I have 197 cams in mine and there is no pops and bangs. Generally that is something that is mapped in or something is wrong with the timing.
BTW i have a PMS exhaust on mine and its lovely bit of kit, can't recommend it enough. It is quiet tho, just a bit louder then OEM.
Yer i guess i didn't waste much time or any fuel etc. I don't want to say much about it tbh and cause any issues. Yer like i said sometimes these things happen for a reason so im going ahead with the suspension and maybe turbo later down the line.
Again not going to say to much on here Steve...
More positive update today fixed my rear light! It was really bugging me as when i touched the brake the fog light was coming on the dash even when applying some throttle. If you saw my "Battery & Stop Light" thread you would see how bad the corrosion was. Ordered a replacement bulb holder and...
Well its been a bit of a roller coaster couple of days. I was all set to go and see the potential new car (Clio 200 with Meg engine and LSD box) and unfortunately received a message saying it has been sold :( To say im disappointed would be an understatement, i guess these things happen for a...
I think i may have an answer to my question, i have cancelled the suspension work for next week and i will be returning the majority of the parts i have purchased. The car will still go into the garage to sort a few odd jobs and i will get an MOT on it next week hopefully and then stick it up...
Hmm it's interesting you say this because i have a similar problem, i had all my brakes checked over and apparently they were all good so for now i am going with changing all the suspension bushes etc as they are probably all shot anyways. Did you rebuild them yourself or send them off?
The power steering normally wines anyways, i had mine replaced for a brand new one and still wined ha. So it could be that wining and the alternator that's fucked. Any other symptoms? Let us know how you get on.
As @bloke says how old is the belt and tensioner, if it's old or done 36k or more then replace with a full aux kit from somewhere like RPD and you will be golden. I recently changed mine and was a bit of a pain in the ass, but used the jubliee clip on the tensioner and that done the trick nicely.
Lol well its always a case of wanting rather than needing. I really shouldn't be looking at getting a new car as there isn't really anything wrong with mine, not that it has stopped me in the past. That's how i ended up with this one in the first place haha.
Basically if i keep mine i will want...
Can't help you with regards to the bolts. If you have a look through my thread i believe it has the link to the eBay advert where i got my Febi ones from. Would be worth sticking a powerflex support in as well. If you want to go on track then swap to stiffer like Vibra.
No picture update. Received my injectors from @cs_dave during the week. Decided to have a go at fitting them today. All went well was a bit of a pain getting them back in, but took her for a spin afterwards and seems a bit smoother and better throttle response so bit of a result.
Next week will...
