    Yep ! it's all the same identical crap from the same factory with crap blueprints for making them ! ... just repacked by various different brands and offered on sale here . I did some research via my parts supplier wholesale catalogue , there's pictures of the wishbones and if looking closely - pretty much all of the brands now on the market selling suspension parts , known and unknown brands , are reselling these the same item crap wishbones for the 205 GTi !! = DO NOT BUY ! (unless TRW , Lemforder .. and maybe Teknorot) I see , then you got one "old stock" good and one "new stock" crap wishbone ... TBH , i wouldn't really risk going Sasic again - try instead Teknorot .. they're in Turkey , massive suspension part manufacturer , and there's a lot of parts for PSA and Renault both new and old made in Turkey , Morocco , Algiers ... quite a lot of old french cars still driving in those areas too . Thus , I'll hazard a guess Teknorot wishbones for the 205 should still be OK. ! Customers service is crap nowadays no matter which location on the globe , people do not care s*** no more for anything but waiting for they're shift to end and getting paid on the end of the month . Take it easy no need to stress , they'll find out somethings up when they get enough of the parts returned back from the sellers . What ever you do , do not open up the original package and watch for the package label (label's , barcode ect.) - if all good , not opened (inspect part trough the plastic package) , all the labels still on and not damaged you can return it back from where you bought it and get full refund .. just watch out for the specified time limit in days in which you can return it back (differs slightly depending on the shop/seller and discount % if you have any in that shop ..) Thanks for the pictures ! D

    This is a picture of the delphi one i got supplied you can see the Chinese stamp with the four numbers/ letter after it. You can also clearly see that its a lot chunkier, the webbing is a lot fatter. I spoke to my.guy who has a stock of peugeot parts and he only has used ones. So im going to order another sasic( last in stock) from MA and pray that its not another chinese one. I called their customer service and ask if there was any chance that they could check the package before sending , the guy basically said No as its a robot who picks the parts? When i tried to explain the situation he basically said that all their parts where good and it was me who didnt know what i was doing when ordering off their site. Call centre TWAT! Luckily they have a 30day return policy and tey pick up the postage fee ( Luckily post office is 50m from my house do dont mind sending stuff back). I also allex sasic and explained the situation and they guy said he would forward it to quality control. Didnt even ask me for any contact information or photos so probably going to file thatbone in the bin, vive la France. I will let you know how i get on with the other sasic one.

    Damir, got two wish bones L&R both are suppose to be Sasic, the left one fits properly and ( bushes machined properly) and the right one is another chinese crap excatly design dimensions as the delphi one. Its as if supplier is sourcing them.from.the same factory. Both have sasic ball joints, and both came in a sasic packet with a sasic label. pictures 1-3 are the good sasic arm which fits. Pictures 4-6 are the Chinese one. You can kind of that its a bit chunkier and has a chinese stamp followed bu the numbers 1j22. The last picture is the Delphi one and you can see the same number.

    205 Cti 1.6L Project

    I tend to pay £800 to a grand for cti's depended on certain things not being broken looks like a parts car to me unless 15k miles is original also location plays a big factor

    Adjustable bottom arms

    Interesting, did you run the standard ARB? Any other mods with them? How old are they and why are they for sale?

    Adjustable bottom arms

    they are only plate steel, not possible to use the standard arb, and have been quite a few exampled of them bending with braking forces. better bet if you must go adjustable is an insert welded into the original wishbone by a competent welder fabricator, or save up the pennies for something from Satchell engineering.

    Adjustable bottom arms

    Got a set of used compbrake for sale. Shout if you could be interested. never had any issues with them.
  12. Just found my own post from 2012. It had a 5 5 code back then which we decided was CO pot related (it is missing now the car has lambda, so makes sense) amazing what you forget in 12 years.
  13. I drove it around and have codes back. 5 5 and 2 1 2 1 makes sense. The throttle pot was a cheap, nasty POS when I bought it 8 years ago, but all I could get in a bind. I have a new one ordered. the lambda is the correct part (genuine Peugeot) albeit old now. It may be faulty but it isn’t the wrong one because it hasn’t been changed and was fine for a long time after fitting. 5 5 does not appear in the list of codes. It is definitely 5 5 and not 5 4 (phew). any ideas what that could be?

    Motronic MP3.1 diagnostics

    ... or you might've erased it while trying with other diagnostic tools . Drive i for a while and see what happens ... One thing which these old Bosch engine management's do not like is - wrong O2 sensor type ! Must be titania , not the more common zirconia O2 sensor .. as the ECU feeds voltage (5v) to the O2 sensor and looks for voltage drop via O2 sensor for mixture correction . D
  15. Worked out which pin was pin 2. interesting and unhelpful result though. start engine: eml on connect pin 2 to ground for 4 secs: code 1 2 - great. Start code ground it again for 4 secs code 1 1 - end. no other codes shown. for now I have cleared it by grounding pin2 for 15 secs and the eml is now going off when the engine is started.

    Don't forget tie rods.
  17. Thanks so much. I will go and try that. I assume one pin is an earth to it won’t matter if I earth the wrong pin?

    Adjustable bottom arms

    Been looking for adjustable bottom arms, found the compbrake ones but reviews are a bit hit n miss but cant seem to find sensible reasoning why? Anyone with first hand experience they can share. Any other brands out there that are not stupid prices?

    Brake pipe clips

    I believe retro race ones were bakerBM clips but Stew has paused them for a while due to a production issue, last I spoke to him he was testing new ones.

    Sorry but i do not understand correctly - is the new bought Sasic wishbone the same unusable Chinese item as supplied by Delphi , or it's good ? D
  23. DamirGTI

    Decent wishbone suppliers

    Yes but , 309 wishbones ideally needs 309 driveshaft to go along as a set when fitting on 205 . Anyhow thanks for info ! Any chance of a few good photos of the complete Chinese wishbone ? so that people could spot it without tearing/opening the package (as returns are excepted and 100% refundable if the original package and label is undamaged) D
  24. Not sure who this bad influence fellow member is, although rumour has it you are the bad influence on him.

    These came from a supplier called 'Dr car parts ' via ebay and have numbers and letters stamped on rather than chinese symbols so i can imagine are old stock or something maybe ?
