It's not about the year, its about the condition !
You can buy 1998 car that is in mint condition and ofc you can buy a car that is from 2003 that will be a real trash ...


Try to look for 1.4 petrol engine, doesn't matter if it will be 8 or 16 valves, 1.1 petrol is to weak for this car.

Remove the 406 front grille. You will see a box that houses 3 relays. Also, you will see 2 resistors by the side. The abuse is usually carried out in that relay box. You will have to open that box. If you can't reverse the factory bypass they did, you will need someone experience to do for you.

When the abuse is reverted, the fan should come on after about 30 mins of engine at idle (without AC). The speed one will speed for a minute or so and goes off. It will take it another 10-20 mins or more to spin again. You will observe how quiet your engine will become and how low your rpm will be, as low as 600 rpm (that is, if they have not abused the throttle stop adjustment on the throttle body).

Its at this stage that you can now observe and see if the temperature gauge will behave or not. It will be easy for you to now troubleshoot an overheating issue in this correct state, if at all it will still overheat.

Ikenna

Now comes the bleeding Peugeot method.

Please, if you don't bleed a lions cooling system with Peugeot recommended method, you stand a high chance of trapping air inside the radiator and/or engine.

For Peugeots, their cooling systems are better bled when engine is cold.

Most importantly, the engine must be off while bleeding a Peugeot cooling system. This is where people make mistakes, bleeding with other brands method that requires engines to be running. For Peugeot cars, the engine must not run while bleeding.

Now, for your EW10 engine, it has 3 bleed points. 1 on radiator, 2nd point on thermostat housing and 3rd point on heater matrix line. 406 radiator with EW10 engine has a bleed valve. If you don't bleed from that valve, air will remain trapped in the radiator no mater how you bleed from other bleed valves. The first place to start bleeding on EW engine bay is from heater matrix bleed screw. The 2nd place is the radiator. While the last place to bleed is the 5" Allen bolt on thermostat housing. If you don't bleed from that bolt on thermostat housing, air will be trapped in the engine, cylinder head to be specific.

The thing is, a Peugeot engine that is not well bled, will overheat, because of air trapped in.

Now, to your abused fan connection.

Ikenna

For a start, go and get EW10 thermostat and mount back in thermostat housing. It cost about 6k. Before you mount it, test it on a pot of boiling water and observe when it opens and closes. Do that for 3 times, to be sure the thermostat works before you mount it. That a thermostat is new doesn't mean it will work

Will post picture of EW10 thermostat later.

Ikenna

Removing cooling system thermostat doesn't guarantee your engine won't overheat. That's mistake people make. It will even make it worse when the lion starts overheating, since there is no more engine temperature regulator, which is the thermostat you have removed.

Absence of thermostat will shorten the current engine lifespan, which could the cause failure for the previous engine.

Bypassing fan factory connection and connecting it to spin with ignition on or engine running, is as bad as removing thermostat. Now, removing thermostat and abusing fan connection to spin constantly will amount to quick death of engine.

The way out?


Ikenna

Ok. Lets continue.

Ikenna

airex:
the fan starts spining immediately I switch on th ignition

Then your radiator fan doesn't work well. In fact, your cooling system is seriously abused. To put it in a better way, you are currently ruining that engine you newly purchased and mounted.

Anyway, I am kind of busy right now. Will get back to you on how to revert that abuse and then troubleshoot then find out if any cooling system component is faulty for exceeding 90 degree Celsius at such short km.

Ikenna

airex:
It works well, twas tested yesterday. I'm grateful for ur time sir

It works well, how?

Let me break it down.

When you start the car, does the fan starts spinning immediately the engine starts or immediately you switch on ignition?

OR

Does the fan starts spinning after the engine has ran for about 30 minutes (without AC)?


Ikenna

airex:
It's an EW10 engine. The cooling system perfect, thermostat absent, It was d japs system of bleeding. Tnx

The cooling system cannot be perfect with absence of thermostat and bleeding an EW engine with Japs method of bleeding.

Before I go further, how does the radiator fan works?

