common fault, i think you only get the complete washer unit as a spare. front bumper off is a 10 min job...

no, it won´t, short journeys won´t bring engine on enough temperature to get rid of condensation which builds up in the cooler areas like oil filler cap or crankcase breather!

mayo on 1.2s is quite normal, after a longer journey it should be ok. keep an eye on coolant level, consistence of oil and smoke from the exhaust.

check the rear exhaust mount.

why don´t you buy a set of winter tyres? would be cheaper in the long term!

inlet air temp sensor. its fallin out because its f**ked!

cheaper and German quality: VDO

Is your temperature above 75°C? If not Your limiter will kick in earlier. check your thermostat!

You can use the audio-connection-box on your changer input, think even ipod is supported and controllable via stalk.

Another one from Germany :rasp: MK2ph3 1.2 16v OZ Superturismo GT 16" FK Highsport coilovers Dynamique front bumper colour coded except the Dynamique spoiler "Chiemsee Edition" sport seats and lots of fuel, oil and maintenance... Cheers!

I´ll do, when i am on your beautiful little island in february!

Fastchip.nl have a manual for the 172 for download.

Sell me Your RS2 inlet! :evil:

Max. engine speeds for a coolant temperature < 75°C 6,700 rpm for a coolant temperature > 75°C in 1st or 2nd gear 7,200 rpm for a coolant temperature > 75°C in 3rd, 4th or 5th speed 7,000 rpm sorry 7000 not 6800. check the repair manual at fastchip!

In 4th and 5th the Limiter kicks in at 6800 even when its on temperature, had this on "autobahn" in 5th!

6800 rpm is the limiter in (3rd) 4th and 5th gear! so should be perfect. stock engine?

do you here a clicking sound from the glovebox area when you switch fogs on?

get a proper aftermarket exhaust like a ktec or yozzasport. when i bought my 172 from england, it had an powerflow exhaust and it was crappy craftmanship and not stainless either. you cannot expect massive gains with another exhaust...

before you bin money for the throttle pedal, try soldering the connecter in the footwell!

Could be a faulty connection of the pedal-plug, common problem with the non-sports. try soldering the connection, should be a black/yellow plug near the clutch pedal!

Carbon cannister catches fuel gases from the tank and buffers them and directs them into the air inlet in partial load situations. just an environment thing like a closed oil breather. if you are annoyed, get rid of it but keep the valve plugged in.

my new exhaust smoked aswell on the first few miles when hot...

didnt make a long trip, temperature was still ok, but will bleed the system after refitting and mount some hose-covers.

Thanks alot!

Interested in pics of relocation bracket, too. My hose splitted an hour ago :(. Expansion tank completely empty...

you need to get camber-bolts, which fit to your front suspension bracket. try this: http://www.h-r.com/de/f_tripplec.php the pdf explains it!

topmounts could be worn, get new ones when fitting coilies

not p&p

yeah, its supposed to have the big bracket. u can use coilies from 1.4 16v, 1.6 16v and some 1.2 16v which have the big ones too.

no, it wont. it depends on your hub-bracket. there are 2 diffrent sizes for non-sports, i think 52mm and 56mm!? you own a 1.2 8v?
