Good evening everyone

I'm looking to get a Peugeot 406 but my issue is i don't know how to drive stick shift and i don't even want to drive manual because is stressfull for me, i would really like an automatic transmission but people scare me alot when they say there Automatic transmissions are not really well built.how true is that?.
Can you recommend which Automatic model to get for a person who just want to enjoy the car and not abuse it and can easily be maintained.

Can I get clean one with low mileage if i decide to get one from Cotonou?

And if you have any extra information you can share with me about the Automatic i will really appreciate it.

Is not true, I have one. It is our driven mode that is killing the transmission. here is the deal
1. Al4 is power hungry gearbox, so when the car is cold, it does not the get the power it need. Always let the car get worm before you start driving. If you are in haste you can wait for it get warmed, then start the car in a snow mode(snow mode starting from second or third gear). When you engage the car to D don't release the break pedal engage the snow mode by pressing the snow mode button ( the three buttons near the gear stick, the middle one with star 🌟 symbol) then release the break zoom off. With this on, the transmission would change gear til 90km/h. With this mode your gearbox is safe until the temperature reach normal, you can disengage it by pressing the button again..
2. Use 5w20 engine oil instead of dextron III transmission oil. Me I am using ammasco vita 5000 as transmission fluid. Since I started it, my gearbox is getting new everday. No overheating problem which is the number killer of the gearbox.
3. Be changing your transmission fluid oftenly, every six months if you can. Don't listen people saying transmission fluid is for life. If you follow that your gearbox is dead walking
4. Always scan when there is problem with gearbox. Give only Peugeot expert to work on your gearbox, avoid any how kazeems

I don’t know how this is calculated but my Camry 2007 4 cylinder consumes 40 liters of fuel for a mileage of 150 mileage.

Please is this good or bad for my car?

Is bad, to be frank. It should be around 20-25 highest.

Hello everyone. Please I want to know if any one have ever done ECU remapping in Nigeria here. If so, where and how was the result?
To be specific the stage one remapping that improves hp, torque and fuel efficiency.
I want do that to lion, this fuel price we need to do something about. Remapping is an option if we have the right person to do it for us.
Thanks guys as I wait for your responses

You should clear, drive a bit & rescan.

Or better yet, check the compatibility of the solenoid with the software version on the ecu..it's easy to do, it's on the app

P.s, There are two types of solenoid for theAL4
the old solenoid has a white top
The new has black top( latest).

Okay.
What is on the transmission now is the one with black top, and I am sure it is compatible with the ECU, the reason being that, before the last scanning it was the white top solenoid that was on the transmission and error codes pointed solenoid problem which we changed and put on the black top which is currently on the transmission and that particular problem is gone since then.
I will proceed and do as u advice (clear the error codes, drive a bit and rescan again). I will get back with the results ASAP. Thanks alot Sir

Elsueno:
MBA34390734 have u cleared the error codes after the repairs?

Did u scan the gear box b4 fixing all those things?

I know the Al4 usually needs a bit of time to normalize after the ATF has being refilled

Thanks for your reply.

No, I'd didn't clear the errors up to now
The scan was done before changing the two solenoid valves. Since then there is no scan done up to now and the problem is still up.
Should I scan and clear the errors?
What should I do after that?

Please I need help on my lion 406 year of manufacture is 2000 with ew10 engine. (automatic transmission).
1. The car used to flash snow and sport and it jump to limp mode on motion, when I took the car to gear box mech he opened valve body washed and closed it, it didn't stop, he took the car for scanning it appears to be solenoid valve so after changing the solenoid valve, the problem is gone. So I had a long journey about 600km, after moving about 30km the first gear started slipping, as if I put the car on neutral (N), when I press the gas pedal the engine rev suddenly the gear get engaged again with loud bang ( just like engaging gear in manual without pressing the clutch). This happens at bumb or when slow down, it happens at interval some time at every bumb). It started raining heavily and the slipping stops completely for the rest of the journey as the rain keep on until I came back home. The folIowimg morning I took the car to same guy, on narrating what happened he said the ATF ( AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID) got overheated, because It is old, he said. We changed it with new one. After two days it happens once at a bumb at normal town driving.
I am beginning to have second though about the problem "if really it is the ATF", cos I have new ATF in the gearbox but it happens again. Please I need help on what to check or do next.
2. Second thing, shifting from first to second is gear is banging (just like something is heating beneath the car floor) which he also said when we change the solenoid valve it will stop, but it didn't, though not as loud as it was before changing the solenoid valve.
I don't want to take the car to him until I hear from you guys. I need your help fellow lion owners.
Thank you
