Great car but very unreliable cost a bombe to keep on the road but I did like it yes .
The push button start was a good touch along with the 5 pot .

Bored at work so thought I would post a few pic of the cars I have had so far in my motoring life .
My first car was a Hyundai Accent 1.5 MVI
Then it was on to a Peugeot 206 GTI
Then my first hot hatch Renault Clio 172 PH1
Only a few pic
Then on to a Rover 200 BRM
Then a...
Inlet manifold off turn crank to get first 2 valves closed then sea foam brush dentist tools and other bits .
Took a long time but was worth doing by the looks of the state the valves were in .
Car drives much better now im guessing to the increased air flow .
Alan
LOL yes I seem to be the only one who likes it :)
I can tell you are keen but I will not swap for your R26 and cash my way no matter how nice you ask :)
Alan
Over the weekend I took the inlet manifold off to clean the valves .
Also I changed the spark plugs , coil packs BOV , boost control valve , Canister Depollution system eletro valve and the BOV and cut and crimped the wires .
Also put a K & N panel filter in along with an oil and filter change...
I loved the looks of my one big 4 door with a huge rear wing :)
They drive great as well .
Only bit was Vtec was hard to keep it in the zone on up shifts .
Alan
Well we shall see but this is said to sort the problem out so you don't have to clean the valves and inlet out .
This is the only change on the 208 GTI and the RCZ and I don't think they have any more problems
Alan
This is what I am doing at the mo to fix the small faults with the engine .
Direct injection engines, such as the EP6-DT and EP6-DTS by Peugeot/Citroen,
suffer from combustion residue buildup on the intake valves. Because fuel is injected directly into the combustion
chamber, it does not go...
Yes this is true .
The build on this is so much better than it was on the older units .
Just has a few problems ( that every car will have ) that are being sorted now .
Alan
Yes same here as I have had x 2 106 GTI x 2 306 GTI-6 x 1 206 GTI ( not good ) and a few 106 D and 306 HDI .
The 208 GTI is said to be more like it and the RCZR is much more like it LOL
Alan
This is spot on I would say it is good at everything amazing at none .
This was the best car to fit my bill for the moment for price performance mpg age toys etc
Will not excite most people as does not do anything amazing .
