I have just purchased a ecu flasher and software to remap my clio and diagnostic software so will let you all know if this helps mine out.

I have similar problem but with idling on my 172 cup. I have changed plugs to standard and magnecor leads with still no joy. I am getting some ecu remapping software next week with all gear so gonna give that a go see if it makes a difference. Will let you all know and if it does will do some...

My 172 cup runs like a dog at idle all the time but still has all the power through the rev range. Changed plugs, put in Magnecor 8.5mm Leads changed Lambda sensor and still missfires on idle even when hot. Just gotta live with it really.lol

Hi wizard yes I do use optimax at all times. Will prob end up replacing filter with another panel one. Wanna keep completely standard so no 57i kit. Hi Penetrator, I did test drive a few cups before buying this one and yes they all felt lumpy but this does feel considerably more than the others...

yeah got a 2 year warranty. Its one of those RAc 5 star ones. I thought plugs were due every 36k on these? Will check my booklet for that mate. And Gaz head gasket was one of my biggest worries as it is a symptom of that running. Yeah could be something real small and easy. Gonna have to look at...

bought it after the service which was done by renault. Got reciepts for it Have a bosch diagnostic place near me in reading so may take it there

it was done on the renault 36 service which was 5 k ago

HI all I have a 172 cup on 52 plate which runs lumpy as hell. It is maainly up to 3k revs but most noticable on idle. There is a misfire every other second. I have changed the lambda sensor to no avail. It has recently had full service including plugs. My worries are loss of compression which is...

Just checked and fuel filter and plugs were changed 5 k ago

Hi all i got a 172 cup serviced 5 k ago and runs lumpy as hell between 1 and 3 thousand revs. Tickover is missfiring like mad. It has 41 k on it so i would presume last service was a major one?(i didnt do service as recently got it) Full Renault history. I am gonna do oil change this week coming...

Welcome too Mij And cupster whats your spec mate?

cheers all And with reference to the handling Blue4Ever....... I would say the x5 was near enough on par with the Clio believe it or not.lol Seriously the x5 was excellent and you could throw it about with ease. Most x5 owners dont use it in that way but i like to push all my motors to the...

not had time to do pics yet as working like mad and mrs using car to go to work and back. lol lucky cow whilst i got me white van.lol

I have always run on optimax since it first come out and have tried other fuels and there is a definate difference. Not taking the cup out today as think it would be a bit stupid in this weather.lol Thanks for all the hellos everyone. When I joined a x5 forum had about 2 welcomes.lol Must be all...

Just looked on site and see that ITG was a brand.lol Many thanks for that.

I done bit of research before buying this and is it true that the performance difference of the 172 and 182 is the inlet manifold? Also whats ITG?lol

Guess some things I will always compare to the x5. That was the smoothest engine ever but like ya say very very expensive.lol 80 quid ti fill the x5 and only do 400 miles tops 40 quid for the clio this morning and done 100 with just under 3/4 left so very good return and of course had to test...

Thanks for your welcomes all. Guess mine feels a little slower on low end as had 4.4 v8 x5.lol But for a car costing this little and what it gives back in driving pleasure I gotta say I am very happy.

Will take some Monday after work. Wanna keep it looking completely standard but do a few non cosmetic mods to bump performance.

Hi all jus picked up my first clio. Got a 172 cup on 52 plate with 40k. Bit small compared to my just sold bmw x5.haha Test drove a few of these before buying this one. Was a bit steep at 7k but was the cleanest one and got 2 year warranty with it. The only thing is though that I find it is a...
