Thanks Leslie, exactly what I needed to hear
-
Hi has anyone the part number for the full red trim kit from the peugeot museum france , I can't find it listed i've tried individual piece numbers but they are not recognised .My pieces are all dented thanks .
-
The plastic ones had a thin spring steel washer on top to allow some movement , if they are bronze already they are probably fine.
-
Thanks Mei, I was considering following Peter's suggestion above of dispensing with the hard lines altogether, but I'm still undecided. Can I infer from what you say that they would be suitable to join braided PTFE hose to the calipers, master cylinder and slave cylinders?
-
Those two fittings look the same to me The typical flare on european cars is a DIN single flare, mushroom shaped, rather than the american SAE bubble flare. You wouldn't buy those fittings to connect to the hard lines anyway, the car side of flexible lines are female fittings with a groove for a clip, the rear lines from body to axle is female both ends other than the left side on a 1.6 that had a male fitting screwing directly onto a Tee secured to the body on a stud.

Now I am looking at this in more detail, I am uncertain what sort of 'flare' we need. Just using these two listings from the same seller as a convenient example, one says "convex" flare, and the other (a different price) "straight", but I am struggling to see the difference. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146306095109 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146103209481

I think the photo is a little misleading - in 'real life', the bushes are bronze in colour - but I wouldn't be able to tell if that was sintered or phosphor. I'm trying to establish the benefit we will get from replacing them. There is some play between the bushes and the bolt, but what is normal?

-
Those in the photo look like the original plastic ones Its worth getting rid of as much slop as you can There are bronze bushes available although my experience is that most need a small mod of some sort to fit nicely on the shouldered bolt/pin. Easy if you have a lathe but not so easy otherwise.

baker bm do those I got a set PLUS the gearlink rods PLUS the brass gearstick bushes https://bakerbm.com/product-category/products-for-205-309/gearchange-linkage-products-2/ and Pug Racing may do them too but not sure ..? they used to do the gearlink rods
-
oem was plastic, so yes. Bronze would be good. That looks like steel?

205 CTI 1.6 exhaust
Bremar replied to Laurent's topic in XU 8v Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
Following on this exhaust discussion I need to put on my new downpipe incl. catalytic converter, before taking the car to get stainless middle and back pipes fitted. I have looked, but it doesn't appear anyone makes a stainless exhaust manifold to down pipe fixing kit. Just want to make it easier to replace next time (current ones rusted of course) Thanks Bremar. -
Is this bearing replaceable? Ours has a small amount of play around the shouldered bolt that passes through it, I'm not sure how critical that is the overall gearchange 'feeling'

205 CTI 1.6 exhaust
Laurent replied to Laurent's topic in XU 8v Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
Thank you very much. I’ll see if I can get the ring from the local company which supplied the exhaust. -
205 CTI 1.6 exhaust
pug_ham replied to Laurent's topic in XU 8v Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
There is a ring on the exhaust manifold that doesn't usually get supplied with a new exhaust unless you ask for it. Hard to find now but Peugeot used to do a full kit that was well priced (over priced now) which included all the bolts & springs etc too, part # 1798.80. The last time I took an exhaust off with the bolts rusted up, I knocked the top hat through the manifold with a drift rather than spend ages trying to get mole grips to hold the top of the bolt & undo the nut. They only have a thin flange & you replace them with new anyway. g -
Water temperature sensors
pug_ham replied to ArthurH's topic in XU 8v Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
From what I remember, the larger of the two sensors is temp warning switch & smaller the temperature sensor. Like Mei says, the rings on the sensors match the plug colour with the original wiring. g - Last week

The temp light sensor is either open or closed circuit. It has no resistance. -
Mi16 - XU9J4 - engine rebuild to go into a 309
petert replied to hoodygoodwood's topic in XU 16v Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
Lordy! Those valves are definitely removable. How else can could you successfully clean out the head? Use a long M6 bolt and wind it into the valve a few turns. You will then be able to withdraw each valve. You will probably need to replace the o-rings, or buy new valves. The same valve is used in GTi6 heads (one only though), #023517. Next step is to use a long piece of Ø6 rod, say 450mm long, to knock out the mild steel bungs on the flywheel end of the end. Only then can you be guaranteed of cleaning the head properly. Use Loctite 620 on the bungs when re-assembling and Loctite 569 on the hex headed plug threads. -

Thanks Baptise. Now they are disconnected and both spades, I'm not sure that will help. I'll measure the resistance when cold as per Mei's suggestion. However, these are a very useful set of diagrams. -
Mi16 - XU9J4 - engine rebuild to go into a 309
hoodygoodwood replied to hoodygoodwood's topic in XU 16v Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
After i am done decoking the combustion chambers and ports plus grinding down a few casting flaws i am going to clean out the head and the oilways ready for reassembly , i have removed the hex headed plugs from the end of the head , i assume the one way valves are not removable , I will squirt brake cleaner through the valve and try to get some tiny pipecleaner type brushes into the galleries . I am going to make a tool out of a length of broom handle with emery paper wrapped round to clean out the spark plug holes . I am turning up a couple of tools to help fit the 4 oil seals to both ends of the cams . -
Thanks mate, much appreciated

Blue for the ECU ( M889 be ) red for the gauge ( M890 rg ) and black (M855 nr ) for the warning light, at least in 1991.
