oh, you really want to use braided lines if you can. Never liked having hoses so close to a hot turbo. Tweeks or SFS are your best bet for having hose on the shelf
Having a very strange recurring problem. intermitently mozilla will completely freeze up if i try to open a youtube link or similar. only way to make it work is with a full reboot, but i know it's going to keep happening....
If i leave it to recover i sometimes get a "flash has stopped...
same as this for me. I'd not bother with a clio with less than 80k tbh, engines need loosening up to make the best power anyway. going to have to free up some money if these keep coming up :(
i recon that's your manifold to downpipe gasket worn out. once they're worn, the springs go slack.
saying that, driveshafts can make all kinds of noises. Mine's just started to vibrate on small amounts of left lock, which is fun on the motorway when you come into a gentle left bend.
i've fitted Gates, Quinton Hazell, FAI, INA, and all use the same idlers/tensioner apart from one idler in the gates kit IIRC, which is made by the same bearing company that make one of the other tensioners....
only 3 or 4 companies make belts anyway, the just get re-boxed. Be more concerned by the idlers and tensioner, but in my experience they're all the same also
If the probe was put somewhere hot and the actual intake temp was low, then that would give a false high reading. However, if the probe is in the appropriate place, and intake temp is genuinely high then its a legitimate compensation factor, designed in by dd, and iirc originally calculated by...
not really small when you consider power isn't far off doubled lol
very odd thing to say, that's a laggy very high output turbo, capable of ~500bhp. Totally unsuitable tbh
probably just about got away with that as they have a tiny exhaust housing
might be using the wrong size. did a 206 CC the other week and got given the wrong clamp with the new backbox. it dropped in about a week, turned out they gave me too small a clamp but it wasn't obvious until i got the right one
