Hi everyone,
First a hello and I can now breath a sigh of relief that I have found somewhere with folks who can perhaps help me with a little problem.
My mother has a Year 2000, Peugeot 406 1.8 16V with A/C and lives across the water in Northern Ireland. It developed a petrol leak which was diagnosed as fuel pipes 3 & 4 (of 8) which run between the fuel pump and the petrol tank.
A phonecall to Peugeot confirmed these parts are now obsolete! Aparently other models of 406 have similar parts which arent obsolete but her mechanic is reluctant to even attempt to use a different pipe incase in fails and causes a major fuel leak/fire.
Have any of you had any experience of this?
I have the full code for the parts (just not to hand) so is there a peugeot online parts catalogue that could be referred to?
Would it be possible to use a universal braded competition fuel line to replace these pipes?
Sorry if im grasping at straws - my mother is on her own, i live in England and her mechanic is as helpful as a chocolate fireguard. She has owned the 406 for 6 years, its low mileage and she loves it dearly. If we cant get this fiixed its going to end up being scrapped and she truthfully cant afford to replace it with anything decent at this moment.
If anyone can suggest a fix or perhaps someone to approach who might have overstock of old Peugeot parts, please feel free to post.
Many thanks for all help in advance.