Ikenna

airex:
I don't know why my peugeot 406 temperature is always[b] exceeding 90[/b] within 10km even early in the morning. I just changed d engine because the other one got bad. I need help on the situation please. I'll be grateful

Information you provided isnt enough to find solution for your Lion.

For a start, what engine model is it?

Then, whats the history of that cooling systems? In other words, whats the current state of the coling system?

How does the radiator fan works? Still factory?

The cooling system thermostat, still present?

How did you bleed the cooling system the last time you bled the System? Japs method or Peugeot method?


I can only help you here, if most of the above questions are answered.

malikworld:
Hello Ikenna, I have been following the threads and i must confess it has been very helpful. Pls, my question is, is e0 engine thesame as ew10 cos i saw a 406 engine recently and e0 is written on it and when i asked abt it i was told is thesame as ew10.

E0 engraved on cylinder head stands for EW10. So yes, they are correct.

For EW7, you will find E7. For EW12, you will find either E2 or E4.

Hi, I need some advice please. I want to buy a Peugeot car, between a 206 and a 406 one of my major consideration is economy. Mostly fuel economy. Can you please give me some guidelines. Thanks

Both are very fuel economical and friendly. By friendly, I meant reliable, durable and fun to drive.

jakigaga:
I am also not in agreement with the Mechanic.its a 2002 Model carrying EW 10 engine.[/size][size=8pt]

EW10 has about 2 auxiliary belt idlers (plastic and metal) with the tensioner. If any of them fails, the belt will always fail as well.

If the owner is the type that likes swimming with his 406, then A/C compressor pulley bearing will fail and start wobbling. That will reduce belt life span frequently as well.

Genuine new auxiliary belt for EW10 cost about 4k (Gates, Dayco, etc). So if the owner has been using the one that cost N600, then you already have the answer.

Good afternoon everyone.

I came back from work yesterday and decided to talk about ES engine in 607. While on it, I slept off. Lol!

Anyway, before i talk about the ES engine, I want to first talk about something more important that determines how you enjoy lion or regret owing one. And that is Driving Position Converted 607.

From the experience and knowledge i have gathered over the years working on 607s, about 80 percent of them that have severe issues were the ones originally were Right Hand Drive (RHD), but poorly converted to Left Hand Drive (to match Nigerian driving position). This cut accross other Lions.

If you can, please avoid converted driving position lions, if you would listen. Unless you are ready to live with the consequences and dont complain. You dont mess up or abuse factory wiring of a Peugeot car and expect a trouble-free ownership. As simple as Peugeot cars electrical systems are to me, I know how complex and mean they can be when you abuse them.

Most Nigerians that convert these lions simply cut conners, and in the process introduce headaches ECUs can handle. Almost all 607 i have worked on that were RHD-LHD converted would have some connectors left disconnected on BSI units. Reasons for that, I do not know. Their A/C systems hardly work well, because of bending or forcing RHD AC components or pipes to work in LHD side. In the process, they keep leaking gas. In fact, in most of them, they will have to bypass the factory climate control system and configure a relay outside BSI unit to power the A/C compressor, which most times would damage the BSI unit.

I know a guy here in Abuja that drives converted 407 that have replaced burnt engine ECU & BSM 3 times, because of wrong connection done during the electrical conversion that keeps burning these 2 components.

To properly convert a lion from RHD to LHD (Electrically), you will have to buy wires and patiently add/extend all wires, sockets and switches that need to move to Left side or you simply buy a complete wiring harness or 607 model been converted, considering the engine and transmission.

To cut the story short, you will have peace of mind and enjoy these Lions like I do when you go for Factory LHD. I understand that most people that own these lions dont know their original driving positions. They only rely on what dealers told them at the time of purchase. On many occassions, i had to prove to owners their original driving position of their lions which left them devastated for the deception and mistakes. I recalled the day someone brought a 607 to me. He said the lion was 2008 model. He couldnt believe me until i showed and proved to him it was 2002 model. He felt bad because the dealer that sold the lion to him lied it was 2008 model.

