Given where you live @David Simson, and the fact you are on holiday next week, there isn't really an excuse not to drive 20 minutes down the road this Sunday to go to the Peugeot Sport Clubs Peugeot Festival and see a lot of other really nice 205's and a load of people from this forum https://pscuk.net/pscuk-peugeot-festival/ Not many sorrentos now as the paint was awful on them and the lacquer went milky and peeled off and a full respray was not worth it when they were £500 cars. Those that offer to buy them off you on the road often don't appreciate the stupid amount of money they now trade at

Clutch Kits (Specifically Release Bearing Differences)...
bacardincoke replied to bacardincoke's topic in Gearbox & Drivetrain
Cheers... so just to clarify (and assuming the box is the original) the 07/89 onwards kit 620 1150 00 with release bearing 500 0327 10 (that's pictured below), is the one to go for. For once I appear to need the cheaper version of something! The cable was the next thing I was going to ask about. The cars current one is of the type also pictured, with that hook on attachment at the pedal end. They appear to come in different lengths (possibly because of LHD / RHD versions) ... most though are advertised as 660mm from tip to tip and 367mm between the grommets. I can't get in well enough to measure my own, but at a guess I would say it's not too far off those figures (assuming of course the correct one was previously fitted). Thanks... -
Clutch Kits (Specifically Release Bearing Differences)...
SRDT replied to bacardincoke's topic in Gearbox & Drivetrain
To know if you have a BE1 or a BE3 you just have to check where is the reverse gear: next to 1 for the BE1 and next to 5 for the BE3. Late BE1 casings are the same than early BE3 ones so it's not really helpfull when you're too close to the switch date. -
Clutch Kits (Specifically Release Bearing Differences)...

your's would also have the rares of the 3/4 clutch cables used, clevis pin on the pedal, but BE3 at the gearbox end clips directly into the casing. -
Clutch Kits (Specifically Release Bearing Differences)...

be3 in a 205 uses the bearing with the plastic clips, cross shaft with arm on top rather than the ball pivot arm with a quadrant that BE1 uses. -
Clutch Kits (Specifically Release Bearing Differences)...
bacardincoke posted a topic in Gearbox & Drivetrain
Late October 1989 UK registered phase 1.5, 1.9 (128hp) GTI, original engine and no reason, until the contray is shown, to suspect the gearbox isn't also... cars exact manufacturing date unknown. BE3 box - Intention is to change the clutch in the near future. LuK is my preferred maker, due to previous good experience on other cars. Below is a link to their own eCatalogue... you'll see it lists two potential kits. LuK / Schaeffler My interpretation is each kit consists of the pressure plate / disc and release bearing. The difference between the 2x kits is soley the release bearing, with the disc / plate being shared. You'll also see the cut off dates that differentiate one kit from the other are for vehicles manufactured up to 06/89 and from 07/89. Sods law dictates my box (if original to the car) could potentially be either. While the date of when the box's outer casing was cast is May 1989 and predates 06/89, it's not inconceivable it could have been used to assemble a post 07/89 box. The images of the 2 x types of release bearing are from the interweb, so subject to confirmation, but if correct you can see the differences. Soooo, to the question... Anyone found themselves in the same boat and if so some pointers (or any other thoughts) to help me source the correct kit! -
I'm looking for a set of component speakers to fit in the front doors, I've got a set of Infinity in another 205 which are great, but it seems not made any more. There are a wide range of options out there from around £50 to over £300, can anyone shed any light on which are a decent choice spending up to say £100? I don't really think I need a set of £300 speakers in a 205. These Alpine look OK to me but is there something else I should be considering?

Cti and Gti running gear differences
Deantracy17 replied to Deantracy17's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
Thanks for the responses. I had 2 GTI’s back in the day, but the CTI is in my budget. I guess one benefit of the standard control arms is that they are only 27 pounds each and here on Friday. Bargain. Been a 7 year restoration, so nearly there. I was going to do the rear beam in the winter. Never driven it before, so was disappointed to have crunching gears between 2nd and 3rd. Assume the synchro is worn. Another job for the winter. Thanks once again for all the posts. -
Cti and Gti running gear differences
SRDT replied to Deantracy17's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
All convertibles have the big rear beam like the automatic and the F, torsion bars may vary to match the non-GTI front. Peugeot used regular arms on the CTI to make it less obvious that the shell wasn't stiff enough. They did use 1.6 hubs and brakes so the CTI is better than the GT/XS but not as good as a true GTI. -
Cti and Gti running gear differences
Henry Yorke replied to Deantracy17's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
As Tom said the rear beams are a lesser spec. They have a smaller anti roll bar than a GTI, so this is an easy upgrade -
Thanks chaps, I may give the Youngtimers ones a try.

