Going by that, replace the pre-cat lambda or question the catalyst itself (doubtful though), the post cat lambda wouldn't cause your car to fail any MOT as it really does very little. Did they get the engine really hot before testing? Or was it sat around for ages before they did the emissions...

Can you not just re-fit the atmospheric valve for the time being?

I've got a Momo 280mm fitted to mine... It's great! I'd recommend a 300, gives the right balance of a smaller wheel and the ability to steer quickly that the larger wheels don't give you, which is more handy on track than when using it as a daily really, but I'd personally not go larger than...

I'm not all that clued up on modern turbo setups to be honest, but grew up with the old RS Turbo's, R5 GTT's etc... Chances are yes, there will be a sensor that is detecting that too much excess air is in the system I expect, and will cause the ECU to cut the boost off to a safe level, which is...

You need the valve fitted at least until you get an original to replace it! Running without can cause excess boost pressure and if continually run can cause long term issues. So re-fit the valve ASAP. You able to post a picture of the valve you have? As I'm guessing its a "dump valve" that...

No worries, if anyone does need any help just give me a shout and I'll be happy to organise something and maybe get a few other groups involved from facebook from nearby areas.

After buying the ticket online what happens now as it didn't ask for my car details etc... just checking

I have about 15-20 guys and girls who attend local meets down my way, could get them to come along too

Photos (and car) looking good bud :smile: Yeah get some 2118's and join the dark side lol

Sounds good to me bud I'll message you on fb nearer the time.

They look like the plumbing for the acoustic valve, and possibly a fog light too, in which case you don't need them.

Thanks Chris. Yep down in Cattedown as town was too busy Not as glad as I am it's still behaving lol

How'd you mean?

Can recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport's to give you another option... Great on mine in the wet, the dry and when driving it hard. :smile:

Yeah that's blocked up :) I have since actually solved the problem. Turned out it was the throttle body itself. Fitted a used genuine Renault one from a friend's spare engine and it's transformed. No more cold start problems, no more idle issues and it's great when cold and warm now rather than...

Great work, and great photos :smile: Top example of how an RB should look!

That's fine just wondered :smile: Anyone else travelling up from Devon/ Cornwall area?

Is there a facebook event for this (for us lot going)? And is the plan to meet up before hand then head in? :)

Done :) 1. TimR26 2. Gorms 3. Christopher. 4. Pete. 5. Jcs 6.Optical 7. Paul172sport ... but as not in Clio bump me off if list is full of Clios 8.green 9. James H 10. Pink-182 11. Alistair14 12. Walkerstar 13.joshpug1 14. KitsonRis 15. oVerboost

Yeah... Plugs, leads, injectors and also check the throttle body itself. Probably nothing major, but a bad map file could also cause a misfire but doubtful. Hope you manage to sort it....

I blame the German part! (172 throttle bodies are made in Germany).

I have a obd scanner, no fault codes stored. And I wanted to replace the sensors and parts anyway to future proof the car, for peace of mind. Live data showed the lambda wasn't reading within its limits, so replaced that, and also that the CTS was reading too warm from initial start up too...

Was my Paypal will sort it tomorrow :)

Cheers bud. Anyone else got any thoughts?

Another thing I've noticed is that the ECU does not have it's metal case, nor does it have the bracket that runs from the case down to the front slam panel. Anyone know what this bracket is for? Is it an earth? Or is the ECU earthed in a more direct way?

Just tried to buy a ticket but it's not working at the moment for some reason, will try later :)

Wondering if anyone can help... I have a Clio 172 phase2, however I am struggling to get to the bottom of a recent problem. When the car is cold, it struggles to idle and the revs bounce up and down and if you use the throttle then back off the revs drop down and 9 times out of 10 it will cut...

Okay that didn't seem to make a big difference, although it definitely works better than the non genuine part. One thing I have noticed though, is the vacuum pipe from the inlet down to the acoustic valve under the passenger headlight has been cut and blocked. With it un-plugged, the idle etc...

Okay removed my non-genuine CTS from euro (haas) and have now fitted a genuine Renault one. Letting it cool down before I test how it performs during cold start. Lambda sensor is also being replaced tomorrow for a Bosch one, as live data readings are as low as .70 changing to .510 and .730 when...
