Peugeot Repair Tucon DEFUNCT!!!

[505 Wildcat]

Having some trouble with my 505 stalling while at idle in traffic.. While car is stopped in traffic it stalls while in drive after a few seconds and starts right back up again.. Once started again the car has a tremendous lag in power, you have to floor it and it barely moves then takes off..

After experiencing this problem I decided to give Nelsons Garage a call as they are the only Peugeot repair listed in Arizona.. The # is no longer in service.. I decided to drive by and the address is only a delapidated old adobe house with no roof and 3 walls holding it up..

Just thought I'd put that out there so it can be deleated from this site and I search for some other garage with knowledge on how to work on Peugeots

Sorry the mechanics list is on jaskstuff.com 

I like my fellow Tucsonan and Peugeot Entusiast am having such a difficult time acquiring parts my head is starting to spin..

I've tried ordering new wheels for my car and have been unsuccessful with my orders being canceled twice now on 2 different sets.. I was able to acquire one but one wheel doesn't do a whole lot of good.. It's pretty but also pretty useless without it mates..

Mistaken website

Where on this site is their info listed?  

If you can find an old Volvo or VW shop that knows their Bosch CIS injection - it's the same system and they should be able to diagnose and repair.

Rabin is right on this.  I would look Volvo.  Parts are getting very hard to come by.  It will only get worse.  You (and everybody) should be prepared to shell out the money to professionally repair parts.  A lot of places do wheels.  I had a turbo done.  Probably going to look into having a head welded.

It's the new reality.

I can't remember the last time I saw a ZDJL 2.2 car.

These guys are getting seriously rare now.  No matter what the trim.

Thanks for the advice,

i actually used to work for the local Volvo dealer here in Tucson and have owned plenty of Swedish Bricks in my life time as well as having a membership to the local VCOA.

If I have a car that needs Volvo parts in order to function my preference would be to just own another Volvo.. Even parts for Volvo are getting scarce as I've had everything from a 122s to a v90..

I've come to the decision I'm just not as in to this car as I ought to be and its just sitting in my driveway like it did with its previous owner so I'll be listing it on here shortly..

For what it's worth - they are all using Bosch parts, so it's not accurate to say it's using Volvo parts. 

Car won't win you over parked in the driveway, so I see why you're wanting to sell it.  Had you been able to drive it, the cargo capacity, seats and ride would certainly wow you. The power and 3sp maybe not so much - but it does have a charm its own.

Good luck with sale,

Rabin

Thanks,

While all this may be true.. I'm just not a fan of the wagons styling from the rear door on there's an almost ambulance or hearse like quality I just can't seem to get past.. The sedans are much more attractive in my opinion.. It's also the styling of the interior or lack there of on the earlier models I can't grow to love especially the oblong instrument cluster.

Different strokes as they say - I think the wagons look awesome.

Feel free to advertise here of course, but I'd also suggest the Peugeot-L yahoo group, and the Peugeot group on Facebook (Just click on the F icon at the bottom of page).

Good luck,

Rabin

Thanks Rabin,

I've also just got a few too many projects and cars at the moment including a 1968 Jeep Commando, 1984 Jeep Garand Wagoneer a 1988 Cadillac Sedan deVille a 1989 Pontiac Parisienne wagon and last but not least an 03 Chevrolet Avalance and only so much driveway space ?
