Mine is basically standard, the exhaust was on when i got the car and its 1/2" smaller pipework so that cant be helping, a panel filter does nothing and ktec believed it to be remapped but didnt know what map, spoke to the last owner (someone on here) they didnt remap it and was unaware that the...

I wanted a S3 and just took the 172 out for a test drive to kill time but fell in love with it. There good fun but not good quality, but you do get a lot of car for the money, would still love a remapped S3

There 158bhp with no torque, good engine for a 1.6 but against a 2.0 with much greater torque in a similar weighted chassis no competition

Fixed it, the plastic cog on the regulator with the two wires clipped on had lapped over each other just re-threaded it now works ok. Put it all back together and now the service light has come on

Right got the door card off atm having a good look and the mechanism seems fine it hasn't come out of the runners. Just the scraping noise when its going up and down and stops about mid way. The noise appears to be coming from the motor end though its hard to tell. Any ideas?

I would say theres nothing in it, the TT maybe 225 but much heavier and quattro's are known to loose a lot of power through the transmission. Saying that the clio would probably break down half way through the race

My passenger window has stopped working it goes up and down partly on its own but needs help going the whole way. Dont know if someone has leaned on it. Any ideas?

Lovely car but seems a lot of expense and work for a 218bhp FWD french hatch.

Where did you get the cold air intakes from, are they feeding an induction kit or cooling for the brakes?

Ive read the whole thread but on the basis on him comparing his DCi to the 1*2 thats what my post was about

The car to the right is only a mazda 323

Where did you dream up a 300kg difference, dont be daft probably more like 50kg. Plus a remapped DCi would get well and truely owned by a 1*2 theres no comparison and i would know as i have owned them both.
