i have a peugeot 406 2lt diesel , i went to the car earlier and my electronic immobiliser warning light is on ? what can i do

Coild very well beshhsjsjsjjxjdj

ZF is good trans- but if you continue to or have been using it- with problems, you may as well pull it & rebuild it I would hope you checked for codes OBD 1 maybe that won't happen On the internet is a lot of info Google the trans Google questions Go to You Tube Video-I have watched hours of trans rebuilds & what your asking there I once owned a trans shop I have no info on your car or know what if any electrical or electronics are involved But from what your saying & my experience with lesser quality trans than yours,I think it has to come apart Could try cleaning the valve body If it has been in service for 10 years or more & a 150,000 miles pull it No fluid changes every 3 years,it's toast

(USA) ah, but are here. http://www.scribd.com/doc/25423642/Peugeot-Engine-Code-Reference-List XU5 or XU9 something are the engine, codes. wiki: ,see bold , I added. The 405 was available as a 4-door only. Four-cylinder petrol engines included 65, 92, 110, 125, and 160 hp (48, 69, 82, 93, and 119 kW) units. A 1.8-litre diesel engine, with or without a turbo (70 and 90 hp (52 and 67 kW)) was added to the range during 1988 as was the 5-door estate. the 405 ended in USA in 1991. The 405 range included three petrol engines and two diesel engines, all four-cylinder with no 6-cylinder option, in a variety of states of tune and specification. The range was tailored to suit different export markets. The 1.6-litre saloon featured a low drag co-efficient of Cd=0.29, with other models varying up to Cd=0.33. The 1.4-litre (1,360 cc) engine was fitted with a four-speed manual gearbox. It produced 70 hp (52 kW) at 5600 rpm. The 1.6-litre (1,580 cc) engine was fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox and produced 92 hp (69 kW) at 6000 rpm. The 1.9-litre (1,905 cc) engine was available with a five speed manual gearbox, with an option of an automatic in the lower powered version. The 8-valve version of the engine was available in two levels of tune; 110 hp (82 kW) or 125 hp (93 kW). A 16-valve version was available with the Mi16 model and this produced 160 hp (120 kW) at 6500 rpm and could reach a top speed of 220 km/h.[4]

Renew the PCV valve first to see if it is OK. if not, check the cam timing to see if the cam belt is fixed properly.

I have 1996 Peugeot 406 (1.8 16v) and it's ignition coil pack was broken and the starting was difficult when the car was warm.  

No, the size of the cars is different, so it wont work.

Wheel bearing or wheel cylinder.

Comon for fans to die on Peugeots of this age,check fan speeds with everything else off. Otherwise an air block stopping water getting to heater. Bleed water system

hi there all u need to do is hold on reset button just under mileage clock with the ignition off,then switch on ignition to second turn and you will see mileage clock count down from 10 but keep button held in untill countdown finishes and thats it.

your ecu monitor.. emissions control unit mod is done! i dont think this is a cheap fix. either wait for warmer weather,, sell the car or find a dealer to fix this diesel puppy...word of advice .. dont buy peugeot in this country .. or any country...joke.!!

Hi Chris
Is there plenty of fluid for the nrakes? they should have little wires coming from the brake pads , normally once you have replaced the pads this light would go out automatically.

It may not be your pads that triggered the light.

Hope this helps

The head gasket has gone, is it a 1,6 1.8 petrol? if so its the most common fault on that car. best way to tell pull the dipstick up and look at the very bottom if it looks creamy white then its the head gasket, also open the oil cap and look inside the head and on the cap any white creamy sludge means there is water in the oil, "head gasket"

Hope this helps

As the car was at 98 you will have warped the cylinder head so will need skimming costing £40 new head gasket fitted is about £170 do it your self for about £80

firstly you need to check the coolant level and make sure there are no air bubbles in the cooling circuitsecondly the thermostat could be damaged and stays in the closed positionthirdly the cooling radiator could be clogged and it must be flushed or replacedyou have to take into accont that it could be a faulty message sent by faulty temperature sensor or bad connector of the senserso you need to open the hood and decide, is the engine very hot or is it normal but still the fan is on