To make it easy for you, if you are interested in acquiring a 607 or any Lion and found one that interest you, get the VIN and send it to me to confirm from Peugeot database the true driving position and the rest for you. Its very important that you know these things before you purchase any lion. Don't rely on what a dealer told you, because he himself may not truly know or he intentionally deceiving you. Some lions can be difficult to tell it was factory LHD or RHD to a non -expert. 607 is one of them. Contact me or anyone Peugeot expert to help you know the original driving position, engine, transmission, production year, etc. Send me SMS, WhatsApp message, mail or even a call when you are in such need. I have never complained. People have been getting these informations free from me.

Peugeot cars hates abuse. If you cannot do without abusing a car, then look elsewhere, Peugeot 607 is not for you.

Will talk about the ES engine later. Thank you.

A 406 I am interested in owning has a peculiar problem.the serpentine belt is always failing,the owner has replaced the pulleys and has been told by his mechanic that he should buy a half engine with the follow come pulley's to solve his problem.This sounds odd to me but if anyone here has any experience as regards the stated issue kindly assist with a solution.

What engine model is that, if I may ask? I don't want to go into the funny suggestion the mechanic gave, yet.

Ikenna

Good evening everyone.

Another 607 tip for tonight.

Most phase I 607 come with 2 batteries, but most people don't know or don't know their functions or failure symptoms of each of them.

The engine crank battery is in the engine bay, while the 2nd battery, Service battery, is inside the boot. The main work of the battery in engine bay is to crank and start the engine, while the service battery powers all the gadgets and some engine monitoring components. The engine crank battery symptom when it fails is well obvious, just like any other car. But the service battery has a different symptom when it fails. But because people don't read their owners manual (they assume they know all about their newly acquired cars), they suffer in ignorance when the service battery fails, because it could mess up the running of engine when failing (remember it powers some components that controls the powertrain). A simple tool like DMM that cost about N500 can tell you if the culprit is the service battery when you observe something is wrong. An understanding of tell signs (warning signs) on the MFD (for those that read their owners manual) would tell you when the service battery has failed, just like every other battery would, someday.

When you ask many people what they know about their cars, you would be surprised that all they know are what other people told them about their cars, what they found and read online about their cars. That's all. They don't know what the manufacturers said their cars are and how it should be used. They rely on information they gathered from others or read online, which most times are very wrong information. For example, some people are quoting figures they found in wikipedia as number of 607 sold since its production till it went out of production. Funny thing is, they rely on information that was not put there by Peugeot, the manufacturer /company. For the past 2-3 years, I have been receiving bulletins from PSA every quarter, clearly stating volumes of sales at every quarter and in every continent. Funny enough, information in wikipedia are put there by anything that can type, even if its not a human being. Anything can go in there and edit and type in whatever he feels he wants the world to think it is. But there is no point trying to prove one wrong , because its not worth it.

Its funny, no matter how many book you read on how to drive, you can't learn how to drive until you get into drivers seat and get to work. When you read only or rely on what you read, your knowledge is limited. You can read 100 books on how to troubleshoot a car, but until you get some tools and get to work under the bonnet, you can never know how to do it. You can read about a particular race, tribe or group of people, which you may find only how negative those people are in those books you read. But until you meet, live with, interact with one on one or spend some time with those group of people, you will not know what they truly are. You simply live in another mans opinion he formed about those people, making yourself not worthy or man enough and chose to live by other peoples approval.

My next tip on 607 will be on ES (V6) engine in 607, how to use it to last over 1 million kilometer mileage.

Thank you.

Observe how Stable the 607 was at that crazy speed. Lions are not for the fainthearted.

**Please do not try this on Nigerian road.**




Now for the petrolheads, this 607 video below is for you. Pay attention to the speedometer, tachometer and the stick gear changing. That is, the vehicle speed against the engine speed and at what gears.

