Goce's 06 twin turbo diesel peugeot

[GoceKU]

First of all this is not a classic or a truck but is interesting and broken so i thought i'll share it. This vehicle is not sold in the US and is rare even in europe. I found this Peugeot advertised on a local site cheap. The advert was written very badly and only mention a slight coolant leak. I grabbed my car keys and went 130 km away in another city to have a look. On the body and mechanical except tires it was in good shape. The engine is a different story, it producing pressure in the cooling system and there is engine oil in the coolant. After negotiation the price to where it can work for me and cuting his asking price in half we shook hands. i left him a deposit, and went home, next day i went back 130km and transferred the title on my name, return the license plates, get temporary plates, went thru the inspection station and begin my 130 km drive home, the first 50km was fine but then temp gauge started to drop and engine oil temp went up. I stopped and found a DIY radiator hose blow off and dump all its coolant. I attach the hose filled the system with water and continued, next 30 km was holding but then the temp gauge dropped again at zero no indication that is overheating, i stopped and it has spilled out all the water i put in the coolant system combined with engine oil and it won't accept any more it was boiling and spitting. I had stopped at a road works so all the road workers come by and stood around waiting for it to cool down. Then i filled it and made it further 20 km and same again, did the same then took 10km to do it again and last few km i stopped 2 more times but got it home, the first picture is dirty how i got it that night next two are form the next day me washing it. Now i'll be tearing the 2,7 HDI twin turbo engine part by part to fix it. I wanted to share my experience with it and all my struggles.

Pretty car....

But as my friend Dick says "The French follow no one, and no one follows the French"

BTW, his wife is Cajun (French) and they have both British and French cars.

Cheers,

John

Goce, you are one patient and persistent guy.
Looking forward to following your adventure with the Peugeot.

Let the adventures begin. I spent some time today, washing the engine bay, from all the coolant and oil that it spilled out. After few hours to dry i drove it around to dry the engine. Then come somewhat tricky task of getting it in the big garage, it so long and so low that it will nose dive if i tried to drive it straight so i had to get couple of my other vehicles out first and drive in at an angle and the last few feet i use a piece of wood to drive on to, to keep the front bumper from scraping. Once i got it in i did not waste any time to loosen all the wheels and got it on jack stands, it's a heavy car, so i used the two jack method and get it high enough so i can get under it.

Excellent, I need another of your practical, logical, do-it-yourself build/repair threads!

I'll be Watching!

I wonder how that motor would do in my ol' CJ5...?

Get yourself a wrecked Discovery 3 and find out, i think you'll need some stronger axles those 440 Nm of torque like to break stuff. The Land Rover discovery 3 from 04 to 09 use the same Peugeot engine but i think only single turbo and 15 less hp and is the only vehicle that you can get this engine with a manual gearbox and a 4wd transfer case, do you feel a challenge coming?

Sounds to me like you have one or both head gaskets leaking.

 

[GoceKU]

I'm hoping it's just a cracked oil cooler and cracked EGR cooler but i know deep down i'll get intimate with this engine. Heads off, block out and... by the time i'm ready to drive it.

 

[Cadillac]

Yeah oil cooler will do it too. Lots of work ahead of ya. Good luck
