Hey mate, yeah....checked it last night and it was tighter than the tightest thing I can think of. Brand new too. :( Cockwash

Aye, gave this a go Will but to be fair, not since th ePFlex went on. Might go out and give it a hauling now and test it tomorrow Cheers Jj

So yeah, Powerflex'ed the dogbone the other night and while i noted the car buzzes like a dildo now, the knock under bongo hard acceleration or axle tramp is still there... I have replaced the gearbox upper about a month ago too so was hoping the noise would have gone. Tell me ill not have...

Can anyone recommend a product or technique for cleaning the alloy 2.0 16v bullets? I have tried tar removal products, polish and even clay but they are still marked? Cheers Jj

Saw you! ;) Jj

Had a quick gander at daves dogbone guide and i followed that to the T (very useful post btw dave) I replaced my upper gb mount a short while ago with one from ECP as well Jj

Hmmm, Ill have to check how its fitted then......Im almost 100% positive its right......i had a look at a few who did theirs on here before. J

Aye, well mines remapped a I don't notice anything at idle... Just when I really rag it

Cheers lads..... Puts my mind at ease a bit

That's good dude, cheers for letting me know.... The gear change is totally superb now but I couldn't live with the buzz Thanks Andy

Okey dokey.....piece if piss to fit But by gum, really tramped it tonight and the car buzzed like a tin can. Does this definitely go with time?

Cheers Pink......its not something broken so im not fussin J

If you ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY have to stick with your car, you could always get NO2..........but, you really should let your insurance know and as soon as you say the word "Nitrous" to them, they will s**t. A 1.2 is NEVER going to stir the soul, even with 100 odd hp of Nitrous up its arse. I...

also, any downsides to disconnecting the cannister? what does it do exactly?

Hmm......i have this too and i was thinking the akternator but if the carbon cannister can indeed make this noise then its a possibility........right area Jj

Henk on here might take alook, you could post a link to this thread in the Fastchip section..... There are many many smart people on here who look at these cars daily, Fred, Sideways Danny etc to name a couple....Not all of them get on through the day though so alas, you will probably have to...

Oh you can indeed mate, but i am being hoest when i say that mine was the same......it had no effect on driving though. Have the usual plugs, coil, leads etc been checked? j

Oh, will thats a different thing altogether..... You dont have an RSTuner or anything to diagnose it? Jj

Dont know about the 197 but my ph2 172 does (well did before the remap) it too and i just put it down to a lumpy idle.......it doesnt manifest itself in driving at all.....i assume yours is the same? It idles quite low for such a lumpy high powered engine and the RSTuner map bumps this to 1000...

Anyone?......I am going to use a hammer soon.....

Is the boost coming in very late or is it just me being used to a 320D BMW? Jj

Okey dokey, So I bought a lummy low mileage gearbox for a standby. I stripped it down because it had been sitting outside a good while and could see that it had a good bit of oil/water Mayo inside. Glad I did cos it was rammed with the crap, was very happy to see the superb condition...

So what is the difference then, software? exhaustery? manifoldization? (yes, i made these up)

RESULT! well done Jj

110 for new rear discs with bearings and abs rings in them with pads.....probable a cheaper and easier job to replace the lot tbh Jj

Maybe he means the "dephaser"....... Which is indeed a leak potential...... Its one of the cam wheels, the one that alters the timing and its full 'o' oil Jj

Just to be clear, they all seem to be horrifically lumpy at idle. Really lunpy, almost like they are missing. I recently remapped mine with RSTuner and with a raised idle, it is so much smoother. Jj

Cheers Dean J

Anyone know what this is ? M4, M6 etc? Thanks Jj

Its a wee "doo-dah" you plug into your car and your laptop that when used with the RSTuner software available from fastchip.nl, allows you to remap your car for a ludicrously reasonable price www.fastchip.nl I just did mine today If you dont do it, you are DAFT imo. Jj
