what you call Black engine is the : 1,8 16v PSA XU7 (JP)- 112ch
The silver engine is of 2 types: Ew7 & Ew10.

Question 2: Both are good if well maintained. However the Ew's are more powerful than the XU's.
Nigerians also prefer the Ew's that the one you call the silver engine

-XU(112ch)
-EW7(117ch)
-EW10(136ch)

I hope that answers your questions

Hi Ikenna, just read your comments on the 406 engines and all I must say I am impressed that you know so much about the 406, I drive a 1999 Peugeot 406 with the EW10 Engine, I bought the car and it was sent to me in Lagos from the UK, in 2009 and I had it converted for about 215k then, my contribution is simple, I still drive my 406 with the factory paint and ac working well, and all.... I've had the timing belt changed, and the stabilizer linkages changed now and again but basically the maintenance and gasoline consumption ain't bad at all....for a car that gives me so much confidence on the road, some times, I no wan know wetin you dey drive, so long as na our Nigerian roads, I'll race you. I love my 406. Good thinking, good product...

Thank you.

Total Quartz 9000 (5w40) or Quartz 7000 (15w50).

Recommended engine oil change interval is every 6 months(twice a year). If you do more of city driving, you can reduce it to 4 or 5 months.

Please advise me on things to do to keep the car in top shape.
Thank you.

Use Purflux LS867B oil filter in any of petrol engines in 406. Note that we have fake one that cost about N500. Buy the genuine one. You can also get the genuine one at some Total fuel stations.

As for how to keep your lion in good shape for good, you will need the "Cars with Attitude!" DVD. https://www.nairaland.com/1942595/dvd-how-prevent-breakdown-expensive

I serviced the car yesterday using Total quartz 9000 and purflux filter.
Don't know if i should change the timing belt now or wait a bit.

Whats the mileage?

Ikenna351:


Whats the mileage?

Ikenna

Mileage is just over 210,000km.

I have decided to change the timing belt, water pump and tensioner but my issue now is that will it affect the oil in the engine. Will changing the timing belt involve lifting the engine and draining the oil in the engine?

EW engine timing belt and its accessories has nothing to do with engine oil, because they are not inside the engine. So, go ahead and replace them and enjoy your lion.

The recommended change interval for your EW10 engine timing belt is every 80,000 km or every 4 years, whichever comes First.

I blew up my car engine yesterday on my way to an official assignment. It was obviously giving me signs but being a novice I didn't understand the implication. Cos like 15min bfore It went off it was saying 'Oil pressure low'.

The oil was dripping a day before, so I topped it with one litre tinking I could make it for the journey before visiting the mechanic, cos in my thinking it wasn't dropping much.

So painful sir...
Its an EW12 (going by ur discussions). Pls can it be repaired or is replacement my only option? And pls how much.

Thanks.

E0 engraved on cylinder head stands for EW10. So yes, they are correct.

For EW7, you will find E7. For EW12, you will find either E2 or E4.

Yes, you can. But if you are not a DIY person, I would recommend a 406 with XU, EW or ES engine for you, since you will be relying on Nigerian mechanics.
