kenp 3 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Anyone know if proper 205 ignition switches are available anywhere? As stated elsewhere, the ones on Ebay are the wrong type with a 'X' fitting instead of a 'Y' where they connect to the barrel. Our GTi is suffering from the old clicky-starter problem and everything points to the switch (immobiliser wiring looks OK). I'm dubious about going down the second-hand route since I imagine most switches are getting worn out by now. Alternatively, does anyone know if the switch part from a later Pug (e.g 106/306 etc) would fit a 205 barrel (ignoring the plugs being wrong on the loom)?

pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted June 24, 2014 Neat autos have them listed on ebay complete with the wiring (which they should all come with imo) so the X or Y part shouldn't be an issue, for £27.99 + £2.99 p&p. g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenp 3 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Yep, seen that thanks but I'm trying to avoid having a different key for the ignition It's the electrical side I want btw - not the mechanical switch barrel. Edited June 24, 2014 by kenp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoody_g 4 Posted June 24, 2014 You can replace the wiring on its own and keep your key. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IGNITION-SWITCH-CABLE-LEAD-FOR-PEUGEOT-205-309-AL-MODELS-NEW-/370543785357?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item564621758d That's from neat autos as Graham pointed out.

Mac Crash 78 1 Cars Posted June 24, 2014 I have the correct loom part and Y switch piece you require if your stuck, know what your talking about as I removed a complete ignition barrel and loom from a car weekend past plus have done my own car not so long ago when one of the factory solders failed.

Ahem... Me earlier: As stated elsewhere, the ones on Ebay are the wrong type with a 'X' fitting instead of a 'Y' where they connect to the barrel. ..which applies to the one you've linked to - look closely at the pic and you'll see it's an 'X' fitting Edited June 24, 2014 by kenp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
