Hey guys,
I am thinking about taking the plunge and purchasing a 205 gti. I was just wondering if there are any particular things I should be looking out for and if you could recommend a good mechanic that knows about pugs from this era. I am based in Central Auckland.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can recommend Greg Kent Automotive. He is at 80 Diana Drive, Glenfield. 8)
Welcome to the forum mate.
Don't be afraid to check out a 405 Mi16 or BX 16v either ;)
or a 309 mi16?
Yeah, I just recently got my first pug, 406 STS. Happy as a pig in shit! 8)

Hey guys
Thanks for the welcome so far. There is a red 205 gti I am looking at on trademe at the moment. Seems to have done fairly low k's but will need a new gearbox. Do any of you know anything about the car I am referring to?
Also how much would I be looking at for a new 'box?
Thanks again
Is it this one? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=308109931 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=308109931)
If so, it has been listed on FF site by member "emkaybb".

hello . can i ask what is wrong with the gearbox ? does it not drive or is it crunching though gears
Yes it is that car. I cannot access the buy/sell part of the site yet.
It is more the clutch is slipping at high revs. Anyone with any info on the car?
Thanks
