Would I be correct in saying, due to the difference between the cable throttle system, and the 182 wireless throttle control, there is no ISCV on the 182? Or separate TPS? Just a throttle body housing with a little motor in it to operate the butterfly...?

Do a compression test. Good compression will rule out the timing or bad valve possibility. Also, get an error code for the EML light if possible. See what it says and go from there.

Any solution so far?

So, the car is now misfire free and running well. No more dephaser noise and it feels smooth to drive. I replaced injector on piston 4 and it cured the mifire completely. Was only £39 or so for a new injector at ECP, so all good. If I were to do this job again, and I probably will as I am...

I didn't even know you were rolling in a 182 tbh! Or I did, and forgot lol.

Live and learn eh. If valves are bent I'll get this here spare head I have ported and polished and pop that on and buy/borrow the renault tools.

If I were to do it again, which I probably will, I would do it differently. But I don't see the point in the pulley locking tool, the one I got didn't fit anyway. Bear in mind I had to do the dephaser as well and I had to slacken the pulleys on exhaust side to assist with tensioning the top side...

Update: Timing was out by a little. It must have slipped or something when I was tightening stuff, and the tool bent. So, I reset the timing. It is still flashing emissions light so I fitted a new coil and crank sensor. No effect. I'd already fitted new sparks. I then ran the car (which...

It was rough yes. It started misfiring badly on the way to work and all the way home. I decided to overhaul the car as I knew the dephaser was noisy and needed doing and belt was almost 5 years old. I have used my ITB'd mental Williams as a daily car since. Huge fun tbh lol. The thing is that...

I did think this but they are marked on the HT lead and the coilpack for convenience so unlikely :) I used to use the flywheel on the F7R as a marker too but in this case I can't see it still. F7R seems to be easier to see the flywheel inspection bit. I took the airbox off completely too. I am...

I locked the crank using the pin, with the crank pulley marker pointing exactly mid way between the two ridges at one o'clock, roughly speaking.

No, but I can tomorrow. It got too late to do any more work and I was getting tired. I'm going to recheck the timing, and do a compression test as well tomorrow. But to be honest, if the valves have hit the pistons and bent I'll probably break the car for parts or just get another engine as I...

Yea.

Ok, did cambelt. Locked cams. Locked crank at TDC based on piston 1 (took a while), replaced dephaser, new belt on, tensioned up, tightened everything up, aux belt on, tensioner on (pain in ass). Hand cranked engine on crank bolt, clockwise, all fine. Also during the work I put new spark plugs...

I am going to take the tensioner off completely and pretension it and then refit. Is this the easiest method? I'll clamp the bugger first.

Yea I guess.

As per title. Could NOT get mine to lock the crank :/

Ahh ok, just to undo them. Ok tah. When I am less tired I'll have anther go. I always find things are 10x harder when yer tired. Just bought a vibratechnics upper mount to replace the one I just broke...may as well eh? :)

Ok. So the tool bending on the exhaust cam will have allowed the timing to go out. What's the point of the pulley locking tool.

Yes: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400546844728?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I think this is not the one I wanted though. The D tool locks the cams no? What else would they do? These cams have no woodruff key correct? So the timing mark on the pulley means squat surely?

So, picked up a 182 a couple of weeks ago. Very loud dephaser and after 400 miles it's misfiring badly too. So I get the tools and cambelt and depahser. Strip it down (lots to take off it seems to me? Mk1 easier) engine jacked up, check TDC, fit locking tool at the back of the cams. First...

Okee I will lol. The 888's are barely legal on two of the tyres though and one has a puncture now :(

Oooh! Nice one Coopsie :D I've got these sat about at home: The blue on silver might be fun :)

Ahh just what I needed :) Thank you!

Ok great as I have two sets of Williams alloys here with AD08's and R888's on :D

Do they come with a top hat mount or do you have to use OEM ones? http://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-clio-mk2-bilstein-b14-coilover-kit-182-cup.html All the pics I have seen show no top hat thing for these.

Cool thanks lads, this is just what I wanted to know :)

Hi mate, Wobba here.Just got a 182 myself. Standard pretty much. To compare back to back, the 182 is much better built with much better stuff etc. Very quiet compared to Willy! the 182 has a nice spread of torque and can be driven hard, though compared to my total nutter spec Willy it's tame...

I am picking up a Clio 182 this weekend as my daily car after the M5 got totalled. It is a FF Cup chassis car. I'm looking to fit some different alloys, probably 15" 2118's, but I am wondering at the tyre size options. Is it the 172's that use the 195/50's or do 182's run these normally as...

Oh, I forgot: 12.5 high compression. Straight line, the M5 beats it. On the bends though, Clio really shines, wipes the floor with heavy M5.
