thanks,

Well, its pretty much the same thing than riding in petrol.

In LPG ill maybe have a little bit more power on lower revs.

That's a good point.

I just found out under the back of the battery some wires connection in very bad condition, completely full of corrosion because of the liquid that comes out from the battery.

Maybe that's the problem. I'm going to fix that by replacing that plug and see how the car will work.

Thanks for the replys.

The ignition module was replaced 3 years ago for a brand new one.

Is it possible to be broken?

Engine fails

Hi! I have a problem with the engine of my BX. When i accelerate the engine fails and shakes a lot, but only when in acceleration and when is hot. Power fails.

Yes, the right turn is a bit less, but for the past year I've had maybe 3 moments where I had to put it back in reverse to make a very narrow turn. About the clutch levers, just fit the one thats in the old 5-speeder into the 6 speeder and no problems there anymore. Also You'll need to replace one ...

My old box used to jump out of fifth gear. I replaced the synchro with one from another box and it works fine now. You wouldn't even need to remove the engine for that job although it has a strange size nut (and socket). Thats the problem with mine. The fifth gear fails because this part is damaged...
