205 leaking water

Discussion in 'Peugeot 205' started by André Legerman, Jun 2, 2004.

  1. Anybody out there who can help me on this problem?
    I have a 1986 P 205. The car is used once a week only. After a rainy day I
    find water on the bottom of the car behind the left front seat and on the
    floor of the luggage compartment. I did the leak test spraying the doors and
    the windows with a water hose, but there is no water leaking in. Are there
    any hidden holes where water may drop in? Please help!

    Hi,
    and
    Common fault, usually caused by rear worn light clusters' seal. Replace seal
    or use some sealing dough. My brother has fixed his '91 DTurbo that way.

    Light cluster seal? Really? Mad, I'd never have considered that. Mine turned
    out to be seal on the rear wiper jet, same on my mates GTi.

    Hi,
    turned
    Perhaps this isn't the right term. Indeed, that black seal between light
    plastic cover & bodykit, not kidding !
    This has been discussed many times here, now proven (to myself) with the
    example of my brother's DTurbo.
    Wow, this one is a bit vicious :)

    Glad it worked out good in the end - nothing worse than a leaky car!

    Perhaps this isn't the right term. Indeed, that black seal between light
    Theres a seal between the back bit of the cluster and the actual metal
    work - no doubt it could leak in there. Wasnt my first thought though, thats
    all i was thinking.
