I've still got Vibratechnic engine and gearbox mounts if you want to buy them off me.
Will it bump start? I've also still got a coil pack and ht leads if you want to rule them out as a problem.
...to find in the UK either - which is why I ordered one from Ktec originally.
To complicate things even more, I recently fitted Ktec/vibratechnics mounts (upper engine and gearbox - already had powerflex dogbone bushes in) and it looks like I don't have the knocking anymore - well, at least on...
Easy one... Most likely corrosion on the main control relay terminals, faulty main control relay or corrosion to the 30A/15A fuses in the bay stopping power flowing properly.
Finished fitting the vibratechnics gearbox mount, Refitted the battery that had been on charge. Tried to fire it up but it cranked but wouldn't fire. Plugged the RS tuner in and had about 6 df009 codes - actuator relay fault. Having second thoughts about making it my daily now lol.
fitted a new lambda sensor to my phase 1. A job I never ever ever want to have to do again!
Tried to swap the gearbox mount for a vibratechnics one but couldn't get it out. Took my anger out on my airbox and smashed it to bits - anyone selling a ph1 airbox? lol
Good calls. I looked at your video of the steering rack play, and mine is different, It's more of a... twangy knock. And it only occurs with the left wheel on the ground. All my mounts are replaced with uprated polybush ones (or Vibratechnics). Lower dogbone, upper gearbox, upper engine.
I had exactly that and its gone now. You could always try new inner tie rods as the play can sometimes be in those.
With you saying about 'taking off' how do you mean? Do you mean accelerating hard, if so I would seriously look at the lower gearbox mount (dogbone) as this is the cause of that...
...cars I've worked on.
Anti roll bar bushes. They are tight, and good condition. Can't see it being them.
Engine and gearbox mounts. New VibraTechnics mounts put in 2000km ago
I'm really lost as to what it could be. Everything feels very tight about the suspension. I am beginning to think it...
...swap, engine cover and heat shield fitted. Future plans include alloy header tank, black silicone coolant hose kit, powercoated inlet, VibraTechnics engine mounts and a bloody good scrub up.
When purchased:
As it stands:
Whilst we're on the subject of ph1 clios, WTF is up with those cats...
Nothing special about fitting the mounts that I know of. I use the vibratechnic mounts which give slightly more vibration through the car but nothing that bothers me.
No point in larger rears. The standard ones hardly do anything anyway.
...and new. Sym0n's has the same set up iirc and his doesn't rattle or anything, but does drive really well.
Ktec the best people to go to then? Not Vibratechnics (or whatever they're called)?
Also bought 2 more spare centre caps this morning for a bargain price BOOM!! Plenty of spares now ;).
The dog done is the most Important in my opinion, notice the most after having mine done. What I found was after doing all the bushes was that u notice other things that are loose lol like I've powerflexed everything and got vibratechnics engine mounts so it's solid now and feels 100x better!
...relished my top mounts are shagged so gonna be buying some new solis ones, just ain't decide which ones as yet. So this could be my noise, I still think there's something with the rack but I'm getting my vibratechnics engine mounts tomorrow and fitting them in the week so I'll report back...
I just wanna get my car in the garage now! Wanna see what it is lol I've got some vibratechnics engine mounts coming on Sunday now aswell so if it is down to them I've got that covered. I think it is something to do with the rack tho, as it's bolted to the subframe. But will have to see.
if youre looking for uprated engine mounts,
look up vibratechnics, they do the range of solid engine mounts for these cars!
i think you can order them from K-tec racing!
car looks great! good luck with it!
