Simple engine mods - Mk2 1.6 petrol
Hello!
I have Mk2 1.6 petrol (100BHP) from mid '07,I'm looking for simple engine mods, Mostly to improve reliabilty/smoothness/MPG, nothing that will need to be notified to insurance as its already through the roof (Passed Oct 15) Total newbie so please be gentle! :boxer: :boxer: |
The engine is already designed with mpg, reliability and smoothness in mind. Nothing you can do will really improve that apart from service it regularly with quality parts.

Thanks for your help so far |
Always use genuine ignition parts, zetecs have never liked aftermarket plugs/leads in my opinion. Get yourself onto eBay where you can pick up genuine parts etc. I use opie oils for my oils/filters as they only sell quality stuff. Look in the traders section on here and they occasionally put up discount codes.
Cone filters do nothing on an N/A engine apart from make noise and suck in hot air out of the engine bay, the standard air box is best. |
Thanks for your help Richie.
