1978 Peugeot 504 Ti review from UK and Ireland
"Unashamed Luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator is a little on the slow side following a prolonged spell in the garage. It has alway taken many miles of driving to correct itself. This problem was also evident in my other 504, a GL.
Worn exhaust had caused many miles worth of head aches with a constant vibration rattle through the gear selector. Thankfully, the radio was able to drown out the noise.
General comments?
Unlike the GL, the Ti is a far superior car with the Kugel Fischer injection system. The car pulls cleanly away hot or cold and starting is prompt. This system enables you to drive using all the available power with ease unlike the GL with a carburetor that uses the second choke as an on/off switch. This isn't so good when attached to an automatique gearbox as kick down is in exactly the same place as kick down.
