  1. Although I'm pretty sure that is the vacuum pump. I have both the newer and older style and yours doesn't look like either. I would guess that there is another style used on the XD3TE engine that we wouldn't see in North America, and that's what you have. This is the older rebuildable style And this is the newer non rebuildable style.
  2. I think it must be, but it is different from either of the 2 versions I've seen on North American models. From the overall picture of your engine compartment I can see that the object you picture here is located where the vacuum pump is located on ours and the fact that it is connected to the brake booster also indicates that it is the vacuum pump. I think the tee branches down to the vacuum reservoir near the base of the steering column. if you remove the battery you would see it or it should be visible from below.
  3. I think Brian Holm knows more about any Peugeot that the rest of North America combined. I'm sure Brian knows more about it but here is the oil pan baffle I think the PunisherGP team are trying for next week's race.
  4. If you've been following my saga with switching the engine, you may recall that when I got it back with the new(ish) engine, the two things that weren't right were the Tach didn't work and the EGR system was working extremely wrong. I temporarily resolved the EGR problem by clamping off the vacuum hose to the EGR valve so it didn't work at all, and of course the car ran fine. I've fiddled with the tach from time to time, checking the adjustment on the TDC sensor, cleaning up the ground connection etc., but I hadn't made any progress other than to rule various things out. While I was down at the parts car the other day, I took the TDC sensor off the old engine. I was really thinking that perhaps the sensor for the automatic was different from the one on the 5 speed, though I pretty much thought I knew they were the same other than adjusting them to different depths. When I went to swap it in, I realized from the connector on the wire end, and the length of the wire, that they had reversed the sensor from the top of the bell hosing with the one on the side. Since the one on the top contributes to controlling the EGR system and has a 2 wire connector and the one on the side provides the signal for the Tach, and has a three wire connector, the relationship between the two symptoms and this misconfiguration suddenly became clear. Sure enough with the sensors in their correct locations and the vacuum hose reconnected both systems are working properly again.
  5. Well here's one of the Team PunisherGP engines from a few months ago http://joelongo.jalbum.net/PunisherGP%20-%20NJ/#NJ_DSC4794.jpg and the basic malfuntion they had http://joelongo.jalbum.net/PunisherGP%20-%20NJ/#NJ_DSC4807.jpg
  6. The team that races the 2 Mi-16's does so in Lemons and I think they have been dealing with Brian Holm regarding their replacement engines. I think he would be the most likely to have one of their heads, or one that isn't one of theirs, and I would think you will almost surely need one.
  7. I have the parts car, from which I took the engine, parked about 30 miles from me. Yesterday I spent the afternoon removing stuff. I primarily wanted to get the windshield washer pump and the satellite radio. Getting the latter and it's antenna. required stripping a lot of interior parts, which I want to do anyway. The carpeting is also high on my list of things I will want. I doubt I'll get that into my daily driver before spring, but I want to get it out of the parts car and into a dry place before winter. I also took the cruse control ECU and one of the interior rear side trim pieces (I forget what they're called). I found a lot of ants in the parts car so I'll need to bring some insecticide on my next visit.
  8. If I don't find it before I go skiing in Canada, maybe I could purchase a can or two from you and have it shipped to me on your side of the border while I'm there. I lead a group from our ski club every year to the same place and I'm sure the group manager at the resort would hold it for me, if shipped to her attention a week or two before I arrive. Unless there are several stateside people who want to split a case with me, I can't see what I would do with a case of it. I'm not maintaining a whole fleet of Peugeots like some people.
  9. Is it shipping across the boarder that's the problem or is it a problem to ship within Canada? It won't be till January, but I'll be in Quebec for a week.
  10. I had a product like that many years ago. when I ran out, I never could find it again. Doesn't anyone sell Slip Shot II in less than case quantities?
  11. How do you lubricate it, and with what?
  12. I agree with Rabin about the probability of where the noise is coming from. I was able to get both bolts out of the rear arm pivots without lowering the crossmember, at least on the driver's side. I never did the passenger side but I don't think there would be a difference. I don't remember exactly how I did it but it is doable.
  13. Thanks that's probably a good idea. The noise was definitely up at the speedo end. This cable is only about 2 years old.
  14. The pivots are just bushings. I haven't removed the entire arms but have removed the pivot ends .
  15. What's the procedure for removing the back seat in a 505?
  16. A full tank of fuel from "Emporium Gas" with a shot of my usual Red Line Diesel Fuel Catalyst, and the injector pump has stopped leaking again. I have no idea why fuel from this one station makes the leak stop and anywhere else makes it start again, but it works so I'll take it. I removed the instrument cluster, pulled the speedometer cable out a fraction of an inch, and replaced the instrument cluster. No more clicking sound, at least for now. Yesterday I changed the differential oil. I can't remember the last time that was done, maybe never. I used Red Line 75W90 GL-5 Gear Oil 57904.
