I think the temp sensor sends info to the ecu to alter fuelling etc so if you have other issues then it is more likely to be that I would guess. I have a similar problem plus some really bad hesitation when cold so I've ordered a cts so fingers crossed it's that.

If you have a multimeter you can test the injector if you set the meter to measure resistance then put the probes on the terminals of the injector the faulty one should have a much higher resistance than all the others there is a specific reading the injector should be I think it is about 16...

I was going to buy some nankang ns2r track tyres but I've noticed that r888 are only £77 each on openeo so are they worth the extra tenner per tyre? I think both are medium compound and will be used exclusively for trackdays

I replaced my 182 with a mk2 Leon Cupra 240 because we wanted a bigger car with 5 doors but still a hot hatch 4 years on we still have the Cupra and I've now got a 172 cup as a toy aswell

I fitted my spax rear coilovers recently had no problems if the threads are going through that much they must be assembled incorrectly or missing the rubber bushes or something have you got the fitting instructions? If not then email spax they should be able to email you a copy but bear in mind...

I think someone on here contacted the seller and was told it was replaced in 2006

I'm tempted by the 27k mk1 but it's a big risk no cam belt change for 8 years so I would want to drive it straight to a specialist but what if the belt fails on the way that's the issue that's stopped me going for it so far

It is unlikely to be the head gasket from what I've read previously it is almost unheard of for a head gasket to fail on the f4r engine

I know the 172 cup rear brakes don't do very much the rear discs on my car never seem to clean up very much I assumed that was because of the low brake effort but yesterday I saw another 172 cup parked up and the rear discs were clean and shiney so I'm wondering if there is a fault with my rear...

Cheers will do

Hi ive got a set of 15inch alloys for trackdays I've rubbed them down ready for paint I'm going to do them myself I was wondering how much paint I will need I don't want to buy to much or to little so if anybody has done some recently and can remember how many cans it took that would be good I...

Yes I used the standard vax carpet shampoo it worked fine if your seats are anything like as bad as the trendlines in my car you will be shocked at the colour of the water when you have finished oh and make sure the vax has the hand held attachment cos not all if them do

I had exactly that type of stain on my seats and I used a vax carpet vac with the handheld upholstery attachment it did get rid of the stain and generally smartened up the seats

Im not sure it will ever go like the group b stuff due to lack of Motorsport heritage

Replaced my rear coilovers no more knocking noise now bliss

Can't speak for adeyspec but it wasn't genuine parts used on my car just pattern parts from a local motor factor

No probs on the thread hijack in response to g172 I'm not sure if the washers were fitted or not I didn't do the job myself but it does look like the same issue as adeyspec so at least I'm not alone keep me posted if u find the answer mate and I'll do the same

Car is a ph2 cup and I know the rear brakes do naff all on the cup. I had new rear disks and pads when I first got the car back in March but at the time had a v loud exhaust when I changed it for standard I noticed a knocking from the rear but only when braking at low speed. I decided to remove...

I know 172s don't run very well from cold but a couple of times mine has had severe power loss almost causing me to stop. basically if I started the car drove up the road car seemed to be running ok then all of a sudden with my foot in a constant position on the accelerator it started to...

Ok thanks

As title I'm going to be replacing my spax rsx rear coilovers as one is knocking like hell I'm guessing I just jack it up then undo the bottom bolt that holds the coilover to the rear beam then undo the nuts that are on the top mount in the boot no need to use spring compressors or anything?

I may be wrong but when I spoke to Fred at btm about getting a stealth back box he said it was the same centre section as the race system which is 2.5 inch

Yozza stealth is meant to be standard noise levels I went for a ktec super quiet stealth myself standard noise levels good fit IMO the 2litre engine doesn't have the best exhaust note with any louder systems best to keep the exhaust quiet and get an induction kit because it has one of the nicest...
