Hi all, I have a Ktech turbo conversion fitted to my 182, and there seems to be a problem with it misfiring and running rough. I have found that the actuator on the turbo that feeds the dump valve is pulling a vac constantly and may be stuck? Could this be some kind of common fault with the...
Hi all,
In the process of fitting a Ktec LPT conversion kit to a Clio 182, and was wondering what people have fitted to their sump for the oil return from the turbo? I understand I need an elbow with a tight 90 degree bend, but on the pictures from the Ktec DVD it shows a 1/2" tap for the...
This is my Stainless janspeed Cat back.
Like CUP80Y says its fairly quite below 4000rpm but once opened up gives a nice roar! Compared to my mates Magnex on his 172 its a little louder but not much and the tailpipe is a little smaller aswell.
The only downside to it was the fitting of it as...
Does anyone get a kind of like tapping noise from their stereo when starting up or turning engine off??
Its no big deal bcos it only happens for a few seconds but was just wondering if anyone knew what it was?
Cheers,
Mike.
lol, No to be honest I was gonna take it out anyway cos obviously it cant be doing the engine any good?
What damage will it cause if I do leave it in anyway??
It fits to the Air Intake Temperature Sensor in between the air intake box and the throttle body.
All you do is unplug the sensor and stick the resistor between the two connectors and it tricks the ECU into thinking its sucking in colder or warmer air than normal (not sure which one) but it works!
I was looking on ebay the other day and I came across this "ADD 20BHP TO YOUR CAR" and I thought Yeah right my arse!
But anyway I clicked on it and read the description, and I thought well for £3.99 I was curious to see what they were actually selling?
Payed for it and whatever and it came...

Bought my 172 about 4 weeks ago and I absolutly love it to bits!
I bought my 51 plate 172, second hand for 9k, and for the money I just dont think you can get a better buy. But on the other hand I dont think I would have bought...
Well iv ordered it from http://www.potn.co.ukwww.potn.co.uk which has recently been updated so i prosume that janspeed must have been taken over by someone else?
cheers 4 ur replys anyway.
this is my old 1.2 . I used ripspeed mesh and cut it out as a template and tied it on over the standard grille with fishing line so u couldnt see it.
I also did the bottom part of the front bumper with the same mesh but u have to remove the undercover to do that but looked v.good...
Yer cheers for your advice. I think im going to take it back and ask them to pay for the full lot under warranty exept for the drive shaft cv joint which i let them change yesturday. The service came to £186 with the new cv joint so was quite happy with that.
so just a shock absorber and...

Some kind of suspension damper has a hole in it and is leaking out grease. quote £70
Brakes need a good clean and...
