Hi Ikenna,

I commend you for the wonderful job and selfless service you've been rendering to nairalanders. Gob Bless U Bro.

I'm having some issues with my 406 D9.

Firstly, when I start up my engine in the morning, and try to rev it sounds a little odd (to me) until the engine warms up. I only notice this when †̥hε̲ car engine has been off for a long period. Is this a cause for alarm?

Secondly, in the past week my air bag light was flashing intermittently and is now permanently on. Any quick fix regarding this (maybe some things I need to check before going to scan my lion?).

Thirdly, my ABS lights have been permanently on for a while. I scanned it and it complained of the passenger rear sensor which I got my mechanic to clean. However the light remains on (haven't gone back to scan it). Do I need to clear the fault with a scanner before it resets or does it clear off automatically?

I love my lion, that car is a monster on the road. I also noticed that at a speed of 110km/h it seems to move faster than other cars @ the same speed. Is it just my imagination.

Thank you.

1. You need a PP2000 scan to tell what the cause is. It could be permanent or intermittent fault which generic scanner wont see.

2. There is no quick fix on this until you detect the cause, which likely is trigger 1 or trigger 2 under the two front seats. You need PP2000 to find out the cause.

3. You need to erase the fault on ABS/ESP ECU with PP2000 first. I am not sure it goes off automatically.

4. I think its just your imagination. Lol!

Ikenna

Thanks for the prompt response Ikenna.

Just in case. If I find out it's trigger 1 or trigger 2, how do I fix the problem.

Will get the car scanned soonest.

It means you wont have to replace anything. But the two fronts seats will have to come down for the repair to be carried out. A simple fix but not funny while at it.

But you need to find out the cause first. It could be connectors under those seats or COMM2000.

PEUGEOT OWNERS MEET: ABUJA.

Its happening this Saturday!





Ikenna

Oga IK,

Is it possible to have the proceeds of the meeting in an electronic form? For the benefits of those of us not near Abuja.

RedReact: Oga IK,

Of course, its possible. Though, I am not sure i can arrange that before the first meeting. But will do my best in subsequent ones.

Ikenna

Hope to meet you guys at the Meet tomorrow morning.

Ikenna

Oboi this 406 na car o, all hail 406 king of the road

I recently acquired a Tokumbo 406 D8, I still own a peugeot 406 2001 model. What I realised in this particular D8 is that instead of the rev meter, you have an analog clock there in it's place. What does this mean?

Can you snap and attach instrument panel picture?

Here it is

LegatusGlaber:

Hmm! First time i am seeing a D8 without tachometer. Could you post or send me the VIN to confirm it was factory fitted.


Ikenna

The Peugeot Owners Meet in Abuja went well today. Looking forward for next Saturday meet.

I will do that tomorrow. However, what is the implication if its not factory fitted?

LegatusGlaber:

As long as the connection was properly done, i dont think there should any problem.

Will get back to you on the factory confirmation.

Thank you very much for your time. patiently waiting

I forgot to mention.

After the Lion owners meeting yesterday, i drove to a Business partners house for another brief meeting, entirely off Car thing. Lol!

But i got shocked with what i saw and heard when i entered their house. They were having kind of family reunion thing. My Business partner has 407 V6, which i knew already. But i saw Lions everywhere in the compound. When i asked how come, he started pointing at them one after the other saying, " This one belongs to my mother, this 2 belongs to my elder brother, etc. As if that was not enough, when i met the elder brother, he said he plans to add 407 V6 phase II to the 2 Lions he already own, after seeing what his brother's 407 V6 could do, probably.

Honestly, I used to think na only me be Lion freak. But that yesterday, i met Lion freak family. Lol! In fact, it was really a big Lions family reunion, with my presence there as well.

Thanks brother. Can the tachometer be replaced? BTW, aside this, the lion is serving me well like the senior lion I still own although the fuel economy is better than the senior lion.

Hi All,

Quite a very long time, I guess I just disappeared.

Sure also nobody missed me cos I was a new member before I vanished again.

Long story short, I was involved in an accident, not with my 406 but with my Honda CBR600Fv/F3 Power bike. Thank God am still alive and very well now.

rapzy

@ Ikenna:

Sorry for not sending the electrical contact cleaner as promised, I actually got them but then the accident happened.

I still have them if you are still interested, could send them sometime this month.

Hope its been all good with you and the rest.

Have a great day!!

Yes, you actually did disappeared. I tried to reach in several ways, but no response from you.

Actually, I missed you because I was hoping to get the Electric contact cleaner from you. Lol!

Sorry about the accident. We didnt know. If I had your phone number, I probably would have known, because i have most of house members phone numbers, we discuss offline and always in touch. Hope you are well now to drive your Lion and still enjoy all the goodies life offers?

How did you solve the Immobilizer issue with the Lion?

Please, I am still very much interested. I dont know why the damn thing is not available in Abuja.

Would really appreciate it when i lay my hands on the can. But take your time to send it/them.

Well, as you can see in the thread, we are doing fine. In fact, these days, we talk more off the forum. Its been a big happy family.

Ikenna

A lot of people have been calling, wanting to purchase Diagbox (PP2000 & Lexia3). A Diagbox dealer sent me 1 yesterday, incase anyone in Abuja needs it.

So, if you are interested, you can come for it. Luckily, its has the latest version of interface and software that works with windows 7 32 bit. Also gathered it can work with windows 8 32bit as well. So no need for the old windows xp.

Ikenna

Also, I have been buying Peugeot parts and sending to different parts of the country for house members. But to make it easier for me and for the parts to get to you faster & safer, find out for me Transport companies in your locality that do courier services as well, that have branch in Abuja. Because I would rather go to their Abuja branches, any time of the day, register and send those parts, than Driver arrangment. The "Driver arrangement" thing is not my thing; not comfortable with it, since its not guaranteed the parcel or parts will reach the receiver/owner.

Ikenna

I have been receiving calls from people, asking i locate a 406 V6 for them for purchase. On my way home from work this evening, i spotted one. A D9 V6. But i didnt stop to check the transmission and the rest. I couldnt tell from behind the wheels whether it was tokunbo or Nigerian used. But it has no number plates on it.

So if you are in Abuja and you are interested, the Lion is in front of ASD Motors, Area 10, where dealers sells tokunbo Lions.

D9 V6 is a rare car to find. I knew what i went through before i got mine. So...

Ikenna

I bought 10pcs of the stuff but used 4 already, will make it up back to 10 and send.

I posted long ago that the BSI reset worked for me.

Will give you a call once am set.
