#18: Re: new 206 gti 138 owner Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 2:48 pm ---- Cheers matey will defo do that
Just been out for a little drive after fitting the new stereo and noticed the reverse light not working now I know this could be a bulb or fuse maybe or is there anything else that is more common eg reverse light switch
#19: Re: new 206 gti 138 owner Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:38 am ---- finally got chance to have a good check over the engine etc yesterday and have took the car for a bit of a drive by myself, i must say it does seem a very strong torquey engine even from very low down in the rev range it has alot of pull.
now dont worry im never going to preach that the car is a tarmac shredder as im used to 230+bhp retro turbocharged motors eg r5gtt/rs turbo etc but im genuinely quite shocked at how well the little 206 drives/holds the road and a great engine to match.
the k&n panel filter will arrive today so i shall pop that on tonight when the ball and chain gets back from work, again i know these dont add any real power but i do know they just seem to make the response that bit better and less asthmatic. The sportex oval back box should arrive tomorrow so im going to be fitting that friday whilst we are servicing the motor ready for our trip upto the lake district.
got a pic of the car down my drive yesterday

#21: Re: new 206 gti 138 owner Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Fri Sep 26, 2014 1:20 am ---- up and at em early this morning getting ready to head off up to gt motorsport to service the car, fitted the k&n weds evening cant comment on what its like as iv not drove the car since.
todays plan is as follows
new cam belt kit

new oil
new plugs
flush old coolant and renew with fresh
fit new sportex oval back box
if i get time will remove throttle bodie and give that a clean
if a mod would like to move this thread to the progress section that would be great
#22: Re: new 206 gti 138 owner Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Fri Sep 26, 2014 3:59 am ---- Progress going well come across a few things that needed doing.
Centre section of exhaust was completely shot so got a new one from ces in stoke.
Also iv fount out why the brakes have no bite probably has summat to do with both fronts being well past there best so relplacing them.
Throttle bodie was filthy and caked up so thats been cleaned and its now gleaming.
Oil and filter change is done, it seems fuel filter must be in tank so no need for that.
Euro car parts gave me the wrong drive belt so going do that next wkend along with the cam belt as we have gotta set out for the lakes just after dinner.
