Car Talk › Re: Peugeot 406 AC Vs Others by DUNKA(m): 5:10am On Apr 10, 2025 |
Ikenna351: At 25 years old, the only repair done on the AC was the replacement of weak seals on the compressor to stop gas leak, about 7 years ago. The compressor is almost always running with the engine on and I have never set the blower beyond 1.5 speed, nor reduce temperature beyond 16°C, no matter how hot weather is. I don't use the recycle button, yet I struggle not to freeze inside the car always.
Wished Peugeot had made newer Peugeot ACs to be as good as the 406 AC. Wished other car brands could learn from Peugeot on what they did on 406. Almost every other non Peugeot car in Nigeria now buys Peugeot 406 AC Compressors to convert into theirs, with hope to experience indestructible dependable Moscow chilling Peugeot 406 AC, no matter how brief the conversion last, with other side effects that do come with some of the conversions.
Peugeot 406 is a classic waiting to happen, if he is not already is.

Car Talk › Re: Part 4: The Untold Story Of My Peugeot 505 V6 by DUNKA(m): 3:21am On Feb 21, 2025 |
Ikenna351: The Catholic Family House of Corps Members at Nyanya Abuja was kind to accommodate me after I left the orientation camp, but the mission group controlled life was something I walked away from in the past and was frustrated when I found myself in similar situation in that compound. But most importantly, living there became a big distraction to the most important goal I had coming to Abuja, as time went on. Renting a decent house to stay in Abuja was not an option, considering the meagre monthly allowance from NYSC back in those days. A solution presented itself when I gathered that the then Federal Ministry of Commerce and Industry where I was serving was paying their corpers once in every 4 to 6 months. To my fellow corpers serving at the ministry, it was wickedness. To me, it was a blessing. So as soon as the money was paid after the 5th month or so, I quickly cashed it and rented a room in a rural community called Angwan-dadi, off Nyanya Abuja, deep into a mountain bush, surrounded by big huge rocks. I paid about N24,000 for the 1 year rent, and, it was a Mud house. No kitchen, no toilet. The rest of the mountain was the toilet. And of course, no electricity. In spite of the living condition, I was happier, had peace and gave me the opportunity I needed to re-focus on the goal which I had no income or idea at the time on how to accomplish. And the goal was my dream car: Peugeot 505 V6.
Every week night, I would climb up to my mud house late in the night and lie on the floor (on spread bedsheet) as I searched and read reviews on the 505 V6 on my then Nokia 6630, especially the ones I was able to save before I got home due to lack of GSM or internet reception at the Angwan-dadi, at least at the time. I also had pages of reviews and debates on 505 V6 & 505 GTi I printed visiting cyber cafés, which I kept in the room and re-read with touch light most nights, over and over. Some were scary, some were not. The positive ones kept me going. Nothing else truly mattered at that time but those 505 V6 images, articles, reviews and posts on the phone and those printed papers. But the cost of living in a society and having such dream, goal, desire or choice got to me about 2 or 3 months living in that condition. I walked into an office at the Federal ministry of commerce and industry (block H, Commerce section) and a fellow male corper who I was serving with at the time at the ministry was in that office (Account unit, to be specific). He suddenly changed the subject of whatever they were discussing before I walked in and beckoned on everyone in the room to listen to what he had to say. He narrated how he visited the remotest part of FCT the previous weekend and saw me as I walked into a mud house which he believed must be where I was living. He busted out laughing and saying I was a disgrace to the family I came from to live in such environment, and that he would rather redeploy to another state than live in that environment just to serve or live in Abuja. I wasn't just embarrassed but didn't know how to react. I couldn't form any word and so I remained mute. There was also a girl in that office (Female corper), so I guessed he pulled another man down to impress a girl, since young men think with their penis. Again, I didn't know how to handle that situation, but one thing you don't forget undergoing formation in seminary institution is de-escalation. I followed my training and walked away, to let them have their laugh (yes, he won). I recalled when I got back to the mud house that night, I pulled one of the printed images of 505 and stared at it for about 30 minutes. Not questioning the choice I made, but to reassure myself that what I was looking at was worth the odds I experienced earlier in the day. That night, that image boosted my morale to the point that I handled the next high cost of living in that environment with ease when it hit me few days later, and another about 2 months later. There was a Big bag I kept in one corner of the room (Ghana-Most-Go Bag). After that night, I started having weird or unexplained feelings to lift that bag up. I wouldn't understand why I was having that thought, so I didn't act on it and about 4 days or so passed and the thought or feelings kept coming back. So, the next Saturday, I went and pulled the bag up from the ground and there under the bag was a snake. To cut the story short, I ended up killing the snake about 2 minutes later in that room. I didn't need to wonder where or how the snake got into the room. It was a Mud house anyway. The interesting thing was I was living with that snake in that room for however long before I acted on that message I was ignoring. About a month or 2 later, that thought or feeling came back again on that same bag on that same spot. This time, I acted on it immediately and again, found another snake under the bag as soon as the bag was up. That was my journey with Peugeot 505 V6 i never shared to anyone till now, not even to the family.
One teaching I didn't accept while in the Seminary was the virtues of forgive and forget, because it contradicted observable human nature. Sure, you can forgive, which is not for the sake of the person that wronged you, but for the sake of you (relieved mind always healthier than the vindictive one). However, memory is part of human nature which tends to be triggered, revived or brought back to surface when having certain experiences. I understand the "Out of Sight - Out of Mind" can subdue certain memories, but once in sight again, that Christian virtue goes out of the window. Fast forward 6 years later, I drove into a park in Abuja. As I was walking away from my car, a man walked towards me. Even though he looked thinner, I could recognise him. He was the corper that made mockery of me publicly for living in the mud house. He said he could see evidence of good living on me and would like to ask for my assistance incase I come across any job opportunity since he hasn't secured any meaningful job since we both finished our NYSC years back, he pleaded. While I took his phone number, I kept wondering within if he remembered what he did. That evening , I drove back home in one of my other cars I drove to work that day and went straight to where I packed my 505 V6 and stood there for some minutes, reminiscing the odds I went through, specifically the incidents that took place while living in the Angwan-dadi to have this car staring back at me. If you are a man, there are lessons no western formal education curriculum or religion will teach you except life itself. Even when the 505 V6 came, there were condemnations, mockery and insults from animals I share specie with call Humans concerning the car. But what is interesting is, some of them have gone or part ways with me since then, but the car is still here, remaining loyal, almost 2 decades since he materialises and came into my experience. Sometimes, I wished young men today had anyone to teach them about people's stupid opinions and their decision makings. But then, I would always remember that I was once in their age bracket and ignorant as well. If there is one thing you should take away from this, know that humans fickle. They are only loyal to their interests and emotions.
Peugeot 504 GL made me a Peugeot freak, but the 505 V6 boosted it and made me international. You can't visit Google and type Peugeot without seeing me popping out somewhere as you scroll down, depending on the prefix or suffix. From every indication, I am probably the only person that has a good running 505 V6 in a whole country called Nigeria. What's interesting is that mine isn't even the standard 505 V6, but the maniac version, specially made for only few markets (North America really lose on this one). One distinctive attitude a 505 V6 posses which modern German powerful RWD performance cars lack is the front and rear ends behaviour during the up and go hard acceleration, even though they are all RWD. The electronic aids have ruined some things that make driving certain cars unattractive to people that actually enjoy driving. The figures under the hood matters of course, but you can barely tell a difference driving a modern performance RWD from FWD, unlike the powerful RWD back in the era of cars like the 505 V6. The way the tail presses down to the ground and the front end pulls up, as you gear into action, listening to the music playing under the hood. Yes, the music. The whole of last week, I drove the 505 V6 and for the first time for almost 2 decades the car has been mine, I didn't switch the radio on, not even for a second, just to enjoy that V6 sound, which is usually more pronounced when you hold on a little longer on gear 3. I don't know why they don't make cars like this anymore. When men buy cars, they will proclaim they added another wife. When I look at my 505 V6, I acknowledge a best friend in my life. He doesn't nag. He just wants to have fun and we are both a matched energy. I have even gone to a point to modify the car injection wirings from factory to custom connections to sync with my breath. In other words, the car existence is tied to my breath, since no one can be able to keep the car running without me, at least, not with that engine which is what makes him to stand out. He is 39 years old, yet I have never had to top up engine oil before every oil change. I am not in any form of long term medication. HBP is a thing, but never came up or even expecting it, considering few general medical check ups I have done so far, sometimes, unwillingly, like the recent one. I understand male biology and nature which most men deny themselves. I am biologically mechanically and I chose no stupid opinion to talk me out of it, especially since I can afford to exercise that trait. Custom and tradition expects every Igbo man to have an Ikenga, even though the western religion has thwarted the meaning and purpose of it. Not every African tradition is tied to Paganism or other forms of African traditional religion. One purpose of Ikenga is to remind every Igbo man his successes, the struggles that led to achievements and encouragement to aim more. My 505 V6 Manual will always be a reminder of certain experiences and newer ones I would want to have, against all odds.
Ikenna Udeagwu (Lion King) disjointed and erratic story. Walahi your old age no go good. Peugeout cars can never replace family. The day you cannot drive yr 'babies' I wonder what will happen to you. When you can't take a shit by yourself I wonder if it is your 505 v6 car that will clean up after you. There is more to this life than Peugeout cars. If you don't get it then forget it |

