It is an Auto. The gentleman before me bought replacement parts and started working on it before he dropped it off at his buddies place with the intent to finish it. But it sat long enough he figured it was easier just to sell it in place then try to either finish it where it sat or deal with trailering it to his home in Wisconsin.

Welcome to the forums! Looks like a project, but hopefully it cleans up nicely. 5sp or auto? Rabin

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night to whenever yall read this. I am the soon to be new owner of a 1985 505 S that has been living under a tarp for the last 3 years due to what I suspect is a combination of Vacuum leaks and fuel issues. Hopefully it will not take the rest of my hair to be able to put this car back onto the road. From what I have found, this car was imported into Canada and the previous owner brought it here to the states. Has about 36k original miles or 62k kilometers.

Just sold my Peugeot this afternoon. Thanks for your interest. I am trying to figure out how to remove the post or mark it sold.

how much for this beauty call me asap 347-917-4585 sel

The force limiting valve arrived today! Now waiting for Ray to arrive in a few weeks.....

Ray has come through with even more! Thanks!

Inspired by the third (!!!) attempt at making new brake lines but this time using original fittings that actually seal the lines to the cylinders, I decided to get a new rear proportioning valve from TealMaxLion in France. The prices are high but the stuff is good. I bought a NOS one about 6 years ago and I dismantled it and man was it rusted inside. So when the new lines are made again, I will have new rear cylinders, new proportioning valve, front cylinders that are in good condition, new master cylinder and rebuilt Hydrovac.

Looking good!

Took the project car out for the first time this year with my son — grabbed a few pics too!

Thanks!

I spent a little bit of time the other day looking for some of these flare nuts for you, Mike.. The picture tells the story: On the left we have a couple which have been replaced at some time in the past. Whether or not they were supplied as genuine Peugeot spares or not I don't know, but I'd suspect they were. Note that they have the unthreaded nose section and these have been used with a replacement tube made from copper. The next four are from assorted bits I have lying around, all are identical with ⅜" UNF threads and 10mm hexes: the first (going from left to right) is from the line screwed into the flexible hose of a disc brake line, the others next two are from the line between the limiting valve and the left hand wheel cylinder, the other from another rear axle line. The three interlopers to the top right are from a Dodge rear axle, so they have the ⅜" hex as well as the same ⅜" UNF thread as the others. I've come to the conclusion that the best place to source good quality used ones would be from the line which joins the two wheel cylinders inside the front brakes, these would have been protected from most evils and are probably easy to undo. But the only ones of these I have (these days) are on the two cars and aren't for dismantling. I'll shake my old memory banks up to see if I can work out where there might be some that I can access in the shor time between now and when I leave.

Finally got around to working on this one again, turns out it was pretty much the same issue as the first car; Alternator/voltage regulator fried and also fried the ignition ECU as well. This was difficult to diagnose as the coil driver module was also a dud (previous owner had put a new one in that was already dead), but I didnt suspect it for the longest time because it looked brand new. After swapping parts with the good black car, found out the issues. Ordered 3 more times new ignition drivers from rock auto and they were all dead right out of the box. I though I was going crazy drying to diagnose it. My only explanation is that they were probably returned as duds before and I got the bottom of the barrel so to speak. Anyways got it all fixed and running and the car is almost perfect. Only outstanding issue is the auto transmission slips a lot under load. I changed the fluid once now and the stuff that came out was very burnt. Hoping a few more flushes and idling around the driveway will clear things up. Either way the car is now posted for sale!

Has anyone found a source or a substitute rubber surround for the front wind screen?

Anyone in the US still interested in 505's? Located near Greenville, South Carolina, I am the original purchaser of this 1987 V-6 STX with manual 5-Speed. I have kept this vehicle in my warehouse for the last several years, taking it out for short drives every few months. When I last parked the car, it was running perfectly. I let it sit several months and when I went to crank it, apparently the timing tensioner had failed and it bent several valves. Engine work is not in my wheelhouse so I decided to let it go to a new owner with that skill set. It will not run and currently has spark plugs out and valve covers removed. All pistons are moving but no compression is several cylinders. It has 165,000 original miles (by memory, need to confirm), the exterior is close to flawless and the leather and interior is just ok for its age. No rust and has never been in any type of accident, no dents. I have not done much to the interior. The only other issue I am aware of is the clutch slave cylinder needs repair. Everything else is original, including the clutch. This group knows more about values than I so it is up for reasonable offers. I would just like to see it go to a good home! I would also consider keeping it if someone has a working or conversion engine for sale.

I ran into a pretty similar situation a while back with an older vehicle I had — the locks were being stubborn, and no matter what I tried, I just couldn’t get the door to open properly. One of the locks would turn slightly, but nothing would actually unlock. It was super frustrating. I ended up calling a professional locksmith who specialized in car issues, and honestly, they were a lifesaver. They had the right tools and knew exactly how to deal with the problem without damaging anything. If you’re in a similar bind, I’d recommend getting in touch with a trusted expert. You can check out Value Signature Locksmith — they’ve been super helpful and reliable in my experience. They offer a variety of locksmith services and could definitely point you in the right direction.

For anything that isn't a PRV you need another bellhousing. Jeep had a 4.0 L6 bellhousing that should also fit the AMC V8. If you can't find a ZN3J or a Volvo B280 try to get your hands on a 3.0 Eagle Premier engine.

Have my one owner 505 with a PVR V-6 up for sale due to an all of a sudden bent valves from a timing chain tensioner failure. Haven't had much response on selling it with a non running engine so now I am considering a motor swap. Not a new topic but I would appreciate info if there is something that will fit up to my bell housing (5-speed manual) 4 Cylinder is fine, something simple, not looking for performance upgrade, just want it back on the road! Any help is appreciated

These are much better diagrams than the (next to useless) ones from the Haynes manual - I have a suspicion that they might have come from Peugeot USA's official service literature - if anyone's lucky enough to have a copy to compare them against, I'd be interested to know if that's true.

Hey guys, been way too long since I've had an update here. I've been working on my latest Lotus Esprit project, but it should be wrapping up soon. I have also since picked up another Peugeot 405, details will be shared soon, as there will be some work to be done on it as well...

How many psi resists 84 505 xd2-s 147 turbo diesel engine handle and how many factory psi?

thanks for the advice, hopefully someone might have one, i guess luckily for me the abs system had been removed long ago on this car so that kind of makes things easier.

I had the non ABS V6 (505 GLX) and it also had the open diff as well. I have the same STX V6 now with auto, an similarly has the open diff. Hoping once my daughter is comfortable driving and has her license, I can 5sp swap it. Rabin

I just found out that the V6 existed with and without ABS so maybe they had the regular LSD and not the Torsen.

505’s with ABS got an open diff like he has now. IIRC only the 505 Turbo’s with ABS got the Torsen differential, possibly only in 1989 as well. Rabin
