Hi

I've had my 1994 Peugeot 205 1.8 Inca Diesel since August and it has
been a good little runner. But lately a few problems have cropped upa
nd i'm hoping that some of you out there could help me out with a few
questions.

1. Every now and then a light will come on the go off on the
dashboard. It's situated inbetween the indicator light and the coil
light. It's amber and looks like a capsule with half filled with water
and has one pipe coming in and one going out. Seeing as i didn't get a
manual with the car this is the only thing i can't work out on the
dash.

2. I know it's a known problem but what is the best way to repair a
leaky sunroof. It isn't a big leak but it's quite annoying when i can
see it dripping out of the corner of my eye.

3. Finally some little f*$&%r has snapped off my windscreen wiper arm
and i was wondering where is the best place to get a new one from.
Will Peugeot dealers have any or will i have to ring round all the
brakers yards?

As you can probably tell i'm not very technically minded and i'm a new
driver as well so some of these questions might be a bit daft :)

Thanks in advance

Dont recognise that at all.  Possibly water in the fuel tank warning light,
but i never knew 205s had that (my 1991 TD doesnt).

I've heard you can get stuff that replenishes rubber seals.  Been meaning to
try and get some for my cars.  That might be worth a try.  Maybe look in
Halfords

Definately go to a scrap yard.  All you have to do is take one nut off, and
will probably only cost a fiver!

Not at all :)

It is. I have the same in my Junior D '93. Can't figure out if there should
be one on a DTurbo (I should ask my brother).
Well, should I repeat what I previously wrote about the water in fuel
sensor's reliability ?

HTH,
