ecotek valve

what does an ecotek valve do?

is it worth getting one?

I think a lot of forum users see these as a waste of cash from reading past posts.

get it and try it. a few of us do reckon they give better fuel economy. some dont.

Works on my 16v. 330 miles plus urban driving out of teh full 50 litres. Nearer 400 or just over if using motorways mixed with by daily urban driving.

Throttle response is better for some reason too, noise is a bit crap!

I managed to get one of these for free...

Fitted it the other day and I am just in the process of seeing how much (if at all) it affects the fuel economy, as thats what Im after.

Will keep you posted.

i found no difference in responce or anything but didnt expect it. just seemed to drink a bit less. plus mine was free too. my dad had it on his scooby. - surpisingly he didnt notice less fuel consumption, like u bloody would on one of them!

 

[sbmbailey]

whats the cost of these?

 

[Ben j]

dont ask us.... we got em free

Its nearly £50. I really wouldnt bother unless you want a nasty rasping noise coming from under your bonnet. I bought one and had it on a 1.4 16v Clio and it was a waste of money, IMO.

sbmbailey we can get them free aswell, if you like. But only if we work together. Next time they are both going to a meet we will just happen to be going to the same one. When there I shall distract them both (and anyone else who is with them) with my lame chimp in a nappy playing the viola impression. Whilst they are laughing at me you can be half inching them from underneath there bonets! Sorted.

Dont take this the wrong way but id save your money if i were you and save up for an exhaust or induction kit or something if youre into power/noise mods, and if you are then any mpg you may save will be lost the next time you boot it off the lights! Im sure if renault wanted to make their 1.2 clio any more mpg efficient theyd have fitted them as standard to all of them. This is only my opinion tho.
