This is a good question and if Your looking to buy a 406 V6 Coupe - Year 2000 model, I�d say it would be well worth getting a 210bhp, against a 194bhp model. Though I can�t comment on how much different the extra 16 bhp makes, it does according to the government figures improve the fuel economy by nearly 2 mpg�.

Externally, it�s very difficult to tell what engine is under the bonnet of the Coupe, except the older 2.0 Engines only had 205 width tyres fitted, instead of the R16 215 x 55 tyres fitted to the V6.

The Parker�s Guide states Feb 2000 for the 210 bhp engine - But as cars are made & not necessarily registered straight away�

According to My Peugeot Manual the following two V6 Engines exists:

Type �8CXFZ� 194bhp

Type �8CXFX� 210bhp

So when Your looking at V6 models, by looking under the bonnet, the first thing You should spot is the chrome �V6� badge on the top of the Engine. Then on the driver�s side of the Engine, theirs a small plate fixed on the side of a housing, on My 210bhp engine it reads: �XFX PSA� Plus the bottom line of the Vin plate, (also under the bonnet) reads: �8CXFXA�

Reading some of the older questions on this site, some the owner�s of the 2.0 litre models seem to be looking for ways of getting more power from there engines. Though I tried the new�sh petrol 2.2 litre 160bhp Engine in the Coupe, I�d recommend the V6 every time, as it has the get up & go that You�d expect from such a good looking car. Though the mpg is another story � You may post the question if You wish ;-)
