Just listed my 89 505 5 speed Turbo on Ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649&item=290616517173&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT Steffen Richmond, VA

After giving it a lot of consideration I have desided to sell the 89 5 Speed Turbo That I bought last spring. Reason for selling the car, I have my 86 505 TD Wagon and the 84 604 TD and then I also have an 95 Chevy Silverado. And after all I'm a "Dieselhead" . I love the versatillity of the 505 Wagon The comfort and handling of the 604, and the Chevy as a backup vehicle! When I bought the car with 66500 miles, it had been sitting for sometime and had a lot of Electrical issues, after a lot of cleaning El. connections', car runs great, Starts right up and runs real nice, on very rare occasions, engine develops a slight 'Hickup" shut it of and restart and it's back to normal. Car is very fast!! with good working transmission, Suspension is very tight, Brakes are the best I ever had in a Peugeot, Even if the "Anti Lock Brake" light stays on all the time! Since I bought the car I have driven it for about 2000 miles a couple trips 600 miles+ without any problems Climate control works well, A/C Blows cold!! Cruice Control, P. windows, Door locks, Sunroof, Lights, all works as they should! On a couple occasions The oil,Temp and the low coalant light will flicker! The interior is in real good condition for a 20+year old car, Car has an AM/FM/Cassette Radio installed and the org Peugeot radio in the trunk, Power antenna don't work! Oil pan Gasket does need to be replaced do to small leak. The Exterior of the car is OK but could stand a repaint as Clear Coat is peeling and paint is fading, I would say that the car has no visible rust, Tires are Legal, VA Inspection good to 3/2012 I have a couple offers on the car, but not sure of the value, so I'm planning on offering the car on ebay as soon as I get some good pictures taken, That way All interested parties have a chance!!

Looks like most of the running problems was caused by corroded Electric Connecters, After cleaning all visible wire connecters, grounds Etc. I guess it was because the car had been sitting unused for about 5 years. Even found signs of mouse nest a couple places, Don't looks like the mice got into the wiring. I have used a lot of leather conditioner on the seats and they are now very soft and comfortable, The interior is really in great condition The car runs great and real fun to drive and very fast!! have to watch my speed! Well I have been driving diesels for many years, this is my first Turbo gas. I have been told by many of you, that this is a very rare model as being a 5 speed intercooled Turbo!! I wonder how many of this model there are out there? If You have one of this model or know of one, I would greatly appreciate if you would let me know, I have been told that very few of them was bought here! I'm planning on driving the car to the Import / Kit Car show in Carlisle, PA Hope to see many of you there!! should be a great show, as French car's will be featured this year and from what I understand, there will be many very rare models on display!

I did Use the Org. Sunroof cable.The motor Drive teeth grapped the cable just fine, no slippage at all. Steffen

last friday I made a trip to our local pick & pull Yard, as I was looking for a tail light for a frinds car. Well! at the same time I desided to look for a substitude for the missing Antenna grommet on my 89 505 Turbo, it had a piece of Duckt tape wrapped around the antenna mast. dont really looks that good! As I did not have any dimentions with me, I picked up 3 different ones, only had to pay $0.50 for each!got home ! and found one of them was a perfect fit,even the right angle! I know it came off a Ford model, not sure wich model! The grommet is Rubber and has a grove in it and fit nice. Next time I go I will see if I can get the model the grommet came off.Just tought I would share this info with the group.

Yesterday I drove the car for about 20 miles to a frinds house and on the way home I made several stops, doing some shopping, car ran great, only once did it start missing as before, but overall it ran very well. This morning I vent to get a news paper, when I got back in the car , it would turn but no fire!!, after checking the fuses and found them all to be ok, I got in the car and it started right up. Got home and opened the hood, vrikled the wires that goes to the 2 Yellow relay's above the big fuse panel, and engine Quit! Did some more movement of the wires and got in and engine fired right up!!! Took the realays out and there was a lot of corosion on a couple of the spades, cleaned them and coated them with dieel. grease. What are the function of those relay's??? I have taken many connectors apart and cleaned them, as aprecaution. Drove the car for another 30 miles this afternoon and did not have any problems, but the turbo boost gauge has quit working for some reason, worked before, I can feel the turbo kick in when accelerating, but I do take it easy, dont want it to overboost.

