Guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Well, I thought I'd follow up on my peugeotedness since picking up some very nice rims from a very nice guy here, Jeff. So I got tires, went to mount up the rims, and... damn. The fronts don't mount, they grind the calipers & the tires scrape the strut. So I'm half n half 15" steelies and pre-87 turbo rims on the rear. Too bad, I love the look of those rims. the brake fluid abs leak is sustain-ably annoying. Can live with that. The exhaust manifold is either craked of the gasket is leaking now too... What's bad though, is a fairly catastrophic power steering leak, from basically the entire rack. It's great. It ran dry on my girlfriend when she borrowed the car for 20miles/2hrs. The worst part of it is, I love the car. I want more 505 turbos... and soon because I want to part this one out rather than fix this admittedly little junk. I need my daily runner as I've got all these broken Citroens... The amount and the way I drive, I'll probably kill it soon, but I'll be on the lookout for a less sketchy serie I 505 turbo. so, just saying hey. cheers, -sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 hey sean any updates on that 244? post some pics up of your current state of the 505. also just wondering if you know of a gold nice CX that i spotted in alameda last week. Don't know about a gold cx there, but gold wasn't a factory color. I guess there are still some citroen folks under my radar. was it a long one? well, the pug is pouring fluid under pressure out of the steering box unions quite literally as fast as I can pour it in. So i cut the belt and when I get home it will be parked until I can find a better pug or the part in a yard. the 244 is for sale, I'm moving to San Francisco and it's one too many. it's running, stopping, driving but too hammered suspension wise to put up with mission st. free if you bring rollers 600 as is 1100 if I fix all the annoying problems and make it a car again. tell your friends and neighbors. I guess it's time I found some dollars and fixed the CX's exhaust. Meanwhile I'll be cruising for 505 power steering info... -src Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peugeottogo Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hey Sean, that 81 TD has been for sale many times. Just low ball an offer when you are there with him and get the car. The fan assembly is very easy to install if he has all the parts for it and the bearing is ok. I have a few TD parts since that's all I'm driving these days. jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
