i noticed no change either at first! Just Clutchin at straws to find where me power has gone! Gunna Get a new fuel pump anyway cus i think mine f**ked! Who knows, that be where my horses are hidin!
This is the buzzin noice you hear when you put the ignition on right? Just had a thought, ive lost power and every now and again when i turn the ignition on instead of a plesent buz noice i get a horrible buzz/crackle strugle sound. Is my fuel pump on its last legs?
Well heres the full story.....I got my car on 17s and lowered. Drove it for a week and then it went to the garage for a full service,head gasget, Timing belts and cam belt. I got it back and from then it seems much slower! Ive taken it to a few garages and they say the engines fine and that the...
How much do 17s slow a valver down by? When i swapped at first i didnt think there was a difference but i now appear to have lost power. Do they make much of a difference? Everyone i spoke to seems to think the power loss is the wheels!
i am runnin a ram air kit at the mo but its exactly the same when ive got the standard air box on. Ive got it booked into a renault specailist down my way now. So hopefully theyll find what it is! Also when the car fully cools down but it has been run that day itll run slow! Its really gettin on...
Can anyone tell me why my car seems to have about a 30% power increase first thing in the mornin or when its not been drivin for a while but slow when it warm? Is it possibly the fueling because thats what ive had mentioned to me? They say in the morning the auto choke may be on giving it more...
Mate i had the same problem apart from mine was 3 cables in 8 months. I was told that i needed a bit for my clutch. I got it fixed and ive had no probs now! Ill try and find out the name of the bit for ya!
What extreme do you have to go to for a cold air feed on a valver for an induction kit? They mostly come with a little feed anyway. Will this be enough if i run it from the standard feed or grill?
Ive just found that my cars not been performin too well cus my cat is ....ed. i went to a local garage and they said i can either buy a pipe for 70quid or as my cat is ....ed they can just bang all the stuff out of it and make more or less hollow. will this be ok and does it give much more...
Where can i get one of those thermastats for a valver that make the fan come on earlier and how much? I thought K-tec do one but i cant seem to find them on the website?
Id leave it for a while before you cut it. It happend to me but i just fully disconnected the battery and put it back, still flashed, drove it for a min and it reset to norm! Dont know if itll work for you but its worth a try!
adiclio 16v thats what the mechanic was on bout! I got my car pretty hot last night mind with a good 2 hours of drivin and the fan only kicked in once but as for this water pump - Nothin! Sayin that, i dont think my fans ever stayed on for more that 1 min!
Does the fan normaly stay on for ten...
The sames happend to me this winter. i have to open the door with the lock now but luckily i have them! I tried everything and it hasnt helped! Looks like you need a new one to me! Best of luck on the price you pay though! I got quoted £160inc vat
Thats ok then. Mine seems to be real slow when its hot now too though and thats with the standard airbox so it shouldnt be suckin in hot air! Im takin it back to the garage tomorrow cus ive deffo lost power!
My cars head gasket recently went and my local garage reckons it because a heat sensor went on it. Its now been replaced But is it right that when you turn a valver off and its hot it makes quite a loud buzzin as the water pump stays on till its cooled down to a safe temp? bit like a turbo...
Yeah its had a grands worth of new stuff on it so i thought it may need a run in! It seems to be runnin nice just not that quick anymore! I drove it a bit and it seems to have losened a bit. Its just annoyin though cus i can still feel the power their when it picks up if you know what i mean its...
Right, i got me car back last night from being in the garage for 2 weeks. Its had a new head gasket with the head skimmed and polished, a clutch and a full service. Heres whats wrong! I drove it down the road and suddenly my completely standard engined valver sounds like it got an Induction Kit...

Quick question! My valver doesnt seem very quick until it hits 4000 revs and then it magicaly starts goin sum! Is this the norm for every valver or is summit up?