Raymie:
Why would someone due to his hatred of something resort to dropping both veiled and open insults towards another's person? A person he probably has neither seen nor encountered before. To what end? And he calls himself an elder. Yhu hate Peugeot, fine. Yhu think the car has issues, valid. But going to call someone delusional, and a con is IMHO totally uncalled for. Has he conned yhu or any person yhu know before. Let our biases not drive us to blind hate, especially when we can't do any better ourselves. Now @Smartchoices had resorted to insulting my parentage and upbringing of which I know is far more decent than his (not his parents' fault. They just bore a terrible child). I'm not as fanatical about Pugs as @Ikenna351, though I drive one. I am privileged to have owned and driven other brands, and each vehicle and brand do have their merits and faults. This Ikenna that @Smartchoice and @Abatically take pleasure in deriding, despite his apparent inclinations does treat other brands and models on their merit. Its then one old man that spams the Merc thread with endless complaints and fruitless arguments that I will listen to? On what basis? To learn how to troll? (Apparently he became so disgusted with his previous NL persona and decided to deactivate his account and has set about redisgusting himself again, this time in plural form).

Like I pointed earlier in one of my post, when someone comes online to criticize or tell the world how passionately he hates a Peugeot, there is a history that holds the truth behind that antagonism.

Smartchoice/Smartchoices used to be a member of the WhatsApp Peugeot community I created. But just like you have seen him doing here, he was busy on the same mission in,the community. Of course, I created the community and know the aim of creating it. To bring lion owners together in the den, share joyful experiences, help each other out on issues with their lions and see each other as lions and lionesses that we are. I didn't create the community for anyone to to come and discourage anyone in the house from using Peugeot or turn the house to anti-Peugeot house. So, I removed him from the house, after a long patience with him, hoping that he would change.

So what you see him doing here is "to get back to Ikenna351" for not letting him accomplish his mission to destroy the community. So let him continue with his insults because I honestly don't feel such things anymore, after I found the power in me. I wont sacrifice that happiness I have found to stoop low to that level anymore to anyone.

Funny enough, while he and his colleagues are busy with hatred on Ikenna351 and Peugeot, I am busy moving up. For instance, Peugeot Paris, the Peugeot headquarters, knows that I, Ikenna351, exist. They have called and we have spoken. PAN knows that I, Ikenna351, also exist. I have not only met and spoke with their Management, I also chat with their ogas on personal note. Smartchoices called me a mechanic, thinking that would sound derogatory to me. Fortunately, that's a big compliment to me, honestly speaking. You know why? Because Nigerians benefit from the knowledge I have acquired on Peugeot systems. Not just Nigerians, the world. Recently in North America, people that still drive 505 V6 are asked to seek Ikenna (me) who lives in Nigeria to give solutions to their 505 V6 issues. The North American 505 community have been benefiting from me by sending money to me to buy parts and ship to them in USA and Canada. My name is world Peugeot owners lips. So, do you think I will be bothered about whatever he anyone in Nairaland thinks of me anymore?

There is something you need to understand. Even if 1 million people hates your message, there are 5 million people out there waiting to hear and accept that message. That's what happened to Jesus Christ even when his people never bothered about his existence, yet the entire world did.

And finally, I don't need to prove myself to anybody anymore, since the day I found the power I possess within me. How do I mean? When Satan tried to tempt Jesus Christ to jump off a mountain, nothing stopped Jesus Christ from doing that to prove to Satan that indeed that he posses that power. But first, he knew that there is a Law of nature against it, which is the law of gravity. He didn't need to break a law to prove himself or a point to Satan. Also he didn't need to do that to prove to Satan that yes, He is the King of Kings. My point is, whatever any human thinks of me doesn't matter to me anymore, because I have discovered that no one deserve sacrificing my happiness and I now create my reality with power in me, move up higher and higher.

I am taking my time to tell you all these because I pleaded with you earlier to ignore them. Why? People, Nigerians, are still buying Peugeots on daily basis irrespective of what few Nairaland members think of the brand. Brand new Peugeots on Abuja road are increasing every day. So don't let few uninformed get you upset because they will only end up pulling you down to their level. Because you lose when you are in sad mood, while you gain abundance in life when there is joy and happiness filling your heart. Simply, wish them well and wish for them to change from antagonistic life .

The fear of a Lion, is the beginning of wisdom.

