Happens every now and then, more so with the 172 than with any of the 4 other cars I have had. Its usually after I have finished work driving a diesel focus all day, the 172 feels sooo heavy in comparison! (but way more fun!!)
Hi,
I picked up my 02 172 just over a week ago and noticed that the external temp display appears to be wrong as at the moment it is displaying in excess of 30 degrees celcius. But having done some research the temprature reading would be correct in fahrenheit. Does anyone know if this is...

Cheers for the response guys, a friend of mine who is a mechanic is working on one with such a problem and he asked me to see if i could find out if it was a common thing

Hi guys, newbie to the forum here! Just a quick question does anybody know of any recurrent problems or had any issues with the valves on their 172s dropping or the guides causing any problems with the valves?
Any help would be appreciated
