[pritchard-13]

So I picked a very clean 172 up tonight with fsh ect only prob is the car feels like its realy holding back and feels quiet gutless deffo alot slower then my previous 4 clio sports I do no the lambda sensor needs changing can this be my problem for it holding back? Thanks

Anybody?

Get the timing checked. Wouldn't have thought a lazy lambda would have such a significant impact on performance tbh

Yea that was my first falt he said he had the belt and dephaser changed at 106k car is now on 111k I asked if a known garage done it he said no his mate didso there is my answer I guess lol

How much am I looking at to have the timming checked and if it is out how much to time it proply any reccomended garages in southeast? I live in sittingbourne kent

 

[gez 172]

I reckon around 2 hours labour. £80-100?

 

[pritchard-13]

What to check the timming or to put it right or both? Lol thanks

 

[James23]

A check should be half hour labour plus £12ish for the cam end cap things
