got given one of the said cars by my folks the other week, was wondering....

Is it possible to buy a panel filter for the 1.6 16v engine??

Secondly, there's a sort of squeal at low revs when i initially pull away. Any ideas what that could be?

Car sitting at 59k if that helps and its an early 2000 v.


cheers

yeah shoudl be able to get a panel filter no bother for it.

The squeal could be anything. Where is it coming from? drivers side passenger side?

cheers for the quick reply mate! Cool

Sounds like its coming from the passengers side, my initial thought was the clutch release bearing.. im not sure though... never happens if i put a lot of revs on the car when i move off Question

quite a nippy car though, was surprised by it actually Rolling Eyes

if the air box is square then it should fit!

Could be the release bearing, when you rev it lots you have engine noise covering it and I would imagine you don't slip the clutch as much!

id check the gearbox mountings personally, and check the tension on the auxiliary belt.

the air filter is about 4 inch by 6inch on the 16v, id do away with it completely and redo the intake.

Stupid setup on the engine i reckon, inlet and exhaust on the back but injectors at the front!

engines set up like that to get runner length, and the injectors are mounbted to fire on the back of the inlet valves.
