To be honest this is probably not the best place to ask, I'm not aware of anyone on here who has a 1.6.________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Probably pug306.net, they cover all the other models of 306 which aren't either a '6 or a Rallye  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

lol i chose this site purely because with you all having the 6 or rallye i thought you would all be more technically minded and also i was hoping to find a 6 for sale on the cheap on here lol but again thanks for actually replying i was starting to wander lol |

Ah, now if you wanted a '6 I'm sure someone could help you out there  There are some pretty technical people on here (myself alas not included) but if I understand correctly what you really need is someone who knows the engine backwards who can just say "big pipe goes there, that wire goes there". That'll be different on every model, so you're probably best off asking someone with experience rather than skill ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Just Google "306 forum", there are a few that should be able to help if no-one replies on here.________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