Cti and Gti running gear differences
Tom Fenton replied to Deantracy17's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
The CTI is quite different to GTI. Track control arms like a base model. The rear beam torsion and anti roll bars are also smaller than GTI I think. -
When I ordered my set from Dave 2 years ago he had not been well than. Had been diagnosed with the dreaded C word. I think youngtimers do them, I see post on FB not long ago where someone bought a set from a firm in France but were really poor in terms of shape but can't remember the name of the company. Just did a quick search and would appear to be a set on ebay but have no idea of what they are like.

Cti and Gti running gear differences
Leslie green replied to Deantracy17's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
The Cti is really just gti interior although the rear seats are not interchangeable afaik and body kit . There are probably other differeces I just dont know. Even betwen 1.6 and 1..9 gti the front driveshafts ,hubs , front and rear brakes and axle are all different. -
Think Dave hasnt been well for some time now . I was looking to buy some and his seem to be the only dual density foam ones .I do see ones on ebay from france but no idea what they are like.

I’ve just put my CTI G reg in for an MOT and it failed on the lower ball joints. Looking for replacement lower control arms and had a surprise that they are standard 205 arms and not GTI arms. I always thought that the CTI was the same running gear as the GTI. It’s a 1.6. Out of interest, does anyone know what else is not common? Thanks, Dean

A/C wiring diagrams or fault finding help pls.
Henry Yorke replied to brian j's topic in Body, Interior & ICE
Really useful this. I am currently chasing my aircon not coming on on my 1FM. Again it has gas etc but I can't get the pump to kick in, so I wanted to test the pressure switch was working and if i have read correctly then it is 12v to pin one on the pressostat connector. I'll give this a go in a bit -
Hello all Has anyone bought a seat bolster foam recently, and can recommend where from? Dave H/205 GTI Covers and Trim doesn't seem to be doing them at the moment. Thanks
-
Its won't be because its overfilled as it will come out the top breather at worst , 150ml won't make much difference to the actual level.It leaks while driving as thats when the oilis thrown about and most likely is the seal isn't in square as its difficult to do in situ as you are not pushing it in till it seats .If you had a piece of metal the seal could fit though 1mm thick that would sit against the gearbox flange to guarantee its in square once to get it started in the bore or just use a 1mm washer at the side of the seal to limit how far it goes in each tap when you are near seated.

That’s what I first thought but I pulled the box off Sunday morning and it was in the the right way

205 xs with vtr engine drive problems
Tom Fenton replied to gtiburge's topic in Gearbox & Drivetrain
Not that familiar with the MA box stuff, but have you fitted the clutch plate the wrong way around, so its holding off on the flywheel? I think you are going to have to take the box off. -
This morning l I did a oil level check and about 150 ml of oil came out, so maybe it was overfilled, and pushing out the seal, maybe why it only leaks under load ? Gavin
-
Forgot to mention only seems to leak when I'm driving, when the car is parked up it doesn't leak. Kind of maybe points to an overfilled box.?

iv just finished putting a saxo vtr block with my ported and camed 3s head in my 205 xs, I’m using a 1.1 ma gearbox out of a 106/saxo , and the clutch out of the vtr , with original 205xs drive shafts it all went together fine but it won’t drive its like the clutch is completely worn out slipping badley won’t even stall it , am I missing something? some compatbily issue ? Could be the pressure plate is lost it’s spring but it bolted up fine ? The long shaft drivers side is the only thing I question possibly it’s not gone all the way in the box? (Possibly looks that way hard to tell )but it certainly felt like it went in properly and the mid bearing bolted up fine , just want some opinions before I go pulling the box out again ! shafts are standard 205 xs shafts I’ve used the mid bearing holder from the 3s 1400 engine and also the 205 xs gearbox top mount I can’t seem to find a definitive answer on the conversion I have searched plenty I no it’s been done plenty of times Thanks for any help
-
The not going all the way in with the seal refers to earlier be1 gearboxes I believe ,1.5mm right hand side and 1mm left hand side as shown above by SRDT I put my be3 seals flush from what I remember and they seem ok , 3 mm out seems too far out as the seals are not very wide to start with.
