Yeah it’s not connected or got a fuse in it. Would be nice to have if I ever leave the car in a hotel car park before a track day but I’ll worry about that another time

Graham was trying to make the central locking useable with the kill switch off, ignore that part of the diagram as it needs some more modification to make it work. I cleaned that up today (not that it was crusty at all) as i had that issue on my silver one.

All uch functions work (that I still have) so I don’t think it’s a uch problem. But I shall update this thread if I find anything!

My worry at the moment is something got spiked, but my multimeter is at work so can’t check anything properly. I’ve replaced the kill switch this morning as I had a new one in the garage. More investigation required 😊

Currently like this. @GrahamS wired it in when he built the car.

So unfortunately my 172 Turbo died yesterday and at present I’m stumped as to why it won’t restart. I’ll start with the story that got me to this point! So yesterday I took the car to the Sunday scramble, drove there in the morning no issues at all. When I got there I turned off the car then...

I’ve never used engine dynamics for work on a car, but have bought lots of parts. Always helpful and when he didn’t have supertec exhaust valves in stock after ordering, instead of refunding he offered me the next level up valves which were £90 more, but offered we went halves so I only paid £45.

Thanks, really glad to have been able to buy it! I intend to get to snet at some point this year!

I’m based 10 miles out of Oxford, but like Daniel my local track is castle Combe having driven there many times over the years. Obviously this Clio is new to me for ‘22 but I’m looking forward to getting out in it! Looking like my first one will be Donington in February. Favourite track is...

I certainly will drive it hard, and I do think NUP needs to go to the ring this year. Thank you again.

hola, hay unos 172 turbos aquí, espero que encuentres la información que necesitas. Google translate is good lol

Not as yet, I did swap the vvt solenoid and that made no difference so I really think it is the Dephaser. Planning to get one on it in January before giving it back to the old man.

So this project is nearing its end and in another twist it’ll be going back to my dad. I bought @GrahamS 172 cup turbo off him which is everything I wanted this car to be so it made sense. It also means my 172 track car will be up for sale so at the end of this I will only have 1 beast of a Clio!

GKN 640mm from euros, that’s what I fitted

My GTI

🤣🤣 if that’s what the people want then I’m happy to oblige. I do need to take some pics first of it though!

Got a bore scope down to check and no contact at all. When the car is stone cold it’s absolutely fine it only starts to rattle when fully up to temp. Im going to swap the vvt solenoid over to see if that changes anything, and if not I’ve got a good used Dephaser I can swap over too. If that...

Cheers will have a read! Thank you.

Was this issue ever resolved? My 182 turbo is making the exact same noise in the same conditions. Never when it’s cold, only when up to temp. I know the timing is spot as I spent a while getting it right. After reading this I will do a manual oil pressure check to make sure it’s not dropping...

So in the latest episode of what’s broken on the 182 turbo I have a noise. To me it sounds like the Dephaser but it’s the not the normal Dephaser noise, this only happens when warm. Again I think this Dephaser was an ‘eBay special’ so could well be junk. I’ve attached a video to see what the...

I’ve just fitted wossner exhaust valves in my 182 as supertec were not available no adverse effects so far.

So it’s been a while and you have may have seen this old bucket in the for sale section. Since the last update a lot has happened but equally not a lot has happened. I had a week off in April this year and got the engine in and running but it never ran well. From initial start up it had a slight...

Got EPAS on both of mine and as other people have said, it hasn’t got the feel of HPAS but the peace of mind and extra space in the engine bay makes up for it for me.

@covid_clios for the clios and @ocracing48 for personal

I need some value opinions of my 172 If possible. I’ve really wanted an E46 M3 for a while now and If I’m to make that happen I’ll need to move the Clio on. Spec below; Clio 172 track car Engine stripped checked and built with new gaskets belt water pump etc in April 2020 and group n timing...

What value would people put on my car? I’m thinking about moving it on as after 10 years of playing with Clios i think I’m done.... Clio 172 track car Engine stripped checked and built with new gaskets belt etc 2020 and group n timing. Mapped EFI tuning making 184.9bhp 170lbft torque. Ktec...

I know literally!! Even his mrs’s ‘small’ shop is more than I’d ever need! Fair play to him though

A bit late but I’ve just discovered Adam LZ, the compound he’s just got is insane

The mounting points are also different between the 2.

Love this car @Daniel I’ll definitely have to do a day at combe when you’re there
