Peugeot 406
Hi,
I have a 1997 Peugeot 406 ST petrol car. I changed the timing belt (through a Mechanic) last year and since then the oil consumption is way high. Roughly it consumes 1.5 litres for every 1300 miles. Another thing which I have noticed is when the oil level is low, ( at the lower mark of the oild indicator in the engine) the power on the engine is high and when I topup the oil there is a significant reduction in the power. At the moment I am using Castrol 10W 40 oil. There is no blue smoke. Any advise in this regards is greatly appreciated. Wit regards, ASIV

Re: Peugeot 406
Have you checked for Oil leaks??? That is always the first place to look- if none come back and we'll go from there

Hi Jimster,
There is no oil leak. Also I checked for smoke through the oil fill cap by removing the oil cap with the engine running. There was no smoke comming out that way. When I raced the engine, few drops of oil were splashing through the oil cap. Also milage on the engine is 58100 miles. Thanks. With regards, ASIV
