Introductions / 205 starting issue
Last post by Ted - September 16, 2021, 07:26:47 PM
Hi Folks, From new I have a 205 1.9 1987 in mint condition with 64,000 mls on the clock. Recently i needed a warrant but when starting it, it instantly flooded. Removing the plugs the gaps were bridged with liquid fuel. All plugs do spark. Siphoned about 5 ml fuel from a cylinder. Is this a sticking cold start injector? Also noticed that the airflow sensor is not receiving 9v but is under 3 V. Perhaps the problem is in the ECU? Has anyone any suggestions please.

Been a while (8 years!) since I've been on here. Had to sell me GTI back then. Have now purchased a 1.9 CTI so am looking forward to it's arrival from Christchurch in the next few weeks if Auckland drops down levels. Got a couple of other toys too.

He used to do a lot of our PSA stuff when I was working in Chch. Hopefully he still has some good suppliers!

The Poseidon Blue one off TradeMe? It's sold now I believe. To you?

I've got a couple of them, including another Poseidon Blue one and a racecar. And several parts cars.

They're generally pretty reliable cars, with the only expensive things to really worry about being oil leaks from the head gasket, and occasional gearbox synchro issues. And maybe rear trailing arm bearings, which can be a pain.

Aside from usual maintenance items on a 25yo car, there are other little things that crop up. But nothing to really worry about (assuming it's not spent time in the UK and has no rust).
