hi Steve, may be worth trying preloved.com site, as there should be a
handful of v6 owners there?
Caffyns, where are you, South East UK?

Subject: [Peugeot-L] 406 coupe v6 intermittent problem
> I've got a 98 406 coupe - 3.0 v6 manual. great car.
>
> bought it 3 years ago, and there has been an intermittent problem
> which has been getting progressively worse.
>
> basically, from time to time the car will stop pumping fuel for a very
> small amount of time - say a few seconds. really quite violent stop -
> as if the fuel pump has halted. then it comes back fine.
> the car has had about 60 hours of diagnostics at caffyns peugeot, and
> they can't find any faults.
>
> it gets worse though, the problem gets more frequent - e.g. every few
> minutes instead of every few days. then the car just stops completely.
> usually when I'm driving at full-pelt down the motorway, resulting in
> a freewheel into the hard-shoulder.
>
> once it's stopped it will not restart - again as if the fuel pump has
> gone. I get the orange engine-management problem light coming on.
>
> I disconnect the battery - by removing postive terminal - alarm goes
> off. reconnect battery - alarm still goes off. alarm will not turn off
> at all now - even with key.
> but, the engine works again. eventually after about 10 mins the alarm
> will stop its noise - really very anonying.
>
> the problem is that it's an intermittent problem and that I cannot get
> the car to the garage whenever it does happen, and they cannot
> reproduce it.
>
> the ECU doesn't store any faults.
>
> could this be a faulty ECU? - that's my gut feeling.
> has anyone experienced or heard of anything similar to this before?
