boys and girls that was it Although I accessed the flap by removing the scuttle panel- it is located near the fan but further back, but easy to reach by hand. Mine was almost closed and thus blocked to the recirc position. I started the car, turned on the climate and pressed the recirc button...

Exactly- this is why it confuses me- as it looks like the AC system should take care of the issue but it doesn't. But I'm about to dive into it these days and will come back with the results

But even if something in the AC is system is at fault, it still does not explain why I leave the car perfectly dry and the next day I find the windscreen completely frozen on the inside- so theoretically there has to be some stagnant humidity inside the car somewhere. I'm confused to say the least

there is one more thing I found out about recently but never heard of the clio comunity discuss about: it's something that's called AC dryer filter or some sort- it looks like a tiny bulb on the AC piping under the hood. Some guy said he replaced that filter on his bmw and it cured the problem...

the boot is bone dry, so not there. The AC works at every temparature, I have the car for 20 years now, has seen -20 celsius and worked fine in the past

Hi, same issue one year later. Only this time it's even worse- I found the inside of the windscreen completely frozen. The AC works but even after 30 mins of driving the windows are barely de-fogged. Pollen filter is ok. Driver's carpet (it's an LHD car) is only slightly moist, not sure yet if...

No answer?

standard timing yes. I have a lumpy idle and I suspect it runs a litle rich so thought to check the timing too beside the rest. Well it always had a lumpy idle but now it's kinda lumpier than before

Hi, So I want to do a timing check on my 182, as far as I know the procedure is like this: remove camshaft end caps to expose the grooves Rotate the crank until the pin slots in the correct hole on the crank and see if the horseshoe tool slots in the cams with ease. The thing is my 182 had an...

I can get one these days yeah

I wonder how many members are still active from the begining. I'm here since 2008 (not that old)

Mine were refurbed 2 years ago and at the begining it was fine, now the outer disc edge started to rust again, like there's no contact with the pad there. It's so annoying. I have a theory on thist though: the car sits outside so moisture creeps on that area, slightly eats the metallic compound...

So, the solution? 10 yrs mega bump lol

I have the Brembo calipers upgrade and they are miles better cooling wise than standard units

Hi there, I just opened one of my headlights the other day due to one of the supports being snapped and boy it was probably the most difficult thing I ever did on the car. The factory glue that holds the unit together is almost heat resistant but anyway.. I managed to repair the damage, put it...
