Mine did this for a while. Then the crankshaft pulley fell in half !

I rang about a late scenic last year which admittedly looked cheap but stated no mileage. I rang the dealer to have a chat. When i enquired about the car he unleashed a string of obscenities at me. I was quite shocked. Told him to sort out his advertising !!!

Stand out the front of the dealership and talk to everyone who goes into the place. Explain what he has done to you. Worked for me at Comet !

Mine sounds like that first thing in the current low temperatures..

the bottom idler on the aux belt can sound like this. it is very exposed and gets hit by all the crud from off the road. they can whine like crazy...

i do laugh when i see the front braces fitted with self tapping screws and the rubber mounted rear braces only good for hanging shopping on !

Unless its welded to the chassis struts. Only use is to hang your shopping on ...

Warning light has sorted itself out. No longer a problem.

do the clutch at the same time as changing the engine...

Having just fitted a new engine to the phase 1 it started first time with no engine warnings. After a few test starts i found it wouldnt idle below 3000rpm and the engine warning light came on. On closer inspection i found what i believe to be the hose to the braking system had popped off the...

Phase 1 are notorious for the throttle body sticking.

I have a phase 1 box which i believe will fit a cup.

The Sunflower lives again !!!!! Ripped out the old motor which turns out the crank pulley failed and decided to jam itself into the cambelt. Dont know the final result of this but serious lack of compression. I got hold of a 85k phase 1 engine which i had belted and at the same time fitted the...

i have just put a new engine in my 172 and it has a regulator on the fuel rail. i think the overflow connects to the inlet. the engine i removed had no regulator an no return. sounds like yours.

True. However i think the pulley twisted and snagged the cam belt. i guess it caused it to jump or something. i have already fitted a new motor just waiting to get it fired up.

did i get away with it then Danny. New cambelt and jobs a good one ?????

The offending crankshaft pulley minus its centre. Noticed that it was skewed when i pull out the engine. Cut off the aux belt and the pulley fell on the garage floor ! Only pressure from the belt holding it in place.

They quoted me £200 to replace the clutch. Later i found out they actually fit recon clutches !!! Sorry but my gearbox wont fit your car.

This is with cyl 1 at TDC. doesnt look right to me !

Do not go anywhere near Mr Clutch !!!!!!! What year is you clio ? I have a box for a 172 but its a phase 1.

i have 2 connectors that look exactly the same to me. one is speed sensor on gearbox( phase 1 172 ) and the other is temp sender. which is which on loom ?

some years ago i had an old corsa. it never locked so i left nothing in it. one morning the glove box was open but it was empty so nothing gone. 3 days later went to take my son to school and realised they had nicked his car seat !!!!! how desperate can you be...

saw a tv program on scrapping cars and they had a hydaulic ram with a brass point to punture the fuel tank. the fuel ran down the centre of the point into a collecting tank.

i set number one cylinder at the middle of tdc and removed the cam end plugs. as an estimate i would say that the cam ends that should be at 3 oclock are between 1 and 2 oclock. so im pretty sure the timing has slipped due to the bottom crank pulley separating at the damper.....

yep have the earth on and the lambda. need to have a nose around

having dropped the new motor in and clamped it all up i then find the heat shield sitting on the driveway ! how necessary is it ?

Found out what this was last week...... When the crank pulley decided to separate !!!!! Check your crank pulley.......

Phase 1 172. Have some electrical connectors running down the back of the gearbox just behind the mounted ECU. What are they can somebody tell me ? Lambda ?

i will get some. left it at work. using it as a paper weight !
