What are signs my Peugeot drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Peugeot 505? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Peugeot 505 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 505?

Is it possible to reset the 505 malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 505's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Does my 505 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your 505 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your 505 forward.
