The Usual Knocks And Bangs

Recommended Posts

Rallyvan

Iv got all the knocks and bangs of a 20 year old 205 (the shell is a 1.8 flat diesel) and i'm sick of it sounding asthough it could fall apart at any given moment, the question I have is what do I need to replace and roughly what will the costs be?

Here's a rough list I have below, if anyone knows the price of these or could add to it I would be greatfull.

1.Subframe mounting

2.Suspension Top mounts

3.Bottom arms (done recently)

4.Rear beam mounts

5.Rear bump stops

Any others?

if i were going that far i'de also renew the 20yr old engine mounts and gear linkages,

As said it's a diesel so therefore doesn't have drop links. Yep engine mounts are on order, think the dampers could be as old as the car.

appologies, i always thought the diesels had gti subframe and suspension. maybe just the td's then?

 

4 dampers sound like a worthy install
