I used to have spotlights on my GTi 1.9 until the car’s power and my driving skill reached the unfortunate conclusion that they were incompatible. A visit through a hedge and the consequential nose dive into a field resulted in a damaged car; the spotlights smashed beyond repair…

I guess some old cars just like to make us humans angry, my Golf II really likes to annoy me, a few days ago my Ignition coil decided to not work anymore, so the engine ran like a bucket full of srews, before that my rear drum brake bearings got destroyed, before that the cooler was broken and it was leaking coolant like crazy and before that i had to replace my head gasket...lots and lots of stuff to do...but at some point it will run again perfectly and be as reliable as everyone tells you, the most important thing is to nut quit i guess, which can be really hard if everything starts to break down around you but still. Im really impressed by all the love and work you put into your cute and wonderful little 205, and im confident that it will a perfect car pretty soon! I wish you all the best!

You’re really not selling me on the idea of French cars! But you have convinced me to put spotlights on my new daily driver.

I doubt I have a prime example of a 205, else they would‘ve sold considerably less. With all my built up frustration that poor engine hopefully has some revs left to give. 🥲😁 Long live the spotlights!

My ZX shakes and rattles whenever I accelerate, the more weight is in the car, the worse. Myself too, I think it's the drive shaft inner joint, as it does not click or bang when I turn, so it's not the outside, aaaand as I already changed motor mounts. Note: it gets a lot worse after you take it to a racetrack 😅

Its quite normal that the 205 heater matrix fails. Or at least the o-rings of it 😄.

I took the thing apart yesterday and the matrix itself had well and truly failed. The O-rings, even though square and rock hard, were still sealing fine... 😗

@@OnlyARoadtripAway Interesting. I have a 205 Gentry with all the bells and whistles. Just no air con. A friend of mine had a 205 diesel from Spain with air con which he did not need any more. I bought it just to get my hands on the air con 😁. Hopefully it won’t be too much of a hassle to switch the hvac box under the dash. I will make sure at least the O rings are replaced if the heater matrix passes the test!

The vibration is maybe coming from the driveshaft. Maybe it's the inner joint. When these are dying they can give the same symptoms. Good luck wrenching again!

Heater core in 205 as far as i know has no valve, there is constant flow of coolant through core no matter what
@OnlyARoadtripAway Жыл бұрын
Yeah I learned that during the drive to the shop. Full cold seemed to limit the air passing by the leak though, which helped. Currently the heater is just bypassed until I can get around fitting a new core and fuel gauge. And the driveshafts... 😅
