ive never known one to actually break... they corrode and stick which is when they're replaced.
and your right, FBW is far from an issue... its just not as good as a cable :rasp:
the delay is miniscule... its only noticeable if you've changed from a ph1 172 to a ph2.
if you've not owned a ph1 172 you won't notice a delay as there's nothing to compare it to, which is why most people on here wrongly claim the cable throttle delay is a myth.
should be around £350ish, change it earlier than recommended... i would say 3 years or 40k miles.
renault will tell you 5 years or 72k miles which is a silly risk
Its a fact that the delay is noticeable. its obviously something you get used to, however when i changed to the 182 it took some getting used to the delay.
my cable became corroded on my old car at 60,000 miles and cost £20 for a new one... hardly an issue lol
it uses 'fly by wire' throttle control... basically uses an electrical signal to open the throttle which creates a small but noticeable delay in response.
indeed. Speed wise, not much in it at all... but purely as a drivers car the Ph1 is the better choice. You feel more connected to the road, and also the car gave so much more feedback than my 182.
Like i said speed wise, there's nothing in it. Handling wise, again not much in it as my 182...
saw the BTB system on Saner's car last weekend... looked top notch and sounded great! the quality of the welds were fantastic. I can certainly see why its got the high price tag.
