Removing and replacing a COM2000 unit from a late Peugeot 406
This will apply to face-lifted 406's made after 2001 that featured the COM2000 combined indicator and wiper stalk assembly.
It was a part notorious for developing a floppy indicator stalk. Unfortunatley some try to fix this by fitting the unit from other PSA cars of this era (307, 407, Xsara Picasso) while the units removed from those cars fit and mostly work in the instance of this 406 the unit was not compatible with the automatic lights feature.
It is possible to simply disable auto lights and switch them on at the stalk, like a mere pheasant such inconvenience.
However i have been waiting for years to make this video, my own 406 had a brand new replacement valeo com2000 unit fitted in 2010 by a local mechanic before i started working on cars, any i have worked on since have been pre facelifts with the old separate stalk units.
