Car TalkRe: Can Peugeot 406 Ew10 Engine Work On 406 V6 Phase 2gearbox? by Ikenna351(m): 7:04pm On Sep 24, 2017
franklin93:
Ikenna, I am really happy I met you as planned. Before now, I thought my vehicle won't work as several mechanics condemned my ECU and made me frustrated. You have successfully restored my electrical wiring and factory cooling setting & now my vehicle runs smoothly, no electrical issues anymore, no check engine lights & most interestingly, my ECU is very alive. I would have wasted money to buy a new ECU & yet the problem would have remained there. Before now I ws frustrated to the point that I considered a conversion from V6 to ew10 but now you hv given me a reason to be happy with my car once again.

I am very grateful.
I appreciate your appreciation. However, you did it, not me, literally. You made a choice to go for what you wanted, not what majority in this thread wanted you to do. And you got what you wanted, "Your Happiness!". I was only part of the manifestation that made your want a reality. More like a co-creator in those hours with your lion.

As for the 2nd Peugeot 406 V6 Auto you met when you came yesterday, I have resurrected the lion as well, irrespective of the mess they did on the engine wires which you saw as well. Funny enough, the owner intended to do same thing you were considering "Converting it to EW10J4". I called him this evening to come and pick his lion that has started running and most importantly, as designed. But he couldn't me, until I had to start the lion while he was listening through phone. He had to come with 2 friends of his to celebrate before picking the lion. They just left some minutes ago.

As you experienced yesterday, if people would leave the factory wiring connections and stop butchering, cutting and joining wires here and there, none of these lions would make them unhappy. But then, majority of educated/literate Nigerians behave like they still leave in caves. The problem is not the local mechanics and the auto electricians, but these educated car owners. You don't need to be a Peugeot specialist to know that these modern Lions, including other brand of vehicle, are electronically controlled, yet they "allow" people to mess up the car wires and expect the ECUs to still function as designed. At least, they all have smartphones (even if they don't have desktops/laptops) to know how they behave when you mishandle them, electrically. Even if they don't know what ECU is, they know what "Brainbox is, its function and what it could do when you abuse any connection to it".

Anyway, what to take away from this experience is always make your decisions from your wants and desires, not from other peoples opinion or band wagon. For 98% of the time, other people have no idea what they want for themselves or have any personal experience with the subject. They are just like zombies with no mind of their own except what others think, say or want for them. No balls.

Thanks Ikenna, the engine of the vehicle isn't bad. I am having electrical issues that's why & it seem unidentifiable. How do I reach u for assistance?

A client is bringing in his Peugeot 406 V6 auto (D9) today which his engine wiring harness has been butchered as well. Will use this weekend to resurrect the Lion. Hopefully yours too, if you bring in yours. Note the diagnosis and possibly repairs won't be for free.

I have enjoyed mine for over 4 years and still doing and find it difficult to understand why others don't. Just stop tampering with factory wirings, if you are using modern Peugeots.

franklin93:
Hello guys, pls I need help. I want to convert my peugeot 406 v6 phase 2, manual transmission to ew10 and I was told I need to buy a couple of things like new ew10 engine, driving shaft, gearbox, engine wire, dashboard wire, half exhaust and complete brain box. My reason for conversion is because my body is almost new and I don't want to sell it.

On the other hand, I was told that since some people replace their ew12 engine with ew10 on same gearbox that I might not need a new gearbox since v6 & ew12 uses same gearbox. However, I am not sure and I just want to hear from your guys if you know how true it could be so I can save some money. I will appreciate your replies pls.
I know words we speak don't always express fully what we mean. They only give an idea of what we mean, in most cases, not even close. When you said you want to convert the V6 D9 stick to EW10 stick because the body is still almost new, it doesn't mean anything to me because that's doesn't sound like a reason to downgrade a car. Is the body too new not to deserve a V6 engine in it? Or is something wrong with the engine, gearbox, Electricals, maintenance or driving experience that made you considered the conversion?

