I'm interested! I missed out on this car several years ago. It belonged to Mr. Bell in St. Helena, California. It was sold to a auto broker and I lost track of it.
I'll see if I can get an email to Martin through decoding your post Mike.
Thanks, Jeff

Rabin, I ended up rebuilding the Purflux factory fuel filtering system. Proven to me that it does the job quite well. Did replace all the vacuum hoses and rid of all the egr. stuff that didn't work anyway. Less cluter. Considering a different approach to air filtering than the factory oil bath unit. Another factory plus unit but it takes up a lot of room where I plan to mount a electric vacuum pump in that area.

Dave wins, The argent stripe inlay in the bumper started mid year 1982. I like the looks without.The fog lights, the license plate and the bumper trim
-
The change over regarding the trim around vs. in the front windshield gasket is early 82 production. Below is a photo of my past 81 on the left and late 82 on the right. To narrow it down further. My current 82 was built in July 1981 with the full chrome trim and Collin's was built in Febuary 1982 that uses the insert.
Can you see anything else that is diffrent in this photo?

Windshields are interesting topic and at some point the unfunded project will need the gaskets replaced front and back. I'd be interested in what's avaiable Andre' in what retro kit is out there to use. Interesting for me is the early model 82 I have has the full chrome moulding surround on the windshield and the late 82 unfunded project has the insert chrome crap that no longer exists!

Andre', always a pleasure to read your posts with progress regardless how long between your updates.
Always an interesting topic or task your working on

Jerro, the diaphram is cracked and is in need of replacement. Very simple to do as the the diaphram comes in a kit with the plastic plunger, spring and housing. The housing isn't worth salvaging as it is retained with clips the are cripped onto the casting of the fuel filter housing. There are 4 of these tabs in which 3 are visable and used due to the pump casting interference on the top located on the back sideside of the black plastic plunger. I just changed one out on my unfunded project. Easy to do in 15 minutes while having the filter assembly out of the car.
The original part number for the kit is 1911.39
Also known as a PURFLUX TOP KIT
I was close to your area a couple of weeks ago in Bellevue.

Made more progress with a unforeseen condition. The water pump was beginning to leak after a long hibernation. Ordered a replacement online and it arrived relatively quick. Was ready to get started as I opened the shipping box to find a beautiful water pump for a 99 Saab! Correct part number on the order, the actual manufacture's box but the wrong pump. Well geesh, I'll call them for a return request. No so easy, speaking with an agent that could not understand my problem was frustrating. "You received the correct part number didn't you?"
Yes correct part number, wrong part was sent."You received the correct part number didn't you?" OH my, changed my story to the part was damaged, "OK, we will process your return immediately"
"Sir, I show we no longer stock this part number, would you like a refund?" Hell yes, I was also on the other phone putting a stop payment on my credit card to be sure these folks don't give me grieve when the perfectly good Saab pump they sent is back in their hands and they won't refund my monies.
2nd. try I moved on and found another pump online. Great, receive a tracking number via email and all is good. Wait, another email immediately follows the tracking number email, :were sorry, we no longer stock that item. Really? Where you planning to send me anything on the shelf since you sent a tracking number?
3Rd try I made a purchase on ebay of all places. It was cheap with free shipping. What do you ya know, it arrived and was the correct pump.
OK, so now I can move forward with changing out the pump. A very simple procedure to do. I was prepared for the worst and sure enough the worst did happen. Broke three water pump bolts in the process of removal. I was prepared for that and finished out the job.
Did some simple maintenance too by changing the trans and rear diff oils. The transmission is a bit more buttery after the oil change as what oil was in it looked to be original.

Great update Bill! Welcome to the wonderful world of Peugeot ownership!
It would be advisable to call the yard where the car is for parts to verify it hasn't been crushed yet.
Take the pump and the head. You can take the entire intake and exhaust manifold with turbo attached and take them too.
Yahoo, another one saved!

I remember seeing this once before, I like the contrast. Ask Tony in Santa Cruz, he mentioned he has a full set of decals for these STI wheels.

That's nice work Dave! How far do you have move thse two?
-
Bill, I maybe able to give it a home. Being a 5spd. it can be towed with a car dolly. Recently gave my surplus injector pump to another Peugeot enthusiast friend to save another car from its demise. If your handy, a last resort would be remove the one off of this car which I planned to do;

Bill, give me a call while your here this weekend. I'll be in & out but we may be able to meet.

Bill, pleasure talking with you on Monday. Got your email update regarding the car, good news that this one will be repaired and will continue to be driven. Any idea whom they are taking the car to for repairs? I assume after their long history of ownership, it must be a reputable shop. Keep us posted on future updates or feel free to call me with questions. By all means bring it up to the valley with you when its ready.

Took a road trip to Thomas's place in Roseville a few weeks ago to pickup a set of dark blue door panels and some other misc. parts for Collin's car.
Enroute we stopped by Sina's place to pickup the rear seats he has donated to Collin's car too! Although Sina wasn't home, had a great conversation with his dad regarding Peugeot and we will be back to in June for a little rendezvous in Alameda!
Spent yesterday with him changing trans and rear diff oils. Have radiators hoses coming from Brian Holms as well as fuel filters for both cars. I like the factory fuel filtering system and will get Collin's back in working order. Removed all the useless egr components to begin the task of less cluter under the hood as well.
-
I'm sure he does! Give him some time to respond and I'll also tell him about your post, JeffDo you have a whole turbo car for sale or something I can make a project? -
Yep, that's right. Still creates drag
-
Thanks Andre' for letting me talk to Ukit directly via your cell phone while you were at his place today! He knew which sender I'm looking for
He said he'd let me know if a 404 shows up looking for a new home too. I'm not sure how much drag is created with the vacuum pump but can feel the loss of power when the viscous cooling fan clutch kicks in. -
Andre' knows I'm waiting for him to visit Ukit's too

Andre', I think you sent these diagrams to me? Makes for goodtime bed stories!

Found some time for Collin and I to work on a few things on the car. The original front cloth seats although look good we found a pair a bit more sporty. Sina will be donating the matched rear seats in a few weeks! Replaced those rotted rear interior C pillar panels. We got two in good shape from Thomas and we decided to paint them white as the pair we recieved were gray. We chuckle when we look at the factory radio now installed. Works fine and really fits the 80's style.

Sina, keep me updated on your return home! Job interview? are you talking for the summer?Haha sounds like a plan. I think I might be coming home possibly on the weekend of march 22nd-24th for a job interview (if my coach lets me skip practice that Saturday).If I can't make it home till later in April or May, I'll just arrange something with my dad again. Regardless, this summer let's expect a bbq/drive/work-day in Alameda at our place!
Lets see tools & bbq in the summer at your place.......ya we can do that!

Thomas's newly owned V6 has been off the road for starting problems for quite sometime before he purchased it. The car belonged to a friend of mine close to home. I sold it for him to another friend in the gold country in 2008 and now the car moves to a third friend. Love the story of this particular V6, proving in can continue to be enjoyed with a little TLC.

Great photo Sina!
I don't think there has been a detailed thread regarding the removal and re-installation of the sunroof assembly. I have it in one of my service manuals thou, maybe a scan for you when your home next and I rad your trunk for some seats!
