  1. Hi everyone, haven`t posted in a while as i haven`t had any problems! Wanted to ask about my latest problem on my 1986 505 TD Xd3t engine please. She has been running fine for a long time but yesterday she started to play up. When driving along she goes fine when you start off under acceleration but when you hit the first stop of the day she loses rpm`s as you slow down and cuts out. When you start her again she won`t idle but if you push down on the acceleator she will keep running but when you move off again then slow down she dies again. Feels like a fuel problem as the engine is fine, valve adjustment good and no other problems. A new fuel filter was put in 1000 miles ago. The only thing i can add is that i thought it might be air in the filter/fuel line and pumped the button on top of the fuel filter after loosening the air bleed screw. Air bubbles kept coming out while i pumped and the thing that i noticed more was that diesel was coming out from the base of the black button that you have to pump to bleed the system of air- ! Any ideas on this one please?--If the diesel coming out from the base of the black button is wrong is it possible to fit a new diaphram underneath it as i assume that the old one is perished or do you have to buy a complete new filter unit?--Any advice much appreciated as always. Couple of pictures attached to show filter unit and black pump button on top!--Thanks--Jerro
  2. Well, all done! set all gaps on rockers, new rocker cover gasket, runs much smoother and starts way easier! thanks everyone, appreciate it----
  3. Ok, so it`s me again, i haven`t gone out of my mind (yet) but wanted to confirm which are intake and which are exhaust valves in my picture ( 2.5 -XD3T turbo diesel 1986) before i go ahead and adjust the valve clearances, just in case there is some strange Peugeot quirk where one is french and one is English. Am i right to say that in my photo, from the bottom of pic upwards the valves are --inlet--EXHAUST --EXHAUST--inlet --inlet--EXHAUST--EXHAUST-- inlet ? Looking at the manifolds this looks about right but i don`t want to blow it!---Thanks as always--Jerro
  4. Thankyou, thankyou and thankyou Rabin, appreciate that advice, i will go and finish what i started---
  5. Hi to everyone that is under their Pug wrenching! I didn`t think i would be posting much this side of Christmas but here we go again. Please can anyone tell me the different timing marks on the crankshaft pulley when you adjust your valve clearances. Thanks to our forum here i have the valve clearance specs and which order to do them in but i haven`t got the timing mark position when you do this that makes sense to me. Any info most welcome. My family is buying me a new Haynes manual for Christmas to replace the one that disappeared recently when all i want is a new car (Peugeot--hint hint)
  6. On the same subject, sorry to be a pain in the arse but does this setting sound real?? Inlet 0.15mm and Exhaust 0.25mm--Thanks
  7. Thanks as always good people, you have given me more work to do! If i don`t develop some other fault before Christmas and have to post it here then please have a very good one and all the goodness that should come with it.--Thanks
  8. Hi all, well just another techno question, this time it is the fuel gauge on the dash. The needle shows the fuel level half the time but the other half it slowly goes down towards empty and stays there for a while when you are driving, the next time you glance at it the needle has moved back up to what i assume is the correct level. Anyone had this at all and any pointers in where to check the problem please? When you put some diesel in at the garage the needle does go up to roughly where it should be but slides down after a while then comes back up!-- Thanks as always -Jerro
  9. Thanks Jeff, i am starting to feel confident about getting on with it, very much appreciated. Any idea how much torque to apply when you have set the gaps and tighten things down please?--Thanks again----
  10. Hi everyone, well here i go with another request for advice please. Having had the fuel pump timing adjusted i feel i need to do my valve clearances and of course would like to know the clearances and any `tricks` that might be worth knowing when doing this? 1986 505- XD3T engine 2.5 lt TD sedan.- I`m sure i could find them in a manual but would prefer to hear it from the forum which i trust more than the manual at this point! Other than remove rocker cover, check and adjust valves, replace rocker cover, anything else. I`d need to ask 1-what torque is needed on the valve adjustment inlet and exhaust? 2- in order to get valves full open or closed which timing mark to line up and where or just rotate engine until valve `appears` open/closed. Anyway, any advise appreciated!--Thanks as always
  11. Thanks Rabin, i was wondering why the Pug still ran just the same as always without this functioning when the spring and rod had fallen off the cruise control diaphram! Now i know!--Thanks again---
  12. Hi all, got a question as usual! Anyone know the specifics of the unit shown in the (hopefully) attached picture. Firstly i must ask what is the `exit` pipe at the right of the unit in the picture attached to after it leaves the unit at the back and travels downwards to ?. I followed mine and it appears to connect to a `T` piece.Close to this T piece is an open metal pipe coming out of another `unit` of some kind that if i pump the unit shown in the picture air comes out of this small metal pipe. Should this small metal pipe be open please? Also, what is the setting at the spring that you can see in the picture? Mine came loose and fell off, i put another spring on and doesn`t seem to make any difference to the cars running but should the spring be tight, loose or ?--Thanks as always--Jerro
  13. ----------UPDATE----------Thanks once again everyone, cleaned all connections which were dusty/ gritty (like soil!) and have not had any problems since then and running beautifully, i will have to enter the Paris Dakar now!--Thanks
  14. Thanks very very much for the tips, really appreciate them and i shall get on and follow them up and report the outcome, it sure isn`t what you know it`s who you know! -Jerro
