hi all....still very new to the clio so not really used to it and coming from turbo cars its all a bit alien
I brought the car 3 wks ago and the guy I got it from had fitted a new battery but it looks to me like its too big for the car as it is preventing the cold air feed from slotting into the airbox which in turn is making the car sound very boomy at high revs...so firstly am I right in saying this is wrong? will it be affecting performance? the car seems to make a lot of noise but its not blisteringly quick? or is it just me expecting too much? another question is I have noticed that there are 3 airfeeds to the airbox so I had a move around to see if I could get the main one (next to battery) to fit in but I may have move the bottom feed as there seems to be an odd noise at full chat now it is like a whistle but not as high pitched if that makes sense?
I dont know what to do in terms of resolving this...any advice is very welcome.
thanks.
