globalfanz: This topic is quite timely. But V6 seem to be availlable in COUPE only. I dont like 2 door car. Have done some search but cant get it in saloon version.

abdulkadir: @ ikenna
Have a friend who bough d V6 auto nd converted it to a manual when d transmission developed issues.
wldnt it bringup other issues later?

abdulkadir:
what i hate abt Lions is dat Nigeria was killed in d rear (owners) seat of 504s & 505s. Lol!

Ikenna351:

Please, can you explain the above?

Ikenna.

gongo aso:

LOL!!!

I think he meant the country Nigeria was 'killed' by the occupiers of the rear seats of 504s & 505s.
Maybe a subtle reference to the Top Army Brass and Top Politicians who preferred the Lions for obvious reasons as Official Vehicles.

I arrived Abuja, my house, 3 hrs ago, which i left Enugu this morning. So i just logged in and saw your post.

A converted V6? Run for your dear life! Don't even look back while you are on it.

Swapping in EW10 into engine bay of XU10 may not be a big deal. But swapping in ES9J45 in an I4 D9 is a big time big deal. It wont be a simple drop. A lot of modifications will have to be done. Only a person who knows what he is doing can achieve a succesful conversion.

A friend of mine in Australia swapped in ES9J4S in his 406 coupe V6 (D8), which originally had ES9J4 in the engine bay. After reading what he went through to complete the task, it was obvious that such task isn't meant for the road side mechanics. Note that both vehicle originally had a V6, before swapping in another V6, but it still a hard task. Not to think of I4 to V6. Unless you mean RHd to LHD, and not I4 to V6.

The most impotant part of EFI engine conversion is the engine harness swap. How good is the auto electrician that will do the harness swap and modifications in understading wiring diagram of that engine to be swapped in? I studied my wiring diagram and understood the functions of each wires in the engine bay, and where they are coming from and going to. If i would do such conversion, i will do the engine harness swap myself. But since you are not the one that did the electrical part of the conversion, how are you sure they even used the wiring diagram in the conversion?

The issue with the car which the dealer claimed was injectors issues could be a serious wrong harness/wiring connections done during the conversion.

If you want a D9 V6, get a factory/standard D9 V6. Is what I would do. In fact, am working towards it.

we we: It was a conversion from RHD to LHD. How reliable is a converted 406? I was made to understand that most 406 imported from Europe were converted from RHD to LHD except very few ones.
By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have friends that have used both cars, they are very unreliable. Also resale value is bad.
If you have cash just stick with Toyota, Honda, Nissan in that order.

I used peugeot 406 for 12 years & 307 for 10 years. 406 is a good for both local runs & journey, same applies to 307. It's doesn't give problem if you have a good mechanic, not all those mechanic that repair more than 10 brands of vehicle. The only thing you will need to watch out for is the timing belt & oxygen sensor. I normally buy it's original belt & replace it every 2 year, not ones that is sold for 6k that last only 4 - 6 months while the oxygen sensor (green) helps the vehicle in its economy, if it's faulty you will notice black smoke from the exhaust. After these 2 things I never issues with both cars. If not for the new models with timing chain, all other peugeot with timing belt, requires changing every 2 years if you're using the original one. Avoid cut & join electrician, because almost all wiring comes from the brain box. If you observe this then peugeot will last longer than you expect
