Subject: Re: 505 XD2 valve adjustment

Brian you must have a Haynes or Chilton book to give you that flat rate way of adjusting valves, I've never had any luck getting a precise adjustment that way.
Peugeot's suggestion for procedure:
Cool engine min. 6 hrs
rotate engine untill exhaust valve # 1 is fully open ( you can use the front

or rear cylinder as # 1, the french way is that # 1 is the cylinder closest to the flywheel)
Adjust intake valve # 3 (.004 or .006" read the tag under the hood, it can be either for the diesel), then adjust #4 exhaust 0.010", rotate engine 1/2 turn untill # 3 exhaust valve is completely open, then adjust #4 intake, # 2

exhaust, rotate to #4 exhaust open, adjust # 2 intake, # 1 exhaust, rotate to # 2 exhaust open, adjust #1 intake and # 3 exhaust ----- Original Message -----

The pod is held on by a wing nut IIRC, reach WAY under and undo it, then unscrew the speedo head, then remove. The 68 has plugs instead of the million spaghetti wires that the pre-67 model has, so that part should be easy.

Good luck

Pushing Tin In A Peugeot

06/04/2006David Linklater

Theoretically, the end-of-summer rainy season should be the time for a car like the Peugeot 307 CC to shine.

Top-down motoring on summer days and balmy nights? Anybody can provide that. But convertible motoring on demand, with no compromise on safety and wet-weather protection, is still the preserve of the folding-roof coupe convertible (that's CC to you and I).

In that context the facelifted CC is a fine effort. The complex folding-roof mechanism gives tin-top security and refinement, yet you can motor it up or down at the flip of a switch in 25 seconds. You can even operate it while the car is moving, at speeds of up to 10km/h - perfect if a downpour threatens and you're stranded in a traffic jam on the motorway.

The roof locks are activated by an electronically controlled hydraulic system and are fully automatic. The roof assembly is manufactured by CTS, the same German company that supplies roof mechanisms for the Mercedes-Benz SLK and SL models.

It's practical, too. The boot offers a sedan-like 350 litres when the roof's up. With the protective blind in place (the roof won't operate without it), you're left with a still-respectable 204 litres, although you'll need shallow luggage or soft bags to make the most of it.

And yet the CC is a strangely unsatisfying exercise. The 307 is a perfectly nice small hatch - smart looking, spacious and relatively sharp on the road. The CC, er, isn't.

Roof-down, the CC could almost be called elegant. The high waistline of the four-seat cabin forms a continuous line with the rear deck and the massive windscreen arches over the front seats in a dramatic, dare-to-be-different way.

Roof-up - the way it's going to be for most of its working life - the CC is a design disaster. The excessively cab-forward profile and pudding-bowl roofline are awkward and the big fat arse (required to accommodate the folding roof mechanism) is, well, butt-ugly.

You sit low in the CC, and you might as well stretch out because the rear seats are little more than a marketing exercise. The tapered cabin (that folding-roof mechanism again) means that the rear chairs are upright, extremely narrow and sans space for adult legs. Shame - although they're very handy for small packages.

The addition of a new variable-valve-timed 2.0-litre engine to the CC is welcome. Although the power gain has been minimal (an extra 3kW and 10Nm) over the old mill, the improved flexibility has given the CC a new lease of life. In its previous guise, the 100kW 2.0-litre automatic powertrain really struggled with the bulk of this portly 1573kg machine. There was a 134kW version with manual transmission that had considerably more verve, but they couldn't give those away to Kiwi buyers; it's not a manual-gearbox kind of car, you see.

As it stands, the new 103kW CC automatic has an acceptably lively feel and a harder edge at the top of the rev range than the old car, although it's still no traffic-light racer: in the 12-second sprint to 100km/h you'll be hard pressed to outrun a well-driven $20k supermini.

The four-speed automatic transmission is responsive if you're pressing on like a fashion model who's late for a photo shoot, but awkward and indecisive in regular around-town running.

The CC is the only 307 to have electronic stability control as standard (it's in a $1970 option pack, along with cruise control and alarm, on the hatch and SW versions). It's a system that monitors steering wheel angle, yaw speed and wheel speed, and can automatically adjust engine torque and individual brakes in order to correct a skid. Sensible bit of spec - not just because you expect such equipment on a $53,990 car, but because the CC needs it more than any other model in the lineup. It weighs a whopping 250kg more than the equivalent 307 hatch and you feel every kilogram on the open road.

