General Comments

I had a 406 GLX 2.0 manual,1999. Which has suffered from erratic idle, (lumpy on tickover).The car had been back to the main dealers appx 7 times with countless components changed including a very expensive engine management system, ECU. With all the latest downloads the garage failed to find the fault and blamed it on the characteristic of 406's. After threatening them with court action, I finally got them to exchange the car for a GTX model, which might I say runs smoothly without any lumpiness. It would be interesting to hear from anyone who has had the same problem ?

    I also have a 406 2.0 although it is a Manual box.
    It also suffers lumpy / erratic tickover I have taken it back to Cribbs Causeway peugeot dealer several times without resoulution!
    The last time they said it was the hydraulic cams which they so said changed - alas the same as it was before.
    They just don't know what causes the lumpiness!!
    I have now given up and decided to "live with it"
    As had been said already the customer service is the worst I have ever come across. They just do not care once they have sold the car.
    In my opinion do not buy a car from Templegate Motors in Bristol they are not good
    I have no other complaints on the car it's just just a mass production bolt standard car and I do not expect it to be anything thing than that.

    Hi I've been trying to get to the bottom of the lumpy idle speed for at least 70,000 miles. The local dealers have appalling knowledge and expertise. I am going through all posible causes from a hit list which I have concocted myself, thoroughly checking all sensors etc. with my own electronic and engineering knowhow. The latest suspect, (and I hope the final one), is the fuel pump pressure, which sits at 4 bar, and I think is too high. I have ordered a new one and hope that it clears the problem.
