Peugeot 406 HDI's were most probably the best car they have ever produced, Nice looking even today, Reliable and stood up to rust and rot well for their era!
My co-worker has one of these with 350,000km on it, and I drive a 207 diesel with 320,000km on it, you gotta give it to Peugeot they know how to make a diesel engine that lasts.
First time of owning a psa vehicle I got a dispatch van 1.6hdi decent engine and easy to work on But. The Peugeot 1.2 petrol engine in the new cars are shocking wet belt! And makes it worst the oil for them are on major back order at the psa factory so we can't sell the correct oil just to do the oil and filter changes 🫣
New to your channel and I have to say, very impressive, the info and videoing is, not easy working with both hands let alone one and talking us through it 👍 I worked at a Peugeot dealer for almost 10 years, for me this has been a trip down memory lane
I fellout oflove with Peugeot /Citroen when they started with all the emissions & computer rubbish - no need the old 1.9 diesel with 200,000 miles was still giving 55 mpg & burnt NO oil I had loads of 1.9 Diesels - loved it and very reliable
Put 450k - miles, not km - on the same engine in a Dispatch, motor never whinged once, just routine servicing. 406 I had back in the day was the only car the Mother-In-Law ever got into & said "Blimey J, this is a very comfortable car.,." High praise indeed from the Old Battleaxe.
Great engines , known as the million mile motor , had one that did 220,000 miles on basic servicing. Another car worth considering was the last of the Citroen Xantias 2.0hdi. They put all the kit on them , no Dpf and all the problems were sorted .....then they discontinued them and introduced the C5 ....... My Xsara Estate 90 bhp would regularly do over 70 mpg on the cruise down south on the motorway. Invariably on a friday afternoon it would be chocka so i would tuck in behind a truck and chill out with Steve Wright (RIP) for company for the long trip back down south.
New to your channel, your content is simple and straightforward... i have learnt a lot. What's the best scan tool to get? I have got snapon solus at the moment
Fascinating video. Got one of these in a 306 GLX Estate on a V plate, it's done 187k miles so just about run in now. It doesn't use oil, is on the original turbo and clutch, and goes like the clappers. I paid £350 for the car seven years ago. I didn't have the service history so had a belt fitted at the initial service that turned out wasn't really needed. 50k miles (and 7 years) later it's really due another one. 😞
I used to own a petrol 405 STI, probably the best driver’s car I’ve ever owned. Sadly French electrics and repeated clutch failures due to plastic clips on the pedal eventually saw it moved on, to make way for a reliable but boring Volkswagen Golf Mk3
Ive been watching your videos for a while now and just realised…… how tight is that gap to get your cars on your ramp lol ! Ur gunner have to show is 😂
@@bazmeredith Thank you for the reply - I will have to look into getting either as there are more & more electrical issues & module issues coming up these days Thanks again
There's nothing to check on that diesel pump ,it only makes pressure, the fuel timing is done by the ECU using the crankshaft position sensor or the camshaft sensor, not sure which or if both are used on that engine to determine the injectorn signal

Dad had one of them. That engine could power a chieftain tank. Fabulous.
A favorite for the mini cab driver back in their day. Many clocked more than 4 hundred thousand.

They certainly did not so convinced on the modern ones tho 🤔

I had 1 of these as a company car. 120k miles never missed a beat or let me down. 👍👍
love how you can just do the timing belt and so many other ones keep the flow coming
Great video Baz! Top mechanic!

Easier and quicker 😂

Hi Baz do you have any tee shirts as I've seen other mechanics on tiktok wearing them, cheers mate
Yes go on face book and search custom print Leeds they do them for me
Coolant draining looked like plain water lol
Never been changed from factory
Grew video baz, never worked on one of these being 22 don’t see many
I had a blue 306 d turbo from Paul I wrote it off a year later 🤦
Great cars the 306dt
You call them aviation spanners I’ve known them as prop spanner’s, I’ve heard another name bug it escapes me for the moment
I should have kept mine. My mates is up to 250k
I had one of these cars never let me down I also had 309 equally as good just dog ugly
Interesting how you time up a direct injection fuel pump 😂😂😂😂
You don't need to like I said In the video, it just makes it easier to check
There's nothing to check on that diesel pump ,it only makes pressure, the fuel timing is done by the ECU using the crankshaft position sensor or the camshaft sensor, not sure which or if both are used on that engine to determine the injectorn signal
