The Peugeot 504's classic engines are robust but age brings known failure points - XD2 diesel head gaskets, XN petrol timing chains, and XU9 belt failures dominate UK replacement enquiries. Every rebuilt engine supplied through EngineMarket includes upgraded internal components designed to address the original failure point, plus a minimum 12-month...
XD2 Head Gasket Failure

Peugeot 504 GLD, GR, Pickup, Familiale (1975-1988, XD2 Indenor 2.3L Diesel)
Failure mileage range
80,000-120,000 miles
Typical failure window

Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Gasket Replacement Only | £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 | £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 | £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 |
Our recommendation
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.
