    Misfire still persistent, please help before i lose my mind!

    All fixed! Injector number 4 was near enough dead but was leaking fuel so still gave a slight fire. Happy days!

    Misfire still persistent, please help before i lose my mind!

    Yeah this took me aback a little when it returned this result (tried both wet and dry tests) but it just gets me how it did run, admittedly only for a short while, on 4 cylinders after the replacement injectors with the low compression leading me to believe that yes i do have a problem but that...

    How serious are my 172s problems?

    Just to let you know when you remove your inlet manifold, if you do, the gaskets (the inlet gasket and the oil breather) are actually cheaper from Renault Your MPG sounds good! Mine has just returned from Nurburgring (before my misfire problem) and did an average of 35mpg

    172 cup misfire and blowing exhaust

    My Clio 172 is badly misfiring but as the same time as the misfire developed my exhaust has started blowing, rather badly as it sounds like a Boxer engine, could hear the air getting pushed out, like a ticking sound. Could this be the cause? It has blown once before then got repaired with a new...

    Flasing engine management

    I hope I've got the right section.. driving home last night (steady drive home) the engine management light started flasing, pulled over straight away to examine, no problem? well the idle was lumpy but it had been that way since I've had it also all the other 172's I've seen all have the same...

    disjointed feel

    Tyre's where in good condition but my guess is that its been stupidly low before as there are scuff marks inside the front archs. Must agree there isnt many tidy cups out there, there are good ones obviously but there at a premium. As soon as i see a back box or lowered i normally stop looking...

A lot of stuff and VAG's is shared from the standard Golf to the Octavis vRS so never too sure what model has what. bilsteins I've never had the opertunity to try but I could get KW's for £700 and cant justify the price of them against the cost...

    Pre 172 owner looking for advice on suspension

    Thanks for advice. Been to see it tonight and alot of stuff was wrong, very wrong! As predicted the coilovers were horrendous, was like driving with blocks of wood for suspension, skittish and crashy. One im seeing tomorrow is completely OEM which is what i wanted, so you'd recommend just a set...
