How much POWER has this Peugeot 405 lost after 330,000 miles?

It should also be pointed out that that vehicle is on the original clutch at that mileage😮

As a recent victim of the joys of the Puretech this is a nice reminder of when PSA made brilliant engines. How times have changed.

If I bring Bella down, can you fit that engine? Cheers.

That engine is a piece of (albeit recent) motoring history. It needs to live on in another incarnation.

Back in the 70s the Peugeot diesel was the go to diesel Engine they had the reputation for strength and durability

My Citroen ZX 1.9 TD had over 400,000 miles on it when the back axle etc passed away. 60+ mpg easily on the motorway at 70 mph cruising. When I changed the cam belt and set up the pump timing as per the workshop manual , it went like the clappers, was quieter,smoother and hardly any smoke. A pain to do but worth it. I know its never usually done even at the dealers. Did the same on a 2.5 VW lump and that made a difference too. The ZX being light and with great road holding you could disillusion lots of hot hatches by sticking with them on the twisties. My one regret is that I missed out on a one owner ZX 16v Volcane ..... if only.

Those headlight protectors are like gold dust, Rich!

We ran a Citroen Synergie for years with the same 1.9 XUD lump. It had 7 seats, a flat floor, slidy doors, tons of room and did everything without fail. Would easily do over 50mpg on veg oil, loaded with 2 adults, 3 kids, dog, roof box & packed to the gunnels with camping gear. Wished we kept it & sorted out the bodywork as it was part of the family.

Bosch pump. I love a pug 405. I have collected 10 in the last 12 yrs from all over the UK… all stashed safely for when retire next year to play with … an Executive, 2x STDT’s, 3x GTX’s, 4xGLX’s …. All TD bar one…

Insanity, I regret selling my Fiat Tipo 1.9TD everyday, it has more than 400.000 km now, luckily a friend of mine has it so I see it regularly, but what an amazing car, old diesel engines are almost immortal.

Had x3 405 Peugeots , a 89 1.6 petrol, a 92 1.9D and a 94 1.9TD those diesel engines were brilliant especially TD (xud9) when PSA knew how to build an engine.

It would be interesting to see how it does after a bottle of redex, some premium diesel and a full service. I reckon it may do over 95

Straight Outta Ryton.... What a great little car, 30 years old. What a shame Peugeot management had that famous Top Gear breakfast meeting and decided to stop making great cars.....

Now as a 405 man if this car is to be scrapped would the owner sell it to save others?

Pretty impressive really i think the end of the good diesel was when the dpf come along. I mean some of them arent bad they are just too complicated. The older stuff is far superior.

My first car was a phase 2 306, my current car is a late CX. Every time I have to drive something German, I want to be in a psa car again. Friends have asked me how 30ish year old cars are that much more comfortable than modern vehicles.

I loved mine, amazing band wagon and loved the veg oil too with it's bosch pump.

A buddy had one of those; petrol, 120 PS, automatic. 7,5 litres on 100 km (31 mpg). Absolutely beautiful and comfortable. I’m German but I prefer French cars… 🚗💨🇫🇷

From Rennes Brittany, thank you for the Kilometer conversion ! =)

Had a GRDT saloon. Comfy. Someone once asked me why the car said "GROT" on the back.
