So got the car back yesterday morning, i used it for work last night did a fair few miles in it but I've got a few issues.
When it's cold it makes a knock or taping noise under loads from the engine, it goes away when it hits 60c and is fine there on after, absolutely no idea what's causing it.
I turned the pump up last night but can't get full throttle arm travel with the pedal I'm about 5/10mm off full travel, not sure how to sort that tho as I tried to bend the pedal and nearly snapped it off so gave it up as a bad job.
I'm not happy with coolant temps, it sits about 85 (on both my gauges) fans come on around 92c when in stop start traffic. This has been like this since I first got the car tho not a new thing. It's had a new thermostat (with 2 , 4 mm holes in to help bleed and attempt to get it to run cooler) it's got a new radiator, water pump is definitely pumping as you can see the flow of water from the expansion tank. So another issues I have no idea about it just seems to run hotter than all my previous xud's.
Other little issues drivers side tyre catching arch when turning, drivers seat belt doesn't want to retract very quick at all. And there's proably a few more issues I've forgotten about. But I feel like roll on Saturday night for when it comes off the road so I can park it up and forget about it for a while.
Any how just chucked a bucket of water over it in an attempt to make it abit more presentable for french car show.
