205 GTI Owners Club?

[Tib]

Hullo,

Just picked myself up a 205 GTI, and I'm trying to find an owners club to get a feel for them and what kind of preventative maintenance is worth doing - only one I can find though is closed to new sign ups. Does anyone else have one that they would suggest?

Thanks!

Yeah, that's the one; it's a strange one for me too. It's all over their homepage that they are now allowing signups, but no such luck in the forum itslef. I've emailed their admin and got no response.

Shame really, it looks something of an active forum, and I'm itching for some advice on my new toy. haha.

Thanks Alex! Oh, I have been doing a bit of reading and lurking, would just be nice to get access to some of the locked sections.

It transpires that I'm only about 15 miles away from PugRacing, so I might drop down there and see what the craic is.

He's done work on mine before - I've seen rear suspension refresh receipts from a few thousand miles ago so I'm hoping he recognises it.

Electrics wise, I'm fortunate enough that mine actually starts on the button every time with no throttle or anything. I have noticed a wheel-bearingy sorta noise though coming from the front, but it doesn't seem to change when I throw it round a bend, so I'm a little confused at what that may be.

Hoping he could pass on a recommendation for a local place to repair the little hole I have in my front wing also.

Just following up, now have membership access - thanks for you help, Alex!
