    Welcome aboard here!

    On occassion, one will pop up here for sale.

    Finding a relatively rust free example will be a challenge. If your on Facebook, you can join us here on our sister group, Peugeot of North America

    I'm preparing to sell one of my 505 turbo diesel's later this year, its originally a Texas car now in California

    Rabin, its the longer steel body version steering valve.

    First 100 miles with not a drip or weep

    Very easy to reseal once you get the assembly removed lol

    The retaining nut on the end of the bolt that anchors the steering ram to the cross member is a bit of a challenge.

    Its partially blocked by the oil pan, recessed in the cross member and you can't get a wrench of any sorts on the bolt head due to it being between the ram cylinder and the steering rack housing. You can get vise grips on the bolt through the open channel of the cross member to assist :)

    Well, this thread is well past due for an update!

    There hasn't been much activity on repairs or upgrades as the car has been in daily service without issue.

    This month marks 24,000 miles and 5 years of ownership. Speaking of ownership, this 505 was intended for my son to drive. Well he did for a short period to learn to drive a manual transmission :)

    He's moved on to something more sporty for his age, a Porsche 944

    Being a Peugeot enthusiast for life, I simply took this 505 for myself as my daily commuter!

    The latest is the need for rebuilding the steering rack hydraulics.

    The mechanical rack components are in good shape but the hydraulics were suffering failure.

    The steering valve and the steering ram were both well worn and leaked profusely. Got by for a year using stop leak :)

    As you can see the rack assembly is quite a mess from years of service. In fact, you can see the steering ram has no bushings remaining!

    New bushing for the ram as well as a reseal kit for the steering valve were installed. No photos of the post repairs but you get the idea.

    So yes, we are rolling again

    I like CanAmPug, universal enough to create this platform and continue to use " Peugeot Enthusiasts Group"

    While 505turbo.com is our resource for technical information and personal builds, our FB group page is simply a in your face medium that scrolls by like ticker tape. Capturing any thing there for later reference is nearly impossible!

    If the two sites can be merged to sync all the better!

    Andre', synchronizing up the logos/identity is a great idea :)

    Some proper gauges would be ideal. Interesting enough my TD automatic runs significatly warmer than the 5 spd. version solely due to the radiator sharing with the transmission.

    Aha, yes the Blazer has been in the family since new. I haven't had time for it in years. Roughly a 1000 miles on a built up 350 now bored to 355, steel crank, corvette rods and aluminum heads. Still looks stock under the hood but can easily break traction in 4 Hi. Engine builder was a former Indy engine builder ;)
