My 172 Cup 2003 has had limp mode probs for nearly a year now. Initially had the throttle position error (checked by renault equipment) so replaced the unit but hasn't worked. It'll go for months with no problems and then (just like lunchtime today!) it'll go into limp mode twice or more in a...

Just about to put my refurbished Turinis back on a 172 Cup. What size bolts do I need? Any recommendations on where to get them?

Had to drive down some lanes that were flooded on Thursday night and when I parked up I could hear a lot of water sloshing backwards and forwards on the left hand side of the car. Got in it today and its still sloshing about. I think its in the front wing. Does that sound feasible? Anywhere...

OK, no worries. Just been out to the car and it didn't do it on a 20 minute drive. Only got the engine management light on at the min. It always resets itself and the limp mode light goes out every time I turn off and on again. Hmm...

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a go tomorrow. Shall I just use WD40 on the connections?

My 172 Cup (2003 / 63k) has been going into limp mode for the last few weeks. It happens sporadically and clears when you turn engine off then on again. Sometimes it will do it twice in a row, but then it may go for 3-4 days with no issues. Sometimes the engine management light comes on, will...

I'm in Rochester.

Hi, I'm Nick! Just got my first RS Clio and went for a 62k 2003 172 Cup. Done some subtle mods so far and having fun in it. Not loving the electrical gremlins (currently a throttle pedal issue keeps putting it into limp mode), but thats they way they were built apparently! I work for MSV...
