Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

Question

Guys need some help on one of my colleague's car.
It's 2008 peugeot 407 diesel 1.6 manual.
Currently 110k kms with maintenance history throughout agents.
Turbo failure notice at 108k kms and he imported Garret branded one from UK and fixed.within 200kms it busted again.
Sent the sample for warranty claim and their diagnosis at UK shop was oil starvation.
While it arrives back . He fixed his original turbo after repaired locally by a reputed person with a genuine mallet repair kit. That one busted om few munites of first start.
Repair was done at a place of the current car mart senoir mechanic and as per ther tests,oil pressure was normal and anyway recon engine was put into car with new oil pump.the oil pressure was adequate as per their observations. And its 300 ml on one munite ideal to be precise.
After all this jumble the warranty turbo arrives after payment of 160 sterling pounds and fixed that with so called procedures from the garret agent, which lasted only another 1500kms.
Now he's in total darkness with total bill is reaching 800k.
The mechanic seems confident and dealt with known peugeots and does interestingly honest job.but fellow is clueless now.
Carmart was contacted and their recommendation is to replace engine with turbocharger again with brand new from them.
That's again another 1 million rupees plus.
Any clue guys?
