Peugeot 405 GRDT 1.9 1993 data

I am looking for any data about this car since I bought it recently and have
no manual about stuff like fuel quantity, fluids,.....
Any usefull links are welcome as well as experiences.
Anybody selling a maintenance manual in any form feel free to reply.
Of course it has a handfull of bugs but so far I am pleased with the car,
( you get what you pay for) ;naturally changed the belts immediately but my
mechanic does this by memory and not by the book.

Thanks in advance,
Damir

 

Hi,

Fuel capacity : 70l ;
Coolant capacity : don't know, change every 2 years with -30°C fluid ;
Oil capacity : around 5l including filter ;
Timing belt : 120,000km or 5 years (first term) ;
Max speed 175KPH.

 

You could try a scrapyard, some of them don’t clean out the cars so
you can come across manuals every now and then.
I’ve never understood why people don’t give you the manual when they
sell the car. Maybe they throw them away :?

Errr, that would be in seventh gear with overdrive engaged?

:/)))))))))))

 

Hi,

LOL ! I wrote 175KPH, about 110MPH. That was the official manufacturer
figure, I guess it's pretty true, due to power (92HP on a '93 DT) - keep in
mind that the 405 had a good SCx (Cx=0.31, S+/-2 (I don't want to calculate
this today), SCx =+/-0.62/0.65). That's the only one thing you have to think
about, 'cause weight is almost neglectable - from 35KPH you mainly fight
against air resistance to move faster.

 

Someone I worked with was picked up in a diesel 405 and the police clocked
her at 115mph. Probably a tail wind but pretty fast.