Decent steering feel and a pleasant low-speed ride are the CC's dynamic strong points. But on rough surfaces the car flexes and fusses, while at speed the extra bulk introduces sluggish handling responses and unwanted body roll. You can still feel the fluent chassis of a 307 lurking somewhere underneath - it's just that somewhere along the way they cut the roof off and added the equivalent of three burly blokes to the body structure.

There are some pretty clever bits on the 307 CC. The plastic front wings (as per the other 307 models) are superbly practical for the inner-city driver, look past the styling and roof mechanism is neatly integrated into the body structure, the fingertip satellite controls for the audio are perfectly placed and the combination cruise/speed limiter (Citroens have it too) is dead-easy to use.

But being a Peugeot, there are also the inevitable build-quality niggles. Our test car was cursed with squeaks and rattles, and the wobbly boot wouldn't click shut unless you laid your hand dead-centre on the lid to ensure it landed squarely on the latch. There are clips provided to hold the unused rear seatbelts in place - ignore them at your peril. Left dangling, the high-frequency flapping at anything over 70km/h will surely drive you insane.

Personally speaking, I struggle to see the point of these kinds of cars at the best of times. With a few notable exceptions, the only proper convertibles are the ones that actually let you enjoy having wind in your hair - bespoke sports cars like the Mazda MX-5 and Porsche Boxster. Or indeed the natty new Mercedes-Benz SLK, which manages to combine a folding roof with svelte rear styling and a fun- -drive chassis.

Otherwise, all you've got is an open-top car that's less attractive, less practical and a whole lot heavier than the hatch on which it's (all-too-clearly) based. The regular 307 is a perfectly nice car - but in the transformation to CC, Peugeot seems to have engineered away most of the good bits and added $20k to the price.

Or perhaps the fault lies more with me than the car. I'm ill at ease in the CC and I probably don't understand the appeal; if empirical evidence is anything to go by, the 307 CC is really a car for brandconscious  Mademoiselles with big hair and even bigger sunglasses. Presumably, they don't mind a load of stylistic and dynamic compromise in exchange for the pleasure of a little low-speed opentop  motoring.

But as far I can see, you loose an awful lot to keep a proper lid on your Peugeot convertible.

For those that like the styling of the Toyota Yaris, there is a reason for
it; it's French.


"Thanks to its new design studio in southern France, near Nice, Toyota's
recent models look distinctly Mediterranean. Its whimsical Yaris, which
starts at $12,000, exudes Latin flair with its cute snout and peppy stance.
"The first good result to come out of our effort was the Yaris," says Toyota
Motor Europe CEO Shuhei Toyoda, one of the founding family scions."

I have NEVER successfully adjusted the valves on any Peugeot using the 'on
the rock' 
method.
The factory proceedure described by Mike Aube is written up as the
prescribed method 
in every Manual for Peugeots  that I have seen over the last 35 years.
And when ever I did it some other way I always had to redo it according to
Hoyle.
And unless you do it according to the manual you will never know if your
engine might not run better

Subject: 505 XD2 valve adjustment

Sounds right to me. I will pop the valve cover this weekend and re-adjust

-- High tech in the wild wild west. www.outfitnm.com Our cool old machines: 1981 Peugeot 505s TD 1974 Mercedes 250 1974 BMW Bavaria 1956 International Utility 460 Tractor [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message 12 From: "Brian Rodgers" brians.outfit@gmail.com Date: Wed May 3, 2006 10:50am(PDT) Subject: 81' 505s TD speedo issues Hi everyone. I was so happy last month when I freed the speedometer where the cable goes in. Not long afterward the needle began to jump and drop off at speed. I opened the cluster a few weeks ago and put a drill on the drive and noted perfect response, not jumpy like when driving. I assumed the cable was the problem, I cleaned and lubed the speedo and re-installed it. Last evening I pulled the speedo again, this time I examined the cable and its drive socket. The socket where the cable end turns the speedo is tapered and square. The cable end, I assume is supposed to be a similar shape, it is not. I also assume that while the speedo was seized the cable end was still turning, wore down to its present shape which is not seating in the speedo socket. Aside from finding a new cable has anyone solved this problem with a work-around? I slid a piece of heat shrink tube over the cable end to increase its size. It is working but I don't guess it will last very long. Conversely, I need a new or used cable which goes between the speedo and the cruise control box. Anyone have one?