Ikenna

The while point is,




What you think,

What you feel,

And what manifests in your life,

Is always a match,

Every single time,

No exception.





What does the above means, if you think negatively of what you have or what you think you want to have, you will always experience negative experience against that thing because that's what you focus on, negativity. You will subconsciously and consciously be on look out for negative and that will become your experience. You can't have peace using that thing because you always expect something negative to come out of that. The unfortunate thing about being a negative human being is that it will translate to everything you do in life, to the point that it would be so obvious to people around you and no one likes staying around an antagonistic fellow.

If you like a Peugeot 607, find someone that understands the system and knows the secret/tips on how to enjoy such ownership . Make your decision by yourself and do what your hearts tells you. Because, at the end of the day, you are the one to own and drive the lion. There are so many good things in life waiting for us to pick and be joyful which is the main reason we are here for on Earth. It's left for you to pick one that pleases you. My happiness cannot/maynot be your happiness. The worst thing you can do to yourself is to sacrifice your happiness your happiness to please the world. The wealthiest men on Earth have one thing in common: They are doing different things to be and remain wealthy. Find yours and break away from the Nay Sayers that wants to keep you in that circle that will make your life a struggling one for the rest of your life.

Happiness is what brings in more, not how many prayer points you have been praying for decades. As for me, I have found one of my happiness and that is Peugeot. I don't know about you.

Thank you.

PEUGEOT 607 MECHANICALS:

I have heard people mistakenly say, "406 engine, 407 engine or 607 engine". That is wrong. There is no such thing. We don't have anything like 607 engine or 406 engine. What we have is engine families.

Why did I say so, the same exact (Identical, not similar) petrol and diesel engines we have in 406, 407, 807, etc, are the same identical or exact engines we have in 607, no exception. Let me put in another way, there is no difference between Petrol and Diesel engines and gearboxes (auto and manual) in 406 and that of 607.

Some people that have called or mailed me to find out if truly lions are reliable as I usually say, since that have developed interest. They would always say, "I want to go for a Peugeot 406 because I heard 406 engines are more reliable and durable than other lions." That's what probably they learnt from uniformed people online and thought that must be the case.

So if you believed that transmissions in 406 or 407 are good, then that's is applicable to the ones in 607, because they are the same identical transmissions.

So, the information I passing to everyone is the powertrains in 406, 407 or 607 are all the same, depending on production years or phases.

So you have nothing to worry about.

You can find differences in suspensions, brake components, etc.

Abuse of powertrain is what people indulge in and create nightmares for themselves. When Peugeot specifically asked you the owner to use this oil available in Nigeria, you will choose groundnut oil over the manufacturers recommended oil. When Peugeot says don't tamper with Auto transmission oil or use this ATF oil grade and brand, you will prefer to use Abro ATF in the transmission. When Peugeot says , bleed your cooling systems properly with method recommended by Peugeot whenever you work on your cooling system, you would prefer to bleed the system with another brand bleeding method, forgetting that the routing of cooling systems differ from car brand to another and there was a reason you were asked to bleed it this way.

Last month, February 2015, someone had an overheating issue with his 607 here in Abuja. I was called to come and help. When I got there, I couldn't think of any reason why the system would not overheat. I mean, half of the cooling system hoses that passes coolant on the engine were all cut off and blocked, leaving only 1 or 2 connected to the engine. Funny enough, it was a V6 engine. How do you expect that V6 engine temperature to remain normal when coolant doesn't circulate inside the engine as designed, when they have almost been cut off and blocked from circulating? If the person comes up tomorrow and post online how Peugeot 607 engines are always overheating and unreliable, I believe the anti -Peugeots would smile, right? Of course, the history what led to those issues is irrelevant, right?

I have seen and own these Lions over years to know how good these lions can truly be when an owner decides to appreciate what he/she has by not abusing them. Funny enough, In the course of troubleshooting and fixing lions for people over the years, I have met quite a number of young ladies who drives these lions for years and their lions still look like they just started using them. And to crown it all, they love their lions. My concern now , how come men are the ones running around on online preaching how unreliable these lions? Sometimes, it does make sense that "Women can do better" than most men, actually.

