Hi everyone
After three months of wishy washy thinking and anxiety over money to
invest in my biodiesel project, this very moment my dream has been
realized. I am now the proud owner of a 1981 Peugeot 505 four cylinder
turbo charged diesel vehicle! I know what you are thinking,
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.

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
Wow, too cool, you all are.
I knew I was in the right place to learn.
Dammit all, there is so much to learn.
Thanks Juan, I was hoping there was something I could do right away
before I find a service manual. Flushing the coolant is a great idea.
I will pull off some of the worse looking hoses and
this helps.
Regards.

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.

Doug,
I never really checked it, but years ago it was said that Volvo used
the Peugot engine in their diesels initially and for many years.

Ok thanks
I realise that the compression should be comparatively similar between
cylinders, any ideas on what basic (ball park) compression should be
on a diesel engine? Antone know of a trick to seal the coolant system
for a minor leak coming from head gasket? Wishful thinking?
From the looks
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
