Problem solved, it seems my rs tuner cable is hit and miss. Odd because all the lights lit up on it and usually if it's a disconnect the program will tell you

Pulled the fuses they were OK, tested pin16 again and I've 12v off , 12v ign on and I've 14v with engine running. So now I have power and still the RS tuner will not connect.

disconnected battery for 15min... still not working. Ive no 12v at pin 16 either when ign off or on. So I have a power issue, does the OBD have a relay or a fuse ?

Hi My OBD port is not working. Im using RS tuner and have isolated it to the car side unfortunatly. Ive tried ign on, with the car running any combination and im getting no luck so I presume the power is gone to it. Is there a fuse or relay or something? I connected it last week and it worked.

Hi I'm having little electrical issueswhich I'm hoping is common and all related. My ESP and SERV lights are coming on while driving. The car still revs freely. The backlights on the main cluster and the one in the middle are very dim, I've ruled out bulbs as they only dim (to the point of not...

Took the starter out there, seems the locating dowel is in the wrong place/hole. Would this cause the problem? Starter moves free in my hand , moves out and back in freely. Bit of blackening on the earth wires insulation but the earth is good.

Yes engine is good drove it onto the drive before I took it out. Not seized either, I put it in gear and rocked the car forward. I have a starter from the other engine that's also good as long as I've had it, so I can swap that just wondering what's causing the issue because I don't want to swap...

After changing the engine and clutch I went to turn her over there just to get oil pressure before I run it. Problem is the starter is turning but the engine isn't cranking. I've gave the solenoid a tap with a hammer and no luck. Doesn't seem to be the spade connector either as when I remove...

Cheers lads threw it in the bin

Changing the clutch at the moment and trying to figure what this means? It fits onto the clutch alignment tool, but isn't solid between the clutch plate and flywheel? Does it even need to be fitted?

is that posted in every thread relating to removing a engine? was funny about a year ago.

Doing a engine swap at the minute. Have the damaged engine ready to come out. I have a donor 182 to remove a engine from. Im trying to avoid carefully disconnecting stuff as the takes all day.Where are the main disconnects so i can just pull the engine, loom and hoses all out together? I...

I may be able so get my hands on a donor 182 if the price is right, engine swap sounds like the only way, I work shift so don't have the time to be messing around. I don't have a garage either so this is all driveway job. Not ideal but I've done it before on other cars in the open.

Engine was spot on never gave any trouble, serviced every 5k. It's on 91k miles , easy miles never seen a track

Engine swap it is so. Trying to source a good one tho is the next step.

Just because you ask a question does t mean you don't have the expertise/knowledge. I don't have access to all the Renault manuals so I'm not sure how to remove the head without doing damage hence I'm asking the question. Nobody here knew how to do these things without consulting a manual or...

Project isn't really a option , need the car back on the road as its my daily and I'm using a borrowed car, I don't want to take the piss with the amount of time. What's the difference between a 172 engine and a 182 engine? Which is why I'm thinking of engine swap but I don't really want to...

hi I've had the worst thing happen. Aux belt let go taking everything with it. Damage is as follows Bent valves Timing belt Aux belt Pas pump Idlers Bottom pulley The casing around the pulley Basically have a few questions 1. how do I take the head off? I have all the genuine Renault...

I will try tomorrow, don't know if it will come through on the iPhone clearly .

Yea the rack bushes are handy when you've the tools. It tightens up the rack , doesn't fix the clicking!

I've done inner and outer arb bushes, no joy. And it's 100% not worth the hassle

Ok still nil fix on this. Changed lower wishbone, top mounts (modded spacers) , shocks, arb bushes (c**t), rack bushes. Tried spacers under the top hats. Basically tried everything bar the rack..... What is it that s***s itself in the rack? I have a inner tie rod on the shelf, could these be...

85,000 miles

Just a update, rack bushes are shot, you can actually see the wheel pull back when it's moved, looked down the back of the engine and rack is moving about 5mm

T Thanks ill check this tomorrow :)

I don't like the noise it's making, I suppose ill have to get under and check, I don't want to have a failure of the steering !

Ball joint done on drivers side, no obvious play either. Is this just something they do ? It's definatley not right ? It's doing my head in!

Yea I was thinking that too but it's the only thing left I can think of? Just wondering if anybody had similar experience? It mostly happens when turning.

Hi, I have a 2005 182 full fat, when I hit a speed bump, accelerate , decelerate , turn the wheel I get a kind of cracking noise. I've done engine mounts and new top mounts. All I'm left with is arb and steering rack bushes. I'm thinking the rack bushes could be on the way out?

The pulley tool is the one you have to be careful of you need the longer gear in the set. Genuine renault tool doesn't come with it. It's a bit of messing but it's not exactley rocket ship rigging. Main problem is access. The rest is just making sure everything is in the right place before you...
