Yeah, 7j is the same width as the Vortex. I think Challengers are 6.5. I've seen the early Vortex mentioned - Peugeot were just trying to keep you on your toes! |

Yeah, that's true for the 180. It has a MAP sensor on the throttle body and needs a different sensor to a normal GTi. |

It sounds like it's had a good bit of TLC! I have a mental list of what I'd like to do to mine and it includes most of those thing! Has any of it managed to solve your running issues?!

I'd think you're safe in regards to the cambelt - I don't see how that could cause a problem like this!

It sounds like I have the same leak as this! It just seems to drip off the end of the oil filter. I've tried researching it and somebody suggested that there's a seal in the housing, just above the fi ... |

Yep, that looks like it. The longer bit goes to the expansion tank and the bit with the bleed screw goes through the bulkhead. I've lost the little disc like bleed screw! Stuck without my car too  |
