Why Peugeot 504 Diesel Engines Overheat
Production Years: 1975 - 1988
Engine: XD2 Indenor 2.3L Diesel
Typical failure window
Cylinder head warping under thermal stress combined with original gasket material degradation; exacerbated by cooling system neglect.
| Repair Tier | Dealer Price | Specialist Price | What It Involves | Longevity / Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Minor - Gasket Replacement Only Minor | £800 - £1,200 | £550 - £850 | Remove cylinder head, replace gasket, reseal liners | Short-term fix only; head may warp again if not skimmed |
Intermediate - Head Skim + Gasket Intermediate | £1,200 - £1,800 | £850 - £1,300 | Head removed, machined flat, new gasket, liner seals replaced | Viable if block is sound; 40-60k mile expectation |
Full Replacement - Rebuilt XD2 Engine Best Value | £2,800 - £3,600 | £1,800 - £2,400 | Complete rebuilt unit with upgraded gasket, tested liners, bench-run | Best value for high-mileage 504s; 12-month warranty included |
On a classic 504 valued £5k-£15k, a full rebuilt XD2 at £1,800-£2,400 offers better long-term value than repeated gasket repairs. We recommend replacement if the engine has covered over 100k miles or shows liner seal leakage.
From XD2 head gaskets to ZMJ oil pumps, Peugeot 504 engines have known failure points - but replacement doesn't mean writing off your classic. EngineMarket connects you with UK specialists who supply rebuilt units with upgraded components addressing the original weakness. Compare prices, check warranty terms, and arrange supply & fit nationwide - all without the main dealer premium.

A rebuilt Peugeot 504 engine typically costs £1,600-£2,400 supply-only, depending on engine code and variant. Diesel XD2 units sit at £1,800-£2,400, while petrol XN1 engines range £1,600-£2,100. Supply & fit adds £600-£1,200.
The XD2 2.3L diesel is widely regarded as the most robust Peugeot 504 engine for classic use, offering strong torque and longevity when maintained. The XN1 2.0L petrol is also reliable if timing chain wear is addressed preventatively.
XD2 failures are typically head gasket blowouts or wet liner seal leaks, often triggered by overheating or age-related gasket degradation. These issues commonly appear between 80,000-120,000 miles on original units.
Yes, if your 504 has collector value (Cabriolet £25k+, clean saloon £5k-£15k). A rebuilt engine at £1,600-£2,400 preserves value and reliability. For rough examples, compare engine cost against total project budget.
Yes, but compatibility depends on mounting points, transmission match, and cooling layout. XD2 swaps between saloon/estate/pickup are straightforward; V6 or later XU swaps require specialist adaptation.
The engine code is stamped on a plate on the cylinder block or head, often near the dipstick or timing cover. Common codes: XD2 (diesel), XN1/XN2 (petrol), ZMJ (V6). Enter your reg above for instant DVLA verification.
