Hi guys and gals :wave: I seen it mentioned several times before on other threads, but I would really apprentice some more advice on the infamous Ecotek valve please. In particular in relation to fitting it in a MK2 Punto Sporting!
I bought an Ecotek valve a while ago for my last car but never got round to fitting it. But since I have some free time this weekend I plan to install it in my MK2, 2000 X Reg, 1.2 16v Punto Sporting. I’m fairly sure that I’ve correctly identified the brake servo pipe (will post pictures shortly to confirm with you all before I start cutting! ) but I’m a little concerned with some of the comments about it being fitted to the 1.2 8-valve engines. I've seen it mentioned elsewhere on this forum that the brake servo pipe only feeds the No.4 cylinder on the 1.2 8-valve engine, leading the 4th cylinder to run lean when the valve is installed. Does any one know if this is the case for the 1.2 16v also? And has anyone installed it in a MK2 1.2 Punto Sporting and what were the results?
Cheers for any help!
