i never saw a 309 with a system that works !! :mdr3: You can have a look at my 309 at the meeting. There it works perfectly ::d . But I had to repair it because I would otherwise not get a street legal by TÜV inspector (vehicle testing every 2 years for road safety in Germany). Now I use it every m...

Hello, hmm, the dashboard must be removed - this is not so good. I have made this last May because my original dashboard was cracked in several places on the top (the sun was to blame :erk:). It was not difficult but it is not a nice work and I think the "new old" dashboard will not be lucky if I re...

Hello, it is possible to retrofit an air conditioner in a Peugeot 309 with the TU-engine? My car is only used from spring to autumn and so it is sometimes not really enjoyable inside when the sun is burning. So I mostly use my Mercedes with A/C at hot days and let the 309 at home. This is the only t...

O.K., I just thought that maybe the speedometer drive on the gearbox is different because it is a different speedometer type and so it shows more than the original Jaeger (and the tires of 309 with Veglia are bigger, 14" for example). But the shift points (km / h) are also consistent with the Jaeger.

For the manuals gearboxes: the TU have MA gearboxes That means my 75hp TU has a MA gearbox? Every type of engine have is own gear ratio. If I understan right, the 1.1 TU has other gear ratio as the 1.4 TU, it is "shorter"? Sorry I can explane a lot of things about manual gearboxes but not in englis...

Hello, does anybody know what gear boxes where used in the Peugeot 309? Are they all the same, for example the 60 hp TU the same one like the 75 hp TU or the 75 hp TU the same like the 1.6 or 1.8 XU? Is there an overview of the engine speeds (rpm) in relation to speed (km/h)? For example, my Graffic...

Also, I wish you all a Happy New Year! And always lots of fun with the 309, accident-free driving and that the rust has no chance !

XTSI a écrit :Try to read out loud, Dutch is not so different from German.

Right! Something I could actually understand, but not everything.

I didn´t understand very much ... my Dutch is not the best...

I wanted to have one, but when I tried to order they were already sold out... No 1:18 GTI for my collection...
But it looks great your model!

Observe, Thomas

There is someone in Germany who sells Simca and Talbot parts. His name is Jürgen and he's a real fanatic of these cars. It seems he's a bit like your uncle. I know him. He´s a great parts-dealer, I have bought many parts from him. I like the Mk 1, too. But there are not many on the road today :pleu...

Hello, in my region (Stuttgart) you can see no 309´s. Some time I think that my one is the only one here now. The last one I saw in spring, I think. But it was in bad condition. In my home-region (East Germany, Saxony), where I lived until to 2003 are more 309´s on the road. There you can see some c...

Hello Matthias,

I send you a PN. I´m very interested in an 1:18 model of the 309, too.

Greez Thomas

I must say it again - very great car! Could you make a picture of one of the front lights? Are they in one part? For what is this stick on the left side? Hope I can see your GTI live next year!

Hello, I have the 1361 ccm TU3M engine with 75 hp. The regular temperature when the engine is warm is between 85 and 90°C. At 90°C the fan begins to run and gets off at ~85°C. This is normal. At 110°C the STOP-light comes. Then it is too much, but to 90°C all is good. My engine is warm very quickly,...
