Need tips on wiring alternator. thanks
-
Hey friends, I just installed a rebuilt alternatorin the 505T wagon. Batt light on and gets brighter upon revs. NOT CHARGING. Can you guys walk me through the small wire locations?
-
Sorry to be at this old topic but I am sick of this condition,you know when the key switch takes many tries to engage the starter. I installed the recommended relay and it works every time but the starter remains engaged with this set up. Today I installed a push button which works with the key on but still can take several tries. So I guess it's not the switch after all? Any ideas?
The 89 red turbo wagon is otherwise back on the road and ripping 15 psi.

Guess some addictions have no expiration date

You would think that after 20 years and at least 9 Peugeots, I would, if not have a fondness for quirky issues, at least be used to them. That 10 years I took off has taken it's toll. I am sure that the old obsession is back and I will drive this thing again! (as a classic)
Anyway, all is well when I run the starter straight up but it may not always go on the first try. What is with the relay set-up that it makes it keep running?
I now have 2 new V belts, (needed), and I am also now familiar with the torture of the PS pump bolt system. I stupidly backed that far lower one all the way out and the big spacer fell out. I think the whole thing may have to come out to get that back in. Running without it for now.
Engine likes clean connectors so I will do more of those. Exhaust smells bad as I burn off very old gas while adding fresh premium to thin it out. Top rad hose looks nice but leaks a bit at the tank connection, try a different clamp.
Brakes work but feel kind of "dry" after sitting so long. Any suggestions on that? What else might need attention?
thanks all for wisdom & patience

Cold start switch cutting off? Could be the starter, I guess. I did install a relay yesterday and now it cranks 1st try. I'll pull the relay & try it back the stock way, as the noise is coincidental with the relay install
thanks CC

OK. good suggestions by Keebs & Rabin. I took off the belts, (good thing as they are both badly cracked), so nothing is turning. I realised that it has been nearly 10 years since this was my DD and I am slowly getting back into the maintainence groove here.
Car started rough & rich but NO grinding noise. I shut it off and re - crimped the contacts that I renewed yesterday. Ran better but NOISE is back! sound is coming from rear of engine and esp. loud from under the car. Suddenly, a sensor clicks, noise STOPS, and engine settles into nice smooth idle @ 900 rpm. WTH???. It must be a heat shield vibrating when rough running? Feedback please
thanks guys

Good suggestions Rabin. Thanks

Thanks Keebs. When would you like to get started on it?

Loose cam chain tensioner sounds about right after a 15 psi red line run. How do I fix that?

Thanks Rab.
Don't know about black NTC sensor, 89 should have boost contoller*
Long story now. 89 N9TEA wagon has several mild performance mods. 80K on the 2001 re-build:
Arais custom forged pistons,
balanced con rods,
804 injectors,
2.5" free-flow cat back exhaust,
K & N cone air filter. (Apparently now considered to be a negative?),
tapered, (ala Jim Lill), throtle plate.
* in-line manual boost control @ 15 psi,
boost gauge & A/F meter on dash,
NGK B8H,(I think) colder plugs.
etc.
Car started right up & idled after 7 years in the barn. I got a used radiator from Brian Holm and popped that in. Swapped in the ECU from 88 sedan and took her out. Running pretty strong and hitting 15 psi before WG/controller dump.
Mobil 1 nice clean honey color, coolant in bottle pale green & clean-no bubbles. Exhaust clean & dry. External fuel pump whining a bit, maybe water in the filter?
So today, I began the wire & ground R&R / cleaning. I rigged up a starter relay, now starts first click. Cleaned & spliced new connectors on various top front sensors that were old, cracked & dirty.
My reward for this work was a very rich & rough start-up, accompanied by a sort of nasty loud grinding sound from engine bay. I have never heard this before. It's not real deep but I can't locate the source. Seems to come from the valve cover area but when I take off the filler cap it sounds good in there. Rich condition went away as I guess the computer re-booted the sensors.That
noise is a problem, though. Any thoughts?
thanks Chris

Hey guys. I have an 89 turbowagon. Can I simply plug in the ECU from an 88 sedan for that extra power?
Must be an old thread for this somewhere.
thanks C

Wagon sat in the barn for 7 years. I put a battery in it and it started right up!
I need the plastic tank on the right, (cap) side of the radiator. Also "T" head shift lever, auto.
Thanks CC
