2004 peugeot 406

The French know what real comfort is. After all, when you sit down even in a ten-year-old Peugeot 406, you are surprised how effortlessly it swallows road bumps. Or how quiet it is in the cabin. What can we say about the new car that appeared in the mid-nineties - then he immediately became a bestseller in the family class. After all, in addition to comfort, this "fawn" was perfectly controlled - this advantage was immediately appreciated by European drivers. In the Russian sales ratings Peugeot 406 has been on the top lines since 1997, almost immediately after the start of official sales. However, in addition to the obvious advantages in our country, the "Frenchman" has one more thing - the aggressive pricing policy of dealers who played for a fall. This bet paid off. Dealers skimmed off both the first and the second wave of popularity, after the model was restyled in 1999. Today, there are many used "four hundred and sixths" on the secondary market. The offer increased aft 2004 peugeot 406 er the presentation of the "four hundred and seventh" model. So you can choose for a long time. Even longer to argue - is it justified to buy a used "wad"? On the body of the Peugeot 406 you will not find signs of corrosion - it is well protected from it by a double-sided galvanic coating. The exception, as always, is cars that are poorly restored after an accident. The suspension of the "four hundred and sixth" also turned out to be extremely tenacious for a French car. Most of its parts can easily withstand a run of up to 150 thousand km. At the same time, there are very few weak points - these are stabilizer struts and steering tips, which are enough for only 30 thousand km. In a word, given the excellent driving qualities of the Peugeot 406, this is not burdensome at all. Especially when compared with the suspension costs of German classmates. In a rich engine range - petrol 4-cylinder engines with a volume of 1.6,1.8, 2 and 2.2 liters, as well as a 3-liter V6 with a capacity of 207 forces. Turbodiesels are represented by "fours" with a volume of 2 and 2.2 liters. Gasoline engines developed jointly with Citroen have proven themselves well in operation - they are quite reliable and not very expensive to maintain. However, these engines are characterized by increased oil appetite: you have to add up to a liter per thousand kilometers. The 2-liter engine sins with a leak of the rear crankshaft oil seal. If at the junction of the clutch basket and the engine, smudges of the "transmission" were found, then it's time to renew the oil seal. He himself costs a penny, but the work of replacing will result in $ 400. The electronic sensors of the engine fail: idle and throttle position, air flow. But the V6 is phenomenal reliability and durability. Even his spark plugs with platinum electrodes on our fuel stably withstand 60 thousand km. Very low, under the left headlight, the Peugeot 406 has an air intake. When forcing deep puddles, the motor runs the risk of “getting drunk” with water, and it’s not far from the water hammer. And this, at best, means bent connecting rods, and at worst, the need to replace the engine. By the way, some services are ready to move the pipe higher ... The manual transmission on the “fawn” has proven itself on the good side and will not cause problems not only to the second, but also to the third owner of the car. But the "machine" ... may well require not only additional attention, but also monetary injections. Usually the electronics are “buggy” and the seals are leaking. Although compared to some classmates, such worries are still "flowers" ... A weak steering rack in Russian conditions becomes completely flimsy. If the previous owner did not have time to change it, then the new owner will definitely have to fork out. The issue price is from $1200. Another problem is a radiator leak, which does not withstand the aggressive influence of road reagents. Therefore, you will constantly have to check the level of antifreeze. They say buying a French car is like playing the lottery. Probably so. True, in the case of the Peugeot 406, the chances of drawing out a winning ticket are greater compared to other "French".