PEUGEOT 607 ELECTRICALS cont'd

Fully Multiplexing 607 phase II: These are series II 607, a handsome Pininfarina design, one of a kind Lion. The fully multiplexing simply means they have less wires than the early series. Also as reliable as the succeeded one. It comes with different improved suspension systems as well, one of the best ever produced and used in Lions. The Variable steering feel on the V6 models is out of this world, including the variable suspension. I could go on and on. It's an outstanding Lion!

Now, the same electrical system we have in this 607 models is what you will find in 407, 807, 307, etc. Again, everyone wants to own, drive and enjoy 407 in Abuja. 407 is increasing on daily basis on Abuja roads. The way they enjoy their electrics is the way the 607 phase II would put smile on your face too, if you try one.
But here is the problem, People, especially most Nigerians, can't help abusing their vehicles. It's that bad. For example, about 2 people brought their 407 to me to troubleshoot and fix issues with the lions. On opening the bonnets, wires were butchered and left littered all over the engine bay. Now it gets funny. Everytime I open the drivers door, the electric radiator fans would trigger on and start spinning, even when ignition keys were not in ignition switches, as long as car batteries were still connected. On closer inspection, it was a terrible connection done at the fan housing, trying to bypass factory fan connections to spin constantly as soon as ignition comes on that caused that. These Peugeot cars are not designed to be abused. In this case, the electrical abuses were so bad that BSI unit partially crashed and started using Driver's door as radiator fan trigger. I could remember telling one of them that no way I would plug in my scan tool in that lion for fear of damaging my device, for you need to see what a fellow human being did on a system that should be remove and plug when something needs attention.

So the same group of persons would go online and tell the world that "Peugeot cars are this and that". But no one has ever bothered to check the history behind that car. Car is garbage in garbage out. What you give is what you get. It's not the other way round. People that appreciate what they have don't allow another being to touch what they value anyhow in the name of trial and error troubleshooting. Sometimes, the owners are the cause of these abuses, by even directing the mechanics to carry out these butchering of wires and bypassing of factory wiring connections. What can I say. Peugeots are not made for people with poor maintenance culture and also not made for people who don't appreciate what they have. It is that simple.

Still on electrical system, the same Bosch ME7.6.4 injection we have in 406, is the same in 607, no difference whatsoever.

The same way a 406 can be very durable and reliable lion, is the same way a 607 is.

What I find funny is, when a fuse or headlight bulb fails or blows in a 607, it becomes "unreliable" to an anti-Peugeot or Nay Sayers. But when a suspension fails frequently or a knock sensor fails frequently and damage engine in another brand of car, it becomes "normal wear and tear and evidence of reliability" to the same anti-Peugeot.

Coming next is the Peugeot 607 mechanicals.

PEUGEOT 607 ELECTRICALS.

Peugeot 607 has two electrical systems, depending on the production year: Phase I (1999- early 2004), phase II (late 2004-2010).

The electrical system the phase I 607 has is called partial multiplexing (VAN-bus). It means more wires in the car. Its a very reliable system. Now, what makes it interesting is, its the same electrical system in this 607 that 206, 406 (early D9), etc, have. No difference. The funny thing is that some ignorant people would try to infect you with this mind virus that 607 electrical systems are very problematic, they are very unreliable, they would give it all negative names you could imagine. Like Jesus Christ said, my people perish in ignorance. But I wonder if Jesus Christ could see how right he was and still is. I mean, they not only perish in ignorance, but they gloat about their ignorance. For example, I could remember when the ignorant one would tell you, "Peugeot 406 electricals are problematic, they fail apart after 100,000 km; they are this, they are that". But now, visit Abuja. Every nook and cranny of Abuja is filled up with this same 406 no one wants to touched. Everyone wants to drive 406 in Abuja, even if its the cheap one shipped in and converted from RHD- LHD, just to have the marvelous looking and agile Lion. Why the change of mind all of a sudden? Because why you are busy telling the world how bad the lion was, your very next Neighbor is driving his or hers, year after year, smiling, yet you are there eating yourself up in antagonism and negativity for a car you probably don't know what the ignition key looks like, let alone ever sat behind the steering wheel, yet you seem to know much about the car more than the true owners that have driven theirs for years and not even thinking of changing them or planning to upgrade to another lion, after years of joyful ownership of these 406s. So people took the bold step, starting buying and using and found how wrong they were before. I still remember several calls and mails I had received in the past stating what I have just explained , "How wrong they were before about 406".

