Hello,
I'm searching for any suggestions on what might be going on with my old 406 (1996, diesel) without having to go to a peugeot dealer.
I have an intermittent fault that is rapidly becoming less intermittent and pretty dangerous - orange engine management warning light comes on with a big "stop" sign. The dangerous part is the accompanying loss of power, steering, brakes, the lot, when I'm slowing down and the clutch is in.
It doesn't matter if the car's warm or cold. Today, whilst driving round auto-electricians and mechanics for advice (none have any idea what's up), it has juddered a bit before cutting out or threatening to, in second or third gear. Applying the gas a bit can save it from loosing power sometimes.
An auto electrician who endeavoured to look at possible error reports, informed me that the car was made before they started putting what I think of as a hard drive in 406s (forgive me for not knowing the right term). So, his software couldn't help.
I know the glow plugs need replacing. Could this be anything to do with it? The last job done on it was to do with the imobiliser key pad a few hundred miles ago. ?
Any suggestions would be very gratefully received.
Thanks,
Christine
