You could search google for "Bosch 0438170029" and see if other part stores have one. Stock Wise Auto?Originally Posted by painterdave72

The cheapest Bosch accumulator # 0438170029 I found was at Rock Auto for $103.79 plus shipping. They show 3 remaining in stock today.
Same one is also for a PEUGEOT 505 1980-1986
It is the full size

I ordered the rock auto one.. hopefully that is the issue.. the car is still hard to start when hot after an hour or so.. it will eventually start but takes a bit...

If I enter "fuel accumulator" into the textbox, all it gives me is AC parts.

Post a picture of the accumulator when you get it. I am curious if it is green or silver. I was told the last run of accumulators Bosch made were silver.

My accumulator is 10 years old, and I'm having some hot start issues.
I'm assuming the units is best located away from the heat of the engine, but why can't it be relocated to some place more accessible? Its a PITA to replace.
