Anyone happen to know if this clio owner is on here? It is my old 182 and I want it back lol!

Any rolling road days coming up that anyone is aware of?

What is AF Citrus? I am guessing it is not a type of snow foam from your comment? Which snow foam do you use then? I have never used it before but will be starting to soon.

Ok without having done any searching, quick question. Best snow foam?

Shiney new brake discs and pads put on yesterday courtesy of the Renault dealer, feels a million times better without the juddering brakes but the bite and feel of the brakes in general is perfect now. Now to start properly enjoying it once this snow goes away :)

WTF?! 6 Weeks?!

This has made me also hate them with a passion, even though I got what I deserved from them in the end.

Amen.

Oh forgot to add, they have ordered the parts and will call me when they arrive so I can go have them fitted :)

Well, as promised, my update. I left the car with Renault again yesterday and the confirmed the front discs are warped and that they would not be covering the cost of replacement as this is a "wear" part. Being told this over the phone did not go down well and I went to collect the car and...

Well, update as promised, was at the RS Specialist dealer this morning and the mechanic I spoke to acknowledged to sound of ticking and a slight screeching/squealing sound from my "belts" area after I pointed him in the right direction. He believes that a bearing is going in a tensioner but he...

Did you check the oil/dipstick to make sure there is no coolant mixing with it? That is also a sign of a HG or cracked head etc... Is the lumpy idle always there when idling or does it go away after it idles for a moment? Also check the coolant reservoir for signs of oil. As already suggested...

Will let you know what it is once Renault have a look at it on Thursday. cheers

Hmmm, not sure actually, must check that out, what do you think about those images? Normal?

Here is a few pics of the discs just for info...The darker image is the drivers side and on it I can see a darker ring the full way round the outside of the disc about 1cm thick, you can maybe see it in the pic? The lighter image taken with a flash is the passenger side, do you reckon that is...

Well,picked the car up earlier, drivers window auto up function fixed and handbrake tightened, but by god, after having the lend of that other clio and getting back into mine it just highlights how awful my brakes are!! On top of the bit of judder at lower speeds, I have to really press down...

Cheers, Will say to them and see if they do it for me if not I guess I will give it a go myself.

No idea to be honest, the car only has 12k on it, and is just two years old, it has had the 2 years/12k service so unless it was done then I assume it hasn't been done...I had read about re bedding them so I will maybe give that a go and see if it clears them up, if not Renault will be getting...

Thanks, it was bought direct from a Renault Dealer so I will have to have a word with them about it. Cheers

I never noticed when I test drove the car to be honest, only bought it 4 weeks ago, but they are definitely warped...had a set warp on my s2000 so know it is the same feeling. The car is in this morning to get the drives window fixed and I got a 1.2 clio mk3 courtesy car and the brakes on it...

Out of curiousity, what exactly is covered by the standard 3 year warranty on a clio? I am pretty certain I have noticed that the brakes on my 200 are warped...but am assuming something like brake discs/pads wouldn't be covered under the warranty? If not, can anyone shed any light on what is...

Thanks for those, can only seem to view the first one though, doesn't seem like many people have put different wheels on the 200 yet...

Hey! Thought I would see if there are many people about with aftermarket alloys on their 200? Haven't seen many if any at all... Pics please...

Both engines? As in you had two different 200's or one of your engines blew up and you got a new one put in? lol... Did you ever have any problems with either?

Yeah, would appreciate the video of how yours sounds afterwards, the only thing is I don't have the metallic tapping sound that is obvious in your video, mine is just very ticky...

Well, just booked it in with the only RS Specialist in Northern Ireland (best option I figured) next Thursday at 11am for a diagnostic check / examination of the car. Hopefully they hear what I am hearing and acknowledge that the car should not sound the way it does. Really hope I don't get...

Great fun :( mine makes the sound whether it is stone cold or at full operating temperature. So you eventually got to the stage where they fixed it and the noise is totally gone? Any chance of posting a video of what a 200 is meant to sound like now that yours is fixed? I can take it to any...

Much better video from my camera here; https://www.dropbox.com/s/wnrmau6dcr717pr/100_8226.MOV What do you think? Also is it just me or can you hear a sort of screeching sound @ 9-11 seconds and 24-28 seconds or so? Thoughts?

The sound in the video seems a lot lounder on the computer than in real life as such, but there is a definite ticking sound...I am wondering what a 200 is meant to sound like?

Hi all, Had my clio 200 about 3 weeks now and noticed a ticking sound from the engine when idling. My friend actually commented on it when he pulled up alongside me tonight so it must be pretty obvious. I just wondered if there is actually a problem or if this is normal sounding? The car is...
