Well atleast its good news that the sensor isnt buggered haha. Actually i'm not sure what the clearances should be. Let me do some digging and see what I can find.

You can leave the sensor plugged in.

A faulty airflow sensor can definintely affect your fuel economy. You can test it with a multimeter if you have one. Connect the multimeter to the sensor and check the reading at idle, increase the revs and you should see the multimeter reading increase proportionally to the increase in revs...

Well start with an end power goal in mind. Decide how much power you want (already mentioned you want more than 100kw) and whether it is realistic for the 1600 engine without forced induction. There is a guy I know that has an x16xe with suzuki GSXR throttle bodies that is making 140kw and it...

Haha sorry for the spoiler bud:P

Problem solved. After checking bulb, fittings and fuse and finding no issues I disconnected the battery for about an hour, reconnected it and everything is working fine now again.

Hi guys My interior light at the front has been on since last night. I tried to switch it off but no success. Where should I start looking to source the problem? Thanks

Hi welcome! Hope you enjoy the forum.:D I would focus more on styling mods than peformance mods with the clio. A 1.2 is not likely to see much power gains for the cash spent on the engine. A good set of alloys, sports exhaust for some engine sound, lowered suspension and a 35% tint would...

Welcome to the forum.

I agree with the other replies. These motors dont breathe very well, so it would be wise to first start there. How much power are you looking at getting? How deep are your pockets?:lol:

Thanks for the advice. I shall take it step by step and see how it goes. 190bhp and 320lb ft is enough for me for now.

I had a blow out about 2 weeks back. A friend and I was driving back to his place the evening on a terrible piece of road and as we were talking and joking in the car I hit a really deep pothole. Heard a "thump" sound and carried on driving. Thinking in the back of my mind that I would check it...

Hi welcome and happy posting!

When increasing the power and torque to those figures is it only the standard clutch that will give problems? Or are there other parts to keep in mind as well?

Welcome friend!

Thanks. Will use bhp and lb/ft figures from now on. Easier for everyone.

That is very healthy power and torque figures, must pull like a train.

Thanks for the nice welcome. I will contribute as much as I can to the forum

Any update on this? Im considering doing the same. A local tuning company down here managed 140kw and 380nm (not sure what that is in hp or ft/lbs) on a stock z19dth engine, a 27% increase in power and 18.75% increase in torque. Celtic tuning have beat that. Dont have figures for that...

Haha!:lol: Thanks for the welcomes guys!

Hi Guys Ralston is the name, from Cape Town, SA. Currently busy purchasing an Astra H 1.9 cdti, should take delivery early next week. Not many people interested in diesels this side, so look forward to gaining some valuable info from the members!
