£157 all in sounds a really good price. They probably have a technique all sorted from doing loads of them and dont even have to take the box right out of the bay.

not since 1992 ;) it's Volkswagen AG (similar abreviation to Ltd or PLC)

weaksauce ofset TBH

I always clean them as part of a service when they're already fitted. They always seem excessively oily too. Air-flow meters in general dont like oiled filters but you dont have to use anything like as much oil on them as some people do. I've used K&N oiled filters on my nissans for years...

yes. but it's a lot of work to just leave the old clutch in

Looks nice. You'll notice the engine being freer reving with that

sounds too cheap, gearbox off is not a simple job on a clio due to how the subframe is right beneath it, so it's either engine out or subframe off before you can even see to get the box off.

most new cars give a non compulsary option to change oil at 500-1000 miles. I Think I would if it were mine

the hesitence will be because you're drawing hot air in, especially bad with an open filter mounted where the air box would have been as it's right behind the radiator. K&N mounted in a cooler area would fix quite a lot. The viper is good if you get the cold air feed fitted to the front of it...

only needed if there's a problem with them. Belt alone from Renault is £19 To be honest you wont save anything by taking pre-purchased parts to a garage, they should charge you near enough the same for them

Nice system. Lots of manifold to wrap!!!!!

was that farkin ages ago at the old workshop? Think I helped him fit that

Omex would be in the region of 2k off the top of my head, so considerably less than Motec. Charlie at Pro-speed would be the man to talk to about exhausts

we can access and clear those codes with snap on scanner :)

most of the problem with the standard throttle body (fly-by-wire) is it's slow to react and opens to where the ECU lets it rather than where you're telling it to with the pedal. Minimal gains from this IMO but if you're done everything else and really dont want to convert to cable throttle and...

Amen Brother. Err, but what's wrong with getting the back sliding? it's a technique :D

really dont want to seem impartial about this but my friend has had his for a couple of years and is at his wits-end with it. Pricing him up an Omex 710 to replace it. I tried to help him get it running with his new engine (RB25) and i had to type every load point (ignition and fuel) by hand as...

any idea what the pistons are? time to take the bottom end apart I think. Could be as simple as the oil pump chain is touching the cover

not at all. You can be an enthusiast, and maintain the mechanicals faultlessly without obsessing that a heat shield is slightly damaged

not buying because of minor engine bay cosmetics would be incredibly blinkered.

no that's a PAS pipe the clutch cable is the closest cable in view, and it doesn't have the weight on it

the aux belt SHOULD have been done at the same time as the cambelt, but it's worth having a look at the condition of it to check it's nice and new

money better spent elsewhere IMO.

make sure the aux belt has been done then :) If not DO it NOW. Cambelt should be ok for a while yet

injectors aren't directly linked in a way that could cause failure of more than one unless there's a major fuel contamination problem though. A burnt coil which is a more common injector failure would be down to the individual injector unless you're over running the duty cycle for extended...

it'll be aux belt squeeling, common on startup, can be down to an ageing battery so extra load is being put on the alternator. I'd change the belt anyway as your car is 6 years old unless you have proof it's been done (cambelt and aux belt shold have been done already) A good motor factor should...

wouldn't say it's as cut and dry as that. We had a good look over a car with a squeaky clutch this week, and lubricating the cable got rid of the noise. A good amount of penetrating lube to loosen things up (dry grease, rust etc) then some fresh white grease to keep things health for a while longer

just going by your other thread I'd say you have a big airleak that's causing your bad economy