89 505 Turbo 5 speed Vacum hose connections? I believe I got the vacuum hoses in their right places, The first one (closest to the firewall) goes underneath the manifold to the fuel pressure regulator. The second one goes to a "T" one hose goes around the front of the engine down to some gadget under the air cleaner! other hose goes down to a canister (Horizontal connection) between the fuel evaporator thing and the firewall ? is that right?. This morning I adjusted the TPS according to Joe Grubbs instructions I found on the "505 turbo website". I took the car out to run a couple errands, Car ran real nice, lots of pickup, cruise control works great, turbo bust gauge seems to work also. But then after engine had warmed up the engine acted like it was hesitating, would cruise fine, but when I try to accelerate it was hesitating (Stumbling) and did not have the "PEP" it had when colder, acted normal under 2000RPM, but above that I had those sympthons! does this make any sense to You??? Could it be Timing or timing advance? Any input will be greatly appreciated! Steffen

Update on my 89 505 5 Speed Turbo. Since I got the car home and checked it out, I have done the following. Did a compression test, all cylinders was between 120 – 125 PSI Adjusted the valves, they where all very tight! Installed new sparkplugs Replaced Fan/Alternator, Power steering belts. Changed Engine oil and filter, Transmission and differential oil w/ additive. Install new Fuel filter. Replaced driver side steering rack booth. Replaced lower ball joint on passenger side. New wiper blades. Replaced front sway bar bushings. Free up dragging parking brake Replaced all tires with a set of tires I had laying around. (195/65/15) Tires on car was badly dry rotted. Passed VA State inspection!! Car starts right up and runs great, I can feel the turbo kick in at around 2500RPM Car rides and handles GREAT !! the 5 speed tranny shifts very well. Clutch feels great. I can feel a slight miss at around 3000RPM ? Could that be the timing?? Things to be done: The lower speedometer cable is broken The cable housing is fine, I have trouble finding the female cable end that connects to the transducer, have contacted several vendors and none have even the complete cable in stock. Any suggestions will be welcome! Next problem is the sunroof! When the switch is pressed, I can hear the motor in the trunk run, but no movement at the sunroof, Any suggestions? Besides not using it! To bad Peugeot could not use the same sunroof drive as on the 604’s. on all the 604’s I have owned over the Years, I have newer had one with malfunctioned Sunroof. I plan on replacing the coolant after a good flushing. Well enough ranting at this time!! Steffen Richmond, VA 84 604GTD 86 505 5 Speed Turbo Diesel Wagon, My daily driver!! 89 505 5 Speed Turbo

As far as I know, George at Sunset is no longer in buss, as far as Peugeot is concerned, Someone told me that he is in to alternate fuel setup (Veggie Diesel Etc.) Steffen

Hi to all, My name is Steffen, I live in Chesterfield, VA (Near Richmond) I hav owned and driven Peugeot's for 40+ years. My First peugeot was an 195? 403 Sedan that I bought back in 1963, That was back when I lived back in Europe, I'm from Denmark but lived in Sweden at that time. I came here to the US in 1967, I drove American cars until I ran into an 404 Wagon, and since then it has been several 504's, a couple 505's and several 604's both Gas and Diesels. Over the years I have restored many 504 and 604's, at the present time I own 5 Peugeot's. 1984 604GTD with the XD3T Turbo Diesel engine and 4 Speed auto tranny that was transplanted from an 87 505TD 1986 505 5 Speed TD Wagon, my everyday Driver 1982 604TD parts car 1984 505 Wagon gas Parts car And the the main reason I wanted to join this group!! An 1989 505 Inter cooled Gas Turbo 5 Speed 66300 one owner miles, silver with red interior, that I bought this past week. This car has been sitting for a few years, car runs, even if the idle is a little rough, but othervise in great condition. But the gas Turbo is a new route for me3, so I'm sure I will be asking a lot of questions, From what I understand, there are not many of this model around !! Steffen Richmond, VA
