Something to add.
I didn't feel it before but now I have the powerflex mount I can.
The engine has a noticeable rumble between 1k and 3k. It's slight but it's there. Feels like a gurgle?
Could this be a sign of an issue? And if so what should I check? God this car is taxing my patience...
I Wanted to try and remove it using Nail varnish remover first, its safe on paint as i tested it on my spare bumper.
The Glue became soft and when I removed it the paint under it came off with it....
Nothing i could have done, I was also forced to use 1200 Wet and dry after to finish it up...
So.
must have been on there years.
Once it got soft it just pulled the paint off. All the way down to metal.
so now I have the letters sport in metal... great. Fantastic.
Good thing is that I'm actually going to wrap the boot anyway so I will do this tomorrow. Much earlier than...
Did a quick search.
Need some acetone.... but why on earth is it so hard to find? B&Q nope, wicks nope, halfords nope, argh.
Got some white spirit and some odd adhesive gel to try
Yo
I had the new badge arrive so started removing the old ones.
One of the previous owners has used SUPER GLUE to stick the sport badge on....
does anyone have any idea how to remove this glue and not harm the clear coat?
Help please!!
Well.
Drove around a lot today. Car feels different from yesterday.
not sure what srs did lol.
much more snappy.. va va vrooooooom
in regards to fuel still testing.
would it help at all if I was to do the 10 mile @ 65 mph with the rs tuner logging stuff? If so what parameters should I log? :)
Done around 180 miles in it since fitted. Been all over the place.
Vibrations have died down apart from when idle. Makes inside the doors rattle. Lol
hopefully it will get better
Would you say he is as good as the specialists whe have on here? He checked timing and said it was spot on and I. Want to be 100% sure. If he is known to be good then I won't take it elsewhere to be checked again.
My gearbox does whine so may have a hand in it.
The garage were adamant that the timings are fine, no where close is able to test it apart from them.
There is a Renault garage in Coventrybut they want £95 just to check... No way
Mines doing the same in regards of fuel but not lumpy.
I replaced the pre cat sensor but still in Same situation.
I suggest you change it though, can be had for 30 on ebay
I am going to take them apart at end of week and see whats up. Gping to do it myself as cant afford to give money away to garages.
Understandable. So must be something else.
Would the injectors be at fault? say if one was dribbling ?
No
its 4.5*L per gallon in UK. That's what I use
if you think it's bad you should have seen what it had before I had belts and dephaser done.
Used a whole tank in under 100 miles ;)
How do I check breaks? When car is up I can turn the wheels but they are not as loose as the wife's megane are and have a metal on metal sound.
4 to 5 mate. The absolute best I managed was 28.5mpg and worst was 19.7 lol.
that's on Momentum 99.
The computer shows higher MPG such as 35 to 40.
its at the pump I work it out.
My maths is fine ;)
The lambda was replaced last month due to old one not reading correctly.
Hey
so I'm seeing at most 26 MPG no matter how grandmaish I drive.
With a heavy foot it's 22 and below.
The timings are fine as they were checked again by garage, they spot on and I agree considering how the car performs.
Does anyone know what to check next? I don't think there is...

I bought one and had it programmed for £23 at SRS in nuneaton. Works great in the car. (timpsons cut it for a fee though)
