UPDATE
So I replaced both the stepper motors and a thd wiring and hey presto, I have.....most of it but not all 😕
- Fan control WORKS
- Blower position WORKS
- Hot/Cold mixer stepper motor NOT working 😣
The plastic ring was repaired, its the stepper motor not activating.
Any ideas?
And...
Ho All, hoping someone can help with this.
So I fixed the hot/cold control that had the standard crack in it, and prior to this, the fan was fine. Only issue was getting stuck on hot or cold.
Unplugged both servo motors, removed and zip tied the cracked hot/cold control ring. Promptly bolted...
So, I've not yet got my retro fitted cruise control to work.
All the bits are now there and fitted, including clutch and brake switch and it recognises CC on the dash but still won't allow me to set a speed for cruise control.
Any ideas!?
No, not touch that, but appreciate the heads up.on that.
I've checked every fuse and they're all good.
The heat stepper motor isn't doing anything now and the motor that sets the position of the blower is acting weirdly but not moving if you press another position button.
This has really got...
Unfortunately it's not that. It was all working fine before.
All I've done is remove the stepper motors, fixed the broken plastic, and reconnected it all back up. Now....Nada!
I've stripped it all back last night and can't see anything wrong anywhere, except that perhaps the new resistor pack...
Hi All,
Hope someone can shed some light on my current heater fan woes!
So my fan was stuck on hot, but everything else worked fine, so I knew it was split plastic in by the motor. Easy enough fix if a bit awkward.
So I removed the motors, fixed the split ring and reassembled through had a...
Also my actuator mount allows for a bit more wiggle room, but you'd need an actuator arm to match.
The pic above is the first actuator I tried which wasn't great, so I went to a 5psi Garrett
Potentially, but I'm unsure how good the metalwork is on the rest of the cat.
There's no holes and it passed the last mot it was fitted for but was leaking ballet from the flange
My mk2 172 is due MOT in December and I need to replace the KTec sports cat that failed abysmally last year.
Question: Has anyone fitted a non type approved catalytic converter and if so, do they pass emissions ok?
I have the original cat still but the flange that connects to the centre...
There no obvious oil on the shock, but it compresses fairly easily and makes quite a louder sucking noise when you compress it.
Also there's a light polish/wear mark on the drive shaft where its been rubbing on the small arch it goes through.
Thought it may have been the gearbox but it's not...
As above really.
One of my front shocks (cup spec) on my 172 I'm certain is buggered.
Can I replace just the broken one or is this best done as a pair?
Cheers! 😁
Yes, I got the RTS from KAM. RwLly good so far, though a bit jittery on initial gental clutch release, but otherwise dealing with all abuse thrown at it
You're right. The oil is somewhat more sparkly than it should be.
The question is, is it repairable and if it is, is it more cost effective to repair or buy a reasonable used box? 🤔
I'll be getting under it as soon as it stops chucking it down lol.
Will drop the oil, as you say.
It's making that noise whilst rolling, either in gear, out of gear or with the clutch in.
When I engage 5th, it crunches in and gets very judder (almost feels like it's jamming against something...
Thanks for the quick answers!
I think the box is toast tbh. I've had to limp home 15 miles or so and its making some truly frightening noises, especially in 5th when it grinds and judder. I very quickly went back to 4th and nursed it home.
I took a quick video, it's a bit quite but you csn...
So my gearbox is now making fighting noises, and has clearly had enough of being abused by the turbo.
Other than another 129 gearbox, what other replacement options are there?
I seem to recall some boosted clios' with gearboxes from DCi clios? but I think they were running more power than...
I think that's the bit I'm missing. I did bridge the contacts on the clutch connector but still nothing.
I ordered the clutch switch but turns out its not the same as the 182 and is simply another brake pedal switch.
I'll get one ordered and take it from there.
If you see a load of CC bits up...
Si, I've retro fitted cruise control to my 02 plate Clio 172.....except I can't get it to activate.
Everything has been changed out for CC parts, the only thing which I've not added is the switch that would sit above the clutch pedal.
From the reading I've done, I don't believe this should...
