2.2HDi coupe - Dum-Dum - 06-02-2013
So as you all know, last Wednesday (30/01/2013) I bought myself an absolute dog of a Peugeot 406 2.2 HDi Coupe in Satellite Grey. Its absolutely top spec with heated electric leather seats, sat nav, brembos and climate control as well as a load of other toys.
Its got a few issues that im getting through.
Its leaking oil from the turbo return and PAS fluid from one of the connections on the rack but its going into limp mode with an antipollution fault that is hopefully FAP related as well as having ABS/ESP/ASR issues that arent sensors as Ive replaced all the ones it claimed were dead (it seems to be having in issue getting a signal from the rear sensors)
Anyway a few pics from when I got it.
Im really not gonna like filling it up. The photo below from about an 8th of a tank left FML.
Anyway shortly after buying it I paid TB205GTi to write me a stage 1 map and DPF removal. I went to the garage and smashed out the DPF then put it on the dyno and it showed 168bhp and 285lb/ft with a little smoke. It was the most powerful Peugeot of the day. The graph below only shows 166bhp because it has a better shape to the curve.
On the day I bought it I picked up a set of Peugeot "Magnetik" wheels from a 5008, theyer 18"x7" and ET29. I gave them a good wash yesterday and theyer almost brand new (some of the date stamps are December 2011 so only 13 months old)
I also gave the car a wash and a wax when I did the wheels and hit some of the worse scrapes with some t-cut
I then got a chance to test fit the wheels at the back (they wont go over the brembos at the front). Think Im gonna go for 20mm front spacers and 25mm rear.
Heres a terrible photoshop
Last night I took her out for a few photos.
Oh and a couple form Ace Cafe when I popped in for lunch the other day.
The plans are fix whats wrong with her, get the new wheels fitted and FK coilovers, replace the bumpers and dented wing for some in better condition then hopefully tuning for a nice round 200bhp.

Be nice when you've got those wheels and coilies on its looking very standard and sensible at the mo! I'm impressed with the power it puts out I never knew the 2.2's were that powerful, suprising there isn't a load of people converting their hdi 306's.

Yeah apparently TBs full fat stage 1 is about 190bhp but then they do have a FMIC, bigger pump and better injectors as standard.
Cant wait for coilies.
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - Scott - 06-02-2013
Will you be going for a stud and nut conversion or just spacers?
It'll look much better on coilovers
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - Birk - 06-02-2013
Looks pretty cool.
I've been thinking about getting the normal estate version in a 2.2 hdi, what's it like with the new map?

Probably just hubcentrics (bolt spacer to hub then wheel to spacer type) as that type are starting to look like the best buy again.
Cant wait to sell the sedan as thatll pay for the coilovers.

TBH my experience with the new map might not be the best as the car has some issues but its pretty rapid (not stage 2 306 hdi fast though) and the response dosent feel amazing, sorta have to wait for the turbo to spool but if you can keep it on boost with the stupidly long gears it hauls arse. Its like a GTi6 in that for some tight corners you have to drop down to 1st gear.
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - ozonehostile - 06-02-2013
bet itl be a bitch finding a new front wing, but still, its definatly gonna look 1000000000000000x better with different wheels and coilys
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - Midnightclub - 06-02-2013
Chris, there's a silver coupé in the scrappy down here, think the wings are pretty decent nick..
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - sam - 06-02-2013

Also pics and condition of bumpers please (and what year of car). Cheers mate.

Keeping them unless someone offers me good money as they have winter tyres on at least 2 of them.
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - sam - 06-02-2013
How much do you want for them?
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - C.A.R. - 07-02-2013
There's a wing on eBay at the moment.
Body panels for the 406 Coupé from Peugeot are ridiculously expensive, which is part of the reason they have such a high insurance group. Minor bump = write off, purely because of the cost of replacement parts.
Lovely looking cars though, will look good on the 18s. Never knew they had quite such a huge tank either!
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - Jenkosowls - 07-02-2013
Search for ade1122 on eBay all he does is breaks 406 copes up and is highly regarded in the 406 coupe scene there won't be a part he hasn't got
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - Just Sean - 07-02-2013
Chris, im in weston from the 23rd to the 28th if danny gets that wing. im closer than danny to you. Im of on the 2nd march though so you'll have to come quick if i can be a help?

Definitely itching to get the wheels and coilovers on as its gonna look epic as long as I get the spacing right. 20F and 25R are the sensible options but really tempted by 25F and 30R

Sounds about right scott, then there's the Pininfarina badges, make sure that if you do crash, you don't lose one of them!

RE: 2.2HDi coupe - KrisB - 07-02-2013
Nice... injectors leaking yet? Black death?
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - Eeyore - 07-02-2013
2.2Hdi in the scrappers near me. its the black edition
ive been trying to save it for weeks now as its one of only 125 ever made! Police never replied about if i could buy it off them and the scrappers keep saying it belongs to the police and once it is sold to them they have to scrap it as it has been seized
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - Dum-Dum - 09-02-2013
Arse! Went to Nialls and had the DPF ecu turned off and the engine warning light went off and stayed off till about 2 miles from home when it decided to come back. After alot of reading I think this is a boost/vac problem. Basically the car will have a vac leak somewhere and because of this the vac actuator on the turbo dosent work properly causing the car to read too much boost and go into panic mode. It only does this in the upper gears as thats the only time im on boost for long enough for it to decide that theres definitely a problem.
Gonna speak to TB about getting the air dossers, egr and possibly swirl flaps mapped out so that I can remove them and make it much easier to re hose the vac system.
Also while i was at Nialls we tried telling it didnt have an ABS/TC ECU to clear those faults but it didnt like that.
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - rd070707 - 09-02-2013
Is the boost controlled by solenoid valves on these the same way as it is on the 2.0 hdi 110?

Yep by f*cking hundreds of them.
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - Dum-Dum - 21-02-2013
So on my way back from Ace Cafe and Leake Street on Monday night (well Tuesday morning) the car suddenly felt a little bit wrong, more than usual. Decided to carry on home at a slower speed as i was only a mile away and when i parked I could hear the hissing of air coming out of one of my F/N/S tyre.
When it was daylight I went out and found this.
No problems I'll swap for the spare and drive and get a part worn till the 18s go on. WRONG. The tyre was f*cked, missing 2 huge chunks of rubber and through to the cord (it was fine when i was underneath it a couple of weeks ago) Quite scary really as id been doing 80 about a minute earlier and just blasted through 4 roundabouts so really glad it didnt explode. Got the spare out, it was barely legal (some of it was less than 1.7mm) and it was missing a f*ck massive chunk of alloy.
Limped to the tyre place and got a part worn for 20 then got a £10 for weighing in the spare as wheels are round and the spare aint lol. To top it all of though the part worn has a slow puncture grrrrrrrrr.
The good news is the spacers will be here tomorrow or Monday so as long as its not snowing Ill probably get the 18s fitted.

f*ck knows, that one is the the spare, when id looked at when i bought it the spare was holding air and had tread so i didnt take it out to look at the face.

Oh well! Don't wanna run on that for any length of time then bud, get the 18"s on and be done! When's the coilees coming?

Im gonna need to save up for coilovers for a while i think as i dont want raceland ones.
Tempted to stick it on springs for a while but they wont go low enough for my liking.
2.2HDi coupe - Jonny b - 21-02-2013
I got some 40 mm spax 306 springs you can try ha ha if they fit you can have em
RE: 2.2HDi coupe - Dum-Dum - 21-02-2013
Its springs front and rear mate so Id still need rears.
Just had a look at ebay and springs are actually as much as cheap coilovers so Im just gonna save my money.
