Fletch's 150k 172 Project..

[Russ_16v]

Stick it under a sheet somewhere and come back to it - wish i had done that with mine

You cant get shot of it. Its the only car i thought would be in team anorak till the very end. However you would be dangerous in an r26.r (in a good way).

Sad times with the fletchbus mate, however R26.R is a very good shout!!

 

[Christopher.]

Could you see anything obvious when you got back Fletch ?

Yes guys sad times :dapprove:


Yes Russ. If I had somewhere to store it I probably would mate.

Not really mate. The aux belt most defiantly was/ is catching against the pre tensioner ( spring) something around that area has failed. my biggest concern however is where the oil is coming from.. :S I checked the dipstick and the oil level is still spot on, and the car was pulling as well as ever on Sat.

I really could do with getting the engine out and having a proper look, or getting in to a garage for a full check.

Keep it!

Id offer my mechanical expertise tomorrow if we knew what were should be looking at/for :S

 

[tom172cup]

I have a garage that it could hide in for a while?

I'm off to Ipswich tommorow mate. Your mechanical expertise would be great though, take the bumper off, and have proper look

How hard is the aux belt to change, and what tools are needed?

 

[Christopher.]

Whip the acoustic valve our while you got the bumper off

 

[Fletcher]

Can you just remove it then Chris?

The bumper is currently just clipped in place so It'll only take a sec to whip it off again.

 

[Christopher.]

Yea will take 3 seconds to do on yours as you got no wheel arch liners

Think there's a guide on here

I misread your post mate. I thought you were on about the carbon canister, that also needs to go.

 

[TimR26]

Here's the guide for changing the aux belt http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?437872-Cambelt-Auxbelt-Dephaser-Pulley-Guide

I think we should be able to muddle through it.

How hard is it to take off the front bumper, fletch?

 

[TimR26]

It's easy, just a few screws and bolts to remove then it'll pull off.

You may aswell remove the aircon and be done with annoying/expensive aux belt changes.

How easy is it to remove mate? My condenser is no longer on the car and I have the 172 cup setup waiting to go on.
