Re: Pilky's 2.0 LS

Re: Engine Mods
yeah exhaust manifold gasket needs replacing and some mechanic wannabe tried to do the job and sheered one of the bolts off then he decided to not fix what he did. But if it sounds the same after that has been done then i will look more into it.

Re: Engine Mods
I take it the best thing to clean the throttle body is with carburetor cleaner.

Then when we get to the destination we will check with the owner if the vehicle is in the same state it w...

Thanks for that Robsey handy to know mate. So do you think it's worth looking at the connector to see if it is a bit corroded aswell?

C20NE hot starting problem
When starting cold the car starts first time every time but every now and then she will start but will stall only when hot. It takes a couple of attempts but she will start and idle after those attempts. Also when I do start hot I give a little rev but as soon I come off the pedal and revs come down...

2.0i 8v Sound
Is it normal for the 2.0i 8v engine sound to be really ticky? It is just a couple of people have just questioned it when had the bonnet up. Also it doesn't help with the exhaust manifold gasket blowing.
