@jinjur did you ever fix this issue? I have the exact same problem going on right now... Revs intermittently bounce between 600 and 1200 on idle, almost cutting out then it takes a breath and bounces back up... other times it will idle fine at a solid 750.... When driving, slight hesitation on...

p.s. I would actually paypal you a fiver if your theory fixes it... its took me weekends and a few quid to get this far.

Please share, I’ve been on this for weeks and a new module is £379 so I won’t be chancing another!... are you thinking bad earth perhaps?

seems the only logical explanation... im gonna first check the wiring to the addon boost module and how that looks.. few more tests I can try.. last resort will be to fit a whole new loom (which thankfully I have a spare)!

p.s. its milbyturbo here :-)

I have Brigsy, this has been an ongoing issue which I can't seem to solve.. map sensor reading on live data intermittently just stops on a fixed 102kPa causing my fuelling to go crazy and misfire... have tried 3 map sensors, all the same result... Live data is showing engine running fine, then...

Hi, did you ever solve this? I currently have it on mine.

Hi mate, Did you get sorted in the end? I have the exact same problem currently.. I need to order a new rack for my ph1 and having a nightmare confirming which one to buy.

Hi everyone, will this be happening in 2017? Interested if so! (Newcastle here).

actually forget the altenator wiring bit I checked again and its fine.. my error... looking at other forum posts some people mention cleaning up the TDC sensor... is this a possible cause of the symptoms ive described?

Ok, so ive had a problem which has increasingly gotten worse in the past few months... It started with my car curting out if I was reversing and turning the steering wheel.. sometimes this would cause it to cut out at the point I took my foot off the accelerator and let the engine drop to idle...

Hi did you fix this? I have the same problem

Hi did you fix this? I have the exact same issue on my ph1

So I'm maybe buying a ph1 with a Ktec stealth.. but it's the loud version... how do I make it quiet, is it just the centre section I would need to worry about (as in change)?.... Also if the car has a 182 manifold (on a 172 ph1), does this mean it's likely to have the ph2 ktec stealth fitted...

What was the email address you used? I'll try again.. lol

Anything back?

Anyone selling their ph1?... I'm currently looking for another one to use as a track car/spares.... anything considered and the nearer to Newcastle, the better!

I've mailed them twice now for some small bits and pieces I need and ignored both times....

Rad is an easyish job... about an hour and a half and £60ish for a new rad and £15 for 5 litres of type D coolant... I did mine myself for the first time earlier this year using one of the guides on here...

Came across your ph1 progress thread last night whilst searching ph1 stuff... was a really good read, then I got to the end and saw you dismantled it and sold all parts and had it crushed... I was like "whaaaaaat?????".... Also wished I'd spotted it 8 months ago as I would have bought bits off...

Yeah deffo... I toyed with the idea of another 5 turbo.. but prices are like £5-6k and parts are either non available or extortionate... for less than half that price got a much better car (IMO)... and that's coming from me being a massive 5 fan having owned them for 13+ yrs

Good stuff Yeah loving it.. I could never imagine going back to N/A now... it's like having my 5 turbo back but better... well worth the money!!

Thanks I'll check it out.. only other thought was my inlet and surrounds had been painted.. wondered if maybe once all heated up it was this.... This morning I turned the blowers off and the air recirculation button on and drove to work fume free...

Hi All, I just got my car back having had a turbo fitted.. part of this was to get rid of the cat and fit a decat pipe... I've noticed since having it back the car smells very fumey outside.. and also inside if I'm sat still with the blowers on I'm having to turn them off and open a window to...

Hi Robclio98, did you suss out the exhaust smell in the cabin? Mines just had a turbo conversion and since getting it back I have an exhaust smell coming through too...

Andy at Clioturbo owns a mint one.. you could always make him an offer I guess

Hmm possibly.. come to think of it, I'm pretty sure even before the PAS was replaced the belt had already once been replaced as it was fraying down one side... 12-13yrs ago now, trying to remember exactly what happened.....

Great ph1... and amazing maintenance.. enjoyed reading this thread from the start.. keep it up!

Back in 2003 I bought a 172 Cup brand new and on 20k miles / 2yrs the same thing happened... aux belt shredded and took out the cambelt... i was accelerating and suddently a bang and all lights on the dash came on and complete loss of power. As it was in warranty (the whole car) they fixed the...
