Hi Brian, About the Peugeot 505, If the smoke is blue and white, your car is burning oil, this could be the o rings of the pistons or a liking gasket on the head of the engine. About the coolant, it seems that one of the lines are blocked I would recommend you to flash the cooling system of the

Good find! On the smoke, I'd replace the coolant hoses so you can get it up to operating temp, and check the glow plugs.It could be something as simple as a bit of unburned fuel due to being cold..., and will go way when it's warm. On 10/7/05, Keith Addison [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: October

Congratulations on the new car! From my experience, if I were in your shoes, and looking at a foggy day, I'd be thinking twice about mixing my methoxide today, the NaOH will turn to liquid before you can blink, drawing water out of the air. (That might clear out the fog) Instead, I guess

I have a dim memory from decades ago of reading a comment on the Peugeot 403/404 engines, which said that they were excellent and would have been good racing engines for their size class - if they hadn't had rubber seals (o-rings?) between the wet liners and the block (head?). Consider the

Hello everybody Thank you so much for the replies. I was told when I got this car that it had a blown head gasket. The reasoning the mechanic used was excess pressure on the coolant system. Also, now that I have started the engine a few times it fires up pretty quick. Here is an excerpt from a

I think that the volvo diesels were just a 2 cylinder longer version of the VW diesels. Makes sense, since the VW was 1.6 liters, and the volvo was 2.4 liters. I've heard that the puegot diesels were used in 80's jeeps, but this was on an unconfirmed internet forum and seems fishy to me. Only

Somewhere around 400psi I think? Check the VW forum. I've tried the copper flake sealant for the coolant when I blew the head gasket on my subaru. Actually worked okay for a while, but it also finished clogging my heater core that was mostly clogged before. I've found that replacing a head
