    There is an input shaft seal in the gearbox , the earlier machined type you just replace the seal inside and the later type is pressed and you replace the whole piece. There is a paper gasket on the machined type.

    Cheers, different widths make sense then. The speedo o-ring, can't find a reference to it other than possibly this? Miamistu which if correct, appears to be this -
  4. Tom Fenton
    No 5 is a shim, used to set the preload on the diff bearings. If you are not changing anything to do with the diff then leave it alone. There is an o-ring that isn't shown on that diagram, that seals the speedo housing to the side of the gearbox.

    Thanks... The car does seems to have had a history of period mods done to it over its earlier years that (prior to me getting it) have mostly been removed / reversed back to standard. Was trawling through Miamistu's site to see what other seals etc. it would be wise to replace while the clutch / box is out. Below are the drive shaft seals (left and right), plus that single one at #5... it seems to have multiple versions that are all very slightly different sizes and not clear which is applicable to my car. Miamistu I'm only starting to delve into the mechanical side of the car, so learning as I go along... are there any other seals or similar I'm not yet aware of, plan is to get all that's needed up front and have the car off the road for as short a time as possible.

    its not uncommon to find a clutch pedal swapped for a post 90 variant, MA and BE use the same pedal.
  8. bacardincoke
    Thanks, that's something I always have to take into account with this car... has anything been changed away from standard or from what's expected? Hence the double checking. Cheers for confirming the length, had wanted to avoid taking the old one out just yet, before getting another, but think It'd be wise to do it just to be sure.
  9. welshpug
    the cable pictured is a post 1990 variant, yours being 89 'should ' have a clevis pin attachment to the pedal. not that it matters. the length of a rhd cable is around 1400mm

    Sorrento green Limited Edition

    Henry Yorke replied to David Simson's topic in General Car Chat

    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
  11. bacardincoke
    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...

    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.
  13. welshpug
    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.
  14. welshpug
    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.

  16. bacardincoke
    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!

    Front door speakers

    Tom Fenton posted a topic in Body, Interior & ICE

    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.
  19. SRDT
    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.

    Seat bolster foams

    sp_en_ny replied to Tom Fenton's topic in Body, Interior & ICE

    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.

    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
