Anyone seen this happen to cam followers before? Four of the followers on the intake side failed and left me stranded on the M1 a few weeks ago. I was planning on sorting this out and potentially building a boosted engine, but I'm unsure if this would have led to any other damage.

Brilliant build and so tidy! I'm planning on building a boosted engine for my 172 and wanted a build to follow, and I think yours is perfect! I wont need to make as much power as it'll be for road and maybe the odd track day, so I think 280 - 300hp would be more than adequate. Any advice on...

Nice black 182 with nice shiny aftermarket exhausts. Had a bit of a play on the A3 between Bordon and Portsmouth (I was in my Monoco blue 172) and then ganged up on a golf R32 lol

Just to bump this top tip! I bought a set of injectors from Trodo last year, and can confirm they're genuine oem injectors. I'll be buying another set for my 2nd 172 in the new year after it chucked up a P0204 code on my scan tool :/ Update: they're £27.66 each now but £4.90 postage so a...

Looking forward to seeing how this ends up. Looks like lots of hard work and dedication there. Well done!

Probably me. Think I'm the only Monaco blue 172 in the area

Brand New standard injectors were fitted. O2 sensors have been removed, cleaned up and replaced. All fault codes have been wiped and so far it's not throwing up any more fault codes since replacing/cleaning important parts. Idle is now near on perfect since replacing the plugs, leads and coil...

Defo not injectors! Fitted today: New injectors New spark plugs New HT leads New coil pack Cleaned the sensor attached at the top of the gearbox while I was there. Upshot is, it idles soooo much better but still huge plumes of smoke out the exhaust. No usage of oil or coolant that I can see...

I'm in Southampton btw

Ah thanks for the file! Much appreciated :smile: Tbh I'm going to do the belts myself. I've got an engine hoist, garage and most tools. I'e always done my own work if I can and had some awkward cars to own/work on in the past including a mk1 Focus RS, Renault 5 GTT and a phase 1 Impreza....all...

I've not yet ordered any o2 sensors....I may see if it's possible to clean them up first. All the bits shoukd be here by Tuesday (ish) so I'll be busy changing bits out next week. Hopefully that little lot should solve a few issues. The input is much appreciated :)

Thanks for all the replies chaps. I've now got a coil pack, injectors and plugs on order! Are the fuel pressure regulators reliable? Just the cam/dephaser to organise now :/

Hi all, my first post as I've been unable to find anything here which answers the problems I'm having. I've acquired an '03 172 that is in need of a little bit of love but has generally been running ok until yesterday. The engine management light has been flashing on and off for a week but is...
