That's either a v6 or phase 1 airbox depending on how many cold feed pipes it has

 

[andy1982]

Just one

 

[run_pug]

V6 airbox then am sure, loads of people swear by them

 

[andy1982]

Oh ok mate the noise is crazy

 

[run_pug]

yes bud hopefully see you around the manor

When does the vvt kick in a does it do it all the time?

 

[LW93]

Mines around 5200rpm I can feel a slight kick and Indiction kit gets a fair bit louder (Ktr Induction)

 

[andy1982]

That's quite early mate mines about 6000 don't have a induction kit yet have the clio v6 box

Just before that actually more like 5600 getting fatty induction kit hopefully for Xmas will have to see what santa brings me lol

What people's options on that induction kit got the v6 at the moment

 

[yeecup]

if u want more noise get the fatty one, u wont notice any differnce in performance though, but they do sound good.

 

[andy1982]

Cheers for that mate

 

[yeecup]

No worries. I had the ktec induction kit on my ph1 172 and loved the noise it made.

 

[andy1982]

My oil display has just come on checked the dip stick where should it read on the dip stick

Am freaking out its got no oil in it?

Pulled it out and it's on the first indicator

 

[ilovewilly]

The lowest nick is the lowest mark and the highest is the maximum mark.

 

[andy1982]

So when it's under the first one it means it's empty?

Anyone?

 

[MarkX]

under the lower marker isn't necessarily empty but certainly low, put ~ 1ltr in it and see if it's between the markers

 

[andy1982]

Had a bit of white paper under the car all day and had two tiny spots on it should I be worried?

Do clios leak much oil?

 

[LW93]

Hard to tell with leaking On the clios because of the padded undertray but I'd definatly say it shouldn't be leaking at all mate get it in the air and have a look!

 

[andy1982]

Took it to halfords on Saturday they cleaned it up and said keep a eye on it

Where do they usually leak from?

 

[MarkX]

Where do they usually leak from?

It's usually the gearbox, not engine on a clio imo

 

[andy1982]

It's usually the gearbox, not engine on a clio imo

It's engine oil 100% mate the level is going down also was a advisor on last mot

You'll need to get under there and take the tray off to see if you can trace it, it could be as simple as someone not using a new crush washer on the sump plug!
