Semi-C Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Howdy'all, I am in talks with myself regarding the purchase of this Azure beaut :-http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271535724849?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648#ht_271wt_1348 Now then, * What could possibly be the cause* of this 205's temperature trouble?Vendor fears head gasket..optimistic passer by said thermostat...Are there 205 specific explanations for the overheating? and furthermore, would a Peugin (Peugeot Virgin) be able to rectify it's ills? I have nay experience of these vehicles at all, in fact, I don't know anyone who has... (bit of Mark & Lard for you there)I intend to steal a viewing of aforementioned 205 tonight, would be happiest armed with a little info, or a lot, about it's viability. Thanks awfully to any and all who can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket88 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 get it sniff tested, that's usually fairly conclusive one way or another.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_the_cat Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Quick test: pop the expansion bottle cap off 30 seconds to a minute after a cold start. If there's a hiss, you have HG (or worse) issues. If not then you're likely OK. There should be no pressure build up until the engine gets warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 It could have an intact heidgasket, but a shagged radiator thus it gets warm onb longer journeys. ed5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket88 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I'd go with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If you believe in fate, then the number plate is telling you to do it. If they're the same as the TDs then remove the expansion cap and keep a sharp eye on the water when the car is getting hotter. Tiny little bubbles are usually an early sign of HGF.

Semi-C Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Alas, twas not to be for the 205 & me.The emulsion of repulsion was the catalyst to flee. It had a lot of promise though, which damn near turned my head;Almost rot free, 4 good tyres & (fank fook) it wasn't Red. It's bargain basement price tag, front leccy windows too.I'm still amazed I left it there..what is a dork to do? Thanks for all the advice chaps, forgive the slow reply,Phone signal's shit within my house & my neighbours have locked wi-fi. mat_the_cat, Bobthebeard and Dave_Q 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan84 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 If the neighbours locked their wi-fi, that un-neighbourly gesture should be repaid with 4 flat tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
