Hi, I need some advice on something, I brought a hub from a seller on ebay specializing in Peugeot parts as it was labled up as a gti6 one, when I took the old one off to replace the hub I had been sent has a bigger sized hole that holds the lower arm to the hub. Just wanted to know what size hole the gti6 is as I think there is 2 sizes 16mm and 18mm?? Have I been sent a td one?

16mm will be P1 and some early P2 cars, the rest were 18mm. Did you tell the seller which size you needed?

Best to measure it as there is no certain way of telling otherwise. Also be aware that the non-pas models had shorter ball joint carriers so they'll screw up the alignment.

I've been sold the non-pas ones before you see...

Similar thing just happened to me too mate, bought a wishbone...wrong size emailed the seller to suggest describing which type he is selling ( i forget to ask lol)!

Ended up going to ECP for the correct ball joint size for my hub...which was 18mm btw and i have a 98 on an 's'.

Be aware that the vast majority of people selling used vehicle parts on Ebay don't have a f*cking clue what they are selling most of the time. Yes

The thing is I won't mention any names but the seller I rather well known on here to so I was very surprised as the advert said phase1 gti6 hub which is exactly what I wanted but everybody makes mistakes.

The vast majority don't know what they're selling. Could be a genuine mistake, especially if the hubs removed from the car weren't the originals. Yes

This is true but a good seller like them should have checked this first, Advert said "Phase 1 gti6 o/s hub" and if you say all the phase 1's are 16mm i thought i had no reason to doubt the seller.

Ive just come across this as well - is there any way of telling without undoing the ball joint??

Interestingly ECP didnt mention it when I asked them but Peugeot UK did - I guess it because the ECP arms come with ball joints so its not an issue?

Ive got an R reg phase 2 GTI-6 BTW Smile

Think the best thing is to hand over the reg of the car when ordering. Unless you buy second hand then your better to check to be safe. Dunno

Sorry for late reply hainsey, i just bought the correct 18mm ball joint from ECP as the one i was sent was the wrong size and also had lots of upward/downward movement in it!

Couldn't be bothered waitin for it to be collected then delivered.

ECP were telling me it should be a 16mm hub though for my car!

You guys aren't reading whats been written are you?
The reg won't tell you, ECP certainly can't tell you - only thing that will is to measure them. And measure both sides as well - they are french cars after all.

Thats correct adam, tis what i done and the only way to be 100% sure. Peugeot could tell you what the size is meant to be but you never know if the hubs have been changed at some point.
