Evening all - just got a 406GLXTD Estate '98 - a couple of things
Should the 406 have a sound deadening felt fitted under the bonnet ?
I have a 60MM dial gauge on the left hand side of the main dash display with a needle which goes from left to right on start up and then back to the left (indicated "off") and then doesn't move again - does anyone know what the dial is ?
Sometimes the tacho needle dies and then restarts - is this a sensor somewhere ?
Sorry but don't have a handbook or manual -- yet
Thanks

Hi Ross
The guage will be the oil level, it reads the oil level when the ignition is turned on and then goes off when the engine is started.

1. I cannot honestly remember. I think some do but I'm not sure.
2. Oil level check. That's normal. Lights up and reads level then goes out if you start the engine or wait a bit.
As its a GLX I bet the fuel gauge is in the middle and the temp on the right (or vice-versa) and the oil level is on the left as you say, has a kind of funny "f" on it.
3. It's probably the TDC sensor itself. This is accesible from above or below (slightly easier from below to be honest) although whip air piping out and you`ll see it sat in the top of the bell housing.
Replacements are not much new and they are difficult to 'test'. Most XUD's share the same one.
Inspect the wiring (follow it from the sensor back) for a multiplug if this has any corrosion in it clean it as it will do what you say if there's anything amiss. Check that the sensor is fitted nicely (caution: some have a plastic 'clamp' that is easily broken)
