- Last week I mentioned a really annoying clanging noise form the back end of my Peugeot 205 GTI, this week I have a new tool to help diagnose where the sound is coming from!
We do like the Ferrari. But this, my friend. This is why we’re all here!
Do an at home underbody restoration project. Will make great video’s and do the car wonders...
blaupunkt sqr-46 dab is a great stereo that is designed to look old school.
I love you're 205 Jack, its funny how the retro cars look way better than the modern stuff also way more fun IMHO 😀 👍
I absolutely love it .dream car for me .I owned a 1.6 twenty one years ago D734 YBB .sadly when I sold it it quickly ended up on its roof
Me too!!! D766OKO. I sold mine in 2000 for £800 (((((
@@My911 me too B520 RVR went all over Europe and took me to my wedding in Litomysl Czechoslovakia in April 1990. Stupidly sold to a neighbour for £500 when sprogs came along.. aahhhhh.... I want one..
I was absolutely pissing myself when you were driving round the car park with the headphones on , unorthodox but certainly effective 😂
I always wanted one of these. They looked perfect in white with the tinted black windows. The standard version was surprisingly nippy but was so high up on the front suspension. I love how the GTI has the badge above the rear arches,it looks proper cool.
Thanks for watching Joe!
Loving your 205 vids, great job 👍
Thanks fella!
Congrats! Great episode, again!
Kangarooing: I’d try some injector cleaner for a full tank if you hadn’t done that already, also the throttle wire as they sometimes have too much play on old Pugs even from new, but they are easy adjustable by the throttle body. Just pull the shim and adjust until you got max 1-2mm of play. Just my guessing here!
Thanks Per!
Two things that improved the throttle response on my 19911.6 GTI : Injectors cleaned and Superchips ECU. New chip made a big difference.
Still remember spinning it on the brakes into a roundabout!
It’s in my mind constantly!
Never mind Magnum and Poirot. You are the MacGuyver of DIY car diagnostics! Microphones!! 😂👍🏻
Ha!! Thanks Ben!
Very cool.
My uncles bet mate had a laser green one of these back in the day. I remember going to a Peugeot owners club day with them at Silverstone in it and seeing the Peugeot touring cars going out.
I don't know the first thing about this guy but I find his videos endlessly entertaining and informative. One of you English gits should get this guy and James May together to see what they'd come up with together.
You're a really good mechanic. If you had the tools there's likely no limit to what you could do yourself.
You are too kind and have too much faith in my ability. But thanks!
Great to see you such a happy chappy after fixing that 'clunking' noise. We used to use that microphone set up at Millbrook. Alternatively, we also used to stick a graduate in the boot :)
Ha!! Would love a graduate to stick in the boot!
Lovely Jubbly, looking forward to seeing more and more of this Peugeot 205 Gti.
Cheers Paul, have a great weekend!
Red Sharpie pen on the felt at the top of the door cards - brings them up like new. Also, Kiwi liquid shoe polish, with the sponge head on the black trims. Lasts ages, cheap and really easy to apply. 👍
Thanks buddy!!
No worries
Love you were so happy fixing the clack! More than when you bought it
Small wins like that are priceless!!
I could somehow feel your joy after sorting out the recalcitrant noise.
Loving the open and unpretentious methodical approach to problem solving.. really appreciate your contributions.
I need that noise finder tool so bad! If you were in the U.S., I could hook you up with a very nice head unit, but will say that I recently installed a Blaupunkt SQR46DAB in my old Mercedes and I am really happy with it. They aren't cheap, though. Glad you solved the clunk!
Thanks buddy!!
The clicking on the starter motor can be the voltage to the starter make sure the main power cable from battery is in good condition and there’s a wire for the ignition that goes from the two brown plugs under the steering column into the engine loom then there is a brown plug above the gearbox where it then goes into what’s called the sensor loom that goes to the starter motor. It’s worth checking the voltage as it can be low due to all the connections between the ignition barrel and starter but the weak point is the brown plug above the gearbox it get lots of moisture and oil exposure over the years. I can recommend Miles at Pug Racing for all things 205 related also the 205gtidrivers forum and BakerBM for parts.
I think you made a great choice in buying a 205 GTI, a car so close to many of our hearts. I admire your patience and common-sense approach to fault finding. A pleasure to watch these uploads and feel a touch of nostalgia.
Thank you!! Have a great weekend!
GREMLINS - the 3 rules.....
1) Do not expose the Mogwai to light - especially sunlight as that is fatal.
