As above serious do the pulleys to I've got an skf belt kit from euro car on mine came with everything inc cam bungs and the belt is a gates belt which is good payed £114 all in plus an extra £15 for a contitech water pump
You should be fine to go ahead and wax it .. It shouldn't matter drastically if its not been baked as long as its had a good drying time as the wax isn't abrasive and you won't be cutting into the clear coat
P.s make you'r own k tec style one don't buy a ktec one you can make one for all of £110 there is a guide on here says my ktec style induction kit .... Do that and use the rest of the money on a service or summat
Hi mate sorta relevant but I had a piper sports cat on my mk6.5 fiesta zetec s ... Failed the mot and was a waste of £226 luckily I kno the garage and it just slid though. Therefore IMO there not worth it buy a decat and swapping over some mot time
The tensioner was slightly loose but thank god it's all okay now! Noise is still there but not as bad going to be buying a new genuine tensioner and belt :)
Just taken it to my local guy it's the aux belt tensioner as soon as he put pressure on the tensioner the noise completely went.... It's a brand new tensioner too... Thanks for all the help :)
Yeh agree ill drop it up the workshop and leave it for our mechanic to look over ... With regards to the injectors it's got a horrid idle and it hunts.. I'd say the fuel level is showing 70miles till empty and the noise is from middle mani as well so could this be an injector would it really...
From standing facing it its gotta be top when you go level with the bottom end the noise is aparent it's above, it sounds either dephasar area or inlet cam area? ..... Is it possible the bolt holding the dephasar on is loose? Can that happen? If its bottom end dead gives me an excuse to do a...
Fuel is fine oil is dead bang doesn't use a drop and power it's not lacking.... Just this noise has appeared over the last few days and got worse.... If its fucked :( balls ill have to get a new engine but in what way is it fucked? Lol the vid isn't much different to real life the noise is...
Ill try and upload a video now took it to a mates garage who said sounds like something's loose ( vibrating ) on the dephasar area could be a loose pully or similar.. Is there any on issue around this description? There is oil in it so its not that at high revs the noise isn't audible over the...
Also some one should do a stickey on what mileage common faults happen around and things like that as a buyers guide if you like eg 73k belts and dephasar...
Okay so sorry if this is all a bit ignorant but I have to ask or ill never know.
Right so firstly I serviced the 172 about 5k ago i used 5w40 valvoline ... But I've noticed all my previous Renault service and garage services have been 10w 40 now is the engine worn to 10w40 or am I fine...
Massivly depends on you'r budget. There is thousands of them out there dependant on durability to shine ratios and also ease of application personal preference.. Personally I really like the dodo juice supernatural wax as a good sine but it doesn't last more than about 3 months at best my...
Any one had any emailed confrmation and a club stand pass yet? Also is there a meet on the sat before and a convoy in?? Would be cool to arrive with the group rather than a loner...
Ring a uk exhaust specialist and arrange to have one made and shipped most uk places are £180 for just the back box it'll save wasting money and possibly ruining a decent back box.. Give prospeed a shout or longlife exhausts I'm sure they'll ship at cost
Mine work I just choose not to use them, as im
im mostly on here on my iPad it means I have to push another button wich is far too much effort and its not about the effort when it comes to the English language.
Lmao yeh when I read back on it seems pretty gay if you didn't know what I ment. Just some warped southerner wanting to shove glass cleaner up his ass lol, this good stuff though and I'd do think a lot of it. I, finding it difficult to buy vast amounts at a good price now though might be a...
Rain x foaming glass cleaner I proper bum foaming glass cleaner it gets all the marks off used loads to get that ( streak free ) effect that all these company's boast about but foaming is the only one to satisfy this :)
Ooofff I loved the hyper wash thick and clinged well I haven't used the auto finesse one yet but have heard good things about it ill be getting some when the megs runs out :) as per this I'd say try it seems to be good :)

Totally agree even tough the suspension isn't the best it has dramatically improved the cars the lanes up by our farm ( which is privet and we own before anyone comments ) I can't get 80 on the straights and stay around 50-60 in the corners where as before I'd have been in a hedge or on my roof...
Hi there guys and gals a few weeks ago I posted about an understeer prob I was having I have since solved the problem :) so to any one who has a similar issue I had the car lowered on spax springs ...
I have now altered the car to 60mm at the front and 40mm at the back using apex and some spax...
