Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / November 2005406 heater
Can anyone tell me why the heater on my 2001 406 hdi 90 heats up so quickly, i'm not complaining, i'm just amazed and think there must be a heater heater ? - iyswim Regards Jeff >Can anyone tell me why the heater on my 2001 406 hdi 90 heats up so quickly, >i'm not complaining, i'm just amazed and think there must be a heater heater >? - iyswim > >Regards Jeff Yes there is an additional heater in the circuit. Either a box of "glowplugs" in the line to the matrix, fitted just above the gearbox, or more usually a sort of three bar element in the heater box itself. It is done because the HDI engine is so efficient and takes longer to get to running temp. >>Can anyone tell me why the heater on my 2001 406 hdi 90 heats up so quickly, >>i'm not complaining, i'm just amazed and think there must be a heater heater [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > It is done because the HDI engine is so efficient and takes longer > to get to running temp. I take it my 306 with the same engine doesn't have this luxury then? Does this apply to diesels only, or petrol as well and are we talking cabin heat or starting heaters. >>>Can anyone tell me why the heater on my 2001 406 hdi 90 heats up so >>>quickly, [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > I take it my 306 with the same engine doesn't have this luxury then? > Does this apply to diesels only, or petrol as well and are we talking cabin > heat or starting heaters. My question was about cabin heat ( from cold start, I get hot air in less than 1/4 mile this is before the engine temp gauge has even moved ) Thanks to nigel for confirmimg my suspicions Regards Jeff >> Does this apply to diesels only, or petrol as well and are we talking >cabin [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Regards Jeff And in reply to the others, it is only fitted on HDI's and I believe the 306 and 206 have them. That's the DW range of HDI's. I have no info on the newer HDI's (1.4 1.6 2.2 )
