I won't be striping the engine down unless I get bored over the holidays hopefully gettin a engine this weekend and in the car asap

Am goin to take it down to them as soon as I get it sorted must have had something to do with it as the only engine trouble I've had was not starting (dirty crankshaft sensor) it pulled very strong and well the whole time I've had it Neva really used a great lot of oil (always within spec) and...

That's what I was thinking but I made that mistake when the engine went in my old Astra striped the car but wish I never now I loved that car. I do like my clio but now it needs a engine gearbox ave got a freshly rebuilt gearbox ready to go in and a full respray but the money I've spent on it...

Well after cleaning various sensors etch. Pulled off the inlet off and found oil/water residue and also found bits of metal what looks to be parts of a valve :( now I need to decide its it's worth changing the engine or buying a new car

I was thinking that aswell but not 100% am trying to get someone with a diagnostics machine to check it over for electrical faults

I think they were ngk platinum plugs and there just black leads cant remember the name

The battery went flat on the tow home this morning with me needing the lights etc on i just gave it a full service last week aswell all new plugs leads etc

So the map sensor being dirty would stop it from starting/ running am waiting on another mate coming to try and jump start the car hopefully it will work

Feels like it got better throttle response that could just be me thinking that tho had it over 4k when I was on the a1 coming home. It's not a rs tuner map

I've just had my car fitted with pops and bangs remap but it's not popping or banging would this have anything to do with me still havin a centre silencer ? It's a ph2 172 with decat and miltek frm decat back

A will just live without it I guess havnt really got the time to travel to get a remap with working 70+hrs a week

I've got a miltek cat back system on my 172 with a decat sounds great but I quite like it when they pop on overrun any ideas how I could get it to pop without the remap a don't want it to pop that much just every now and then

Hi there just woundering if anybody knows how to wire in a air/fuel ratio gauge into a ph2 172 ? Just need to know what signal wires are what at the lamba sensors one of my sparky friends if going to fit it for me but he's not sure about the signal wires
