    I am dropping her off this morning for the all important cam/timing belt change to be done by Evans Halshaw in Mansfield.

    Hi Leslie,
    that OEM audio is an elegant classic but I suppose it's hands-free safety first.

    I wonder if a Peugeot oldie like you can help me. I am a befuddled with my Peugeot 205 GL because there is no displacement (cm3) found on the registration card with production in France listed 1990 although I think actually 1989 model. I tried to identify the engine and decode the VIN. It's possibly either a TU9 (954cc) or TU3 (1360cc) but there are several versions in between! Photos attached.

    VIN plate:
    VF320AK3123772880
    1220 kg
    1920 kg
    1 750 kg
    2 680 kg.

    Engine Number: 23772880
    Next to engine number are two small riveted metal tags: One has three separate markings (Photo #6 from left):
    (1) K3A (2) PTC (3) TYPE REGL. and the other is marked: 1F SOC 673512.

    Other possible distinguishing features (assumed original):
    Weber carburettor (single) made in Italy!
    Trim GL phase 2

    Thank you very much.

    John, I am very sorry, but my model capacity knowledge is limited, although I have owned 3 x 205's

    Thanks Leslie, much appreciated you responded at all. Perhaps you could help me place my inquiry where it may get an answer since I am still unfamiliar with this forum? From my searches and comparisions, I think the "K3A" is code for a TU3 A/K (1360cc) or a TU3 TR (reduced compression ratio) but I haven't yet found a definitive reference to AK3 (only AK1 & AK2)
