Various Topics on Peugeot

..ua.. ....

Having great fun with this car. I've learnt to ignore the water in diesel
light. Having a slight problem with the new disks and pads on the front, but
they are getting better with use. Seem to take longer to bed in than the
ones on my Volvo, but then again, the Volvo ones are stopping a tank not a
car.LOL. Seats are more comfortable than I thought they would be, even
though the back flexes like an office chair when you push back. Only problem
I've really had was the right hand front spring coil broke, luckily at the
bottom so it's still sitting OK (missing a quarter turn) I can feel it in
the handling, but it's stable and will be replaced this weekend.
The best thing is the fuel consumption. I'm used to filling up 60 litres
every 5 days with petrol, thats 300 miles of travel. I have done 340 miles
in the peugeot and by the looks of it I may have about half a tank of diesel
left, judging by what the gauge showed when I got the car, filled it up to
the top, and where it is now. At the least I have 20 litres left in the
tank, taking into account how flighty the peugeot fuel gauge is. I won't
find out for sure till I fill up again and do the mileage/litre thing, but
It's already paying for itself.

Nice to hear that you enjoy your car.
Have you read my update too? I've started building a 205 TDI.

Greets, Jon.

Thanks for the reply Jon, I read your project - you're way advanced for me
!!! One of my friends had a new TD 205 a few years ago. That thing really
shifted !!!! Good luck with yours.

Almost completely finished with the TDI. Only thing is the turbopressure and
the colour of the bonnet.
The turbopressure is going to be fixed tomorrow. I hear a windy noise while
accelerating which is getting louder as the turbopressure is increasing. I
think is the little tube going to the gauge.
The colour of the bonnet will be fixed in one or two weeks.

Text in dutch.... Pics are clear enough I think.

What you cannot see in the pics, is my smiling face.

Hi heb jij een grijskenteken schrok me rot toen ik zag dat hij geel belast
wordt
wel lekker zuinig

..n ..ori..

Tis inderdaad grijs kenteken, maar dat belastingvoordeel geldt al lang niet
meer. Heeft te maken met de grootte van de laadruimte in verhouding met de
auto zelf. Die is te klein bij een 205. Maar wel veel ruimte achterin!
En inderdaad, aardig zuinig.

Groet, Jon.
