Reason i took off my decat was because at 6am letting my car warm up for 10 minutes wasnt liked by neighbors due to how loud the thing was with decat lol. I want a jms or a ph1 air box but do they make much more if any noise at tickover and when driving? I had a knn 57i on my old 1.2 and you...

Can somebody enlighten me on how you work these or do they just squirt when you squirt the windscreen? Mine dont seem to do anything, tried with lights on and off as i thort there might be a switch or something? When i removed my front bumber i disconected the pipes and water all leaked out...

Well its here, and my 6 old battery is not liking this cold weather one bit. Ive seen a bosch silver top in halfords for 80 quid and i know they are very good batteries as i used to use 2 massive ones in my old car from my streetbass days. However vat is going up and im scint ha so 80 is a...

Got quite a few scratches on my drivers side from careless people. Tried all sorts of polish and waxes but they are just too deep. Will it look a complete **** up if I masked it up and gave a very light spray of black gold rattle can over it and then polish it to try and blend it?

Just did a quick vid as i never realised how loud it was outside the car haha. No center section with decat. IM putting my cat back on as soon as somebody buys the decat pipe and may get a ph1 box to get a bit of induction sound going on. Anybody got any vids of their ktec with a cat...

Just noticed that when I shift into 3rd when above about 6k I get a slight crunch at the gear stick, almost as if the clutch isn't down enough but it is. Oil recently changed

previous owner had said he had a new cat on the car but there wasnt any reciepts or anything. im thinking of putting my cat back on as the decat is getting a bit annoying and my neighbors wont like it at 6am lol. however i wont put it back on if it looks like a kwikfit cat as the official...

With krt stickers all over it, you know who u are lol

Hi there, as you may have seen im selling my factory hu and disc changer. I would like to sell it as a whole with the cable to connect the changer to the deck but have no idea where the cable runs. Anybody got any ideas?

Really want to take my renaultsport badges off as it really annoys me when i see little chavs in there 1.2's with a halfords sport badge which looks nearly identical to the renault one. However im not sure im going to like the look of it. Seen it on a few blue ones and it looks good, but...

Are there cheap cats nocking about that will fit a 182? Reason I ask is I was thinking of putting my cat back on as I leave for work at 6am and I don't think the neighbours will like it too much lol. Previous owner told me he'd had a new cat fitted to it last year, but I can't see him...

Just made a video as this noise is really starting to do my head in now and i cant find the problem. Ive checked all obvious thing, fuel rail guard is tight, all exhaust hangers are in tact, decat springs are all on ok. Any ideas? It only does it bang on 3000 revs, as you see in the video...

Just bought a new kit from nwperformance as id lost a bolt holding the decat onto the manifold but when i was fitting it if i do the springs up too tight then theres no flex between the decat and manifold meaning alot of strain i would think. but i dont want to do them too loose as thats how...

All my mates decided to follow me in the hot hatch route so we decided to go back to our teens and meet in morissons carpark hahha. The golf is an r32, cooper s, and a ctr.

Well after reading many posts about it I went to europarts and got one. Gear changes seem a little more precise. Haven't noticed any extra vibrations what so ever so some people must be doing something wrong. It was fun blowtorching and hammering the old bushes out. 9 hits for the big one...

Just did a quick 10 mile cruise down m1 and reset the trip pc and it only read 37mpg, the exact same trip a couple of month ago would read 50mpg and settle down at about 45. This is at 65mph. Can seems to be running fine and no power loss so didn't think it'd be a lambda fault, but I...

Right guys ive got a cup packed 182 and was going to lower it but then relaised i wont be able to get down my drive as its steep and 1.5 cm lower and itl scrap on the bottom of the car going over. so basically the sportline springs are out the window. I see the proline springs say they...

Ever since my decat I get a wierd rattle at 3k, can hear it inside the car especially as I'm revving through 3k and it totally ruins the sound of the exhaust. But then as I pass 3k it goes and sounds nice again. All the bolts on the exhaust and decat are nice and tight. Any1 else had it?

Well splashed the cash yesterday and bought of the above as i hear good reviews on it. I usually wash my car with turtle wax car shampoo and wasnt happy with the results. Washed with the autoglym and didnt even leather after i rinsed it down, it dried with barely and streaks at all, the...

Going to get a new coil pack to see if this cures my missfire. Are 182's as picky with coil packs as they are with spark plugs? GSF have got one for 28 quid and one for 50 or i could get gebuine for about 65. Is a coil pack a coil pack sorta thing or will it run like crap like it does...

Spoke to fred on the phone and said id get a pic for him. The 2 black lines i have drawn are 2 drips which i assume can give some idea as to where its leaking from. I know they all leak, but this has got worse, i left the car at home for 3 days to find a decent size pool of oil under the...

Not sure if happens on all sports but my car seems really chokey below 3k. So I held the revs steady to see if I could hear a missfire and noticed that if I hold the revs at a constant say 2k, it will dip to 1600 then bak to 2000 then 1600 and keeps doing that. I'm thinking a dodgy sensor...

Saw a 172 today with the 16" wheels like the ones from the trophy and fell in love. I see those selling for about 400-500. My 182 has got the 16" 182 wheels which you get on a full fat with cup packs so they are anthracite with the big spokes. How much would I be looking at having to pay...

Fit my decat a few weeks ago but cant help thinking i did the springs up too tight. Im going to get a new cat to manifold gasket next week as the one on it was had it so just wondering how tight to do the bolts on the springs when i fit the new ones. Anybody got any pictures? I read that...

I know a cold engine shoulnt be ragged. My journey to work is about a mile and half and the needle has only just got up to its just over half way position when i enter the car park meaning i cant have any fun with it lol. Is there a minimum "safe" temperature or am i just going to have to take...

Just wondering guy what you think the best colour calipers would be to go with a black 182 withouts looking daft. Im changing all my breaks in a few days so want to paint them while im at it. Also what would you use to clean them before painting? Also heres a few pics, not added any yet...

Had it done the other day kindley by a guy on here. Anyway been playing about with it for a few days now and its honestly the best mod ive done so far out of my ktek catbak and decat and pannel filter. Cold starts are no longer an issue, my car used to coff and splutter on cold start up and...

my car has got good year eagle f1's on 205 45 z 16's on and i cant seem to find them anywhere on the usual kwik fit and charlie browns. i need 2 and want those tyres because i want my front and rear matching but my fronts are about dead.

Not sure if it's anything to do with the fact my car is really lumpy below 3000 revs, but on start up from cold I get some crazy pops and bangs coming outa my exhaust at low revs like 2000 when I let off the throttle. It sounds pretty cool ha but can't be right. It only does it for the first...

just fitting my decat pipe and got it on ok. however im finding it impossible to remove the old lambda sensor from the cat. will the car run if i just dont plug it in? my decat pipe doesnt have a lambda hole anyway so was planning on tying it up.
