Faults:

Bought as a non runner.

First changed battery .

Found that it didn't get fuel, so changed fuel pump and one fuel hose.

Starter ran but didn't engage, so disassembled and cleaned - fixed.

Same with alternator, cleaned since it was full of rust and dirt.

Got it started but it barely ran, cleaned injectors and some bad connections in the engine bay wiring harness, then worked perfectly.

Fixed rust in both sills, generally it was rust free elsewhere, just some surface rust.

Partial sand blast and respray and tidying up to get it more presentable.

General Comments:

Bought as a flip car. Didn't run but fixed quite easily. Just shows how many useless dealers there are, since according to them it was "impossible" to get this car running.

Very comfortable. Like sitting in your sofa. Very quiet. Silky smooth engine and transmission. My 5 series (daily driver) felt almost like a tractor in comparison. Stylish in its own weird way. More luxury than a 5 series or even a 3 litre Opel Senator. Maybe I should have kept it?

Sold for 4 times the purchase price. Easy money.

Faults:

From sitting in storage 2-3 years, front suspension toe/camber issues required parts replacement. Got parts easily online and found Peugeot mechanic in LA competent to complete the job.

General Comments:

An excellent well-executed touring sedan. Spacious and extremely comfortable for front and rear passengers. A cavernous trunk! V-6 very tight & torquey, but slow. Gas mileage 12-14 city and not much better on highways.

Above all it's Pinifarina's minimalist modern design that looks better today than in 1978!

Faults:

Pre heat Control unit.

Minor electric problems and usual Brake and tire replacement's.

All repairs done by myself, as here in the US it's hard to find anyone who knows how to work on these cars.

General Comments:

I have owned several 604 TD's. Great riding and handling car. Get consistently 34 - 37 miles per gallon of fuel, very reliable and safe car.

Faults:

It has been a most pleasurable car to own. Whenever it needs a new part replaced I can do it myself because I am too cheap and untrusting of all mechanics. You know they are like politicians and only a small handful are honest...

The car drives like a dream and is much tighter than some of my other Peugeots...

I think the French production line employees had no knowledge of this one being a USA model because it is remarkably well put together and surprise surprise, the doors close like a Mercedes......

Of course I have put in an alternator, water pump, vacuum pump, used turbocharger waste gate....

The car still has such great character I can't part with it even though it uses a lot of oil and the heater core is shot. The dealer wants about $700... to put in a new one......

General Comments:

A car only the driver could love....

I never have had a positive compliment on my choice.... Those people should spend a week behind the wheel of a 604... They would have to be pryed away.......
