Missing additive tank
My Peugeot 406 coupe is missing its fuel additive tank. What will it do to the car and its performance?

Answered by Honest John
If it originally had one, the diesel particulate filter will not regenerate as effectively and will eventually fail. Not sure if the 2.2HDI coupe was originally fitted with one.

Utterly beautiful looking car with faultless lines. Better to drive than a 406.
