Ok thanks, only time I've used hunter wheel alignment was on my evo where everything was adjustable so that makes sense being greyed out, I just thought it would show if it was still within the manufacturer specs Does anyone know what the castor is meant to be? So I know what sides out? Drives...

So got my clio wheel alignment set up after hitting a pot hole the other day! I was never completely happy with the alignment anyway, but after the pot hole which gave me a flat tyre I decided to get it checked. It handles alot better now, but ive got 1 degree of difference between caster? Is...

At least it solved something though, car runs alot better, just not perfect yet. 1 other thing I've noticed is when using mobile app torque (not expecting this to be reliable) with the car off it's showing 220 rpm on the graph, could this be anything or just the app? With the car running it...

I went for trying map sensor first, I unplugged it and car ran better, didn't stall, and revs were alot more stable but it idled about 1100 unplugged, so fitted a new geniune Renault one, car pulls so much better than it did before, it's not hesitating, and hasn't stalled yet, but revs are still...

It's always had a lumpy idle, more than my last 172, but the cutting out had been more recently, and when the car is cold it's very hesitant for a few mins. Timing belt is one of the things I thought off, but as it's got worse I thought maybe it's not Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

The lambda was changed due to being showing a fault code, and swapped them at time to see if it made a difference, but none Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I was hoping if it was a sensor it would show a fault, and didn't want to go down trial and error route to find out what one is faulty since its not giving a fault code, so got told an air leak can cause these issues, it only stalls if you dip clutch quickly and revs drop low at same time, but...

Hi all my car idles badly and intermittently cuts out when stopping, there's no fault codes showing, so got no clues there. It's had new plugs and post cat lambda in last 6 month's as they were faulty but didn't cure the cutting out issue. I've seen people say check for air leaks, what's the...

Could be coil pack, I'll maybe try one of them, don't want to throw parts at it unless I know or have a good chance of it being one, is there any way to test coil pack? Or is it just change and see if it works? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

For injector would it not be rough all through the range or misfire? Would it just be a case of checking resistance on each injector? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Hi all another rough idle thread... but this is my 2nd 172 and is alot worse than my last one. If I start car cold it idles fine while the ecu keeps the revs above 1k, as soon as the revs drop below 1k as the car settles it idles like it's aggressively cammed, and whole car shakes, when I pull...

Hi all just getting my car ready for mot and noticed that the load compensating valve has a spring on it attached to the axle, I thought on cups these were fitted but not used? Previous mot shows fails for rear brake efficiency so wonder has someone fitted one to make it pass? Should I leave in...

What's symptoms of them? The track rod ends don't seem to have much play, but with both wheels in air if grabbing wheel at quater to 3 I can move the wheel slightly, but I thought this was just movement on the rack between the steering lock Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Na completely standard, it's worst if you hit a join in the road or white lines, it will pull harshly to one side. Gonna do ball joint before aligning it, then go from there, plan on lowering it after that with new top mounts, then hopefully it will handle like my last one Sent from my SM-G950F...

It's not snapped springs, and it doesn't seem to bounce about after a bump when a shock goes, rack bushes didn't move about either, top mounts could be though but was gonna do them when I lower it anyway Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Did that and there was none, only bit I can find with movement is ball joint when I put a pry bar in it Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

The track rod ends don't seem to have any movement when I tried moving them up and down with a bar, but might do them at same time before I get it aligned, can't remember tyre size but there 16's Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Managed to get under the car and got a driver's ball joint with slight play, and gonna do outer arb bushes, then get tracking done and see how it is after that Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Yeah it's impossible to guess over internet, just wondering if any common issues, and what cup parts are different and if there available from normal euro car parts Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

It doesn't seem to be bouncing about when you hit a bump or anything so I can't tell, but my last 172 when rear shocks went it drove horrible, but over a bump the back end bounced about Based in Inverness Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Tyres are pretty new so not them, but I've checked pressures to make sure they weren't out but they were fine Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Hi all just bought a 172 cup, and the handling is all over the place. It's standard and will need tracking set up aswell but it's got weird issues. Over rough roads, there's a knock but not so much over big pot holes, so thinking arb bushes? But the main issue is when cornering left it seems...

Thanks [emoji106]Stripped the evo bit by bit every winter underneath to refurb it, last year did the back end, just now engines out tidying up bay, and hopefully that will be it done I'll look into h&r's [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I had h&r's on a golf gti I had and hated them to harsh, was shocks and springs. How stiff are they on clio? Last clio and Astra gsi had eibach springs and they were much more forgiving on normal roads Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Yeah was the one in Aberdeen, does need some work and tidying but I'm happy with it Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Hi all, decided to join back up again as I've just bought myself a 172 cup as a daily driver after being sensible and having a Passat 4motion for a while. Got the car reasonably local, 172 cup with 76k and standard needs some work but low miles and pretty good condition -It's got an eml...

Hi all, just got myself a 172 cup and a friend's upgrading his evo 5 seats so offering me them for a ok price, no subframes though, what all will I need, I know you can get recaro subframes, is there any other subframe options, I've seen some people running ones made by someone on the forum, are...

I did have, since I've cleared it it didn't return but I'm not using the car so will have a look about today and see if I can get it to come on Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Will have a think about it see if I can get any local first cheers Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

The plugs came out in order so the left one is the timing belt side, and the last one is closest gearbox, so I thought it was plug 2, but have I got it wrong way round, is it plug 3 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