2) Do not let it come into contact with water.
3) NEVER feed after midnight!!!
Right, joking aside, it is good to see the progress you've made so far and the fun you're now having 😊.
I can offer some advice with regard to stereo systems/speakers:-
If your system has an output of, say, 25 watts × 4 RMS (that is 25 watts hooked up to four speakers) then I recommend that the speakers are capable of double (50 watts RMS). This helps to ensure a lower level of distortion and means you're unlikely to blow a speaker. Blaupunkt is a quality, albeit expensive, speaker I think worth strong consideration.
Hope that helps. ♥️ these vids 👍.
Thank you for the advice on the stereo and on the Gremlins!
I think the throttle cable from the 90's is ready to be pitched, either rust jammed or cable wires are fraying and catching and creating a ratchet effect so all of the above. Those rims, alloys, wheels are so cool. I had a 1.9 n/a '94 Escort and it was great, I just drove it with my early bad shifting habits, and leaving it in 5th and coming to a stop would lock the shifter in place, and would require a restart to release. This occured every time I came to a stop at an exit ramp intersection, with a big semi behind me. One day while in a drivethru getting some ice cream with a buddy, the car had a violent squeaky door sound. Not aware of the danger, and the awful correlation of coolant leaking like a dog going for a walk, I dropped my buddy off and drove it home, as more angry parts chimed in, and running 2 cylinders into the driveway. $600 for two years of transportation was just fine.
Hey buddy!! 600 dollars for two years is great.. thanks for watching!
The fuel tank !!!!!!!!!!!!! WD Jack!!!! I. among others here thought it was most probably the spare wheel cage clacking about! When I'm wrong I'm wrong! Pepe live's !!!
My 2 cents on the snappy throttle, MAF sensor clean and or replace. (I own a blue 206 GTi)
Thanks Mac!
There’s no Maf sensor!
My thoughts too - remove the spare tyre and cage and see of the noise goes away,
@@simes205 Not even a 91/92 205GTi?
@@Mexxx65 nope they have a air flow meter which is basically a flap attached to a potentiometer, works entirely differently to a hot film MAF br.bosch-automotive.com/en/internet/parts/parts_and_accessories_2/motor_and_sytems/benzin/more_sensors/medidor_de_fluxo_de_ar/medidor_de_fluxo_de_ar_1.html
Nice job, love your enthusiasm for the car. Great that you solved your problem, a logical approach to issues is always the way to go.
You have cheered me up,I love a good free fix,and don’t think it’s only ‘old’ stuff that ‘breaks’ The gear selector fork snapped inside my new Husky the other day...bah !
Husquavarna? Enjoy it Joel, I used to have loads of bikes a few years back!
Number 27 aye...701...cheers
They did another special colour along with your Miami Blue painted car, it's a beautiful Green. Both colours are fantastic and will only help your car go up in value. I have seen a low mileage car sell for £18,000, but can't find the link to the story. Loving both cars you have just now 👍🏻 the Pug especially!
Yep I love the green!!
Love these cars, had 3 during the nineties, they do rattle and break but that’s half the fun! I do have a blue tooth stereo with box if your interested.....let me know. By the way, surprised the local constabulary didn’t come and visit you while you were driving round circles in empty car park with plastic gloves and earphones on....👍😂
They didn’t see me!! But it’s a private car Park so not sure they could do anything unless I was driving dangerously!
Great job Jack, thank you! Your enthusiasm is infectious. Love the car.
This for me is like real life car SOS, lovin the journey you take us on.
Glad you’re enjoying it Shakey!
I drove this for a year or 3 . Loved it a lot but sold it over for a classic Mini.. This was the best sounding car for audio i've owned till today
Mine had that intermittent start problem too. Auto electrician put a solenoid on the starter circuit to boost the power and it's been fine since. Mine also clunked on the rear beam too, but over time it reduced to only occasionally on big bumps. When I first bought the car it was clunking all the time.
I like cars without LED lights, I like basic cars like this. I want a Lada Niva
I understand the appeal, I'm not a hardcore fan of old basic cars, but i do like them better than the modern ones with electronics that will fail everywhere
Get a first generation Niva, 1977-79, the one with interior chrome trim. If you can find one. A well preserved specimen can be >£10K
Go to the Soviet bloc and you’ll be in your element. 😉
Great work Jack, looking forward to the next video they're informative and entertaining. Cheers!
Thanks Matthew! Enjoy the weekend mate!