ES9J4S (V6) and EW12J4 manual gearboxes are not the same and won't match. The former is 3.0 liter, while latter is 2.2 liter. It's not just the gearbox, the both bellhousings are different. I wonder the type of mechanic telling you they are the same. Is he the one to do the conversion, when he seems to lack basic knowledge of both engines and their systems?

What is so wrong about that engine that you are willing to spend about 500k to do that conversion or downgrade? What do Nigerian mechanics see in this EW10J4 that they cannot develop their themselves beyond that engine? Is it not the same V6 engine that took me to Kaduna and back to Abuja last weekend and I spent less than 2 hours on each journey? Even with the crazy speed I did in the trip, yet I didn't add or top fuel after departure till I came back to Abuja and still have about 20 litres of fuel remaining, of a tank of 70 litres for the 2-day trip. Do you consider that a high fuel consumption?

Let me put it a simple way for you to understand. If you cant maintain ES9J4S, you cannot maintain EW10J4. So, you may as well as walk away on time and switch to other brands of cars or older Peugeots with carburettors. For EW10J4 will deal with you same way ES9 engine would, if you abuse it. For I don't see a fault with that V6 engine that cannot be fixed. 98% of the time I have diagnosed people's Lions with that engine, the causes were abuse on engine electrics and the cooling system. Nigerians can't just do without butchering anything that looks like wire in engine bay.

Car TalkRe: Problems With My 406 HELP by Ikenna351(m):
Optimusshield:
My 406 car goes of and on when I put on my ac.
It wasn't so before now until I had a bad radiator cover and my car overheated. Thinking it was my fan (which works automatically by the way) the so called mechanic (who happens to 'specialize in peugeot and Toyota) connected my fan to work manually instead of automatically. I don't like the sound and I took it else where and was told it was the radiator cover. It was changed and my car stopped overheating.
However, when I put on my ac my engine starts some really wired things. It goes on and off, the brakes misbehave and even my Guage starts reading falsely.

If I don't put on AC it works very well... Wht could be the cus pleasehuh

AND I NEED A GOOD PEUGEOT MECHANIC RECOMMENDED PLEASE... I'M TIRED OF THIS TRIAL AND ERROR Guys (I'm in Abuja)
THANX
It's easy to pass blames to mechanics or auto electricians for damaging or abusing cars, but owners seem to exonerate themselves when they stood there, watching the abuse been done on their cars, most cases, in their presence. You can't tell me you felt comfortable when he was cutting, butchering and bypassing the radiator fan factory connection, only to complain later.

If your Peugeot 406 is the model with VAN-bus or CAN-bus, note that the Engine ECU controls the radiator fan. So any wrong connection in that fan relay chamber can crash the ECU or fry it instantly.

You can bring the Lion to me, since you are in Abuja, to reverse the connection back to factory for a fee, hopefully it has not harmed the ECU already.

Words don't teach. Only life experience does. But if you really love your Lion, words would be enough, for it may cost you dearly to experience before learning. Stop abusing your Peugeots.

It's 2000 production. Immediately I read your opening post, I knew the VIN was incorrect and knew the 6th digit was the incorrect digit on that VIN and I knew the correct digit/alphabet (which is "L" instead of "N" ) and I knew it was 1.8 liter engine, not 2.0 you claimed.

Hello Sir. Thanks for the free quality advice you dish out here.

I drive a 206. I was taking my son to school when it suddenly stopped on the way. rewire came and said a wire burnt and he fixed it. same thing kept reoccurring I. e driving and suddenly going off. and rewire kept fixing.

one day, my hubby took it to church and same problem came up. a mechanic nearby fixed a wire for him and the car started. hubby drove a few seconds and the next thing, the car was in flames. he quickly put it out with water and detergent and same rewire was called who drove the car down to his workshop and left it there overnight to start work on Monday.

Now, it's close to 2 weeks now and no show. car has refused to start at all, it just kicks but doesn't start. he's told us to buy another BSI as the one in the car melted with the fire.

what's your opinion please? sorry if I didn't explain well, I really don't know all these technical terms to use

ps: we contacted a mechanic in abj who said the bsi goes for 17k. planning on sending money to him tomorrow but I'll love to have your opinion. I stay in akure by the way.
thanks!!!

