Yep, vacuum operated diaphragm full of oil and leaking air when I tested it.
Can't really say Id look forward to changing another anytime soon with how hard it was to access (very bruised and scratched hand and forearms lol) but all worth the trouble with how it drives now
The diaphragm is attached to a plate on the bottom of the cylinder head with all the egr pipes, air intake, brake lines, master cylinder, bulkhead etc etc in the way

Oh and I smashed the cat internals out the other morning, sounds quite beefy now :p
Job for this week is finding somewhere to subtly mount a boost gauge, as running the high boost map file with no way to monitor whats going on concerns me
RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi - ozonehostile - 10-02-2015
The newfound torque has been eating my bottom engine mount to the point where the engine was rocking back and rubbing on the heater matrix pipes, powerflex mount purchased and fitted today, much better now

RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi - titch - 11-02-2015

I heard there was problems with them rapidly deteriorating, but from the looks they solved that issue with the metal washers

i wouldn't count on it, i had 3 on the 306 and the two later ones had the big washers.

RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi - ozonehostile - 11-02-2015
Oh right, I'll certainly keep an eye on it as I have the car on the ramp several times a month usually haha
RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi - titch - 11-02-2015
Yeah i would, they will replace it no problem, but i got fed up with changing it every month, but i might of just been unlucky.
RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi - ozonehostile - 13-02-2015
Wallowy suspension was becoming a bit of a problem on faster roads, felt pretty unstable over 70mph so it was time for the ozonehostile running gear treatment:

Got the car on the ramp, wheels off and out with the tin of penetrative oil, front struts off and immediately found one of the issues once the strut top was out

Probably the worst bearing I've ever seen haha.
Gave the metal spring cups a cleanup with the wire brush and painted, probably little benefit but nice to look at lol

Swapping dust covers and bumpstops trimmed to the new ride height over to the Bilstein shocks

Something very satisfying about new suspension parts

Rear suspension was a bit of a pain, have to remove the boot lining to get to the top of the shocks and incredibly fiddly to get the rear springs in with such a tight space to try get the spring compressor in but a few minutes of swearing and lever bars they were in

feels like a proper gt car to drive now, much firmer but still smooth, nice and flat around corners and feels much more stable than it did on the 170k old shocks it was on.
Picture of the new ride height once the springs have settled

Aha not quite yet, want to sort out some mint bumpers next and got the rear arb bushes to change as there's still a knock
RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi - ozonehostile - 15-02-2015
New issue, chronic heat soak
So biggest dilemma now, less boost or bigger intercooler :p
RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi, mapped and lowered - ozonehostile - 26-02-2015
All is well with the coupe recently, only hiccup I've had was a broken abs sensor wire causing the dash to light up like an xmas tree driving home one afternoon, the wire had come out of the clip on the hub and was rubbing on the tyre.
Thought it deserved a proper valet since its been so well behaved

Since the remap its being returning a steady 42.2mpg over two full tanks, pretty happy with that considering I was struggling to get more than 20mpg with the leaking diaphragm issue
RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi, mapped and lowered - silverzx - 26-02-2015
So it would fek a 306 GTi6 over? As thats the typical bench mark when tuning HDi/XUD's.

Hmm it would be close up to about 80mph but I think the 6 would pull ahead slightly every gear and stay there, coupe has an extra 400kg or so over a 306
RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi, mapped and lowered - Matt-Rallye - 27-02-2015
I think you havent driven your 6' in too long zakk
Unless you have over 200bhp in a dirty derval you shouldnt be anywhere near a healthy gti6, i have proved that enough times

Why not strap a HX35 to the GTi6?

Nice enough not to have a 306

For the same reason it hasn't got throttle bodies yet, shit job with shit pay

Had a day on the coupe to sort some niggely bits, first up rear anti roll bar bushes and the problems I encountered from the last monkey that bodged them together rather than replacing a £6 Bush

So that was fun....
Then set about the usual ozonehostile rust prevention stuff

RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi, mapped and lowered - ozonehostile - 27-04-2015
Took the coupe along to pugrun on the weekend since the gti6 wasn't roadworthy, but I certainly enjoyed it!
Nothing to report problem wise with the rolling armchair, still on the lookout for a crack free pair of bumpers but nothing urgent. Just nice to have something where everything works and drives as it should.
Picture from the way home (450 miles in total averaging 43mpg)

Your car looked good on the A34 on the way home mate. Wish I'd got the camera on slightly quicker.

Need something a bit more resistant to heat than copper grease as it only lasts a couple of weeks lol

RE: Peugeot 406 coupe hdi, mapped and lowered - Poodle - 28-04-2015
Can you still get anti-squeal shims from peugeot for this? Failing that some proper brake grease should help.
