1988 Peugeot 205 GTI review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front anti roll bars, head gasket, exhaust manifold.
General comments?
Watch out for the front anti roll bars, this is a common prob on GTi's, also the valve stem guides fail on higher mileage cars. If you're losing oil, check your dizzy oil seal before you presume it's the head, also the dizzy rotor arm wears out causing oil to escape into the cap, the engine itself is very reliable if looked after.
If you want the ultimate conversion take your car down to Viper in Southampton, I got mine converted to unleaded and also had a race head put on.
Goes like stink now!
