- Hi!
Today we're going to try to cold start this 1986 Peugeot 505 Turbo Diesel! These cars are known to be a "bit" cold-blooded for the Canadian North; not many survive around here today. Cold War Motors just picked up this 5 speed car last week; it had been sitting outside for years and it needs a basic cosmetic redo. I hope to fix up this sweet French cruiser next summer, but I wanted to do a Cold Start for you all first!

the diesels in these are reliable as fck
Thanks for the video, my cousin had a 504 diesel and after driving it I was hooked hard. Had an '82 505s, the gas version...so many decades later I still miss her, it was like driving on air. They were build with that old WWII scrap metal which was a rust magnet in Florida. That 80's styling era of the Mercedes, BMW and Peugeot...such grand dames. Never once had it in the shop, but oil changes were a pain without that tool! So far ahead of their time with that big V4. Who knew that would have become such a standard which is evolving to battery vehicles. Lets give a shout out to Lotus, too, for that same vision.
i didnt know that peugot has car dealers in te usa
@@peterlonter9053 They pulled out of the US long ago, I'd love to have one again but the 505 was a rust magnet, the repair to the area around the windshield was more than the car's value...but she was the smoothest ride I'd ever owned to date.
Living in Alberta there’s always something great when an old car starts on a cold winter day!
Very comfy, and heated, too! Apparently they also start a little better than I thought.
One of the best diesel engines ever! Seen a few 205, 309, 306, 405 diesel Peugeot engines with well over 500, 000 miles and still going strong. Highest I have ever seen was 657,000 miles in a 306 diesel..... Meant to be a 405 diesel in the UK with over a million miles on original engine.
PSA diesels have always been top notch! We had a 306 1.9 D turbo and I have a 308 2.0 HDi daily beater. The 2.0 HDi that's still in production has an almost identical core (block, crank etc.) to the old XUD, which in turn can trace its design back further. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! They basically just added a 16V head and beefed up rods, then unfortunately emissions devices in the more recent variants.
I did have a old car like that, it did drive 609,375 mile's or 975.000Km in Denmark, best car i did ever have, 27 km on 1 liter of Diesel 110 HK. 505- 2.5 TD
That is quality🙂.
its the legendary 505 I ve been raised looking at this car . its very robust and reliable
That's awesome you got the 1986 Peugeot 505 TD running thank you for the video
The old brother of his, the 504, was used for taxi in Argentina. The 504 was in production until 1999.The people remember the car like a strong, unbreakable and comfortable car. My neighbor was owner of one
Love this story! When everything's going right in life!! A harder-to-start car starts, a guy's BEAUTIFUL Friendship with His Dog, and such well-behaved, calm, sweet, pretty 1 at that!!! I could watch just you and your dog ALL DAY LONG!!! :) --- and I am a Cold Start Finatic!!! :) Would you consider doing some "A Day in Your Life with Your Dog" videos???!!! Anyone else agree???!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I have always heard that these 505s are known for being good starters in cold climate.
French Mercedes with the heart of a truck
the was a real strong car. It will be nice to have one.
These cold-start videos are best watched in the middle of a hot, hot summer with sweat trickling down your back and little bugs buzzing in your ears!
had the 505 srd and GTD with full leather, AC fantastic car
hello beautiful peugeot. they have a very nice walk. I have a 505 GRD 87 station wagon. greetings from Argentina
It is right that the IDI engines can be temperamental in the cold, but with good maintenance and decent glow plugs they'll start fairly easily. Easier than an old petrol/gas carburetor that's for sure!
Easier then and old carburetor gasolin car? I think you would stuggle to beat the Cold start of a carborated volvo 240 series....or an old ford v4 engine for that matter.
I like Peugeot the most of the French cars. Even some modern ones look pretty good.
I was just kidding around. I thought that was obvious. I own 8 French cars and half of them are diesels. They start pretty well, considering. They earned a bad reputation in Canada because the weather here gets extremely cold, and they wouldn't start even when they were new without some modifications, which this car has. My friend was the Peugeot dealer here in the 80's, and he even said they were hard to start. They are lovely cars to drive; that's why I bought one.
Africa loved them, even people in Europe bought a new dat the old Peugeots were exported to Afrika, shiploads full of them.
You can still find those old Peugeots in daily use over there.
"Everything is working. It's just... it's just French." Haha, nice one. x)
My grandpa had a GTI in its top model version when it was a new car, i remember it as a very powerful and fast one, he sold it in the late 90's, i wish he'd kept it, not as a classic because its not but, it was a good car.
riejurv50 a classic for sure ,I had one myself
So loyal my dad had one it had been all the way across Africa
Epic start up still after all these years, lovely! Hope you get another one of these gems for a Summer roadtrip. Thank you👍
The Pooj! I had a 1979 504 Diesel Wagon which was a total cream puff.
God, I love 505s, wish there were more left in the US. "Everything's working, it's just... it's just French." LOL!
The sound reminds me of the old pre-turbo VW diesels that I had...