Great looking Pug mate. Regarding the throttle response, my money is on the TPS. I know they are two different cars, but on my 84’ Alfa GTV6 i have experienced the same problem once, with a snappy on/off throttle response. It turned out after doing some work, i neglected to reconnect the TPS connector. Essentially the ECM has no way of sensing when the engine is coming of idle, this will affect many things, like acceleration enrichment etc. which would definitely make the engine respond weird to throttle inputs. If you want to test the TPS, it depends on what type your 205 uses. On my GTV6 it basically sensed only 2 positions, namely IDLE, and WOT, these types of TPS are easy to test, as they basically contain 2 open/close contactors inside. You just need to hook up a multimeter to the relevant pins at the TPS itself (with a bit of trial and error you should quickly figure out which pins relate to which position. Usually one pin for ground, and one for WOT & IDLE each) , and move the throttle off idle, and to WOT position, and look for continuity, or a lack thereof. I hope you find the problem without too much hassle, so you can spend more time enjoying Pepe.
Enjoy the GTV6! Love them!
Great videos! Look into the Alpine 149BT, it’s a top model unit and very reasonably priced. Keep up the good work, I’m reliving my 308 days through your videos.
Great to hear!! Influenzo video coming soon!!
Battery voltage will tell you whether the battery is knackered. Anything less than 12.5v after standing for a few hours and you need a new one. :) Reckon you're right on the torsion bar - nice one! Audiowise - I'd recommend a Pioneer headunit - (eg. Pioneer MVH-X580DAB) coupled with a set of Alpine components. You should be able to get a set that are factory replacement sizes (that's what I did in my mk2 Golf!) - Google "Alpine Peugeot 205 13cm 5.25". More than good enough for everyday use and means you don't have to butcher the interior.
Thank you!! Will loom at that!
I enjoy your videos, its a real world perspecitve of owning these older type cars and what you can expect.......Now I want to go out and buy a classic type daily driver so I don't rack up too many miles on the Ferrari!! I was thinking a MKIII Capri, but they aren't exactly cheap or readily available.....
Thanks Kevin!!
Nice one, well done on finding the rear suspension noise, keen eye there, look forward to seeing what other noise starts soon! :) I have a new noise on my 106 Rallye, both front and rear suspension..
Wow!! Would love a 106 rallye!!
@@Number27 Afraid they few and far between now, plus very expensive, check my RUclips channel for footage of mine round various tracks. I have had mine since 2001!
Its nice to see you and Pepe bonding , and your introduction to the quirks of Peugeot ownership. They have a tendency to throw up bizarre knocks and rattles, you did more than well to solve that problem so quickly and I'm sure they are born with a mystery oil weep so once again kudos.
The squeaks and rattles of Peugeot interiors is another story, the radio literally is your only option. In dead silence I'm still Haunted by an orchestra of creaks from Peugeots past. They never leave you 😱
But these are the things that give them a feeling of character and dare I say the illusion of life. Pepe seems like a cracking little car very lively.
With regard to the throttle response being a bit snatchy, I had that with both my later model gtis, the 1st one I just put it down to it being a Peugeot and 1 of its quirks, you get used to it and the 2nd one I had tuned at Pug Performance in Hartney Whitney which changed its performance completely and seemed to iron 1st and 2nds on/off bite, I really can't remember what was done as it was many years ago now. So good luck finding it but there definitely is a fix for that 🍻
Thanks for all the advice and good to hear you feel the same about the rattles!!
Good job. When working for a Toyota dealer in the late seventies we had a Celica Mk1 ( when did you last see one of those?) that clicked on left turns. We tried so many things before I noticed a cable tie in the trans tunnel that had not been folded fully so the end stuck out. As the car turned and the drive shaft moved, the cable tie caught on the UJ causing a clicking to be transmitted through the floor! Bonkers.
Car noises are mental!!
Deffo an Alpine. One of the CDE range. brilliant sets, great sound, easy to use and none of the disco light nonsense that so much stuff now has.
For the plastics try 303 aerospace protector.Great stuff. It's a go to , for high end detailers.Great for protecting rubber door seals as well . Loving the videos .Thank you.
Thank you for watching buddy!
