Any Peugeot 505 owners that can help a lady out?
My lady friend has an issue on her car and I am trying to lead her in the correct path to get it fixed. Won't shift is the issue.
Thanks in advance! Dal

guessing it's an auto?
My Dad had a 505 turbo diesel. Really a nice driving car. The auto tranny was the only thing on it that did NOT break, I think, though. Pretty sure it's a ZF unit... FWIW Check the fluid? Last edited by tcar; 07-01-2008 at 12:48 PM.. |

Its easy. Sell it and buy a real car! Sorry but frog cars and "understanding" are two worlds colliding IMHO.

I am assuming it is an automatic. I am waiting on some info from her yet.
To sell it one must get it running, geez ok you don't like a French car but I did not ask for opinions I asked for some help. Thanks Dal

I think that the Peugeot 505 is one of the models that share a lot of commonality with Volvo and Saab models of the same era.
You may be able to find a Volovo or Saab mechanic that is familiar with your transmission. Good Luck

The french have been difficult with spare parts for eons on most anything. Why buy a car in America you cannot get spares for?
