    Greetings Lee Limathi Njue,
     I,personally,regret,that you were offended.I have no knowledge of V6
    Peugeots or I would gladly try to assist you.
    I seriously doubt anyone meant any offense and I am confident that you are
    welcome to this group.
    I believe part of the response was due to confusion,not quite enough
    information and one other factor:lately in the news here, in the papers, on
    the internet,frequent warnings
    and stories about people who have had very bad dealings
    with someone from Nigeria. People have lost thousands,
    one woman is in jail after trying to deposit a cashiers check she was
    sent(the check was counterfeit)After such horror stories maybe you can
    understand why people might overreact. So, I hope you will forgive us and
    continue to participate.
    Best Regards,Daryl Wilson

    That's a British mobile phone number. The "MO" does sound

    whether it was a "drain the bank" tale, or "steal the car." In any case,

    Subject: 505 TW Wobbly Exhaust

        The exhaust on my 89 Turbo Wagon has been on the "to-do" list since I
    bought the car. I mean, the tailpipe was not centered with the slot in
    the back. Occasionally it would make noise because it was too close to
    the body. But really no big deal. It has always been wobbly, in that you
    can take the pipe, and shake it back and forth.

        I stopped by the jiffy muffler place (as I detest exhaust work) and
    they put it in the air. They were able to align the pipe with a little
    heat and a pry bar. Then they said, "No charge".

        The only trouble is, it looks better, but tends to rattle more. Not
    all the time, but on occasion. The big hanger that is near the axle (the
    looped rubber one) did appear to have one side of the rubber loop
    separating, but not broken. The guy said he didn't have anything like
    that. He said if I got another one, he could put it on for me.
    (Probably not for free, but that is okay, too- I have to go back for an
    alignment anyway, after I do the ball joints and the tie rod ends).

       So, my question is, is it normal for the exhaust to be wobbly? Should
    I investigate using one of those universal hangers, or should I source
    an OEM hanger and hope for the best?

        The rear hanger, for lack of a better discription, is a 3" rubber hose
    with a hole drilled in the sides for bolts, but there is also what I call
    standoffs that is a rubber block with studs molded in (3062.06), in the
    center to
    keep the system from wobbling too much. Most of the bumping noise may come
    from
    where the pipe goes over the rear cross member. A fix I have used is a piece
    of tire side wall between the pipe and the member, the weight of the pipe
    will
    keep it in place.

    Bill

    I don't think the stock wagon exhaust is hung securely enough. A universal
    strap-and-rubber hanger to the pipe at the rear of the wheel well firms
    things up nicely, but I have forgotten how to attach the hanger
    without penetrating the envelope, so to speak, inviting the hole to rust
    out, eventually allowing splash and fumes into the car.

    On another note, you may prolong the life of the system by repainting the
    welds on the mufflers with aluminum paint yearly. I always paint any
    unpainted welds on new mufflers before I sell them. Commonly rust-out
    around the welds is the cause of mufflers needing replacement. Drilling a
    small drain hole at the lowest point of the rear muffler may prolong its
    life as well if the vehicle is used mainly on short trips, allowing
    condensation to build up in the rear muffler, which is the last part to
    heat up.

    '82 TD engine has 8-bolt flywheel flange (81 has six-bolt), different
    starter, and ring gear. You will need a stickshift flywheel from 82 or
    later TD--put your 81 ring gear on it, use the 81 starter and
    bellhousing. Add a pilot bushing to the 82 crankshaft. '81 TD clutch disc
    and release bearing.

    It should hold the rpms at around 2200 or so if you are on the throttle and
    let off.
    This is most noticeable when the car is in N and you rev the engine it will
    scream up to 6000 easily and as you let it go it will return to idle with a
    slight pause at 2200-2500.
    I recall reading something about this in one of my Bosch or EFI books but
    cannot recall why or what the purpose was for.

    Subject: Re: RE v6 wagon conversion

    Hi, if you used the cradle (front crossmember etc?) from a donor V6,
    wouldn't the engine sit in the 'factory' V6 forward position ? What
    was the orig tranny in the body shell ? Most V6 conversions have
    engine to firewall space problems if the engine is put in the same
    position as the 4-cyl ones. The bell housing of the 4HP22 sits way
    behind/under the firewall looking at it from the engine side on the
    4-cyl versions, so when the V goes in there the rockercover hits on
    the circumference of the trans tunnel. Hence ,moving the tranny back
    seems to be an unusal approach to me !! Interesting that you have
    got tired with it - I can understand that, even after me being amazed
    at the get up & go of the V6, one becomes accustomed to it quickly.
    (But still noticing the cars trailing into the distance in the rear
    view mirror when at traffic lights !!)

    Come to think of it, maybe the space issue is not a problem on LHD
    versions - our RHD ones have the air handler stuff over on the 'port'
    side, that is the usual area of interference.

    Subject: Re: 1986 505 XN6 Rough Idle

    My 505 developed an idle problem, where the tach will jump up and down
    between 1900RPM and 900Rpm. The engine doesn't actually change speed that
    much, only 2-300 RPM. Very rhythmic.
    This is in neutral. When you put in gear (auto trans), it still does the
    same thing, just engine speed is not changed as much.
    On take off, will almost die out, then jerk, then runs pretty good once over
    1200RPM..
    According to a charge system tester at my work, it has a bad diode in the
    alternator. Volts are good, amps only down a little, and battery stays
    charged, battery new. (was badly sulfated), and charge light has never been
    on, and works properly.
    I found that a battery charger, on low 12V, will increase the volts found at
    the black harness connector on the RH shock tower, that leads to the coil
    pack, from 12.8 when off, to 13.6 turned on.
    The engine smoothes out, idle stabilizes at 1100RPM, tach rock steady.
    Seems the alternator is causing the problem. Before I replace it, any other
    thoughts?

