Peugeot 205 gti 1.6 new owner
Discussion
Hey everyone,
Just thought i would say hello and introduce myself as a new owner of a peugeot 205 gti in white. Its a phase 1 1.6 and is in good condition for a car that is 28 years old, its done 100k and has good service history. A fewingerior comestics to be sorted such as the gear gaiter and a few missing bits, mechincally the car is good with a strong engine and box. Trying to sort out the water temp gauge at the moment as its not working, the needle moves when ignition comes on so i know its not the gauge or supply to it, it could be the sensor or sender unit? Strange one.
Hopefully keep it off the road for the winter months and store it in the garage.... Well thats the plan, see if i can resist the temptation!!

Not had an amazing amount of time to use at the moment with other commitments in the way. When i have used it ive stretched its legs on the country roads and it has been a joy to drive. It is nearly 30 years old with no power steering not brilliant brakes so tou have to remember the ability of the car. There are a few things that need doing that i have found since driving it such as the bushes,
Still having an issue with the temp gauge but overall it is a blast from the past that reminds me of my boy racer days, ive also enjoyed working on it just doing a few things here and there. Worth the extra money.

No not really. There some surfsce rust on the rer arch which i plan to sort over the summer. Again there is some surface rust in boot from where seal had been leaking. Other than that its quite a tidy example. The bay needs some tidying and cleaning and there maybe a smll leak somewhere but it doesnt appear to be using much oil at all.
My intention is to get to a good showroom example and really freshen it up