Ikenna351
I don't even know where to start. I mean with my questions.

Is the car originally Right Hand Drive converted to Left Hand Drive?

For a BSI unit to go up in flames and melted is an indication of a terrible wrong connection or severe abuse of factory wiring connections. So, has the abuse been diagnosed & reversed before considering buying or swapping in another BSI kit? What makes the electrician think the next BSI unit you will put is covered in Blood of Jesus if the cause is still there?

You want my advice? Find out why the car nearly burnt to ashes before the discussion of buying another BSI kit even begins. BSI unit is a module; it's an ECU, just like a desktop CPU or Laptop. What do you think will happen to a computer if you supplied it with 500 volts?

Hello,

Please I need an alternative to the Esso atf for peugeot 807.

I hear it should be synthetic.

Urgent please as I have currently replacing th gearbox.

It's a 3.o v6 with the al-4 box

Thank you
I recalled I posted in this thread that any Peugeot owner that comes to this thread to learn right oil for his engine will end up wrecking his engine. As if that's is not enough, you want to wreck your gearbox as well.

I also don't know where you got the information that your gearbox model is AL4. I posted few days ago about this. Just because you can get free information online doesn't mean they are all accurate, correct, true or fact. AL4 has no business with any Peugeot 807 with V6 engine.

Check my profile. I created a topic on the recommended ATF for your transmission. The ATF can picture is there. I used to sell it. It's still available in Nigeria. Look for it or use whatever oil they suggested for you here. You have that choice. However, don't blame anyone or Peugeot for what your choice manifested for you. For at the end, you are the one that may or not have another failed transmission.

Irrespective of the demand or sale, It's meant to be discontinued for a better successor, the successor might share the same chassis and something related to the 406 but with better styling and updated interiors.
That's not an excuse o my oga.
Even the Accord and Camry with better sales far higher than the 406 , Gets new design and update .
Tho the successor might share the same motor with the old , but will have a different styling and functions with updated transmission and better Mpg
Peugeot 504 continued selling alongside with Peugeot 505 in Nigeria, when the 505 was introduced in Nigeria market. The sale of the 504 continued even when 505 production stopped in Nigeria.

Business decisions are made around profits. When a particular model continued to bring more profits, you don't cut off that profit unless you are running a charitable organisation.

It's called demand and supply. The demand for the 504 was so high even after introducing the successor, 505, that they made business decision to continue the production and sales = profits. Car models are discontinued or replaced completely, mostly because of drop in sales or demand.

The sale of the newer model, 505, didn't stopped those that preferred the older 504 design to still ask or demand for it, which didnt affect the sales of 505, considering how massively 505 sold in Nigeria as well. The least Peugeot could do was to facelift the 504, but the design remained the same, 1968 design.

I think I'm OK so far its confirmed not to be 1999 or 2000
Just because internet provides free information doesn't make all the information on internet accurate, fact, correct or truth that will serve you.

I don't necessarily need to see a Peugeot VIN to know the production year. I can easily tell by mere looking at the Lion.

First, your VIN appears incorrect. Check & confirm the first 6 digit on that VIN.

Secondary, the engine bay indicates the lion is RHD converted to LHD (UK used). Peugeot 406 production stopped in 2004 in Europe and UK is in Europe.

Thirdly, no Peugeot 406 beyond 2001 European production had XU I could see in that engine bay.

That 406 was likely produced in 1999 or early 2000, at most 2001.

Check the VIN you posted with exact VIN engraved on the Lion and do yourself a favour, "Don't believe everything you see or read online".

The design, architecture and everything about that car is dated for a 2008 ride
Peugeot 504 was a 1968 design but the sale and production continued up till early 2000 & beyond in some countries, for more than 2 decades, even though he was succeeded by other models during the sales.

Peugeot 406 was a 1995 design, but sale & production continued beyond a decade, even when he was replaced with another model. And do so was Peugeot 205.


