press on your roof outside next to the sunroof frame check all way round see if a small gap opens probably the sponge seal failed and req's the roof removing to fit new seal

have you pulled a plug lead check for spark? they dont like low battery power as relays drop out and shut ecu down on cranking? if no spark is the fuel pump starting up when cranking??? pos crank sensor??

my megane rally car is running a 182 x cup race engine (they are prety standard) so it has a random steel crank (but i want a 197 crank) steel wods 83.5mm wosner hi comp pistons just going back together with a cometic mls steel gasket and a set of 197 cat cams (rally speck without the vvt) did...

tried on a 197 yesterday if the keys are on the windscreen out side on the wiper sometimes it will start also if you deadlock the car then put the card in the slot and press start it undoes the dead locks

if the car deadlocked there is a problem 1) can you park the car less than 1.5 mtr from the key inside the house???? either the loick button on the key is acting up or the hands free locking button on either a door or boot are acting up or the drivers door lock interior lamp switch has...

why don't you just use the wiring and plugs you had??? electrovanne solinoid ???? what where is it

1) quite comon for the egr valves to fail internally if you have a clip laptop pluged in you would see the sensor supply voltage disappear when the egr plug is connected(internal short )that in turn stops the ecu seeing the fuel pressure so non start 2) for loss of power over 2k rpm check the...

Has anyone seen this??? http://www.uphillracers.com/showthread.php/subareno-cliopreza-rs172-wrx-type-5647p18.html i almost did something similar with my 172/182 rally car last year when it was stripped i measured it up and found the lump would fit between clio chasis but not long enough for a...

plastic cover should be 4 t30 bolts ?

you are correct but 2 holes 1 is fuel in the other is vapour out and they may not be allowed to use a funnel & jerry can like us mere clubmen rallyists their systems may have to stay sealed while filling

check the abs rings for cracks? what is in the multiplex page that page is ok the next page lets you scroll systems to check

you could suffer fuel tank pressurizing if the purge canister is not connected as when you are cruzing the engine ecu pulses the purge canister and looks at the up stream lambda value to see if there is any pressure/vapour in the tank if it sees no change it will not try to purge the tank ...

all of the above have fun and take a spare key we all know clio keys fail when you could do without it!!!

Re: CAMBELT SERVICE, CORRECT TOOLS BUT CAMS KEEP OUT OF TIME BY VALVE SPRINGS FORCE!! from the factory these engines are mildly out of time!! the setting plate almost never goes in easily but i NEVER undo the exhaust as it is a pain and more chance of damaging the pulley tightening or...

Re: CAMBELT SERVICE, CORRECT TOOLS BUT CAMS KEEP OUT OF TIME BY VALVE SPRINGS FORCE!! the genuine tool does have a tiny amount of slop in the cam ends buy neglagable in the grand scheme you only need the crank pulley slightly loose and the dephaser to fit the belt and tension it if the crank...
