View Full Version : Clio Williams 2 Hybrid Resurrection!!!
Well, currently sat at home and waiting for a call for someone to come pick my car up and take it to get my engine. I'm now switching (not through choice...lol) to Megane power and if my car can be picked up today or tomorrow it will be started then and ready before the weekend! AV IT!
Sweeet!!!! good to hear :D

Glad its all getting sorted now Jon, and i've let you into one of my biggest modding secrets with these guys i've put you in touch with!
well, the car should be getting picked up today and ready Thursday or Friday, AV IT. Then it's back to Ben for mounts and cam timing 8)
Really pleased for you, even my GF was gutted for you...happy days :D
Cheers Nick I'm well happy now it's going in to be sorted... just disapointed with the fact it's been off the road 3-4 months out of the 14 I have owned it... shit happens though... please can I have a bit of luck with it this time!!! lol
The Phoenix rose from the ashes and Yo was as FAST as F**K :twisted:

Glad to hear its coming back together. Must admit over the last few weeks I had been getting really pissed off with mine, but its first test drive has changed all that yesterday. :D
yup... i feel like getting it fixed and selling it still... but then I look at it outside all clean looking and once I get back in and drive it i'll be confirming that it's staying... lol

Excellent :-)
make sure you bob over to rochdale to take me for test drive
lol
deffo will do m8, once it's back i'll head over to see you and Jon boy. if it's ready in time for York we should have some fun comparisons on the way over... need to run this engine in a bit I think.
hehe..a meeting on the way to york will be perfect for the run in mate.
peaks run did mine no harm lol
well it's only on 24k like i said, so reckon by 40k it should be loosened up and starting to fly. canne wait!
Quick update, the car was picked up and taken on a low loader... should be Friday evening... so i'm coming to York! wahoo!
Good news man!!!! Yorks going to mint!!
quick update... I'm a paranoid fukker... so new head too... **** it, had to be done... uprated too
:D Glad you've turned this one around mate
me 2, i cant believe how quick everythnig is happening!
well, collected the car last night... one concern, it's sounds like a racing gearbox has been installed, in that it whines the higher up the revs you go. Not taken it to 4k yet as Mehdi said the cambelt sounds as though it's on too tight... the guys told me to take it very easy for the first 100 or so miles... will it loosen off then? if this something I should be concerned about?
(either way, no idea on the performance side, as I aint put me foot down, just been driving a 3k tops)

its really nothing to worry about...
just a tight cam belt... if you ever hear mine before the new engine goes in.. you'll notice mine whines like my gf... well not that bad, it just whines slightly
hmm, dunno, it's never made that noise before and this is now my 5th belt service and change... had one on 54k, no probs, sounded normal, then again at 70k, 72k and 75k... again, all sounded normal... this one makes a whining noise that scares the shit outta me tho, never had that before... will this stop after a bit, as I have done over 20 miles with it since getting it back.

i wouldnt worry too much... just carry out a cam belt change in 10,000k if its still whining.. or...
get the cambelt loosened off.... slightly
does it whine in neutral when u rev?

My belt whines ever so slightly, sounds like a supercharger hehe
it whines in neutral yeah, but it's quite loud when getting to about 3k or more. Dont dare take it much further as it is very loud considering I can hear it as well as the zorst... :?

it aint that bad! Well you're going to get it timed up on Saturday so just take it easy until then, better safe tehn sorry, then all hell can break loose on the return leg of the journey :wink:
true, hope nothing happens before then tho... i'm just a little paranoid now... i dont trust the car after all the agro i've had.
will it be safe to drive to Ben, as that journey will be done at 3-4k rpm all the way there?
glad to hear it jebus, apart from the whining, but just take it well eas for a couple of hundred miles mate, let everything settle in the being used again, how long has the engine been stood for?
yeah gonna take it well easy until Ben does his magic.
not sure how long it's been stood, prolly a bit to be fair.
Any other megane engines going spare, wouldn't mind one!!! :wink:

Off topic Jon but have we got stand passes for FCS? Just spoken to BRUN and he says we need em!
Any other megane engines going spare, wouldn't mind one!!! :wink:
Get it sorted...drive in and out in a couple of days by the sound of it!
Mehdi, yeah we certainly do pal :D
Danny, to be honest m8 I'm sure they can get one or have one spare. They are also amazingly quick considering the fact the engine was coming out etc, well impressed. I'd do it if I were you...
It's back....Excellent man!!!
My cambelt used to whine, loosed the tensioner but was still a bit whiney....the whine went after a few 100 miles. Im sure ben will sort it if it theres something wrong.
yeah, sure it will be fine, apparently it's not uncommon... just is to me as i'd not had that noise before. i'll just take it very easy for the time being...
