Hi there, New on here so here goes :?
I've just bought one of the apparently rare 406 family 7 seaters, and although it's a 1.8 petrol it was cheap enough so I wasn't too bothered, and bought it anyway :wink: .
Thing is, in assuming the 1.8 petrol would cost more to fuel than the 2.0HDi that I've previously been accustom to, I wouldn't mind it being a Hdi, if it wouldn't be too much of a pain to convert.
Oh, and I have a spare 406 2.0HDi sitting bored that wouldn't mind being the proud donor.
Obviously anything is possible, but would this conversion be viable?(considering time and hassle)
What parts would I need to transplant other than the obvious?
e.g. would the loom be a minefield, or would the engine loom and ECU etc move across nicely with the engine, plug in and still operate ?
Has anyone who may have completed this task, any advice to give?
How does the fuel consumption of the 1.8 petrol compare to that of the 2.0 HDi? (ie. is it even worth bothering?)
Thanks
