Phase 1 Or Phase 2?

Recommended Posts

Guest Tidybri

I have a badly cracked dash on my 1987 d Reg 1.6 gti and want to replace it if i can.

 

My question is simple how do i know which is which and will all different phase dash's fit in any 205?

 

I notice mine is in sections and its only the glove box section i really need but i bet it will be easier getting a full dash than just this 1 piece in grey.

if youve got sliding heater controls its ph1 - rotary controls ph1.5 / 2. ph1 glovebox lids seem to be as available as hen's teeth! A full later dash can be fitted but its a lot of work as the switch wiring is all different. I put a ph2 dash in an 87 'D' plate cti 'cos I couldn't find the replacement ph1 dash parts and it was a PAIN

Oh thanks steve sounds like i have a phase 1 then!!!!

 

So your not fancying my chances of getting a replacement then? is there an easy fix for this as i just have a big gaping hole where the glove box should be and is a bit unsightly and i am no electrican or mechanic so re wiring is not really an option on my budget.

Keep scouring the local scrappies and classified ads in local papers, been 4 ph1 205s in my local scrappy in the last 6 months-all minus glovebox lids. I've had to buy complete cars in the past to get 1 or 2 small parts then break or scrap the rest! this may be 1 of those parts. Lots of luck!

It took me ages to find all of the phase 1 bits I needed, including the glove box lid, But I think its worth it in the end, lots of phase 2 cars around, and an orginal phase 1 must be worth a little more in the end.

 

By the way most of the bits came from here or e-bay.

How much do you think i might pay for the glove box and the surrounding part?
