172 Cup - runs very well. Cambelt done under 2 years ago so not due.
Idle becomes lumpy maybe a minute after cold start.
I know they are fairly lumpy but what diagnostic procedure should I follow rather than firing a parts cannon at it? 😁 Its no biggie as it drives superb but wouldnt mind...
They are great but I prefer my M5 as a suoer saloon platform. Bs7 was pretty expensive to repair but as long as you fine one where the usual common faults have been rectified…unlike mine! I ended up in a mk4 R32 after it as I missed a hot hatch!
Had since my original 172 in 2009 I’ve had the following:
Honda Civic Type R FN2
VW Golf R32 (two MK5 and one MK4)
Audi RS4 (B7)
Audi RS3
Merc C63
BMW M5 F10 (for sale!)
Range Rover Sport
Porsche 944
MK1 Golf GTI cabriolet (still got it)
205 GTI (still got it)
And I can honestly say the 172...

Hi mate just saw this! I traded it in about 2010/11 for a civic type r (crap by comparison) by memory. Aside from a rumbly wheel bearing it was was absolutely mint at the time! Pity it was in a poor state when you got it!
Still going now eh? I might debate buying it back depending on the...

Just wondering if anyone on here now owns by old car - she was a 2002 black 172 with 182 wheels. Reg was RY02 VVX. Traded it in January for a '07 Civic Type R to a garage in Tredegar then I think they passed it to a garage in Blackwood.

No affiliation, I part ex'd my 172 for a Civic Type R and I spotted it was sold on to another garage and they now have my old 172 up for sale...
Would be a decent buy for someone if it...
Hi guys
Not sure if I'm imagining it but recently I thought that my engine might be sounding a little odd.
I fancy there's a whooshy/whiny type noise....kinda hard to describe as it's neither a whoosh or a whine but somewhere between the two! It's the higher pitched noise in the vid.