I used to own a tuned Mk2 XR2 back in the 90's. You may well remember that the Mk2 XR2's had an unpainted plastic bodykit all over. I used to use WD40 to keep the 'kit' looking nice. I just used to blast the WD40 into a cloth and wipe it all over the bumpers, arches and bodykit sills. Gave it a mild glossy wet look, and made the 'kit' look darker. It was speedy to apply and looked great. With multiple applications, it looked even better with time. I'm still very much a small hot hatch fan. Currently driving the latest turbo Swift Sport. A lot of Swift Sport owners that are familiar with the Pug GTI, do liken the Swift Sport as a modern day equivalent. A Pug GTI of that vintage is obviously going to be a more raw driving experience. But the Swift Sport has a very similar ethos - lightweight and extremely chuckable. The Swift Sport is about as close as you can get to the feel of a 'back in the day' hot hatch in a modern car. The latest Sport is 975kg. Not quite as light as an old school Pug GTI. But definitely the right side of a tonne. I reckon it would be worth your while giving one a test drive - if anything - to compare it to your Pug GTI. Anyway, thanks for the video - great, and interesting content!
Wow!! That Swift is incredibly light for a modern car!!
Brilliant idea putting microphones under the car; eager to try that out myself. Thanks for the idea!!
Good luck with it fella!!
I had the petrol tank issue on mine back in the day. Had the torsion bar out and gave it a good going over. I managed to get a length of 15mm pipe lagging between the petrol tank and it worked a treat!!👍
Great video again, so pleased you found nice easy and cheap fixes! Also occurred to me external footage of Pepe doing endless loops in the car park matched to your French music would make a nice intro lol. I bet anyone who saw you must've thought you were suffering a severe case of lockdown boredom 😁😁
Yes I did worry someone from
The office there would come out and say something but they didn’t! I was going pretty slow though!
Great work as always. Hope you kept the receipt for the audio / microphone gear 😁
Not nice to encourage that sort of behaviour ... imo.
I owned this car around 12 years ago! It had an mi16 engine in at the time running on R1 super bike carbs 👍
You’re the second person who has commented it was their old car!! Interesting on the m16 engine!
Good work Jack.
That's a nice little car.
Back in '85 I had a bright white 205 Lacoste. I should have kept it, I believe it may be worth more today than I paid for it back then....
As you say, fantastic days when all those little fixes - helps you forget the other days....
Right from the get go I’m like this dude’s as crazy as I am when it comes to tracing a noise! 😀. I stuck I video up on RUclips looking for opinions on a “woo woo” noise on my old R80 air head beemer... it was the alternator!
Ha!! Hate unknown noises!!
I too had a Miami Blue GTI 1.9, regret selling it so much, brilliant car to drive and always put a smile on my face. Now looking for a left hooker as I live in the continent fingers crossed. Nice video.
Good luck getting another one, they are grata fun! Thanks for watching!
As a 205 owner, I'm going to guess before watching that's it's the rear beam rubber bushes being shot....normal issue for these things. Replace with solid mounts and that'll make it handle better and won't degrade like the older rubber stuff.
Polymer bushes? They can upset the ride..
@@newbeginnings8566 nah solid steel
Loving this series, thanks and good luck with Pepe
I would suggest taking it to an old school garage with a rolling road and having the TPS set up and the air / fuel mix adjusted. It takes an undriveable car to a pleasure to drive.
My second Peugeot GTi was a 1.9 that I kept for 12 years. It too would kangaroo at low revs, in particular, until I Super Chipped it. The garage mechanic who fitted it said it was "undriveable" after test-driving it, but my conclusion was it was much improved. I think they simply are like that and there's only so much that can be done to change it. Super Chipping does help but doesn't eliminate the amphetamine addict characteristics of what is supposed to be a super-lively car. Get used to it and enjoy it. I didn't give mine up until I could afford a Lotus Elise 111R (which I kept 10 years).
Would love an Elise.. had an Evora for a while!
I would love an Avora but am waiting now for the Model Y to arrive.
Hello. I've owned 3 of these cars, all 1.9's, although the last one I owned was back in 2004. They all idle a little rough.. If I remember correctly there is a small black rubber pipe that goes to the throttle housing (I think it connects under it). Make sure that pipe is not blocked or split. Also, take out the idle speed screw and clean it and the hole it goes into. I think you can see this small hole if you take off the rubber pipe that goes to the throttle housing from the airbox and look inside the housing. It is very close to where the butterfly closes. Once clean, refit the screw and adjust the idle speed once the engine has warmed up. This may help when you close the throttle/come off the throttle whilst driving. Also, as said by another poster, change the SAD valve as they are troublesome and maybe change the vacuum advance as these wear over time and cause a loss of power.
Forgot about cleaning the idle screw, good shout.
Great, thanks you for the excellent advice!!
