The car also had a remap (chiptuning) done by SKN and it is now running on 163 HP and 390Nm torque.

Later I also had the plastic trims painted to match the colour of the car.

Picture quality is bad as it was thaken with a mobile phone

Hello

Thank you.

I imported the car from Germany a year ago....bought it from a peugeot dealer (Löwen Centrum Dülmen)

My previous car was 307 and now for my 407 i have very good mechanics who work in an authorized maintenance shop, who have also been fixin my previous car.

Since my purchase I had to replace the EGR and ball joints.......i also celaned the fap as a precaution before I took the car to SKN for a remap.

 

[georgeslo]

After cleaning the fap looked like new

[Guivoit]

You're welcome georgeslo

Very nice 407 with some personal keys

 

[jurgen_s]

very nice 407!! I love the things you have done to it.

Small remark I have to make: beware that the original gearbox was designed only to withstand 370 nM of torque. I you have a good chip tuner he will get the 165 hp and still be under the 370 nM of torque

 

[georgeslo]

Firstly thank you all

@katsanset

The chrome exhaust tip is the part marked in the picture (this is strictly for styling as I decided not to go for a full sport exhaust). I bought it at al local exhaust dealer and it cost me 40€....it is welded to the orginal ehxaust box.

@fap74
Seeing your english is very good and my french is rubbish i would kindly ask you to clarify (translate) some things to your fellow forum members if they are not understandable.

@jurgen_s
From what i heard the problem is in the dmf(dual mass flywheel) and clutch (slipping issue) and not the gearbox itself, but thank you for the warning.....i shall forward this info to the tuning garage.....but as they are a worldwide renowned company i hope they know what they are doing.


Still in plan and the pictures will follow soon......fitting of Peugeot 307 alu pedals and footrest, cleaning the boot and fitting facelift backlights.

This is why I advice to continue your topic in english.

As we say ''learning by doing'', you will become fully fluent in french by spending time on this forum

Thanks for your answer, but i don't want to weld an exhaust tip because i don't know how to !

I continue my researches for having a cheap exhaust tip

have a nice day

 

[jurgen_s]

still, I'm finding the 165bhp to be 'low' compaired to the 390nM torque you get. I got 165 bhp with 'only' 365 nM of torque. 390 would have gotten me around 180-185 bhp.

Get yourself a good airfilter also: green has a speed-r twister specially for the 2 liter diesel in the 407. I've put in my 607 but needed to make some minor modifications. It improved the accelerator respons significantly.

 

[georgeslo]

Yes....sorry I forgot to mention that when I had the remap done I installed a replacement panel air filter by K&N. I did not want to go for the "open version" as the sound is not a factor when it comes to diesel engines

 

[jurgen_s]

the sound doesn't change because the turbo eats it away