What determines how long a car design stays in production is the appreciation, love and demand for the design from people or particular set of people with certain interests or wants.

Car TalkRe: Please Stay Off Tokunbo Tyres At All Cost! I Drove 130mph Or 209km/h... by Ikenna351(m):
A man's belief system is what determines what he does, how he reacts or what he expects. To use excuse of bad economy to deny oneself self-love, comes from limited beliefs one holds, even if he doesn't know about it. Same limited belief systems in most men is why we now have more SIMPs, Manginas and White Nights, ever in world history.

How much does these genuine tyre brands really cost, if someone really love himself that much? Most modern men now find it wrong to spend some money on themselves. But they would rather spend everything they got on their women or children because "that's the right thing to do". However, you don't think you deserve to be in good shape and alive to keep providing for them, if that's what you really want or your desire? What's wrong in spending some or part of that your money on tyres that guarantee your own safety, on a very large extent? Again, this has nothing to do with economy. It's all about beliefs. Because you would be surprised that you could blow that same amount of money that would have gotten you the brand new genuine tyre brands on things you really don't even need, the next week or weeks to come. That's why poor people spend more money than rich people, buying things they don't need.

Not all Chinese tyres are bad. I replaced 4 tyres on one of my lions with a Chinese brand, because I couldn't find the factory size in Michelin (My tyre brand) or any other quality brand (195/60 R15). And since tokunbo tyres was not an option to me, including going out of the car tyre specifications/size, I decided to go for the best new brand I could find the size (path of least resistance), recommended to me by my Michelin tyre dealer. It's over a year now, I think, and I have been driving the lion very hard, doing crazy fun speed with it and they are still in good shapes.

I know every man won't be as speed freak or fun driving maniac like me. So buying a tyre for speed or fun may not interest you. But there are things I don't consider buying as used parts when it comes to cars. Tyre is one of them. For me, I would rather have a performance car I can afford to drive 2 days in a week and be happy the whole week, than have a car I can afford to drive the 7 days of the week but got depressed because of how boring the car is. Nothing is more important than my happiness to me and if it's mean spending a little more on my cars i love to keep the happiness, then it's done.

You didn't buy a new car, probably a 10 year old car or more that have been used or driven for years by more than one owner before he became yours. So I don't see a big deal having a failed part in such a car or symptoms indicating a malfunctioning component. So, it's already an old car, not a new one. Just like every used car owner does, simply diagnose the lion and have the issue resolved.

As for those busy with defining who they think I am to others to feel good about themselves, let me help you out, for free.

I am very prideful, very proud and very selfish being, you probably haven't come across. I don't give a rip about anyone's opinion, perspective or definition of me. I don't do Religion, so peoples Religious principles are meaningless to me. I am not people pleaser or sucker, neither am I a female apologist. I don't conform to society expectations or norms.

The only thing that matters to me is my happiness and I live the hell however I want to be happy. So, if you are expecting me to do, behave or say what makes you happy, then you will likely be unhappy for the rest of your life if you hang around me with that limited want or belief. I would rather love someone or people from a distance than suck up to them, just to be close,living someone else life.

Right now, I am sitting on one of my Lions boot, chewing some suya with a bottle of Guinness stout, appreciating the reason for coming to this Earth in this physical time. I am that good at what I do: Enjoying life!

I am Ikenna. I am Lion King. I am Ikenna351. And I am good with Peugeots and flow effortlessly on them. So, you have two choices: Dislike me or love me.

If changing the steppermotor doesnt fix it, theres this small sensor opposite the radiator fan, its a bit low, dat'll most likely be the problem.
The 2 radiator fans on D8 face the front grill, which is the opposite of the fans. However, there is no sensor in that chamber in D8 that determines how engine runs or stalls, unless a wrong connection to the fans affecting the Alternator or something similar.

Car TalkRe: The DS 7 SUV Emmanuel Macron, The French President Used For His Inauguration by Ikenna351(m): 11:38am On May 16, 2017
autojosh:
The American president traditionally rides in a Cadillac or Lincoln limousine. In most other countries, they tend to use German or British cars, but chauffeuring their new president to his inauguration in either would be unthinkable for the French – who have their own automotive industry, merci beaucoup.