  17. 800 miles round trip with no significant problems. After I got home, I put one of the license plate lights back together with epoxy and duct tape. The lenses were both OK but the socket/backplates were falling apart. After gluing one of those back together, I took the contacts apart cleaned them and reasembled. It seems to be working OK. I replaced the other with a new one. Two other issues: There is a speed dependent clicking sound coming from the instrument cluster, pushing in on the cluster, or pushing it side to side can stop the sound briefly so I'm fairly sure it's coming from the interface between the speedometer cable and the speedometer. The injector pump has started to leak again. You may recall that it was leaking significantly a while ago and one day I had to get fuel from a no-name station because I was running on fumes, and the leak stopped. Every time I get fuel elsewhere, the leak starts again. Of course on my trip to NH, I had to get fuel to get home. I'm getting low now so hopefully when I get my local fuel again the leak will stop again. Obviously I'm going to have to get the pump resealed in the not too distant future, but as long as my local fuel from "Emporium" stops the leak and doesn't show signs of causing problems, I'll hold off.
  18. Congratulations! I don't know if you've seen my thread here but I too have a history with my parent's Peugeots http://www.505turbo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2314-my-family-peugeot-history/
  19. Is this the "tin can" in the lower right? I have a lot of pictures like this that I took before moving the engine from one car to the other to assist in putting it back together correctly. I'm about 400 miles from home right now so I'm kind of limited with the ease of posting them, and of course since our cars didn't have the intercooler the hose routing will be somewhat different.
  20. I got inspired to change the oil this morning before leaving for NH. I'm now almost 400 miles from home. I went right by the old Peugeot of America corporate headquarters. I stopped for fuel just before leaving NJ. In NJ it is illegal to pump your own gas (diesel is legal to pump your own) so at a big highway service center, there are a lot of attendants at the fuel pumps. At this one they are all Haitian. As soon as I pulled in, they swarmed all over me asking about my car. I guess they hadn't seen one since they left Haiti. One would ask what year it was and then translate to the others, then another asked how many miles and then told the others. They were running their hands on it like it was a cute puppy dog. As I pulled back on the highway, a guy in a newish VW Beetle passed me staring at me with a big grin and gave me a thumbs up. As I crossed into Massachusetts a state trooper pulled me over to tell me my license plate light was out but he just told me to fix it when I got home and sent me on my way. When I pulled into the hotel, in NH, there were a couple of guys out front smoking and one of them started explaining to his friend what my car was and where it was made. He said he hadn't seen one since he left Irac. He tried to buy one when he came home but couldn't find any in the US, and he didn't think there were any more left.
  21. As with all North American 505s I don't have an intercooler, so your layout is a bit different from ours. Is the "Tin Can" visible in one of your pictures? I see you referred to it but I can't tell what in the picture you are referring to. As Rabin said it's probably the cold start advance. That would have one vacuum line and two coolant lines going into it (actually one in and one out). I have one each of the newer and older style vacuum pumps and assuming yours is located in the same location as ours, yours looks different from either of ours. On mine, the vacuum accumulator tank is down near the clutch master cylinder, not far from where the steering column connects to the rack. With the battery and it's tray out it's obvious, otherwise it's not real visible. Also, as Rabin said, black oil is normal. I am a bit concerned if the level has gone up. About the only things that could get in there to raise the level would be coolant or fuel. Do you know if your injector pump has ever been resealed. Here at least, the change in the formulation of Diesel Fuel, since our cars were made, eats the original seals. I'm not sure, but I think if the main front seal on the injector pump fails, it can leak fuel into the crank case. The new seals that would have been used in recent years when resealing the pump, are made to resist damage from the Ultra Low Sulfur fuel, but the originals were not.
  22. Well I'll be 60 next month, but I usually say I've been 25 for 35 years.
  23. The spindle nut was all buggered up and that's why I had the bearing noise. I don't know how or when it got that way. I've never layed a finger on it, and I don't recall any reason anyone else would have recently. The only thing I can think about having to do with that wheel was about a year and a half ago I had a sudden violent rattle. I pulled over and found 3 of the four lug nuts on that wheel were gone. One was on the ground a few feet back and no sign of the other two. I had some lug nuts in the trunk and although the studs were a little bit damaged I was able to get them all on. Shortly after that I had the car at a Sears tire center for a couple of tires and they told me that one of the studs on that wheel was turning. I was going out of town in the other car the next day so I left the car with them and had 4 new studs shipped to them. When I came back a week later, I had my tires and one new stud installed. Then back about a year ago I replaced the ball joints and tie rod ends. I thought I noticed a noise that might be a bearing after that. I took it in for an alignment, due to the front end work, and asked them to also check for the bearing noise. They said they heard nothing and that the wheals spun smoothly. I didn't hear the noise after that, until recently. Of course in between then and now, the car sat for 8 or 9 months with a hydrolocked engine, and was briefly up to the bottom of the doors in hurricane Sandy water.
  24. Yeh that's what I was getting at. I suspect that when Moritz said "level is high", he means that it's at the full mark on the dipstick, but in case he really meant that it's higher than that, that takes us down a different road.
  25. I heard a bearing noise from the left front wheel for a few days, and I'm planning to drive to New Hampshire tomorrow. I got bearings and the seal from Rock Auto and the spindle nut from Madhu. I had rebuilt calipers, new rotors, pads and hardware kits that I got a couple of years ago, knowing I would need them in the not too distant future, so this seemed like the time. It turns out that the caliper that had the number of the left side was actually another right side caliper. So I had two rights and no left. It seems the left is much harder to come by than the right. So I went down to the parts car and got that one which was in better shape than the one that came off. So now I think I'm ready for my trip to NH (my 40th High School reunion).
