  • Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - 03 2.0 Engine Anti Pollution System Defective 1 Nov 2011 (Forum)
    sensor/cable was left unplugged but everything was fine. They dont have a diagnostic machine so cant diagnose the code. Mechanic thinks its becase of replacing the clutch and the code just needs re-setting or clearing from ECU but he hasnt equipment. Gonna take it to a diagnostic place on Monday
