Hello
I just bought a 1995 srdt 306 sedan
165km for $2700
Is this a good price?
I have read that these can possibly get 950km to a tank, but on my trip down from Chch to Dunedin i used half a tank for 350km. I have heard that its hard to fill them right up though, as i only put 42l in. Anyway it was a bit of a worry as I bought it because it would be efficient!
Also the battery seems to be fairly dead, what size/make do you recommend?
700k off a full tank is awesome economy! us petrollers are using a tank for 4-500ks :P
20l for 350k is pretty sweet economy.
all pugs/citroens seem to be a pain in the arse to fill.
yes but its apperantly a 60l tank, so would be only 8.5l/100km
you wont need a fancy battery, the no maintenance ones now come with like a 3 year warranty from memory, you can get them anywhere
Do you guys think the price was right?
Hey bro
I think you got a good deal, those diesel turbos are the bee's as far as I'm concerned 8)
Yeah wouldn't trust the gauge so much.... You'd be better off doing a litres filled/trip meter type calculation. That would probably involve running it until you get the fuel light though :-\
my father has a good diesel mechanic so I might get him to give it a once over and make sure everything is clean and up to standard.
I just bought a new battery, $177!!
my bat was $200 :'( got a $30 discount tho in the end 8)
my volvo used to do 750-800k's off a tank of gas, and i was driving it pretty hard :P loved it
what sort of volvo was that monnymc?
440 glt - 2 litre 8v i think
'twas fast 8) but not as fast as a pug :-*
^^powered by renault :D (i think)
correct!
Back on topic for a bit, I think you got a good price.
The fun part will be making it into a "Di16". That will be a different project and certainly fast.
Welcome
What is a Di16?
heheheh
the conversion of choice for an 8 valve 205/309 is to put in the 16 valve variant - the Mi16 - hence, Di16 = Diesel 16v
don't worry, 8v turb diesels are cool enuf :)
man I so wanna tinker with a diesel one!
Is the 16 valve engine the HDi? or is there a better diesel engine?
Does the DTurbo have the 16v engine?
Its not too hard to get a bit more go out of these cars eh? Would it effect reliability/fuel economy much? Im looking at buying some peugeot mags at some stage, not a big fan of the hub caps
bigger turbo! :D
turbo + boost + wind more fuel into it = win.
fuel economy will of course suffer but if you're kind to it, it wont self destruct
So if I follow these I shouldnt go too far wrong:
