SSB

Hard to tell now as it squirted oil all over and even though it's never need oil added and never drips on the ground, it was usually wet there.

...and I hate it when that happens. Broke the power steering fitting that goes into the Ram Cylinder (pn 4011.16) because one of the rack bushings had perished. There was no issues with steering, alignment or noise that would have warned me. So, get under there and check out the bushings (pn 4059.07) before they break the pipes (pn 4020.E3 & E3). The pipes can be fabricated but they have double flares at both ends.

There were 66 scans that needed 15 separate steps per page then the down loading of three PDF programs (cheaper doesn't mean easier).. Others that already have PDF and newer computers won't have as much trouble doing this as I did.

This was a ton of work. PDF file of 85 MB. But it's done. I have other manuals but I'd rather mail them to you and let you scan and PDF'em Peugeot 505 Parts Manual.pdf

I have a scanner but it doesn't give me an option to set as PDF. I've got a call into a friend that should know.

I'd need some direction on how to make it a PDF, I think. I've' got alot of other manuals as well.

Do you guys have a reference library? I could scan all 35 pages of this.

BTW, it not really a Peugeot part, it's Bosch. Look for BMW 528E for the intake tube. Orientation of the fittings are different but manageable. That goes for all of the injection and ignition system. Just Google the Bosch number.

Good input. I was looking for some conformation of a common failure but it appears pretty obscure.

Axle Tramp and two clouds of tire smoke. Leaving the throttle open let the turbo stay at full speed so no fuel was being added as the ignition was off but let's just say there was no turbo lag when I turned it back on. All the way down the back straight I kept saying "Sorry Red"

Well in the commercial, as I recall, the rear tires are not spinning much faster than the fronts. So the concussion of landing wouldn't shock the drivetrain anymore than my turn 7 Road Atlanta qualifying experiment where I left my foot down, left foot broke, turned off the key then turned it back on as I exited. Was a suggestion from a friend who was on Paul Newmans team. Well I'm here to tell you that was the single largest shock that drivetrain ever got. If it was going to break, it should have done it then but that is one reason I bought another diff for it anyway. Reds_Commercial.avi

Good info. Using said info would suggest the upper and lower sections (11 o'clock and 5 o'clock) were the last to go. That said there is a little oxidation in the upper right quadrant. As so the fatigue is not an old one from when it was the race cars diff some 30 years ago. Surprising to me as I don't do burn-outs, jump berms, drift or any other hooliganism's with that car.

I felt it go off center (in retrospect ) but that was only a mile before it broke. Every thing was tight and in order except the oil had been leaking apparently for some time that I had not noticed. There are two different surfaces there. One is maybe 15% of the surface that is rough and the rest is smooth. I'm guessing the 15% area is the originator of the final failure. Just guessing though.

It was so gentle about it. No bang/crunch/snap/crackle or pop. Rolled in gear without any noise at all. I'm going to want a spare as Red's diff has about 140k on it but I never thought Deuce would be the one that needed it first.

am still stunned. 1) It broke so nicely 2) That it broke at all Oh well, stick the open diff back in.

Actually. Deuce has Red's original LSD (We bought a new diff for the 1989 season). I disabled the ABS and later replaced the ABS altogether. So that diff has 60K race miles on it plus the 70k while installed in Deuce. Noise: It's a light sound, ticking with no vibrations in the car. Gear and engine speed related (faster in 5th and slower in 1st). For such as relatively easy life Deuce has had compared to Red, it's had a lot more failures. This is the first time it's stranded me, however.

The noise it makes when in gear, engine running is near or at the dif and the speedo is indicating is where my diagnosis lead me to drive shaft/diff.

I'd like to believe the issue is the drive shaft as the sound it makes with the clutch out is fairly light. That said, I have another diff but not a drive shaft. The race car (Red) never broke and has had a much harder life.

Struggling to read French but 2801.63 appears to be the N9TE shaft. Would the splines inside the back end of the shaft broke away? I don't drag race it?

Well, got a surprise today. Came out of a corner in second gear and bang, lost forward motion. Trans is working, drive shaft is turning and axles are ok. Thought I felt a vibration before the event. Speedo is reading and there's a bit of a noise near the diff. Anybody got pictures of what's connecting the drive shaft to the diff?

One down, three to go

Hi all. Looking into this brain trust to help me with a question. What are the 4 fuses behind the ash tray on the 87 Turbo S w/ABS ? There are 4, two 7.5's and a 15 and another (I forget the value). Tried looking at wiring diagrams but got a headache.
