I'm the same mate andys just quoted me another £1400 bill to refurb the box and engine.

The cam seal popped off which Imo isn't my fault which caused the engine damage.

I'm undecided what to do, but if I do get it repaired its getting put up for sale soon afterwards.

Do not turbo a none turbo car = problems galore!

What's the damage?

Ah right ok. That's a lot of grief though tbf! You would've been better off fitting the full Meg 225 engine and box. That way you get a stronger box and a engine that's designed to be boosted from the off. Just my opinion though of course.

Absolutely - if I was doing it again I'd 100% drop a Meg 230 engine and box in, no question. It's all good though, it's been a fun few years overall!

We're new cam seals not fitted during build when new belts fitted ?

Supposedly yes as they come in the kit.

All these clios seem to spend more time being fixed than they do work! Shame your selling up george. Regreted selling mine since the day it went

Boom G Baby!!!
Lets go!!!
Georges cars been a lovely car.

Cams blanking caps can pop out when the engine excessively breathes on turbo clios. They dont' just "fall out"

Only just seen this! Sorry to hear George, but understand.

What's up next do you think?

i bet you've had some fun with this car george, makes me think if its worth boosting my cup after all the problems i read on the forum, i was only going to go with the low boost set up though, will have to have a rethink maybe, i waould supercharge it but cant see anyone that does it

Clioturbo will do a supercharger conversion, atleast when i asked and had a clio theu said they could

They just do turbo conversions mainly

Don't be put off!!! My low boost Clio has been faultless, attention to detail is needed though and it can't be just 'fitted'

Yes mate! I think once you start chasing big numbers you'll have more reliability issues, the more you start fitting parts to handle the power the more you take away from what the little Clio is all about IMO!
