  1. Never thought I think about selling this but there's another car I want and I don't have enough room to keep them all. So this 89 Turbo S automatic was bought new at Timmons VW/Peugeot in Manhattan Beach. The folks who bought it lived in Manhattan Beach and had it serviced at Timmons until Jesse duBarr took over the service in Manhattan Beach. All the service receipts show that little has ever been replaced other that fluids and brake pads. IT NEEDS NOTHING! I bought it from the relatives of the original owners, who had passed away, that all the car ever did was drive to and from Palm Springs. It had 95,000 miles on it when I bought it. Original paint was perfect but somebody apparently talked the owner into putting a clear coat on top of the original single stage Valalunga Red paint and the clear coat had shattered. I had to remove the clear coat and repaint the car with a base coat/clear coat. By the way, the first photos are before it was repainted. The last two are after repaint. The car is near perfect and needs nothing. It has 107,000 miles on it now. I have $8000 in it now and don't need to sell it. If you want it you can buy it for what I have in it. Includes Peugeot bicycles.

  3. I tried aftermarket (including Dormon) but none are exactly correct. 89 to 92 sedans and wagons lower side skirts clips
  4. Yes, well. I wish it were manual but as I understand it of the 54 1989 505 Turbos only 11 were manual. But this one was too clean to pass it up for the crime of being a 4HP22. My first automatic.
  5. Looking for a diagram or exploded view. Bendix. I'd like to fix this thing if possible.

  7. Ah Grasshopper. Thanks for your input. It's still doing it. It's erratic behavior as sometimes it doesn't flash, sometimes it flashes after I hit the throttle hard and sometimes it comes on from cold start and/or driving downhill or after it has warmed-up. I had a "mechanic" check the continuity from NTC to ECU and while it indicated OK. I got a pin-out box from Dono but have yet to get the "Mechanic" to use it. Now, all that said I talked to another "mechanic" who has dealt with Motronic on BMW's and he suggest replacing the ECU (typical for a mechanic, replace things until the problem goes away). Got ECU I could borrow?
  8. N9TEA - Code 5-1 should indicate an NTC issue. I bought the car with the LED flashing. Even though it started and drove well cold (area of influence for the NTC as it screws into thermostat housing) I changed it anyway (I think it had a black on and the new one is blue). Not only did it not change the cold starting (which was ok as I said) it did not make the LED stop flashing 5-1 either. The light doesn't come on right away but after warm-up and accelerating. Then it says on until shut off. Any ideas?

    Body Skirt Clips

    Ya thanks. I've searched all the usual suspects (USA, France, Canada and Germany) and the best I got (coming) is from Jorge at ZPJ in Argentina. Still not factory but most measurements are good. Maybe there's something somewhere that matches close enough but I've already gone through all that and they are not quite right. I'll report what happens.

    Body Skirt Clips

    This will be fairly obscure but the US 505 Turbo in 1989 has different body cladding below the doors. I broke some of the plastic clips. They might be the same as the clips on the wagon. Anyway I looked online (Dorman etc), I looked at L'Aventure Peugeot and even called a 3D Printer guy but they wanted $300 to replicate. GOT CLIPS?

    I wish they had more stuff. I'd like a set of factory rubber floor mats. In fact, the stuff they have are in large part for cars that are seriously torn up.

    I still have not ordered anything from them but as I understand it they are actually connected to PSA. Xavier Crespin is on Facebook and he's the Director of Marketing (and speaks English) if something doesn't work right.

    L'Aventure Peugeot classic https://www.pieces-de-rechange-classic.com/fr/20-505 My "Adventure" in trying to get a correct Tie Rod end lead me to Peugeot Classic Parts. While they didn't have the tie rod either, they do have a lot of otherwise unavailable parts (Like Glass).
  16. Hay Rabin. You've referenced "vendors below" but I don't see anyone (might be a phone thing). That said, I too need a 5812.59.
  17. Sure. I must say for a 405 guy your collecting a lot of 505 stuff.
  18. Not in very great shape. Good for Man Cave. 15" x 22.5" 2 sided $15 includes postage (North America only)
  19. Maybe one could develop a reference guide as to where we get parts for our cars going forward.
  20. 1) Jessie Dubarr is retiring 2) Ukit will retire 3) Brian Holm will retire 4) Myles of Western Hemisphere is still working So who else is left to get parts from? Speaking of Jessie DuBarr, here is his Peugeot Ebay auction link. https://www.ebay.com/sch/dubarr/m.html?_ipg=200&_sop=12&_rdc=1
  21. One owner base model European delivery with steel rims, no Sunroof or power windows. Interior and carpets good. Alternator and starter rebuilt and fresh battery and freshly serviced. BUY IT AND DRIVE IT FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO ANYWHERE (Follow Mollie). Yes, paint faded and typical minor corner of windshield rust. NADA price guide says $4k high and $2.6k average and $1.7k low. Make offer but no it's not free and it's a good car. TELL YOUR FRIENDS Call Dono @ (310) 995-6709
  22. Deuce slowly began to ride and handle worse and worse. So I got under it but did not see or feel anything loose or leaking. Eventually I concluded that the right front strut was not dampening correctly. Inasmuch as the '87 ABS strut is not serviceable, like the earlier non ABS car, it was necessary to replace the whole strut. Being a bit of a gambler I found that Holms had a used one. Most would replace both but this right front strut had no signs of leaking and actually passed the bumper bounce test so I bought the one used strut. What I found was that the original strut worked correctly - except for the first 20% of compression travel from fully extended. Fully extended the piston would move up and down with little resistance but any compression beyond that it was functioning perfectly and remained dampening all the way to fully extended. Again there was no signs of leaking and having put 80k miles on it for a total of 148k miles it had not leaked out at some time earlier. The valve inside, I believe, had some kind of issue. I guess I must have been too aggressive on some speed bump somewhere. So Deuce is fixed but I share this as it's an unusual failure. You could have a shock valve fail or you can loose fluid but this was a partial valve failure. IMHO
