Re: [Biofuel] Peugeot 505 Cooling System Problems...

However they are better than nothing, right?

Sorry I am being silly.
I do apreciate the help. Now I know Haynes makes a book and I can ask
my local autoparts dealer for it by part #.

Re: [Biofuel] Peugeot 505 Cooling System Problems...
Fantastic Michael. Thank you so much for the advice. Simple things often cause people a lot of trouble, while we sit thinking, " Well I 'm screwed if it is this or that." Better to begin at the beginning. Your advice is perfect for me. Although I was a highly skilled auto mechanic twenty years ago doesn't mean I remember all the little tricks. Yes that was a long time ago in a galaxy far away. One thing I have going for me is I still trouble shoot for a living, computers now and electronics for ten years. At best, with vehicles I have become a tinker. Because of the energy crisis I have recently started working at home three days per week. I am loving it too. Now instead of worrying whether my customers can afford to give me enough extra cash to drive to town five days per week I can do more things for myself and family right here at home. Of course the biodiesel and now this Peugeot which I understand from the wikipedia once I get it running efficiently may attain 45 mpg! Yeah I'm lucky. Still, I would rather trouble shoot than start pulling components off. Back to the issues with the car. I did check the oil and no emulsion. I was glad to see clean but black oil. Typical for a diesel I understand. No oil in the coolant either. Haven't found the therostat yet, but I think it will be at the coolant outlet on the head, maybe inside the hose. No owners manual in the glove box was disappointing. In the trunk I found twenty years worth of service invoices. I didn't find one for a top end rebuild but the head is marked with paint pen like it may have been off recently. Not to worry I know the saying, "assumption is the mother of all fuckups."

[Biofuel] Peugeot 505 Cooling System Problems...
Brian, When you get an old car, never assume that the last guy to turn a wrench on it was competent. (Sorry to be negative! Yes, been there, down that!) It sounds like you have an over pressure issue in the engine caused one of several things. Check that the coolant is good, buy a coolant tester. Definately replace the thermostat on the car. Make sure that the thermostat is installed correctly. For example, in my Benz shop book, they have the picture wrong on how to assemble the thermostat. Make sure that the parts you are troubling yourself over are the correct spec for the car. Check that thermostat is operating at the correct temperature for the car. Just because it's in/on the car, don't assume that it's OEM. Sorry, you've just got to do your homework. The coolant system has to pressurize to work correctly. Go over the entire cooling system with a fine tooth comb. Get good quality parts, stay away from the fast food- style auto parts places who sell marginal quality parts.
