whats the latest year that u can get a mk 2 ph 2, had sum bloke down the street said he could have bought a cat d phase 2 for £1400 yesterday and he rekons it was on an '06, but i rekon he was full of it cos i am sure they finished on a '55...
i have just done this, and it beeps twice, but then nowt happens, tried all combinations, turning ignition off and on again after the beeps. but nowt, got 02 ph2 172 climate control etc...
not notice a reduction in mpg? might be leaking from sumwhere when driving, fuel being pumped round but obviously the fuel doesnt move when stopped...fuel filter first stop tho
wouldnt bother letting them no tbh not worth the hassle, what serious difference is it gonna make if have a crash or bump, if they come out and see you got a induction kit.....not pay out ( doubt it ) just stick the f00ker on
i need a front downpipe for a 1.2 on a '02 will the engine be a D7F?
and also if i replace the exhaust will the cat need replacing aswell. Anyone no anywhere that does them and price?
many thanks
i wouldnt bother tbh mate. Like most ppl say on ere, just wait until u can do it properly and legally, i have wanted a CS since i was 18, i'm now 22 and have just been able to get insured and get stuff sorted. They are worth the wait. And if you put a 172 in a 1.2 body, it will just fall to...
the black circle which holds to bulb in place screws out, then the bulb pulls out, its a bit fiddly but u should be able to manage, if you cant get your hand in take off the top bolt holding the head light in place, it will pull towards you about an inch or so, helps with space. Also dont touch...
i think its got summit to do wi the gear ratio aswell. When sitting at about 75-80, its doing 4000rpm or there about. Just feels like its too high revs for that speed. mind u, i have just come out of a 6 speed GtTdi golf 130. Which never went over 2500 rpm so might just be me lol!!
Private plate, think it was saying steph, parked in the car park at the cross roads in sacriston, co durham, opposite the coop. Then another one in shiney row, blue, think it was a 172. Then went a turfed a bike up the A1 past the washington services. Went past the womble police....(highway...
sounds like because you cant change ur trip button, it is on the "0000" display, rather than oil ok. I doubt that it would indicate a oil or filter change just by sayin that. If the oil and other fluid levels are fine. i wouldnt worry about it. just keep an eye on ur oil for the next few weeks...
u got a sub or amp in the car. cos my mate had a punto all wired up, and when he accelerated there was a load whistle like a turbo, but i cant remember where it came from, few years ago now like...
:S dunno why it was on there, but it was a sticker saying TOW and a a arrow pointing to the towing eye?... nice seats tho, and a nice car all round, could do with a clean tho.:rasp: Spotted on the A720 edinburgh bypass this morning at 7.20ish.
lol agree, i bought a 172 off a lad on ere, i paid £2600 monaco blue 02, few things wrong but i read up on it from what he posted on here, nowt mechanical just electrical and climate control issues, all in all a decent buy. I looks the tits and goes like stink. Just come out of a golf gttdi...
Re: someph-ing different...........
everything about the car is amazing, except the engine bay tbh, should have been matt black with yelllow detail to match the car...
+1 number plate takes away from diffuser... still looks lush tho was lookin into carbon fibre bonnet, 380 from ktec, but i wanted a carbon fibre front strut aswell, but they only do the polished for the 172, no anywhere that does carbon?
sumtimes wen i start mine up and its cold, it feels like summit is pulling me back, as if its lagging or sumthin, then if i bash it off the limiter or the exhaust pops, it stops, only does it early morning when its cold, that just pressure in the exhaust? sorry to sway off course like...
how old is the k&n, they can get scruffy and not let in as much air as they would new or clean, this makes them rather pointless aswell! like savi sed, being a 1.2 u cant expect much if any power increase from air filter, i used to have one on my vtr and tbh i didnt feel like it made any...
