just looking at a small enigine clio reallly. prob 1.2/1.4 around 2004 model. only really going to be used for going to and from work but would want a nice set of alloys and subtle exhaust. dont want to over chav it. currently got a fiesta st but need money for moving out tbh. would love to get...
right looking into getting a small engine clio 1.2/1.4. currently have a fiesta ST and previously had a 182. main reason for downgrade is need for money really. was wondering if anybody has a small engine clio or any pics of some nice modded ones? only really going to be used for going to and...
usually let the car warm up on drive for 5/10mins before leaving to work. usually a 20min run through lanes to get work to avoid traffic on main road. will give it a good run after weekend and hopefully see a difference. may drop the oil out and give it a change while at it
will do cheers guys. only had the car couple weeks so aint really had much time to use it with it being xmas and all. i take it condensation getting in there wont harm anything?
heaters seem to be working fine. had to top up coolant earlier but not sure if it was just low so will keep a eye on that. cars still under warrenty so may just roll it down to renault. im assume if i take it up and down the dual carriage way a couple of times and it dont go then it could be...
got a 1.2 tce engine and found this
read in other posts that may be condensation but i drive the car everyday 6miles to work and 6miles back. usually either main roads 40mph or down the lanes at 60mph so not too sure. any help would be great cheers
iv been told if i map my astra 1.9 cdti it will go from 150bhp to around 200 mark through the sport button mode thingy. both my mates have remapped diesels and both perform quite well. one being a 1.9 tdi golf with the 100bhp standard pdi engine now running around 13o bhp the other being a...
yeah so far build quaility seems fine. no rattles which is a bonus. i love the way it just pulls through every gear. 1st gear is a bit of a let down but most cars are the same tbh
deffo looking at remap and lowering it. want to get the most out of it. think they are a marmite car either love or hate. completely different car to the 182. still goes and handels pretty well though and quite suprised with it being a diesel.
yeah rear visibility is a bit crap tbh but i can live with that. nicer to drive bit smoother and all that and alot cheaper to run which is a big bonus at the mo. missing the xenons tho lol
after owing my 182 for just under a year i decided it was time for a change. mainly down to running problems with car and having to spend to much money on it. so went for something a bit more grown up and more pratical for me. going to miss my clio like made.
old clio
new astra 1.9 cdti...
just smells like warm water. been a problem for a long time tbh. my mate reckoned the fumes smelt like a problem with the cat. spoke to a mechanic and he reckons its most likely headgasket on way out
hi guys hope you can help me with this. posted a video so you can see my problem. im sure this isnt right? getting alot of smoke and water from the exhaust
if u get the piper you will have to post up some vids as im looking into getting a exhaust system and have looked at this 1 through work and also the ultra sports exhaust that k tech sell
havent cleaned the car in bout 2 weeks and car was bone dry. been doing it when the weather was better earlier in the last couple months. getting quite poor mpg so didnt know if it was related to this
just annoying to look in my mirror to see white smoke blowing everywhere. my mate dont like being behind me either when it happens lol. wouldnt be over fuelling or anything like that would it? or be anything to do with cat?
