406 2.1 TD Shut down

Roy said:

1997 406 2.1 TD travelling at 70 M.P.H. suffered total loss of power. No response from throttle (Initial thought was cam belt failure) Coasted to side of road. Lifted bonnet & turned key & engine started straight away. Suspect loss of electrics to pump but nothing obvious found. Any ideas?

Hi roy and welcome to the forum :yay2:

Intermittant faults are difficult to find out would really need to be checked by peugeot
Did the engine management light come on at all? The 406 had a recall for customers experiencing power loss,needed a software update (done under warranty) contact peugeot uk to find out if your car has had this done.
