  5. 82 505 TD Unfunded Project

    in Member build threads

    Posted

    OK, nothing exciting to report as an update nor would photos be of interest ether :)

    So whats been happing;

    Off with the 14" wheels and on with the STI 15" wheels that Andre' brought up with him many months ago.

    A complete degreasing with hot pressure washer.

    Oil and filter changed and flushing the cooling system next

    The drivers door lock assembly was broken and you could only open the door from the exterior. This was an easy fix.

    The left rear door was locked shut. This was interesting as I'm the size of a giraffi lol; requiring removal of the rear seat components and the door panel to gain access to the inside of the door. Next remove the exterior handle so I could manually drive the stricker release open from there to open the door. Working as intended now

    I moved on to some wiring issues under the dash. Geez again, not the best enviorment to be working in but figured I'm now a trained contortionist so I'd dug in.

    I'll be taking a break and move on to items that are at waist level for a bit until I can see my feet again :)

    Maybe a photo or two will be posted. I know we like photos around here.

  6. Giving a 505 another chance

    Haha sorry Rabin! Totally missed it when I flipped to the page. <333 :P

    Some semi-OT news: The remaining part of my old grey STI in my parents' garage will be going to Jeff and his son Collin's project car.

    So not only will my family love me again, Collin will soon be living in the lap of 1980s luxury when he's able to drive. :D

    He's are youngest Hipster! LOL

    I've considered some of these ideas as well, prior to ownership of this car. I liked the inter cooler setup similar to Trevor's old Grey Beast. I'll likely be replacing the mechanical vacuum pump and converting strictly to electric cooling fans. Less issues and rid of power robbing accessories.

    Thanks Andre, A few things will be sorted relitively soon,

    Remember those STI wheels and tires you delivered?

    Change out rear tail light assemblies as the pair on the car or very poor condition

    Grill replacement

    Can't get lost with disasembly since we have a full scale template in the garage :)

    As for future exterior, a possble resemblance of a 1985-86 STI without chrome. Most of the chrome on this car has already been removed by mother nature.

    As for budget? Yes it's not funded currently and will consume my spare parts inventory first.

    This 1982 505S turbo diesel is my youngest son's project. At the age of 13, he has been an avid Peugeot enthusiast who has several years to work on this project with a limited budget. I can't think of a better way for him to get hands on experience with his future ride. Hopefully he'll gain an appreciation for his work and the satisfaction that he will know what makes it tick.

    Some stats on this one,

    167,000 miles

    5 speed

    Thomas in Roseville has been putting some parts together for us since August,2012. Mainly used parts that are hard to find that can be recycled.

    This past weekend the car was loaded and hauled from Northern to Central California.

    Recent work included new hydraulic parts for the clutch; otherwise this well rested Lyon was capable of driving.

    History looks to be a California car although there is rust in the common area around the windshield.

    There is plenty to do with the mechanics, interior and ultimately the exterior, but with limited funding and plenty of time, should be a fun driver along the way.

    Original paint is tired right down through the primer. Did I mention rust?

    Interior is rough and scruffy in places, think Lyon's den in Africa but nothing a little TLC can't bring back to life.

    Will need a complete rebuild of the front end and host of other things to tinker with.

    Runs surprising well and drives fair for the condition it is in considering its been off the road for quite some time.

    This makes owning a 505 in the family number 16 plus the forth in this color combination.

    So why this one? The durability of the turbo diesel, no electronic injection to deal with and no smog requirements. The manual trans is the best way to learn to drive too!

    I'll post updates along the way but remember these updates maybe few and far between.

    We got time and plan to have some quality time together in the garage. Merci

  14. What did you do today?

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Installed a replacement muffler on the Ami6. Very weird in shape like the rest of the car! The front muffler hangs under the transmission. Basically 2 briggs & stratton mufflers welded together and just as bizzare. 20 minutes to swap out.

    The drive home today in my truck resulted in the power steering pressure hose letting go. Besides the mess under the hood, driving a 7500 lb. 4WD around town via manual steering was a real treat. My local Napa auto parts had one in stock. Easy fix in 15 minutes. No wonder I like working on this older older stuff.

  17. XD3T / AAZ Hybrid Bosch VE pump project

    in Turbo Diesel Performance

    Posted

    this is a very interesting topic, even though i don't have a diesel (and have never owned one). i did a bit of research on this topic and saw that some of the VW guys use late-model peugeot internals to modify their pumps, so turnabout (your project, rabin) is certainly fair play... :)

    i also got sidetracked on the topic of mechanical VNT control...also very interesting...

    andré

    I too find this topic Rabin very interesting and I have a diesel! No plans to make any modifications but great info :)

  19. Peugeot 1986 505- XD3T engine 2.5 lt TD sedan--pulley timing marks

    in Diesel specific tech

    This is what I have for the XD2S. I couldn't find anything different for the XD3T;

    There are 2 methods of adjusting valves, valves rocking and exh (E) valve fully open. I use the E valve fully open. Turn the engine by hand and watch the valve action. Adjustments, Intake - 0.25 (.010"), Exhaust - 0.25 (.010"), The method I use for adjustment is called GO/NOGO, be sure the gauge and gap is lubricated, use a 0.26 & a 0.25 feeler, set the valve at 0.25 then check with 0.26, if 0.26 goes in easy then reset. If it is forced then the setting is correct. The feel for valve clearance is a personal thing, and you can tell if it is too tight or loose by the feel (think back to times before the wife). Cylinder # 1 is at the flywheel. The firing order is 1 3 4 2.

    The Exhaust valve fully open method.

    OPEN ADJUST

    #1E #3 I #4 E

    #3E #4 I #2 E

    #4E #2 I #1 E

    #2E #1 I #3 E

    Peugeot's suggestion for procedure:

    Cool engine min. 6 hrs

    rotate engine until exhaust valve # 1 is fully open ( you can use

    the front or rear cylinder as # 1), the French way is that # 1 is the cylinder

    closest to the flywheel

    Adjust intake valve # 3

    then adjust #4 exhaust, rotate

    engine 1/2 turn until # 3 exhaust valve is completely open, then adjust #4

    intake, # 2 exhaust, rotate to #4 exhaust open, adjust # 2 intake, # 1 exhaust,

    rotate to # 2 exhaust open, adjust #1 intake and # 3 exhaust