Superb! I love these cars, that's a novel technique to finding problems! I reckon once you've got the niggles done that's going to be a great fun daily!
I lowered the front only by 30mm to even up with the wheel arch gap at the back. Looks loads better and handling is good.
Great stuff!!! Thanks for watching Tim!
I had a 1.4 (non GTi) with a cable actuated throttle butterfly in the inlet. The engine did the same "kangeroo" as you describe. Not sure if your throttle mechanism is the same: the cable on mine went round a quadrant piece to turn the butterfly through 90 degrees. At tickover, the cable slack was approx. 2cm, so the pedal moved a fair way before the butterfly started to move. I simply reduced the slack with the cable adjuster at the cable exit to about 8mm, and that sorted it out.
Thanks Rob.. will check that!
In regards to the starter, the infamous brown plug is a common issue for the starter solenoid not connecting properly. Normally you just rewire around the starter wire so it no longer goes through the brown multiplug.
If you want a longer lasting solution to the fading trim take a look at Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer. You may also be able to remove the lint left over on the trim from the towel with a paint prep solution, a DIY using diluted isopropyl alcohol in distilled water, or a commercially available one from Getechniq, Gyeon, CarPro, PoorBoys World, etc.
Thanks Cormac, will look into that!
For the leather, try a steam cleaner. It can help remove the "products" that have been applied over the years.
For the speakers mate you may find that normal speakers need adapter's , don't buy them! get a small piece of MDF cut some rings out to mount on to the factory placements and before you mount the speakers you choose buy a thickish sheet of wool off a roll cut pieces big enough as when you mount speakers you can push the wool in to shroud the speakers also some from of stick foam tape to make a seal round the speaker screw mount 🤣 sounds daunting but a couple of hours work it will sound amazing. I'd go with JBL speakers (my opinion) as they ain't massively expensive but on the whole they sound great 👍
For exterior plastic trim I wipe it with some ATF it works wonders ,does not last forever , but very easy to apply
It was many years ago - but if I remember rightly I took my 205Gti 1.6 to justgtis.co.uk In an hour or two they took the air flow meter apart and with very small internal adjustments brought the car back to feeling like new. I never had hot starting issues again, I never had idling issues, it gave me a more powerful freer revving car car back and was well worth the money. I'd wack a K&N induction kit in before you go. I seem to remember them operating out of a garage inside a farm and they test drive it afterwards with you in to see if they have got it right. Worth a trip because these guys know absolutely everything about your car! After that add a mild sports rear exhaust and you can't get any sweeter!
Hey thanks I definitely need to look at that!
Just remembered something else that failed on my E-reg 1.6: the heater matrix. Fairly easy to get out - remove all the plastic under the steering wheel and there was just enough room to slide it out. Unlike my current Mazda3 Sport where the instructions start with removing both front doors.
head unit. Go for a Pioneer SPH-10BT. Got one in my Alpine GTA Turbo. Holds your smartphone and plays music via it and sat nav and also blue-tooth phone etc. Cheap as chips and ive found it to be a fantastic piece of kit for the money. And its a single din.
Thanks I’ll look at that!
Nice. Pandas are impressed.Seats look good.
Love Pandas. If they’re happy with the seats then that’s a win!
ceramic coating also works wonders on faded plastics, its restores them to a darker satin finish and wont need doing again overly often
Interesting thanks 🙏!
the play on the lower gearboxmount gives the on/off throttle banging. with a stiffer variant (pu) its all alot more solid.
I said in a previous video about setting up the throttle, turn the air screw all the way in on the throttle body, it will try to die if you do it with the engine running and turn the idle screw so the car revs at 650 rpm, then rev the car three times everytime you adjust the throttle tiny screw maybe under a black plastic cap facing down, then open up the air screw large silver brass screw on the throttle. Make sure the engine is warm when you set it up, as supplementry air device on back of dizzy housing will be off (used for cold start on car) if your at it, check the rubber hose that comes from the SAD to the underneath of the throttle body, they usually deteriorate and the rubber perishes over time letting air out of the pressurised side of the throttle butterfly and usually gives the kangaroo effect you talk about, will cost you £2 in hose to have it 100 purring like a kitten, don't trouble the air flow meter there isn't anything you can do to it, there is a Allen key to adjust, but without the correct equipment it used to be a factory item to setup, there may be a tutorial somewhere online but will guarantee they either work or the don't and if its done you car will be flat as a pancake to drive. Happy tinkering
Sorry missed turn the air screw so it sits at 950 rpm
Thanks for the long post and advice!!
