QUOTE(jarbuthnot @ Mar 9 2004, 12:35 PM) QUOTE(mikester @ Mar 8 2004, 03:10 PM) you may experience preignition with "regular" and thus need a higher octane but bearing in mind the price of gas I would check out the mid grade. I'm getting a new engine, shortly, which will be a 2L (up from 1.7), so guess what the owners manual says, no longer applies. Haven't a clue what I have/will have (I'm mechanically challanged), but would assume it's stock. What is preignition and do I really care for a daily driver? Edited - sorry, didn't mean to hijack this thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) If you are getting a 2.0l almost everyone uses the Euro 94 mm pistons for 8to1 compression. You should use the premium gas running these or you will hear that "Pinging" taping sound when you floor it. Not a good sound! Its the gas preigniting before it should or exploding in a big bang instead of a slow burn pushing the pistons. This can slowly cause engine damage like broken rings which then leak oil and rob power. How is the car otherwise? Hmm, why are you getting a 2.0l motor? Geoff |