Ah great cars these! Wonderful sound too. I have recently bought a one previous owner 2.2 petrol model. showing 36k miles. It's in really nice original condition with only some small work to do as its been stood for a while. These cold start vids are, weirdly enough, very therapeutic.
Hey, thanks for the tip! This car is actually equipped with a switch that allows me to leave the glow plugs on as long as I want. Thanks for watching, and take care of that sweet 307! We cant buy any modern Peugeots here in Canada; the last ones we got were 405's in the late 80's.
It's like diesel in North America wich always had a "bad reputation".
Just because peoples didn't know how to use and maintain them.
Using starting fluid and killing them while they needed new glowplugs for ex.
All the cars have block heaters in cold countries even US brands.
I don't understand why this brand have a bad reputation because it do not start when extremely cold while it's the same for the others.
I once owned a 1975 Peugeot 504...super car but not a diesel....you have a super site even though the 505 won't start, revision, did start...always h ave a dog to h elp you. :)
You are Wright about the 505 BUT when they replaced that engine with the 1.9 either n/a or TD the are amazing starters. I've had loads of em. My old van struggled once when it was -15 so I thought it must have a glow plug down, nope all gone. It still started fine it was just a bit knocky for a second. Changed plugs and first flick every time. Still have a 1.9 now and I'm not in the slightest bit worried about cold stars.
peugeot for life.. its not perfect.. but mastering and getting around those imperfections make it the best..
Sounds Great!
Boy I miss mine. I had an 81 with a 5spd down here in Ga in the late 90s. It was a tremendous car. But was a lil cold natured. Even down here in the south. I always cycled the glow plugs 3 times Then she would fire.
Thanks! And thanks for the tip...
I think that these old diesels have a very good reputation for longevity.
Peugeot power !! :D
Hey, thanks for checking it out! I really like the old Peugeots, too. This one needs a bit of work, but should be a very nice car once it is touched up.
I found your channel because of your restoration of old Peugeots and Citroens. Awesome cars.
Peugeot Diesels as good as Mercedes Diesels!
They are reliable!
Extremely reliable
Haffschlappe vw tdi are the best engine car ... no offence
VW diesels are garbage compared to Peugeot diesels...it's why Peugeot is the number 1 selling light-duty diesel in the world used/installed in multiple applications beyond their cars, but used by other car makers as well. Wanna 2018 F-150 HDI twin-turbo diesel? It's a Peugeot....Ford knows not to install a junky vw diesel in their pickup. Wanna small diesel for your: home,in a ship,etc. ? Peugeot...although never inexpensive...you'll find them everywhere. Wanna G-Wagon or the BMW equivalent with a Diesel? Peugeot is on the option list. And the Pushrod Indenor Diesel is so rugged....BMW manufactures it (2.5 litre) under Royalty-License from Peugeot...that is very present. That's the same 2.5 version that was used in boats,ships,hooked up to generators, 505s, 604s, Fords,etc. in straight or turbo diesel form...with or without an inter-cooler.
D McNamara you can go f@ck yourself stupid idiot
Oh, did you get your feelings hurt with the truth? VW Diesels are garbage!.
The biggest issue was batteries without enough power on really cold days to crank the engine and run the glow plugs at the same time. Scarce dealers and unfamiliarity with diesels compounded the problem. Maintenance prevented these problems, as you said. However, a domestic, carburetted gasoline car would start at -30, without being plugged in or maintained AT ALL for years and years. Hence the "hard starting" reputation; it's just relative. Nothing wrong with the engine, they are very tough.
Those are hard-starting but they sure have comfortable seats.
Yeah, the old Volvos were great. I had a few 240s; very tough cars...tons of miles. For cold starting, though, nothing beats the old Plymouths at -40C!
Thanks for all the information! I guess I won't give it away too cheap, if they are that rare...
I'll maybe do another video of it once I tidy it up and touch up the paint.
Amazing!
I think Stella knew it was going to start by the way she was acting.
Send that snow down here to Indiana. We need it because the drought continues.
Cool car, for a late model. Love the small diesels.
nice sound!
nothing wrong with a good old Peugeot.
I've owned several Peugeots never failed me
Looks like my 84 505 GL gas version. Great car!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, that is why I love this car till death, I love PEUGEOT 505, an AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING CAR.
Great cars!
I had about 6 or 7 of those starting 1980 and up ,, with good glow plugs and strong battery , its no much trouble getting started ,, your conditions can be called extreme ,, worth of a block heater and battery electric blanket.....
today i started my 1987 volvo 740 with maybe 600000-700000km on it at -2°C.i didnt try it since last march and today it started at the first (short) try! you got to get one of these swedish bricks!
I have a 505 diesel in one of my old Land Rovers. Good starters when cold. Only if all glowplugs work of course.
Yeaaah ! Awesome car. The last RWD peugeot. Love them.