    Subject: Re: Re: RE v6 wagon conversion

    It must be that the torque tube in the V6 4hp sedans is longer
    than the torque tube in the N9T 4hp sedans.

    Therefore the 4hp SW torque tube would have to be lengthened
    by the difference between the torque tubes of the N9T and V6 sedan
    to maintain the proper position for the V6 in the SW.

    Whether this is the same as the difference between the 4hp22 SW
    and the 3hp22 SW is something worth knowing to anyone contemplating
    the V6/SW conversion.

    Most likely the 3hp SW torque tube is too long making it the ideal candidate
    for
    the job as shortening is way easier than lengthening.

    The drive shaft from an N9T or V6 would be the best candidate as they
    are beefier than the lower powered cars but would probably have to be
    lengthened.

    The torque tube bearing would have to be from an N9T or V6
    to match their bigger diameter drive shaft.

    Is everybody still following?

      Hi, if you used the cradle (front crossmember etc?) from a donor V6,
      wouldn't the engine sit in the 'factory' V6 forward position ? What
      was the orig tranny in the body shell ? Most V6 conversions have
      engine to firewall space problems if the engine is put in the same
      position as the 4-cyl ones. The bell housing of the 4HP22 sits way
      behind/under the firewall looking at it from the engine side on the
      4-cyl versions, so when the V goes in there the rockercover hits on
      the circumference of the trans tunnel. Hence ,moving the tranny back
      seems to be an unusal approach to me !! Interesting that you have
      got tired with it - I can understand that, even after me being amazed
      at the get up & go of the V6, one becomes accustomed to it quickly.
      (But still noticing the cars trailing into the distance in the rear
      view mirror when at traffic lights !!)

      Come to think of it, maybe the space issue is not a problem on LHD
      versions - our RHD ones have the air handler stuff over on the 'port'
      side, that is the usual area of interference.

    Bill,

    I believe my car has the same pause in the revs when revving it in neutral...right at the 2000rpm level as well.

    I can certainly comment on the A/C performance sappng issues. While my system is probably holding only half charge at the moment (it cuts out if I sit in traffic for too long...will deal with it this spring), when the compressor is running, the car's performance suffers dramatically. It feels like a loss of about 20% power or so in my opinion. However, the freon in the system that cools the car is ice cold compared to the R134a in either of my two Saabs. I recently converted my 900 Turbo convertible to R134a (from a dead system) and the compressor sucks power. However, the HVAC in my Saab 9-5 Aero has almost no effect on the performance of the car, except in very hot, humid weather...but then the turbo performance suffers due to air density issues.

    Thus, I'm a big proponent of open sunroof and windows in the Mi16 to avoid the performance drain. Front windows all the way down and rear windows 2/3 to 3/4 down and you have the perfect open car, with no cross buffeting or vibration.

    Cheers, Paul Hughes '89 405 Mi16, 86K

    AS i used the cradle etc yes the v6 sat in the factory position as it would in the saloon as i thought it would be best to keep it as std!! as possible This option meant that the tranny was too long to mount on the origional mount but not by a huge amount hence the reasoning that you could move the engine further forward to get the tranny in but i prefered keeping as much as possible in the origional position

    Getting the power unit in was the easy part the wiring was the real challenge due to the abs loom being integrated with the v6 loom so many plugs you dont need!!

    My car had a zf4 tranny before conversion so it was the right shape tunnel etc there was no problem with space it looked like it was meant to be there!

    Message: 19 Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 11:14:24 EST From: PEUGPETE@AOL.COM Subject: Dielectric grease

    GROUP I've had a couple people ask about dielectric grease, so I thought I would put this out. The primary purposes of dielectric grease is to keep out moisture, and prevent corrosion. Prevention of corrosion keeps the metal-to-metal contact point in a connector conducting electricity. If the grease conducted electricity, it would allow the tracking to ground of the power or signal being conducted. It's neutral and forms an excellent 02 block. Also lubricates but w/o any specific bulk. Wont' work for heavy loaded bearings, etc. Great for multiple plug blocks, relay contacts, slide contact switches, rubber lube, speedo cables when combined w/graphite, etc. In addition it is used for a heat conductor when some electronic components are mounted on surfaces to dissipate heat (like the ignition power stage on coils). It is non-conductive, but when you slide the connectors together there is metal-to-metal contact and the grease gets displaced but the area around connector is protected from moisture. If the grease was conductive it would be too easy to get "bleed" from one pin to another in a connector if the grease got hot and liquified and spread. DO NOT ever grease an oxygen sensor connector as the sensor is vented through the wiring on many sensors and the grease will contaminate sensor over time and it will cease to function. It helps keep the contact clean. Dielectric grease can be used to improve conductivity in bullet and spade connectors while protecting the joints from exposure to moisture, dirt, acid, what-have-you. Check the local auto supply. PP

    the N9TEx needs a good NON spike-able boost controller.. i've been looking into electronics controllers quite a bit, but i could see it going either way. a stiffer actuator would rock (ie danielson actuator) :)

    alan, were you able to find anything else out about 'modifying' the signal sent to the EV?
