wicked 103 3 Cars Posted November 21, 2017 Has anyone ever tried to fit a 206 brake booster on the pedals of a 205? This is the aftermarket 205 booster: This is a 206 1.6 16v booster: Both 9", but the 206 item is much cheaper. The bolt pattern for the cylinder is different, but no problem for me. The 206 GTI booster is even 10", but probably too aggressive for a 205. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,621 Posted November 21, 2017 I'm not sure they will fit under the lip of the scuttle panel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wicked 103 3 Cars Posted November 21, 2017 But both are 9"? The 206 GTI one is 10" indeed. I'm looking at the one of 206 with NFU engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted November 21, 2017 Right hand drive 205 GTIs only have a 200mm (8") brake servo. The 225mm (9") one doesn't fit so you probably wont find much info on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cobalt_drill_bit 7 Posted November 21, 2017 Hi Rolf, If you're willing to share. What are you aiming for regarding a different brake booster? Is it just cost or do you want to modify pedal travel, pedal effort or maybe even other things? I had a mechanic installed a 205 GTi 1.6 brake rotors and pads on my baseline 1.1 205. But I kept the original brake booster. Maybe an GTi one has more force multiplication. Which could be slightly more suitable for my 205?

wicked 103 3 Cars Posted November 21, 2017 Nothing special; the booster on my CTI has a lot of rust and I want a decent one... The 206 units look pretty similar and are a lot cheaper (new) or easier to find in scrap yards. Hence my question... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
