Does the 406 V6 suffer the same gearbox maladies as the Xantia V6 can? I know they're the same engine and box, but I believe from tireless research done by Simon and KP, among others that it's oil cooler issues that is the big worry. I imagine it gets full of external crud and stops cooling so well? Is the cooler in a similar place on the 406 and does anyone know if they suffer the same problems ?

Try over on here Mike, it's a wealth of knowledge. http://www.406coupeclub.org/PHPBB3/viewforum.php?f=22" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I stuck to a manual box myself and very happy I am with it too, infact I'm over the moon with the whole car as it's a pretty good package with surprisingly reasonable economy for what it is.
