Haha thought as much. Tbf that's why I haven't done it yet no time/other things to be doing
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Scott - 20-04-2012
That's not good mate. I'd feel bad not servicing it after 6k to be honest :?
If you fancy a drive up, you can do it at mine. I'll be doing Kim's tomorrow so might as well while my hands are dirty

You gonna offer me some help then? I hear you've had plenty of experience topping up oil recently

@ you two!i love how quickly this has gone from a fairly technical discussion to a "lets see how badly we can advise Matt on what to include in his servicing regime"

God you talk shit.
You do however want to put some baby oil in before you put the engine oil in. Makes for a super lubed engine giving a few bhp more....true story.
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - samass - 20-04-2012
thats what it was. one of the two.

That's what's causing nialls to slide out the exhaust

No that was just lack of rubber
Remember kids, use rubber to stop your liquid going where it shouldn't!

Johnsons' 'No More Tears' also works a treat instead of radiator fluid. It stops you from crying when your head gasket goes
Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Niall - 20-04-2012
Tell ya what is also good is sticking a tampax in the radiator. That way, if it ever decides to leak, it will save you the embarrassment and keep you fresher for longer.

how unbelievably off topic can this go. And admin is involved.......

Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - samass - 20-04-2012

Re: Xsi horrendously down on power. - Grant - 21-04-2012
Only just seen this and CBA to read through the 3 previous pages of posts, so if someone has already said it I apologise.
My cat caved in on itself and blocked. This blew a hole in the fire ring, so the exhaust was blowing from the cat/mani joint. Consequentially little or no exhaust gasses were passing the lambda so the car was over fuelling like a bitch. Im talking 130 miles to a tank here. Combing the horrendous amount of back pressure with the lambda being bypassed and there was feck all power.
So, is your cat ok, and how bad is the joint blowing?
I was surprised how much better my car went after having the new cat on, the power loss just creeps up on you and you dont notice too much...
Xsi horrendously down on power. - Matt - 21-04-2012
Yes grant I would presume the cat is okay, it's not a major blow that I have just a slight one, I'm not overfueling that much so should be okay.
I'll be changing the oil filter and oil this week.
And gti exhaust mani next month
