Quick question



  172 cup
As I have already posted I'm coming back to an rs from my astra Vxr, just wondering how much more is a 197 to run than a 182?, tyres brakes and fuel wise?, does it still have the big cambelt service? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

cheers jack :)

Dont have a 197, but the 200 is similar.

Fuel wise, expect between 22Mpg and 27Mpg. I have seen as low as 15Mpg too btw.

Not looked into camBELT much as mines not in need for a few years, but I believe it's a *little cheaper?
 
Not much different to a 182 , cam belt is the same mate big jobbie ! The only thing Is fuel apparently they are worse on fuel but I'm getting 19-22 in my 182 with a decat around town , on a motorway expect around 30-40 depends in driving mate

I've got a 197 and get between 27-34mpg...
 
22mpg in a 182? Something must be wrong. I get mid to high thirties without even trying.

Sitting in traffic? Or on a run mines based on sitting on traffic and driving around town mate ! Decat emissions are bang on so it's not over fuelling ! I think around town in traffic this is about right ? On a run on the motorway I get mid to high 30s aswell

Cambelts are alot easier on the 197's so should be cheaper than 1*2's

tyres will be slightly more but not alot.

brakes will be abit more too.

Fuel will be the biggest difference you notice, 1*2's are really good on fuel.

197's are insurance group 15 and 182's are 16 so insurance might be cheaper aswell.
 
  Maybe a 172 Cup..
Cambelt service for 197 @ specialist around £500.
Thought you wanted a cheap 172/182 mate?
