Peugeot 406 Clutch and DMF Replacement | Front wheel drive clutch change

Replacing a Clutch and DMF on a 2002 Peugeot 406 2.0 HDi 110.

With 406 HDi's the main difference in the 90 and 110 is the DMF (Dual Mass Flywheel) there is also the BE gearboxes mated to the 90, and the ML gearbox with the reverse up to the left of first fitted to the 110.

The car seems to have been driving with its original clutch and DMF, ive had it since 88,000 miles and the DMF has on some occasions made the odd noise, but more recently after some towing the car started to make a high pitched squealing noise the release bearing started to fail and the clutch was slipping. The car kept going but then one day the clutch pedal jammed and would not press down. 149,000 miles on a clutch is not bad. There isnt a huge difference in price between a DMF and conversion kit to a solid flywheel so a DMF was refitted.

It should be the same process on 90bhp 406's but possibly they should be a bit cheaper to get the parts for and the push type cluch would be easier to release.

Im not sure weather id call this an easy DIY job, i did it over the weekend. The lift and transmission jack makes it a lot easier.

This should apply to 406 coupes aswell fitted with the 2.2 HDi, most other cars in the PSA range with the 2.0 engine or older XUD are most likely similar to this.
