Hopefully it's just bedding in. I've had EBC pads before on my E46 [think they may have been Redstuff] and they bedded in without grinding etc... but maybe YellowStuff and above are different. Fingers crossed for you.

OK. Have you done more driving ? Maybe give it 100 miles or so of urban driving with gentle braking to bed them in. If the grinding doesn't stop and/or the pad wear is still very uneven, you'll likely to have to take the caliper off and see if there's something misaligned or wedged in there ?

Glad the pedal is solid, that's a positive. With new discs and pads there should be no grinding noise at all. EBC pads won't cause grinding. I'm assuming we're talking about the fronts here ? Did you take the caliper to bits and ensure the sliders are moving smoothly ? These are notorious...

Thanks so much for that. That's an interesting one alright... I was originally thinking it might be that - as it's positioned in the firing line for all the weather etc... - but I noticed the battery cable was a tad warm the other day after I started it. I agree, it's not the battery itself...

@Brit as @Brigsy said run regular Dot4 through it until the pedal's good and then use the Motul at the end. It's a real pain the first time you do it, but I've done it a few times now and I've got it licked.

Great news. The battery was fine to be fair but it's always been lazy turning over on starting - even though the battery is brand new - so I think there may be an earthing issue [common on these 182s] and I'm going to replace the earth cable at some stage.

Yes you need to bleed each wheel in the order they tell you. It's step by step process. RS Tuner is the same.

OK... maybe they've updated it since I last checked in 2024 ?

Yes it won't work. The ABS pump bleed function is not available on anything other than the Renault dealer diag system [CLIP] or RS Tuner, the mapping software. I went and bought RS Tuner to do it. It was a complete pain as I wasted so much time to discover that.

Here's one for you now. The guy from Febi told me not to fit either of the two I have to the car and to return them to the place I bought them. He said that Renault do not make that part separately for the 172/182 and that it has to be bought as a complete wishbone set [as in the Renault Parts...

Massive thanks again here... and you've got Cup front suspension on yours ?

Thanks so much for that... they use the 12mm mounting bolts, right ?

The saga continues... I'm trying to buy the correct one of these and was speaking to somebody at Febi who told me that they don't manufacture them for the Cup suspension... and that Renault don't have a part number for the Cup versions either ??!!?? What manufacturer's parts are you guys using...

Thanks so much for that, makes sense.

Do you mean Cup and non Cup or just all 182s use the larger ones ?
