Anthony 1,000 Posted March 19, 2016 Does the 306/405 etc XU10 inlet actually fit in a 205 without fouling the bonnet, as it sits quite high up where it doubles back on itself? The 806 type should fit better as that's similar to the turbo inlet from memory, although you'd still need further work to adapt it to fit 205 management and pipework.

Tom Fenton 1,524 Posted March 19, 2016 Hi , the intake fitts with no mods ... Not sure what kind of mods you mean ... I am hopping i cam keep this head valve cover because the original 1.9 does not fit... I will have to di research on that . Still have a lot of things to do to get it running ... Inlet will bolt on yes. But look at the ports. Square on manifold oval on the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_bugatti 10 Posted March 19, 2016 Inlet will bolt on yes. But look at the ports. Square on manifold oval on the head. Thanks , I had thought about that ... I was planning on just leaving it the way it is for now ... will this effect in any way ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony 1,000 Posted March 21, 2016 Judging from the airbox frame where the cam cover would usually be I'd agree that its likely from a 405 - I would assume that its a XU10J2 engine that's 122hp as standard. Is there a three character engine code on the block somewhere, as that should confirm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roland rat 11 Posted March 26, 2016 Also '405' written in white pen/paint in the block might be an indication haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_bugatti 10 Posted April 26, 2016 Fast update... Got the flywheel and clutch installed on the block ... Then got the block in the car.. I had to do a bit of mod to get the starter to fit this block ... Now working on the distributor , i had a vw distributor Just laying around.l so I decided to make an adapter to fit on this engine... It may just work ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackherer 543 Posted October 4, 2016 That's a good video, it's great to see a 205 somewhere it shouldn't really be! The cars in the background are such a contrast, particularly the Beetle As said above congratulations on getting it running. Any chance of a video of it driving? Preferably on a windy road with some interesting scenery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDude 33 Posted October 5, 2016 This is brilliant! You must be pleased to have turned a car which might have been scrapped here in the UK into a really lovely, working 205. You are a long way from Argentina, but they have a shedload of old Peugeots over there. Might be an option for sourcing parts, plus they speak the same language! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_bugatti 10 Posted October 15, 2016 Hi ... I have a problem with the fog lights ... I read somewhere that they only light up with HI BEAM but the stalk in my car does not work when I switch hi beams ... normaly in mexico all cars with fog lights work with low Beams ... is there an easy way to rewire to work with low beams ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,000 Posted October 15, 2016 They're not fog lights but rather driving lights - different light pattern. They should come on with the high beams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshpug 1,621 Posted October 15, 2016 replace the light switch and they will probably work. changing to fog lamps is easy enough, move the driving lamp relay trigger wire from high beam to dipped beam, you need a switch with a telltale also, you could use a standard psa fog lamp switch.

Mr_bugatti 10 Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Hi there ... Anyone here know if 206 eibach springs fit into a 205 ? part number EW2204001VA Edited November 7, 2016 by Mr_bugatti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,621 Posted November 7, 2016 yes, not a problem, that looks like a 106 part number though, but they still fit fine, front axle weights are quite similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_bugatti 10 Posted November 7, 2016 yes, not a problem, that looks like a 106 part number though, but they still fit fine, front axle weights are quite similar. Thanks ... i will proceed and buy them ... I will post pics before and after . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,000 Posted November 8, 2016 Those springs should be fine given that you're running the heavier iron block XU10 engine. With the lighter original alloy block engine they would likely have not lowered it by much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_bugatti 10 Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Got the eibach springs today ... These are a set of used springs .. Peuguot parts are really hard to find here in mexico... Specially aftermarket parts... Edited November 15, 2016 by Mr_bugatti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
