New To The Tu24

[Guest tim12]

Hi,

 

Having previously owned a 1.3 106rallye with the injected TU2 J2/Z, and now buying a 205rallye with the TU24 I just wondered what are the main things I may have to look out for on the TU24 engine that may prove promlematic. I am expecting obviously to have to maybe fettle with the carbs. I have heard that there is a thick carb-manifold gasket that can be hard to get hold of if it perishes.

 

Being in the UK, are there any parts for the engine that maybe hard to get hold of if they break? eg Valve gear..

 

I intend to keep the engine as standard as possible.

 

Thanks alot for any info,

 

Tim

You can get most OE parts from pug. Although recently they are starting to be unavailable. They share lots of parts with other TU's too. (suspension is all 205 gti 1.6) But you need to do your homework since most suppliers haven't heard of the rallye or get it confused with the Uk rallye.

 

The Rubbers can perish. But they normally look worse then they are functioning. I am using custom aluminium ones

 

Post us some pictures of your rallye ..Be nice to see

driveshafts......dont break them and check the gaitors often for splits. you cant get hold of them very easily what with the outer being a gti and inner a MA box fit.

Great, thanks. Yes I imagine places confuse with the Uk one... Ill try & get some pics when I recieve it.

 

P.S. is the cambelt and oil filter the same as the 1.1? First things to do I think...

 

Any other service items that are not obvious please let me know,

 

Regards,

The filter is the same and I am pretty sure the cambelt is the same... 104 dents. Good idea to change the tensioner at the same time
