Express Fit Peugeot in Shrewsbury

no - power feels unchanged....it was an Arvin one which is OE anyhow..

I will give it a good drive tonight and feel if it has lost any power.....as long as economy is not effected I am not too bothered as I may sell it soon...and a new back box is always a good selling point..

reduced back pressure in exhaust (hole) may be is reducing power... But this would be consistent power loss, but reduced then picks up again...maybe lamda sensor also?

Hi I guess the clio 172 back box must have fallen in prices....just had a standard (albeit non-OE) one fitted for £47 + vat......the only difference is that it is a little more boomy at idle but under throttle sounds fine.... I'am I right in thinking Renault wanted £570? Its a bit smaller...

Hi I am trying to workout why some other car owners (esp the 106GTI for some reason!) compares themselves to the mighty Clio 172.... I love Peugeot GTIs and have a 205 I race. However, without being too technical, how can people say for example a 106GTI is "as quick" as a Clio The 106GTI...

Yeah I know I doubt I will see 172bhp as standard, let alone 184 (same goes for every production car!)...I am sort of back tracking, but I dont generally chase figures...on my 205GTI hillclimb car it has an Mi16 engine (160bhp) running carbs - which only made 7 extra BHP!!! not great, but like...

Hi How long should the engine from the Clio 172 generally last, with oil changes done on time...? Mine has done 74,000 and runs well, albeit use oil @ 1ltr per 1,000 miles. I guess 150,000 is possible? I am thinking of chipping it (172 to 184 for £250 sounds ok) Are these engines know to...

cant see any leaks anywhere.....but will look closer..

Hi I have noticed my Clio 172 (52 plate) has used just under 1ltr of oil over 1,000 miles. I dont drive it hard (occasional blast)... It runs well, and I get 33mpg. Does this engine use much oil, or is this excessive, and what could it be if it was a prob...? Thanks Rob

tell her to see the bigger picture...you will get that £100 next year, and the year after and the year after if you go alone and start getting NCB... Arn't mums great LOL!!

Hi Rather an urgent one as my car is in the garage and I need to know where would the alarm ecu or box be located in my clio 172 ph2...? It looks like a Renault one, but one fitted aftermarket and not a factory fit (naff looking ultrasonics gives it away) Did the clio 172 have an alarm as...

Hi How long should a Clio 172 clutch last? Mine has done 73,000 and as far as I know it is the original one... Thanks Rob

Hi What are my options for sorting a crap steering wheel where the rubber palm grips are torn on my 172..? Thanks Rob

how do I do that - where for sale???
