Well we shall see but this is said to sort the problem out so you don't have to clean the valves and inlet out . This is the only change on the 208 GTI and the RCZ and I don't think they have any more problems Alan

Yes I am told so . x 2 caps from Peugeot £ 1.75 each and job done . just a pain having to take off the inlet manifold and clean all the valves . Alan

This is what I am doing at the mo to fix the small faults with the engine . Direct injection engines, such as the EP6-DT and EP6-DTS by Peugeot/Citroen, suffer from combustion residue buildup on the intake valves. Because fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber, it does not go...

Yes this is true . The build on this is so much better than it was on the older units . Just has a few problems ( that every car will have ) that are being sorted now . Alan

This is what I was thinking as well . Alan

Yes same here as I have had x 2 106 GTI x 2 306 GTI-6 x 1 206 GTI ( not good ) and a few 106 D and 306 HDI . The 208 GTI is said to be more like it and the RCZR is much more like it LOL Alan

This is spot on I would say it is good at everything amazing at none . This was the best car to fit my bill for the moment for price performance mpg age toys etc Will not excite most people as does not do anything amazing . Alan

Floored in design but good for a 1.6 well I think it is good when it is working LOL Alan

TBF a lot of the problems with the engine can now be fixed from fitting the parts from the 208 GTI and the RCZ it just means more cost and more work for me . The engine is a great little unit but has a lot of small faults on the first gen engines . At least I will be keep entertained at...

Well not really the BOV is playing up and putting engine lights on . Car still drives fine but will order the VW replacement one . Also will be de coke my valves and fixing the problem with the rubber bung from Peugeot at the week end . Alan

Its broken LOL

What is the power of the car again Alan

Some more pic after a quick wash only . 305 mm front disc and one more of the seats :) Got the Oil and filter changed but did not get time to change the spark plugs and coil packs and air filter . Alan

We shall see :)

Few service bits arrived today and a new K & N panel filter . Have just looked at what remaps are on offer and flashremapping can do this for £ 220 taking the car to 200 BHP and 234 LB/FT . Might think about this after a few months . Alan

Yes there are some faults that can happen :) I did a lot of reading in to it and the most common is the timing chain ( this has bee changed ) but other things throw up the De pollution light like plugs , coil pack o2 cat etc . Alan

Yeah the seats are the best bit I think LOL . Not sure TBH I think they are not . Alan

It does everything well but nothing amazing I would say . People will not like the steering feel and the breaks are a tad over servo but power full . It just fits what I need at the moment and the engine is a cracker ( when its not throwing up fault codes lol ) Alan

Yes sorry 75K Will give it a good clean / was at the week end . Alan

72K Alan

Some more poor phone pic

£ 3500 so not bad for a 2007 car with the top spec and Octane pack . Alan

Yeah I have no doubt that the thing will break at some point . The engine problem was mainly done to the cam chain but this was replaced 1000 miles ago . The seats are good mind Alan

175 BHP and 197 LB/FT Octane pack is Dual C/C Rear parking sensor Cruse control Auto wipers and lights Directional headlights Auto folding mirrors and some other bits

Yeah more like 175 BHP and 200 LB/FT . Its the BMW Mini cooper S turbo engine in it . Drives well not great feed back but more of an all round car with lots ok kit . Regards Alan

leading on from this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?714212-New-car I picked up my new car last night . Could not me more far apart but fits the bill that I was after well . I know no one likes them so flame suit is all on and ready so please feel free to insult at will :)...

Was good enough for me to sell the Mr2 last Thursday :) Alan

Ah the D/C of choice for local testing :) Alan

Don't want a E46 Don't the PD engines have problems if it is a BXE PD engine I have read ?

yeah this may be my best option . Not too sure what tho . Kind regards Alan
