Hi,

has anyone experienced a load bang during load changes,
e.g. releasing the clutch quickly, turns or changing forward to reverse?

It's a 2000 406 Coupe 6V.

TIA
Joachim Engel

Just a couple of guesses. Have you checked the engine mountings? And
possibly exhaust mountings?

Sounds like a mount some place gone or on its way going,

Sounds exactly like my 406 2.0 16V did a few weeks ago; replaced the torque
reaction arm on the top right hand engine mount because the rubber bush had
torn out; 35 quid from Peugeot!

Hi,

thanks for your answers.

It really has been one of the engine mounts.
Unfortunately the others will probably get broken in the near future, they
said.
The garage has also discovered faults on a shock absorber and the exhaust
pipe.

Best regards