Did you get a chance to check the little rubber pipe under throttle body? Sorry was late when I wrote the first reply 😅
We had a 205XS (poor man's GTi 😂), bought new in 1987, and covered just short of 100k miles in it. It had the exact same throttle response you mentioned, even though it was the carburettor model..... Wish we kept it..... Thanks, Jack 👍🏻
Not the fuel injected 1.6? a carby one Armando?
@@Mexxx65 Correct - 1360cc, carb, not injection.... One of the first XS's. I think the later ones were injected.
Had many 205 gti back in the day. They were well known for kangerooing with an on/off throttle at low revs. It can be smoothed out slightly but not a lot
Damn I miss my Pug Gti now, new cars are so boring. Great video 👍👍👍👍👍🏁
Thanks Ralph!!
I had a pug 205 gti years ago . The handling was fantastic . Mine was very racey on throttle response
Another great video! Looking forward to next Ferrari update!
Full Pioneer kit with double DIN and Decent set of speakers works wonders.
Cheers!!
Use wurth trim dye for your plastics. Remove the red trims first and mask up!
Bee's Wax is amazing for the plastic Trim outside of car - lasts a couple of months (depending how many washes).
Check the continental stereos out. Look like the OE clarion unit but all modern features. Front and rear speaker sizes are the same. It's either 13cm or 15, can't remember. The TPS is dead easy to adjust, you just rotate it. Not sure it'll smooth things out though. You can adjust that, the throttle stop and the fuel/air ratio mix on the AFM all fairly easily so have a play about. I wouldn't recommend opening the AFM. You can adjust further if you do but you'll more than likely screw it. It's worth just getting a reconditioned one. Regarding the start issue, they do that. Very sensitive to voltage and the starters are a but shit. Swapping in a 206 starter is cheap, easy and fixes most issues.
Thanks for all the advice!
Hi mowat247. Any more info on the 206 starter swap please?
My GTi is forever having starting issues, often due to low voltage at the starter for some reason.
I find the best solution is to take a wire direct from the battery positive to the starter trigger (by hand) as it jolts the starter into action.
Have you ever tried the hot air gun treatment on plastic trim? Basically it brings the oils in the plastic to the surface and reverts it back to the original black. I had great success with my 996 - the full width panel beneath the front screen that covers the wiper mechanism. Brought it back to 90% good as new and a year later it hasn’t faded at all. Lots of RUclips vids on how to do it, just needs to ensure everything is very clean before you start, lots of patience and judicious use of heat until the “bloom” appears. Oh, and ffs don’t inhale the fumes!
HAve heard of this and must try thanks!
SONY MEX-N4300BT Amazingly good value. Has bluetooth and hands-free phone connectivity too.
For plastics if you use a heat gun it brings back the deep black colour a treat
if its a cable operated throttle check the throttle cable for smoothness. often the cable strands break internally and that cause snatching and on/off feeling on throttle.
Jack does some great videos on things like Porsche and Ferrari but it's humble cars like this which really pique my interest.
Pears soap cleans up leather nicely.
You should have used GTechniq C4 trim restorer for the plastics to bring them back to black
Autoglym bumper gel for the bumpers and trim. Leather - there is only one product. Gliptone leather cleaner and Gliptone leather conditioner GT22. Use microfibre cloths for both products
Alpine head units and focal speakers have given good results for me
These pugs do sufferfrom airflow meter pros I found.
I'd give the underside a good spray with ACF 50 if I were you. Get two cans.
Thanks, will do!
Looking good. I think you should try to reupholster the seats yourself. You can do it 💪
That's a cool little car. Shame we never got them here in the USA. I supposed the most similar we got would have been something like an Escort GT or Golf GTI.
Golf GTI is similar but much more solid and though great it doesn’t have the fluid quality of handling that the 205 has!
new subscriber! love your videos, keep going pleaseeee
Great! Thanks for subscribing fella!
Hi I had a friend that had a 205 1.9 GII and he had to keep switching the ignition off whilst driving it very hairy. I think he had a valve problem I think that had to go and have the head off or manifold or something along that line so long ago now I’ve forgotten a few bits sorry. I know my friend had his remapped and made it so much more DRIVETRIBE might be something you wanna try down the road when you’ve got it running better love the content on the pug and Ferrari hope some of this might help.
Stay safe 🤙🏻
I also put a more powerful fuel pressure valve on the injector rail. I'm not sure if this helped get rid of kangaroos but it improved acceleration.
