Bally's Xsara Coupe - 1.8 16V - 2000 02

(1/7) > >>

Bally:
Hi there,
Long time since I last visited.
I let go of my P306 S16 and bought a Phase I Xsara 1.8 16V "VTS".
Will post pics once I get a chance to take some.
Black, alloys (summer), 150K kms and all the thrills and frills of a VTS bar the power of the RS engine.
Oh, and it has Remus exhaust (to be dumped, I am too old for this growl...)
This one should be less thirsty then the good ol' 306.
Price of petrol is going strong these days :(

Bally:
Oh yes.
I thought the Phase 2 fuel gauge was crap.
Until I saw how this Phase I gauge works :D
Goes to empty, then to full, without doing anything?
Maybe just the gremlins - don't fancy an unscheduled roadside stop...

The Wrinkly Ninja:
Best tip is always refill in big chunks - the fuel calculator doesn't take kindly to dribs & drabs.

When I bought it, it was showing almost empty. Had a quick run here & there, and it was at ~80% full - no refill...
Gave it 20 odd litres, and stayed at ~80%.
Then after like 40 kms it dropped to ~50%...
It should hold out at least till I get the feel for the MPGs I can expect :)
Then I can go by the kilometre counter :)

Testor VTS:
First dibs on the Remus please! (after you've made a few pics of it naturally)

Ohh, and we seem to follow the same sites, don't we? ;D
