Did you not notice it was stiff?? They tend to fray where they go through the firewall and the accelerator becomes stiff and hard to control accurately especially at low speed.

does the engine turn over??

You shouldnt snap them. Use a socket set if possible to get more turning force. Probably best to do it while the engine is cold.

Cheers ill give that a go tomorrow

My PH1 is underneath :(

Some cars have the adjustment inside the car but most have to be adjusted underneath the car. Its a git to do. Its on my to-do list!!!!

I do believe you just never heard of it being a problem before but it does make sense. Can't believe they cant even manufacture the tensioners the same!!

I changed it myself so have nowhere to take it back too. Its going to rentec on tuesday so ill see what they say. Thanks for the help. Have they been known to have to much tension on the spring before?

You should have got a yozzasport stealth if you wanted a quality exhaust with similar noise levels to the stock renault one. Plus its stainless so itll never fall off like the renault one.

Why would the tension suddenly be too tight after 3 months of driving though? Anyone heard of the aux belt pulley wheel not lasting very long?

New one is a good buy. It's not too loud when driving normally but is loud enough when giving it some beans!!

Once the engine has heated up I get a whining noise above about 2k rpm. Its really starting to annoy me now. Ive also had a whistling noise between 1k and 2k rpm for a while now. I was thinking maybe the alternator bearing or water pump bearing?? I'm hoping its not a cambelt tensioner! Whats...

^^ I dont think anyone has removed it we have just removed the foam that is on it. Removing it totally would be a bit idiotic IMO!!

The software comes with a logging program so you set that running on your laptop whilst its conected to the car and go for a drive. Save the log and email it to Henk. He will tell you if everything looks ok or not.

As title didn't get your reg as you shot off as soon as you came onto the motorway!!

I just removed mine I could really understand what it was for as it was not actually in contact with anything.

Or just get an extension lead and get your PC next to the car??

Exalto PE2's not sure on size though

I had mine on the other day only noticed when I looked at the cars reflection on the garage not a good look very chav!!!

This is a warning that your battery is on its way out do a search there are plenty of threads on it just to check im right :)

If it a quiet tick tick tick tick etc then its probably the exhaust cooling down or as said relays etc opening closing if it quite a loud tick I would try to see where its coming from just to be sure.

Have you got an aftermarket cat then? I wouldn't think anybody would class changing a lambda sensor as tampering with your exhaust system. How would they know anyway?

How do you use its potential on the motorway though which let face it is where most of us are getting our high mpg values. You dont need to drive it like a mad man all the time either :rasp: . I'm on 36mpg so far over this tank and that includes roughly 120 miles of motorway drving and 60 odd of...

Well if it does im a peasent too!

because when the solenoid wears out it clicks. Just a cheapskate way of getting out of replacing it.

K-Tec stealth not too loud, well built and is a full 2.5" system so it frees up the engine a bit lower down the rev range.

Good going!! Once rolling at 70 if I reset the mpg I've got 50 before but it soon drops with even a little throttle!!

Asda fuel in a 182..............

I get 38mpg consistently over a tank week in week out. Though most of my miles are Dual carrige way or motorway. I dont see why people would make it up. If I calculate the mpg properly taking into account the speedo overreading it still comes back as 36-37mpg.

What model clio??
