drive shafts, one of the vans at work had damaged drive shafts and it wobled the steering and car until going over 60mph. ( dont try that!!)
get it checked out for faulty drive shafts if im tbh
only problem i will face with the dci engine is i cant seem to find after market bigger injectors. ( without going crazy on the cc size )
twin clutch or maybe hydrolic? overkill
okay, just thought about going all out with this one in the hope of preventing the mess thats happened with the original. had it apart and tbh it looks like a squirel has been at it and swomped in lovely black oil :dapprove:.
will fit the new one then, but injectors and turbo are already off...
okay that makes sence thanks, engine ( proposed choice of modified veriant ) wiring loom from the other car, and run a seperate control unitl for lights and comfort accessories.
will a 1.5 dci 100 from a clio be able to withstand such power when uprated parts are installed? got a feeling the...
cheers mate, got a new engine today thats done 45k ( dci 80 ) all complete, turbo ect.
going to strip that down, new piston rings, have the injectors sent off for a flush, re-lap the valves into thier seats,andy is going to port polish it up a little.
turbo is goin to a freinds to have the...
I would prefferably want it to last a fare bit of abuse. Dont mind if its smokey as long as it do chuck it out like the american dodge cumming engines. So best idea is to buy a modifed one, buy another donner car to put it bk to standard and use he modifee bits to fit into my clio?. Also would i...
brilliant just what i need :(, might aswell get it out and paint the car then follow on from thier.
right all i know is their is f**k all chance of saving this engine, can already tell that valves and pistons could be fucked and turbo gone with the wind.
if i get another engine and fit it...
results are not good so far, oil hasnt completely drained out yet but from shinning a torch on the oil, thiers little metallic flakes.
fred iv taken the intercooler pipes off and thiers ALLOT of oil running out of both pipe and intercooler.
guess its bye bye engine ? :(
mine only goes upto 5k, really odd cluster aswell, black trim, black backround with white numbers and lettering. no red line visable. revs got stuck at just under 5k and didnt climb or fall :S
i know sods law!!, was all ready for paint aswell :(. just checked, level has dropped to minimum bang on. checked also for oil on the floor, round the head and near the turbo and thier is no signs of oil escaped
half tank left, needle still reading the same. has my timming slipped? or can it be turbo related, was screaming until i took the terminals off to kill the pump
i wish i did now, andy has just told me that i should of put it into 5th and had my breaks on as far as i could push the pedal :dapprove:
reason behind this ? rather annoying as it was bloody fine until i left it running :mad:
yes fred, dci 80. only just had all belts, new intercool and serviced parts done. ( done by my uncle who is ex renault ) guessing nice thick white smoke coming out the back is oil burning?
right, today i went to start my car to move it into the compound.
it started perfectly without struggle.
left the car outside for arround 2 hours whilst cleaning the bay where my car had been sat in the air for how long.
went to crank it over again and it fired up again without struggle...
indicator problem sounds like the relay has gone. as for the horn, clean up the connections on it and see if that makes a diffrence. someone else should be along shortly with more info