My point is, after years of studies, troubleshooting and repairs, and ownerships of these lions, I authoritatively tell you, there is no single difference between VAN-bus in 406 and VAN-bus in 607 phase I and 206 with VAN-bus. What differs is how many gadgets. But people have let their mind get so filled up with their fellow human being hates and wrong information on these lions, that they would rather stay in that comfort zone and would always salivate whenever a 607 passes them than finding out (for themselves) truly how reliable, durable and fun this Lion can be. People have become so inferior to themselves that somebody else must know better than themselves, he must be right, they are right, etc.

One funny part is when they would say, "The majority said this, so they must be right". Well, Majority said to Harold, " You must Crucify Jesus Christ, even though we know he is innocent. Let his blood be on our heads and our children's children's head for crucifying an innocent man". That's the majority for you. When you doubt the power within you to decide what and how you want your life to be, rather, let the world or majority decide for you.

Coming up next is Fully Multiplexing 607 and why some 607s give electrical issues to their owners.

Good morning everyone.

I appreciate all those who called and sent me messages/mails, indicating interest in 607 after going through this thread and all my posts on Peugeots in Nairaland. Like I promised, I would review and explain all the systems in the wonderful amazing powerful lion, 607. What marveled me was even with Nay Sayers/ dream killers mission on this thread, you guys chose to listen to your hearts. It gives me joy that Nigerians have started to say no to mind virus going on on social sites; that Nigerians are beginning to follow their bliss and their hearts, rather than live miserable life, trying to live by "peoples approval". Thank God I left that miserable life called comfort zone and my life has been fulfilling and magical ever since.

Never forget this: "Do not ever let any human being choose and define your happiness for you!". The power in you is more than the world around you. I am living testimony to that.

Now, I will start the lecture on Peugeot 607 entire systems, by breaking them post by posts. Relax and enjoy!

Here it comes.

So, yhu mean to tell me that a brand with a lot at stake will just deliberately go out and create moving disasters to achieve what? Which brand does not have complaints of poor build? LandRovers/RangeRovers have almost never seemed to get their dashboards right . Same with Toyota. The Merc is widely known for rust issues. Recent offerings have not seemed to solve that. (my boss has a 2010 c300 with rust. The Japs have a myriad of issues from mild to life threatening. I've watched Top Gear ridicule the BMW x6 and the Tesla Roadster so bad. So if we're to go by their reviews, many cars we currently drive wouldn't be on the road.

Don't stoop this low in arguing over this. It appears you really don't know the racism that has been going on in Top gear with regards to French, not just a Peugeot company.

When a racist or tribalist wants to review something from a tribe or race he hates, what exactly do you expect to get? Even positives will be twisted to look negative when such fellow speaks.

Anyway, I have been getting more calls and messages from people that have seen and read this thread, indicating interest to own lions. So, guys, please keep updating the thread. It really helps.

As from tomorrow, I will start reviewing the 607.

Good morning everyone.

If you have any question on the secret or tips on having a trouble free Peugeot 406, I am to fill you with those answers. Enjoy your day.

I woke up this morning, feeling so happy and grateful for having/owning Peugeot 607 V6 (phase II).

So please, I am here to help you, if you have anything you want to know about such a wonderful lion. Good morning everyone.

The scanner used was pp20000

Then, find another person that knows how to use PP2000 and scan the car again, because the first guy didn't do it right. Or go back to him/her, call me and i will direct you how to scan with PP2000 to get both definitions and code. You really need to see what is stored in that engine ECU, rather than beating about the bush.

I still would suggest a fuel pressure test. Where do you stay? Lagos? If you stay in Lagos, contact Gazzuz to properly diagnose that Lion.
