kyunis 0 Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) my 205 grd diesel has failed MOT on passenger side hub, I am finding it difficult to find one. What other hub is identical, which other hub can i use? Anyone got one!? Edited April 3, 2007 by kyunis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted April 3, 2007 As long as it's not a sports diesel like the STDT then any base-model hub will fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyunis 0 Posted April 3, 2007 They look very similiar to a 1.6 gti hub? Would a 1.6 hub fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted April 3, 2007 I think the offset is different on the 1.6 hubs. They do fit but you'd need to swap both sides together. I'm also not sure if diesel brakes are a straight fit to 1.6 hubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,627 Posted April 3, 2007 is it the hub itself or the carrier thats failed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyunis 0 Posted April 3, 2007 The carrier, too much play where the balljoint sits in. Anyway around it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted April 3, 2007 Any hub from a base model 205 & the STDT is fine, they are all the same. A 1.6 one won't be any good & neither will a 1.9 GTi hub. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy Seize 8 Posted April 4, 2007 A 1.6 one won't be any good & neither will a 1.9 GTi hub. Hm, strange, on german diesels the hubs are the same as on a 1.9 Gti.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted April 6, 2007 Hm, strange, on german diesels the hubs are the same as on a 1.9 Gti.... They aren't on any of the UK ones I've seen or owned (2 x n/a diesel & 1 x TD). Been base model hubs on both. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vern 0 Posted April 6, 2007 GSF list the same bearing for all models except the 1.9 GTI, whats different?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richsmells 2 Posted April 6, 2007 GSF list the same bearing for all models except the 1.9 GTI, whats different?. its bigger, driveshafts are thicker too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vern 0 Posted April 7, 2007 I know that 1.9 is different, I meant what is the difference between the other models, as they all use the same bearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted April 7, 2007 what is the difference between the other models, as they all use the same bearing. The 1.6 GTi uses a different drive flange which give it a wider track than the base models. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vern 0 Posted April 8, 2007 So the hub carrier is the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted April 9, 2007 So the hub carrier is the same. For the base, diesel & 1.6 GTi models its seems so; http://www.stuartmcguire.co.uk/pug/GB/205F/3/36A01A.HTM But its different on the 1.9 GTi. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
