That’s how mine broke - allegedly. I took it in to Kris at Rensport who put it on Clip and he wasn’t able to set it up. The only thing I did was switch a steering wheel over 🤷🏻♂️
Bought 2 more after that, 1 of which was a duff, the other worked. The -81922.75° that the iCarsoft threw up was...
Cool. I've pretty much been able to keep 3 Clio 182's out of the garages using it. Not as good as Clip of course, but it's pretty good at most things.
Let us know how you get on.
You basically set the angle sensor yourself by lining the Yellow dot up, and then iCarsoft calibrates it.
It has a specific module for setting up the sensor. 2 minute job.
They can be reset yes, but if you see that -8xxxxxx code coming up, then the sensor is knackered. I cover this in my...
You can set it using a decent diagnostic tool like the one from iCarsoft.
See my thread here which explains how to do it. https://cliosport.net/threads/clio-182-track-car-daily-projects.830168/page-2#post-11849892
The diagnostic tool pretty much tells you what you need to do.
Definitely a good investment buying new. I scoured the universe for a good second hand one for my old BG and the clip broke off putting it on 🙈 I paid £30 as well. 😭 Now whip the engine out and get into all the nooks and crannies 😂
I assume you've played around with the controller? Occasionally mine would switch off and the steering would go stiff. Funnily enough, the first time it happened was at the top of coppice, just turning into Charlies 🤯
I found the vibration was moving the controller switch just enough to switch...
Are you sure it’s not wheel bearings? I never noticed mine at high speeds, but as I approached roundabouts it became more obvious. I had little to no play in mine but they we’re just rusty and dry.
Plus I’d do them as a matter of course, especially as you’re going to track it.
My own personal view would be yes, provided it was in a top notch condition. History is always important on any car, but by how much is anybody’s guess. As it stands it looks like a tired old RB.
You won't get a brand new genuine one but Shaftec supply refurbished genuine ones. I'd highly recommend one of those.
More money than the J&R but they're essentially a refurbished genuine part. You want R396R (OSF - Drivers) replaces 8200352042 and R396L (NSF - Passenger) replaces 8200372167.
I did mine at Christmas but was unaware the unit pulls apart and the buttons are easily transferred. Thank you to @SharpyClio for the tip.
So I bought a second-hand unit, not sure if it worked or not, and just switched everything over. Now I've got 1 really nice unit out of 2.
My old BG 182 did this for a year. Started fine, then parked it up and then wouldn’t start. Did 3,000 trouble free miles, then one cold winters evening coming out of work, wouldn’t crank. Changed TDC, starter motor, switched UCH, ECU, got an auto electrician out to remove the immobiliser part of...
Where’s it up for sale at? There’s some history of it here https://www.renaultsportclub.co.uk/forum/general-forums/car-blogs/98033-clio-182-liquid-yellow
A trip down to Matlock yesterday to pick up a genuine unopened front splitter from @Coops Mk1
Had to remortgage the house 😂 but needs must. Cheers fella and lovely to meet you.
To be honest that rust on the back arch needs some serious TLC and it’s likely to be in other places as well. With that mileage, I can’t see anybody wanting to spend that sort of money, to then go through the pain of restoring that. The colour is a big plus.
If I was buying it I’d be turning it...
