I haven't done much on the car recently as I've been a little busy but i was getting annoyed by a whine when cornering and then it started on the straights too!
Bit of poking around and i figured it was the pas pump!
So that was changed along with the aux belt as Mick @diamond told me the...
Bit delayed but its now sorted, put slightly shorter bolts from mani to cat and new clamp from cat to mid with high temp sillicon.
Screech free driving finally! Thanks for the help
Oh yeah, it's a standard cat with an aftermarket exhaust. To be fair it was on a ramp and i fitted the end nut on by hand then ratchet in one hand with spanner in the other.
So if i got rid of the springs and put longer bolts in (as it was before) it should seal better? Could that cause any...
Lol that should have been in the previous post.
Had the cat / manifold gasket changed but its still noisy! Need help with that,any suggestions welcome.
On a more positive note Graham at custom chrome is a genuinely nice guy and knows what he's doing. Would recommend him if anyone needs...
Lol yeah ill give that a shot, do you think it'll present itself though? Only because the noise happens when im actually driving and isn't really present when stationary
Cheers for that, but i don't think it's blowing from that joint only because its the same noise but louder. The exhaust fitter also thinks its the manifold to cat. I've got a replacement clamp for the joint you're talking about anyway.
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help with this. I had a bit of a blow between the manifold and cat so bought a genuine gasket kit and fitted it.
It all fitted nice and easy, when driving with low revs its OK but if i boot it a bit i hear a screeching noise.
When the car is stationary and you rev...
Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help / point me in the right direction, everyone i know who has the phone already has lollipop and is on cm12 but I've still got kitkat and cm11.
Can i update manually or do i have to wait for the updates? Ive tried checking in the phone settings but apparently im...
So bit of an update...
Took the car down to Mick @ diamond motors for a service changed the plugs, oil, filters and gearbox oil as well as brake fluid.
Car runs much better now.
Decided to clean up a little bit inside and out, look what i found...
Thats after a good vaccum
Washed the...
I've got the tear off green part but haven't had the new one from dvla. I'd put it down to being lost in the post but the warranty docs haven't arrived either.
It's a 1 year warranty with a third party company, probably isn't worth the paper it's written on i know but oh well
They said that...
Hi,
I bought my 1st 182 at the end of February after selling my x-type and being stuck with a 1.2 clio.
I've had a couple of clio's a 1.5 dci 90 and most recently the 1.2. Missing the power of the jag, i decided to buy a 182.
Made a trip down to lymington from Leicester to have a look at...
Cheers! Not really got anything massive planned. Want to get rid of all the annoying bits and give it a good detailing.
After that i guess my finances will dictate whats next.
Hi,
Last Saturday i picked up my 182 with both cup packs.
I've had 3 clio's before including two 1.2's and a 1.5 90.
My last car was an x type 2.2d sport so switching over to petrol after 5 years is a bit weird
Heres the car:
Already done a few things, the exhaust was hanging as...
