I noticed the other day a nasty noise from the engine, when you come off the throttle, and when revving the engine in neutral, or in gear when stationary. No warning lights on the dash and the engine pulls as normal. The car/ engine is on 157k.
Idle sounds normal too.
When given some revs :(...
Thanks for your reply mate, that would make sense. I can't ever remember changing the precat lambda, and I've owned the car for nearly 13 years and done around 112k in my ownership.
As above. Had the Clio 172 on Surrey Rolling road, a few weeks ago. Charlie stopped after two runs saying it was running very lean! Shame as it made good power.
The 172 has a ITG Maxogen and PMS race exhaust system fitted, and is running a RS tuner 98 ron map. I have just had a new coilpack...
Hi rrtam.
The PMS system with no centre silencer/cat is fine on the road, and when crusing on the motorway it's not a lot different from my old Ktec stealth with a centre silencer! I have driven to the 'ring and back with it fitted and it was fine.
..However when it gets above 5k it gets loud...
Update:
My old snow foam lance died, so I bought a new one and some other bits and pieces from Clean your car.

Saturday just gone I went to CS Surrey Rolling road day. The car now on 156k made 175.2bhp and 157lbft so pretty pleased with that. What I am not...
