Old video but... OpdEFOiCo6Q The noise is the solenoid firing, 100% sounds the same with yours, i replaced my dephaser and solenoid and its silent now... I drove it all year with it like that....was fine.

Yeah, can be had cheap on here. Think someone was selling some engine bits in the for sale section, although they do come up all the time

The thread in the side cover that the bolt goes down into is probably f*cked - new side cover needed to fix it...

Yeah - the fitments for the mechanism are different... Adam had the full 172 lines (both parts) and ran them to the pump iirc, so hes got the 172 quick release underneath where it should be

yeah, couldnt be bothered fitting the other side of the 172 line to make the 'quick release' work....as it dosent seem to connect to the valver line properly anyway. Just got a couple of steel joiners and joined them both. Im sure they were 6mm internal dia. joiners, I can check tomorrow in my...

Im using 6mm steel joiners between the 172 and valver lines IIRC, which were a tight fit

It sounds hollow as f*ck on idle, just how mine used to before I swapped the dephaser. You can also hear the solenoid activate and then deactivate as it passes the VVT cutoff/rpm. I swapped both of mine earlier in the year and its like a different engine... I used it for a full year sounding...

838 with the fuel light on

No problem just give me a text whenever

If you want a connector with some trailing wire to solder on ive got one on a scrap 172 loom at the factory

Broken AGAIN?!? :sleepy:

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Still not got the machined hub back yet, or a replacement driveshaft. Il do a proper update once I get round to doing them. I spent some time hiding ALL the wiring up inside the dash top the other day, nothing visible now really! As said earlier - picture of...

Tried a new coilpack?

Talking of oil... yOAYCSyefK0

Jamie with his bad directions once again, where did you end up?!?

Re: Engine fucked... Yeh Ben il have to come for that servo at some point so will have a gander

Good little mini meet and catch up, first one ive managed to get my car to this year I think... Started with Bifcaids trying to get in...lol. Then Mike brought out his perfect plate and we proceeded to cable tie it on, lol...

Re: Engine fucked... My old one was noisey as f*ck, well it was the dephaser in the end though. I took the head off, replaced everything and fitted another dephaser and solenoid, quiet as anything now in comparison!

VW Racing, lol! Thanks for making me run out of fuel after that too - it was bogging like f*ck down the motorway haha. My pictures will be here shortly...

I dont really use facebook Fred, just got your message now lol. I would only have told you what Jay S has though so be reeeeet.

172 one is indeed longer than Williams. With the williams item fitted on my 172 setup you can see its ever so slightly too short (not going into the bushes fully)

My word!

The 'short shifter' kits usually consist of two parts - the gear lever and the small pin that is for the box end. The reason peoples boxes seem to f*ck up is when this pin is fitted, as it does make the throw a lot shorter than just using the stick/lever. Ideally just fit the lever and be done...

Looking good as always...camera sensor/lens needs a clean though ;) Where did you say them metal spigots were from?

Would imagine the 172 ones fit like they do on the Mk1s!

The depth of the pushrod cavity in the Cylinder is less on the 172 item. The servo isnt adjustable either - sigh. Ive got some M12 males, probably going to make two fresh lines (its O/S Front and one of the Rears that are the M12's - has a joiner under the bulkhead), and just swap and change if...

Did they bleed the system when they fitted the new rad/filled up with coolant first time?

Renault only, the cheap copy tools bend