Apart from a peugeot scanner or a high grade scanner you will not be able to scan your car 3. Peugeout is very very finicky 4. If your fan belt,water pump or related system fails your valves will be damaged and you may use a new engine depending on thee damage For your sanity dont be deceived by any egoistic and fragile minded peugeout fanatic who thinks people do not have a life only peugeout car and if you don't agree with him you are going to hellfire Don't take my word for it ask in the car forums here and make a decision.

Ikenna351: Insult, shame, and guilt were exactly what I received when I got my Peugeot 406 V6 Manual 11 years ago from most men, both online and offline. Today, 01/04/2024, some of them have crawled back, asking if I could sell mine or find any 406 as good as mine. Unfortunately for them, Peugeot 406 has become way out of their league, just like most oldest Wines have become to the majority of men. This evening on expressway, mine reminded me what 406 really is, which you would only understand, realised, and appreciate when you discard yours, like most past GL 504 users now have realised. I am the happiest man on Earth for not making same mistake. Classic cars are marked from inception by men wey sabi.
Lion-King Monk. nonsense peugeout that needs specialist care and scanner. Thanks but no thanks you think everyone needs a. Wack peugeout. Apart from 504 and 505 the modern peugeots are electrial and mechanical disasters. Avoid a modern peugeout to maintain your sanity |
