All turbo-diesels worth their salt have an intercooler fitted as standard. The 406 HDI definately has one. If the engine feels flat, which it shouldn't do, then there is probably a fault. I haven't driven an HDI but past Peugeot TD's have been flyers.

Hey readers !
Ive found that the floor mat was caught under the throttle pedal and preventing full bore acceleration, I only got the car last friday ( 20 000 on clock ) but now the offending mat has been removed, it goes like a tomcat with a firework up its ar*e
I had a Rover 420 GSDI immediately before which was a fair bit quicker but much less refined.
why are petrol engines still popular ???????

I have a Tuning Box on my Focus Tdi. It gives a claimed extra 22bhp & proportional torque increase.
The performance is transformed, and it has the advantage over 'chipping' of being easy to remove (20 mins for the Focus) for servicing or sale.
Highly recommended - and the importer is a very helpful fellow, too!

There are two variants of the 2.0 HDi, both have a turbo, the 90BHP lacks
the intercooler of the 110BHP version.
AFAIK you can get either version with the 406, but only the 90BHP with
the 306.
This compares with 92BHP from pre-96 1.9 XUD9T or 90BHP from the
post-96 version.
