Additional Notes

  • The Peugeot 505 power steering system holds 0.65 liter across all six listed configurations, spanning the 1.8, 2.0, 2.5 diesel, 2.5 turbodiesel, fuel-injected, and turbocharged injected variants. A capacity at this level is characteristic of a rack-and-pinion or recirculating-ball hydraulic assist reservoir rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • The 0.65 liter figure represents the fluid reservoir capacity, meaning the volume available for top-up and routine service rather than a complete drain-and-refill of all hydraulic lines and the pump itself.
  • All configurations share a 20,000 km check interval under normal use conditions. A check interval, as opposed to a change interval, means the fluid level and condition are inspected at that mileage point rather than the fluid being replaced on a fixed schedule.
  • The normal use condition tied to the 20,000 km check applies uniformly across petrol and diesel variants alike, including the turbocharged 505 Turbo Injection (1985-1988) and the 505 TD 2.5 (1985-1990).
  • The 505 Turbo Injection covers the years 1985-1988, a shorter production window than the 1985-1991 span seen in the 1.8, 2.0, diesel, and standard injection variants, yet the power steering capacity and service interval remain identical.
  • The 505 TD 2.5 runs from 1985-1990, one year shorter than most other configurations in the lineup, while still sharing the same 0.65 liter capacity and 20,000 km check specification.
