Automatic transmission problems, engine oil leaks, electrical problems (central locking, electric windows), suspension wear (especially rear), and air conditioning failures.
Suspension and brake wear are common causes for WOF failure. Headlight alignment is another item to consider.
If you're considering a PEUGEOT 406, be mindful of a few key maintenance aspects that can enhance your experience. Regular checks of the automatic transmission (if equipped) are essential to ensure smooth gear transitions. Common maintenance intervals suggest examining the hydraulic system for leaks, especially around 150,000km, where the cooling system is often due for inspection. Essential components like the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses should be carefully checked to prevent potential overheating issues. This naturally links to our Cooling category.
Another area that needs attention is the braking system. Regular brake service can prevent deterioration in performance, ensuring you're safe on the road. Our Braking service package offers critical components that help maintain your vehicle's braking integrity.
Finally, don’t overlook the significance of air and oil filter replacements to keep your engine performing at its best. Neglecting these may lead to engine wear or reduced efficiency, especially in older vehicles like the 406. Explore our Filtration products for easy replacements.