So what to do when most Renaults, Peugeots, and Citroëns are too low-rent for the purpose, and a Bugatti would be too silly and impractical (even for the French)? Here's your answer.

For the inauguration of President Emmanuel Macron, PSA created this special DS 7 Crossback – based on the flagship model in the French automaker's premium lineup, but upgraded for the purpose
.

The Presidential DS 7 is done up in a special ink-blue paint, with a black leather interior, official state insignia and flags, and gold details on the wheels and in the cabin. Most unique about this particular DS 7, though, is the roof: the state limousine has a convertible top to transform the crossover into a parade car so that the gathered masses on the Champs-Elysées can catch a glimpse of their new head of state – even in the rain.

https://autojosh.com/ds-7/
You probably didn't know you contradicted your position on your above bold statements.

DS brand is owned by Peugeot (PSA). In other words, DS is Peugeot, same way Toyota owns Lexus (Lexus is Toyota).

The DS 7 is same platform with Peugeot 3008. And same Peugeot 3008 won the 2017 European Car of the Year, even with all other car brands all over the world used in Europe that aimed for that position. Yet you considered Peugeot as "too low-rent" (in your words)? And still wondered why the President chose the DS 7 (Peugeot 3008)?

Maybe you don't know that Peugeot (PSA) currently owns more than 4 brands: Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel, Vauxhall, etc.

Being a car journalist or blogger is an interesting career. But you have to choose how to go about it: To be sectional or worldwide. If you choose worldwide, then don't limit your knowledge in Auto industry in North America. There are lot good things also going on in automobile industry outside Canada and USA, if you choose to know them.

Please, is there any objective reason why 406 would be preferred over 407?
Don't limit your life on people opinions. 406 is not better than 508, yet others are telling you to remain stuck in 406. 406 remains one of the best cars Peugeot ever produced. It's just one of the best. There are lots of good lions after 406.

I bought my peugeot 406 98 model not long ago and I already have issues with it which I hope you can be of help to me. there is this particular "K" symbol that appears on the dashboard each time I start the engine which prevents the vehicle from accelerating until it disappears. I really feel bad because I cannot move each time start the engine until few minutes later. pls. do help me out.

Engine very reliable, transmission is 50/50 chances of getting a reliable functional 1 is hard.

Next what is the value of a used peugeot 406?

What is the value of the engine and transmission (in the range of 500k)

Does it make any sense to invest that much in a vehicle?
Clean Nigerian used Peugeot 406 (D9) cost about 1.5m - 1.9m. A clean tokunbo cost about 2.5m.

Note that I am not trying to discourage you from mission to discourage people from buying and using Lions. Just to let you know that my clients list increasing because of people like you spewing negativity on Peugeot cars, which only influence those who live by other people choices. But those who know what they want, irrespective other peoples opinion about it come to me, where I shower them with positive aspects of Peugeot cars and it becomes their individual experiences. Because the most powerful law of the Universe, whatever you give your attention to, focus on, talk about all the time or think all the time, YOU MUST EXPERIENCE! What you give attention to is your truth, your belief (whether fear based or not) and your reality.

What is really wrong with your transmission?. While the AL4 gear box may not really be super,its usual shortcoming is the gear change solenoids.Have your Lion scanned.The solenoid is actually an electrical component embedded in the gear box. You can order from UK or France if that is the issue. Truth is ,the manual tyranny is more reliable

AutosRe: O.e.m/original Peugeot Parts For Sale by Ikenna351(op):
Find below a Testimony from a Lion Owner that bought an O.E.M Thermostat from me for his Lion recently:



"........ I changed the thermostat myself yesterday, and guess what... All the thermostats I had were not working that's why temp gauge was dropping.... The car has changed completely from better MPG to smoother and softer drive.
Did 460 km with 32liters, thank you so much IK.
I did change the seals on the nozzles too, but it was the thermostat that changed everything..... Now I know why you emphasize on getting the cooling system right....."
