it, I mean, every Saturday morning, 9-11 am or so. We are still working on it. As soon as the venue/hall is secured, will let you guys know. We may even start the meet next week Saturday.

We are going to educate ourselves what and how it takes to keep our Lions in good shape, with powerpoint presentations and demonstration. Also, some basic troubleshooting tips on Peugeot cars and how not to introduce nightmares for ourselves in our Lions. How to know when what is faulty without use of diagnostic tool, especially when stranded on a journey. Its going to be interactive.

I have spoken with a Peugeot Automatic transmission Specialist who operates in Markudi, Abuja and environs. He is willing to come and educate us on how to maintain Peugeot Auto transmission and what ATF available in Nigeria to use for these transmissions like AL4, ZF trans & AM6. With time we will invite other specialists in Peugeots to come and educate and share their knowledge with us. GAZZUZZ take note. Hope you won't turn down our invitation? We need to tap that knowledge of yours in Peugeot a little. Lol!

By the way, at the end of every meet, there will be a free scan for everyone interested for FREE, with PP2000. So, you can always use every Saturday to check the health of your Lion.

Anyway, will give you guys feedback by Sunday, as soon as we conclude on the venue with my friends that want to secure it for us. If it works out, then it will start next Saturday, by the Grace of God.

True talk.

Ikenna351:

Don't worry. I believe it will spread beyond Abuja. That's my dream and I strongly believe it will be fulfilled, by the Grace of God.

Ikenna351:



The way I see it, it will soon spread to other parts of the country.

Ikenna351:

Longtime.

I don't do BBM, rather, WhatsApp. Save my phone number (08052811236) and send me a message via the WhatsApp, for us to discuss about the PP2000.

By the way, how far with your Lion?

Ikenna

wellscon: Wow.Great jobs Ikenna is doing here. I am a lion owner and didnt know this forum exists on NL.

Now to my question...My Lion is 307 which suddenly developed sole electrical issues.It shows 'battery charging or electrical supply faulty' and after like 10mins drive the car stopped and wouldn't start again.My electrician replaced the alternator.A few days later the same problem happened and LASTMA had to tow at their regular fee(you know what I mean).My electrician suggested we change the alternator belt which we did.The car worked nornally for about 5 days and right now the problem has resurfaced and car wont even start.

My battery was brought brand new in January so I am not really suspecting the battery though I am not completely ruling the battery out.

I'd like to have all the necessary assistance from fellow lion owners on this forum on what to do on this issue.

Thanks in advance

Sphazze: Good morning Sir Ikenna, you are really doing a great work here. Please are there 2003 and 2004 peugeot 406 sedan that come with V6 engines?

Ikenna351:

A lady? Hmm! A pre-facelift 206 with 1.4 L engine will be ok for her, since she is after fuel economy and not some 007 car. Get her a 206 with TU3J4 (16v) engine. At least, the 16v will give better fuel economy than the TU3JP 8v engine, which is also a 1.4 L engine. Difference is that one is 16v while the other is 8v. But whichever you find will be ok.

She should stay away from 206 GTI. They all have EW10, 2.0 L engine , which 307, 406, 407 & 408 have too. Its not a thristy engine, but will consume more than the TU3J4. 206 GTI is meant for guys who want to catch fun, not minding the fuel economy.

Though, we have 206 with 1.6 Litre engines (TU5JP -8v & TU5JP4 -16v). The 1.6 J4 engine wont be that bad either for a lady, if you find one.

As for 206 with 1.0 L & 1.1 L engine, i wouldnt go there, especially the 1.1 L engine (60hp). She wont enjoy the car if it has A/C. Will be too slugish to pull the car with A/C on. I doubt if 206 with 1.1 L engine will have A/C sef. But i think the 1.0 L engine is turbocharged (not sure).

So, TU3J4 or TU3JP is ok for a lady, in my own opinion.

Please, I dont think you would want her to call tomorrow and tell you got her a nightmare when auto trans start dealing with her. From the reviews, auto trans in 206 isnt encouraging, just like the 406. I would suggest she settle for manual trans. I don talk my own.

Meanwhile, we have house members that drive 206, i think they are in a better position to tell you all need to know about 206. I have heard about the boot refusing to open sometimes. They can explain better. Hey! Aqva, your input is needed in this matter please.

But if she can afford it, let her go for the facelifted, 206+ (2009+ model). The car looks beautiful. I meqn, very beautiful. The pre-facelift 206 is not even close to her beauty. You cant even tell the diference between the 206+ and 207.

Ikenna351:

As for securing the venue, its positive so far. From the look of things, it will likely start next week Saturday. We will know by Sunday, next 2 days.

Keep you guys posted.

Ikenna

Ikenna351:

Thank God, the venue is now secured.

Still on preparation. Hope I finish before Friday evening so that we can start this coming Saturday morning.

By the way, venue is Adisa Plaza, Gudu, Abuja.

oladipoolaitan: Pls, ikena, I have been following ur update and thread on NL, now m planning to buy peugeot 406, but don't really know which model and year should I settle for between 2001-2003 then don't know if I can settle for EW10 or 12, engine type ,pls, I need one that's quit reliable and has fuel economy and that can be easily maintain at my level. Ur considerable advise will be appreciated, pls, u can get back to me olapremier@gmail.com or 08030520097 will be waiting for ur response.

Ikenna351:

So sad to announce that we won't be able to start the meet this Saturday. I thought I have concluded on the venue, but a new development today has changed all that.

So, I am hunting for another venue in town, at least, that I can afford. Will keep you guys updated.

melya: Good morning oga ikenna, please advise me, my car 406 ew10 engine knocked down and planned to get another engine which i estimated to cost me up to 170k cos i hv to get it complete with gear box, now my mechanic said he can overhaul it at the cost of 60k, cos I'm not having the 170k for now, so what do u advise me to do here? Some people said 406 ew10 doesn't good if overhauld, so I'm asking you as an engineer sir what can i do, thanks for your support and God bless you

Ikenna351:

I have no science background. So I don't have engineer attached to my name.

Rebuilding a failed engine is a better option. You can't compare it to a used one: Tokunbo or Nigerian used. Rebuilt one will serve like new one.

On the other hand, 70k can only rebuild an EW10 engine with sub standard parts. Genuine or OEM EW10 piston kit cost about 80k. Not to mention the engine gasket kit. We don't even know the state of the cylinder head, intake & exhaust valves, camshafts, con rods, crankshafts, engine block, injection system sensors/components, etc. Do you know how much each cost, if you are to replace any when engine is opened?

Used or Tokunbo engine is a cheaper option, in summary.
Thanks a lot, quite appreciated, meanwhile piston and cylinder head and the block are all good, all he needs is metal and main bearings and some other parts, anyway thanks once again I'll ask him to do it then try another engine by end of this year