Nice !!!!! Peugeot 505 turbo Diesel 👍
I've had ten 505s since '82 & still have 8. My 84 is still on the road. No TDs, only 'cuz I couldn't find an XD3 wagon. The 505 is an exceptional car, with superb ergonomics & classic (Pininfarina) good looks. The gassers start well in the cold. Though not precision built-like Japanese cars, the Pugs are tough as tanks, very reliable and extremely competent on the road. The wagons carry 1/2 a ton/37 bankers boxes. They aren't perfect but I haven't been able to find a worthy replacement.
son los mejores autos! muy confiables y duraderos!
I think it was about -22 Celsius that day. Not too bad, but I don't think it would have started without being plugged in if it was much colder.
magnifique la 505 :-D :-D
Cool car.
This is definitely my newest car, but I don't have a "rule" about how old they have to be. I have several cars from the late 70's and early 80's.
Get a geo Metro!
man i still remember these peugeot, during my childhood in the 90's here in DK, most of them are sadly gone
We in Algeria dubbed this car Bride of the road ..... Peugeot 505 & 406 The Best ..4ever
Nice find :)
On these old Diesel Peugeots, if you have a hard time to start, brand new glowplugs always make a big difference. (I had one case where all glowplugs were working but not pruducing enough heat to allow the engine to start).
Too bad Peugeot doesn't make any rear wheel drive cars anymore, the 505s where the last :(
Superbe !
It was not obvious at all,that's why i wrote this comment.
I don't know what the problem with the French people in The US and your country but we can see and hear a lot of things like you said here about us like in the big US movies they are often bashing at us.
Sounds like the pistons are trying to swap cylinders... Time to check the oil lol
Derek Joon:
The sound you hear (popcorn/crackle machine noises;when cold cold or warm) is the sound of perfect compression of a Low-Pressure Indirect Injected Diesel from extent.
great engine....
The best car ever made
I still have my 1983 505 srdt auto. Rust has got it now and sadly I had kids vandalise it two months ago. They smashed the glass out, and I was very sad . It was a fantastic reliable long distance lounge room with out the wallowing. They are a rare car now in Australia. It was nice to see Stella as well. What ever happen to it Scott?
Hi Doug! I sold it years ago to a fella who was going to convert a 505 wagon to diesel...Cheers!
belle voiture
It runs like new. :-) DIESEL FOR LIFE! :-D
I have a 1979 504 Peugeot, love for you guys to restore it.I'm willing to deliver the car.
i like your dog its cool
That thing sounds Amazing! Are you a car lot or car collector? Love the video's and Sal!
Thanks for watching! Decent amount of snow this year so far... I don't really keep track, though! Definitely enough to get the old clunker sleds out and hammer around the yard!
The Peugeot diesel was designed by Ricardo Engineering-very good engine.
fire the glow plugs some more,instead of one time, because the combustion chamber is too cold so you have to preheat some more so fire the glows 5 times or more and immediately the starter
It does have a nice sound, sometimes you just have to give it a little throttle
Nice :)
Do you still have this 505 or has it moved on?
This video was posted on my birthday lol :P
Perhaps thinking of the PRV engine?
Yeah! So was I, actually! This car has an override switch that allows me to keep the glow plugs lit while the engine starts; maybe that is why there wasn't too much smoke...
Was curious what the temperature was. So I looked up the historical data from Environment Canada. There is no station in Ardrossan, and the closests seems to be Fort Saskatchewan. They didn't report any data on December 6th, 2012. But reported a minimum of -17.5 C on December 5th.
Actually not that cold. I'm sure it gets way colder in Ardrossan.
I've got over 2 feet in my yard and am about an 1hr 45m north west of Edmonton.
Yeah why would you say it wouldn't start. The 505 diesel was known to start in the winter. We had one just like that especially for winter use - it always started.
If you turn the key the glow plug light should come on. I find with my Peugeot 307 Sw HDI if you turn the key without starting it let the glow plug light come on then go out. Repeat the process three times it will start after a few turns of the engine and some start straight away. You will save your battery from going flat too! Hope this helps?
"Everything is working it's just French"....
This car started pretty good for a car wich was sitting outside for years.
it's an IDI engine you have to maintain the preheating system in good shape.
I know Canada and US owners have tons of stories about europeans european diesel from 70 80's but it's just because they didn't know how to maintain and use them properly.
You should take a look at the actual powerstroke engines and all he problems they have.
It s snowing a lot in Canada but at least you get some sunny days , here in Britain is a Shit day every freaking days
Hey what is going on with the little power surges?
Haven't seen one of these in like 15 years at least. In Europe.
Haha! Yeah, I couldn't keep her out of it! You are welcome to all the snow; stop in and take as much as you like...
Typical diesel when it is cold rattling away until they warm after a long hot run. Use the glow plugs about 2--3 times when it is that cold NO diesel engines like starting COLD use glow plugs!!!!! ❤🔥❤🔥
I think it's the 2.3...
I Think you should check the condition of the Battery after that Cold weather
Magnifiques ces indenor justement je vais demarer un 4.88 de 504!
Maybe it's just my computer having a bad day (it's about as old as this video), but I had a blast trying to keep up with and understand some of the gibberish that the CC spit out. I first had to switch them from Dutch to English, but it was just as bad, in a funny way :p
Yah I know my father had had a couple of wagons.
