Welcome here Daniel.

I'm not portugese but belgian. At least another european

You'll find a lot of usefull informations here.

Congrat's for your new car. Which engine is it? Gas or diesel? It looks like a 2011 model, do you already have the Sanyo Tomtom nav on it?

BTW : I know a few portugese guys from GT5 and most of them are speaking french too, is it your case?

If you speak french Bonjour et bienvenue! Congrats on the car and you'll find lots of useful info on this forum!

[da2el]

thank you for the welcome
will post more pictures of my car

the car is from 2009 so is from the first ones and the engine is a noisy diesel 1.6 PSA
thank God got an 1.5 petrol in the BA but with this fuel prices it stands most of the time stoped
(petrol: 1,70€ /liter; diesel: 1,50€/liter)

Indeed but it' s a nice try

For your engine (1.6d psa), it's not really noisy honnestly. It's 1 of the best engine in its class. Compare it to a VW, or a BMW diesel engine yours is quite silent.

If I can remember it's the same engine I had on my '05 3. It delivers 109 HP and a torque of 240 Nm (260 with boost). Which mileage do you got with it?

If you want/need some tips for your engine I can highlight you, keep me in touch.

[da2el]

yes those engines are noisy too but I think mine is a bit louder since I use bio-diesel
it has 70.000 kms

do you have some nice tips?
for example in the 323F one of the first things you do is to take off the resonator box so the air comes in the engine more easily




in this engine don't know what to do yet

Welcome!

If your car is 70.000km the 1st step would probably be to use Diecyl +. Don't know if it's the same name in portugal but here's a link to belgian's Total website : Diecyl Plus

You could also use some engine tune. I used the P-tronic box on my '05 3 which was developing 141 Hp and 341Nm with it. Mileage increased and much more fun. I needed 1 liter less to 100km
If intersted I still have it. But at first I need to be sure it's the same engine.
