I would suspect a call to mick would be more appropriate at this point for him to look over the vehicle.
but as a general rule no I would not expect it to go that quickly at all, the dephaser is a none serviceable item, so in theory if looked after with regular oil changes etc it should last...
there cant be an issue with the discs or pads, they were fine on the 172 not 2 weeks ago, removed, put in dry storage, and haven't been used since until they went on the 182.
it could perhaps be fluid.
I think I will replace the slightly suspect caliper and obviously fluid at same time and see...
be careful now with the autolock function, if you unlock the car and only open the boot, do not leave your keys on the parcel shelf.
if you do and close the boot the car will of autolocked on a timeout and you'll be stuck.........not that its happened to me................ :o
I may try the thin metal shims, but tbh its not when they're hot, its all the time
no leaky nipples (ahem) and no visible fluid loss anywhere in the system, all joints look clean on abs unit and under the car etc.
fluid has been changed on schedule with stamps etc to prove by mick @ diamond I...
Tried to do a search but cant really come up with an answer, and I have a feeling that's because its going to be one of those hard to chase could be anything faults
however, the 182 brakes just don't feel very good, little bite to them, the car still stops still but they just don't 'feel' as...
I liked my janspeed one, that never sat right but was slightly raspier than the RS192. but both are nice a quiet
the yozza was a truly lovely bit of kit, sounded absolutely brilliant and beautifully made, but it was just a little too loud for me as the cars a daily runabout.
another vote for...
as above, you would have to but the unit (either new with licence, or second hand then buy a licence from fastchips) and then buy both maps as well. or the second hand unit may come with the map/maps you need
car didn't slip on the dyno did it, if you get wheelspin it can throw the numbers all over the place. and tbh I'd take it with a pinch of salt, if in the real world car feels good then its probably fine and just a duff result on that day. you can usually tell if the timings out when you drive it...
sorry, yes without the spacers standard bolts will be fine, or should be, obviously make sure you get them on with a good few turns before they pull up tight ;)
great cars, mate of mine had one exactly same as that with a scorpion stainless on it, everything else standard. he had to have the drivers seat stitched up and dreaded rust took hold of the rear arches, but for the cash it was an epic-mobile :)
Well, hit the benchmark last night on way home from work
The cars just clocked 118k miles and after speaking to Andy @makavelli who had the map put on, it was done around the 18k mark many moons ago
as such, Paul @RSTuning good job on the map, 100k and the engines running sweet as a nut...
usually about 6k for oil and filter service, but plugs and air filters etc are on a different schedule so I'd do them if they haven't been done for piece of mind
