ive got the oval backbox and i like it.the system took a bit of adjusting to get it to fit right.although it was a good fit it wasnt totally perfect.it has a nice sound and i think its improved the 5k boost of power that you feel.
the throttle body was off a old single point injection laguna and did seem to make a difference.we did all the mods at the same time so i dont know what bhp the throttle body gave on its own.
definatly works between those revs but i dont know the reason why.did a complete section on this system when i did the rte course.the principle of the system would appear to mean that it would phase at high revs but the renault system does phase at the revs previously stated(between 1300 and...
to change your wishbone bushes melt the inner rubber part out with a blow torch.cut a slit in the outer casing so it pops in a bit and releases the interference fit then tap it out with a hammer.press in the new bushes with a press or a vice.remember to refit the bushes the same way as the old...
before you rebuild an engine or while your rebuilding it leave the hydraulic tappets soaking in engine oil.this helps to prevent the rattle when you first start the engine up.tappets will prime themselves as the engine warms up.
it is there to increase torque and it does operate between the rev range i stated.why i dont know i didnt design but im sure some boffin in france has a good reason for it.
vvt only works between 1300 and about 4500 rpm.why between this two revs i dont know but it does.valve overlap increases engine power but increases emissions as well.this is why it only works on full throttle when you need the extra power and engine emissions arent checked under full throttle...
most running faults on the 1.2 d4f engine are cured by reprogramming.there are a lot of tech notes about running faults that your dealer will have access to and most of the repairs are petrol injection reprogramming.the output from a lambda sensor is-on the sensor before the cat the voltage will...
tighten back up the allen key and then undo so its just cracked off but the tensioner doesnt wobble around to much,this way you know the tensioner cant have missed the teeth on the bracket
the water seeping out of the joints is normal(water produced by the cat+condensation when cold).the ticking noise is the metal reacting with the heat(my standard system did it especially hear it when i turned off the engine).172s do have a characteristic noise from the cat/front pipe area sounds...
what happens if you disconnect the door pillar connector on the side that your missus held the handle up so to eliminate it.maybe the door solenoid got jammed/damaged on this side.
no but the gas inside the bulb has to get hot to produce the main part of the light.the electric jumping across the gap produces the intial light and the gas heating up produces the main light.you can see xenons change colour as the gas heats up when you first switch them on.they start off...

if you really dont know what to look for then let a mechanic have a look to be on the safe side.it would only take a few minutes to give it a quick checkover.
the nut is a 24m and the allen key is a 7m.you use the nut to tension the belt and tighten the allen key back up to hold the tensioner in place so holding belt tension.when you turn the nut the tensioner climbs up some teeth on the support bracket.ive had it on some older cars where the teeth on...
