Fitting The Cooling System /// Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI // Running Down A Dream / 5.2

In this video, I fit the radiator and slam panel to the car so that I can hopefully start her up next week with a bit of fuel.

Sorry if the music gets loud at 4:40 when I'm talking. Not sure what happened there.

[@martsec9330]

Can still hear you ok. Intersting video

[@Fatboy-ok7iw]

It's OK mate

[@germancarfan]

Sounds fine 🙂

[@rickydub6950]

All good man 😎

[@GeorgeAusters]

Let me know if you want a hand with this project mate, i'd love to work on one of these older cars!

[@rickydub6950]

Great work man, my 205 didn't come with rad pack and i didn't know about the oil cooler 😁 look forward to the next vid 👍🙂

[@tomcooper3053]

Great video, nice to see someone doing some content on the 205. This is my dream car and would love to own one. Good luck with the project 🙂👍🏽

[@StevieBzz]

Cool vid. Would you not think about cleaning the parts as you go ? Would make it more salable. Keep up the great work 💪👷👍

[@bigrob9921]

Thought you have gave it a clean before installing it back into the car..... Great series mate. Good to have you back

[@Everything_Evan]

Make sure you upgrade the mild steel coolant pipe which runs next to the pulleys with a stainless steel pipe, they always rot and fail being soo close to the wheel. I've been looking forward in this project they are my favourite cars.

[@TorqueSteer]

Thanks for the tip. I noticed that the other pipe I had was rotten. This was quite solid but I’ll get a new stainless for the 1.9.

[@paultaylor9652]

Great video Luke, but if your selling it to move on, I'd of tidied up a little just to show you'd cared about it.

[@FixedByDuncan]

If you keep taking small bites, you'll finish it in no time 👍🏻 Handy to have all those spares from the other car you can use.

[@TorqueSteer]

Yeah, I’m just taking it a week at a time and it’s been very handy having the spare parts :)

[@MrTwister86660]

Nice vid Luke. Hope your keeping well mate

[@tomrusson6126]

Really like the subtle VHS aesthetic at the start 👌🏻

[@lukerobinson7413]

Good to see you back on the cars.What kind is that ratchet?

[@YeCannyDaeThat]

where are the bleed areas?

[@berndschrikkema9019]

Thanks for the effort! Helpful

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Luke, great video,short one but shows your making progress with the car.to hear it start will be awesome.

[@Arounadabout]

Luke, are you from Liverpool ? I hear some Scouse in your voice 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@milesh405]

You need to remove those metal mounts at the bottom as that cowl's from a Non GTI model, top clips use a spring to hold the top in,

[@shaunwest3612]

Great video torque steer, great work luke, little by little mate, going to be epic 👌👍😃

[@retrooutput]

I'd go as far to say that the car was a semi-resto at some point as it's really clean and not rusty like I'd expect it to be. I'm fairly sure the 1.6 didn't have the oil cooler though chap.

[@macca4610]

It does

[@retrooutput]

@@macca4610 you sure? The 1.9 does for sure but I was fairly sure the 1.6 didn’t ?

[@macca4610]

@@retrooutput my 1.6 had one before I swapped the engine out. 1992 model

[@retrooutput]

@@macca4610 that’s really odd, I had 3 1.6 without them and 2 1.9 that did - I always thought that was the initial way to check which engine was which. I guess some must have had one for whatever reason 🤷‍♂️

[@germancarfan]

Great job, look forward to next installment

[@Fatboy-ok7iw]

Have you got a cold mate? Good video, and are you still recovering OK?

[@TorqueSteer]

Yeah haha. I’ve recovered now but it was just staring when I filmed it.

[@Fatboy-ok7iw]

@@TorqueSteer oh right 😂 my mother sends you her regards as well mate
