AlexRS2782 136 1 Cars Posted May 25, 2016 Well, as you said, the front end pic has not disappointed. I see what you mean about the lacquer / paint fade now, and that front grill - wow - just wow. Did the original owner have another set of lamps on the front based on the weird humps in the bumper trim and marks on the lower front bumper? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugdamo 111 2 Cars Posted May 26, 2016 That's a pain with it still not priming, is it still not pulling any fuel through? If it's not iv got a primer bulb in my tool box you could borrow to set up a remote tank, I just use a fuel can and a couple of pipes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@cornwall 100 Posted May 26, 2016 Hey that sounds like a plan! I'll give that a go with my bulb first.With the fuel tank on the scuttle it should be possible to start a syphon :-) Would the return still just go to the tank? And then connect the proper fuel feed pipe when running? Would get the filter and pipe full of diesel and clamp it off ready to fit. It has fired a couple of times so can't be too much amiss. Great tip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@cornwall 100 Posted May 26, 2016 I downloaded a pdf tor the lucks pump last night, until then I didn't know about the bleed valves on the pump and was attempting to bleed with just the injector unions loosened. I take it that would maybe explain my failure to date if there's an air lock in the pump ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted May 26, 2016 You know what would finish that car off a treat? (No, not a match and gallon of petrol) A bullbar. Go on Steve, do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@cornwall 100 Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I think it needs another boot spoiler..........and get some badges made. Forget your "205 GTi 1 Fm" this is a one of a kind Peugeot 205 GRD 4 LW Edited May 26, 2016 by steve@cornwall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@cornwall 100 Posted May 28, 2016 I've had limited success! Used Damiens method of a remote tank, got a syphon going and cranked over. Nothing . Ran a live feed to the solenoid, cranked, an it cranked a LOT faster, caught and ran briefly. I switched it off in a bit of a panic because the diesel can was perched on the slam panel!!! At least I know it will run now so can allow my attention to drift to parts finding, cleaning and paintwork. More detail in my "priming a diesel" thread to follow.

steve@cornwall 100 Posted March 11, 2017 This has now been mothballed. After time, effort and an engine transplant the GTi has carried in as faithfully load lugger and canine taxi so this one is now a bit superfluous so I've tucked it away in the garage in favour of completing the cti xu10. But 1 day it will live again (despite having tin worm where the rear boot floor used to be) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
