no the injectors arent coded in. if one was full of crap the rest may be too. lambda sensors failing can also cause crap idle and running.
did you get the codes read before firing the parts cannon at it?
I've been told to give it a week or two to bed in. I drove it yesterday and its pretty savage at fast idle and when pulling away. Feels lovely when on the move though and even though I didn't notice much slop, the front end feels more connected. I may end up going to Powerflex to see if I can...
Had some spare time so fired on the Powerflex mount. Not actually driven it yet to see what its like but there's is an increase in vibration just at idle, it was expected but we will see how it is once I take the car for a run. Captured a bit on camera so slapped together a quick vid. (y)
Still not gotten around to fitting the powerflex dogbone mount, I also need to get in and do the aux belt and tensioner. Anyone know if there is a special tool needed? Pretty sure the exhaust is blowing again so I need to order up a mls gasket rather than the ones I have to replace it. TBH Most...
Got a hoist ready to go if needed. Thing is I have another retro Renault project on the go currently in my single driveway space
That said, the issue is intermittent and tbh unless I told anyone what to look for you would probably never notice the issue when driving
So that's now changed...... 😡 The original quotation given by Ktec was £1500 inc vat (bearing in mind a new clutch supplied and fitted elsewhere was around 2k, with it being a refurb instead of new it seemed about right price wise) that was complete removal of the gearbox, including...
Not got any videos of it as of yet. I will at some point though. I had it mapped pretty linearly, so it drives a little more like a big N/A, hard to explain, pulls well though, gets stronger the further through the revs you get.
Not too much to update here. I've swapped out the 20mm front spacers for 16mm eibach items. Makes the front track match the rear a bit better rather than having the wheels pushed out so much. Also it feels slightly lighter and nimble, could be in my head though.
I've also received a powerflex...
On renewal last year mine went from 300ish to 1400! on a standard car. Got a modified policy through Brentacre for around 450, though I had to modify it to keep the policy open.....
looking good. my cheapo rubber splitter is still on and hasn't budged (touches wood)
@Danith I had no rubbing issues with the cooksports on stock cup shocks (well until I fitted spacers..... Plus i run 225 wide tyres)
Depends on the size of your turbo. But 7 to 10psi is considered safe (when mapped to suit) on a 172 engine with a t25.
Most engines are old worn and knackered, something will break.
could well be a bit of contamination on that friction plate, or just a little worn out with age. does it do it more/worse on cold days, when the car may be a little more fruity/powerful?
I can check the thickness of my clutch plates using Renolink, could possibly do similar on yours to confirm...
To be fair, I think the stock clutch will be fine for most people. The price of this fitted (at the moment ) is cheaper than a new unit supplied and fitted, essentially its refurbing and relining the old one. (I've done this many times in the past, just never on a DCT)
We will see though, for...
So it looks like my clutch pack is starting to let go. I'm told there is a common issue where the rear main seal mists a bit of oil onto the rear friction plate. This shows itself initially with the car reducing boost/power when it sense slip in 5th gear. So I pile through the gears and it gets...
Ive also manged to fit some Pure Motorsport bits over the Christmas break. 10mm stub axle spacers and some 20mm front spacers also from pure. Fills the arches out nicely, will give it a bash over the next few weeks and see if there is any rubbing.
I spent a little time today working on closing off some of the gaps around the rad pack, intercooler and creating a duct to feed cold air up to the air filter. Haven't finished up yet as rain has halted play but there should be an improvement. I've also modified the fog light housing so I can...
