DESCRIPTION:
After 50,000 miles of wear nothing was worn out.
Recently the editors of Road
Test magazine put a Peugeot diesel through a 50,000-mile test drive, then pulled it completely apart.
While their conclusions represent the opinion of only one group of automotive experts, we’d like to share them with you:
“Judging from what we have observed during this test and teardown, owners of the Peugeot 504 diesel that service them by the book can have full expectation of watching their odometers turn 100,000 miles without having to do anything major to the car except replacing the clutch.”
They then went on to say, “The concept of a lifetime automobile is a great one, and if any car should be on top of the short list of those cars, the Peugeot 504 diesel is it.”
Strong praise, indeed, but not unsupported by what they found.
The brake linings were hardly worn at all. “The projected life of the front linings is 6 times the distance of the test, and that of the rear linings boggles the mind.”
The shock absorbers, which are built to be good for at least 60,000 miles of normal driving, were “dry around the shaft seals and in perfect working order.”
Transmission parts were “completely unscathed and gave the impression that, so long as there is lubricant in the gearbox, they are capable of rendering indefinite service.”
The intake valves of the engine were “in excellent condition.” The exhaust valve seats showed “little in the way of actual wear and no indication of burning’." The valve lifters were “difficult to distinguish from new ones’." The cam lobes and bearings “were in perfect condition.” The timing chain was “as good as new.” The oil pump was in “flawless condition.” The crankshaft bearing journals “measured to new tolerances.”
The water pump, vacuum pump, starter and alternator “were not remarkable except that they all appeared to be in good serviceable condition.”
But among all the roses, there were a few thorns. The car was caught in one of California’s notorious sandstorms, which caused severe pitting of the windshield and frosting of the headlamps.
As a result, the windshield wiper blades had to be replaced, as did one of the sealed beam headlamps.
Also, the window on the driver’s side got off its track and had to be rehung.
“And that was the total of unscheduled maintenance for the 50,000 miles.”
