#1: Bore wash on a GTi 180 Author: data, Location: HerefordPosted: Fri Jan 17, 2014 12:59 pm ---- Hello peeps,
Last week my gran had a stroke. I moved the car to make way for the ambulance. I moved it only a few metres. The next day I moved it back.
Two days later I tried to start it up and it took about 4 minutes. When it started it sounded like a bag of spanners for a minute. Now I have the dreaded antipollution fault.
is this because of all the fuel in the bores has knackered the cat? Took it out for a proper drive the other day and I can't detect any loss of power apart from maybe between 1 to 2k rpm.
It's booked in for a service, hope it'll be ok.
...My gran is on the mend slowly, but she can't speak or move her right arm. She's a fighter so hopefully will make a good recovery.

A set of Twin 40 carbs and press the accerator to give a good squirt of fuel from the accelerator jets and it will but not modern fuel injection.

Should run better after new oil + filter + plugs. It's been well serviced previously.
I read somewhere that the best bet is to buy the plugs direct from Peugeot, is this correct? NGK aren't they?
#9: Re: Bore wash on a GTi 180 Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Mon Jan 20, 2014 12:17 pm ---- Never buy NGK,they are not Peugeot friendly..lol,the one from dealer is BOSCH,they are the best to be honest.
