It's good idea to increase efficiency, but how do you mean? This was the reason I asked whether the 'new' engine is more efficient? BTW do you know what is the difference between them? 1, Multi coil ignition 2, probaly new computer or sowtware?? (could it be compatible?) 3, ... ? I don't know...

Arghh... Recently I saw an ad they "guaranteed" 4l/100km on an 1998 1.0. I'm not a rookie driver, but my car will not ever go under 5.1-5.2. That's why I got the idea of changing the engine - or at least the things around it. But at first I'll start with a longer gearbox and maybe I'll try to...

I haven't seen one, but I suppose after 98 or so in Europe every car had to have an EGR valve. That's why I thought newer Micras had these valve system built in. And as far as I can imagine, as this valve adds exhaust gas to the fresh mix it optimizes the flowing process and increases...

After almost a year I'm still definitely not satisfied with my fuel economy. My K11 is a 93 model and I'm wondering whether the newer version of the same engine (from 98?) should give me better consumption data? Does anyone have any experience?

Yesterday things seemed to turn even worse: After starting the engine there was NO oil pressure for a second. I'm worrying even more! :) To tell the truth - this was the first and only case it happened. I started the car approx 10 times since that and it worked allright. (Not mentioning the...

That's not so easy IMO. :( On the image: 1. You have to loosen the nut that fastens 'Idler pulley' (17mm head). For this you may have to lover the engine. (of course by removing the support screw) 2. Loosen the tension adjuster (12mm head) found under the pulley.

It is made in the UK in 1993. I can't take it back, the situation is much more complex - but I think there's no point on going into details. The fact is: the car seems to be a bit worse then I thought when I bought. (be aware of woman's cars! :) ) Fact II: I have to repair, there are no...

Please help me with ideas, I am stuck :) When I bought this car recently there came a strange noise from the engine - the 'dealer' said it's from the alternator's bearing. And I was quite sure that he's right! It did exactly sound like a dry, weary bearing. He gave me a spare alternator - I...
