Lol i think so to, there 10bhp what they say it makes i think is rather optimistic

I had mine om the rollers at rs tuning not long ago and my cup ran 162bhp and thats with jms induction setup and matched inlets, mind you that day it was very hot and humid so probs lost some bhp there

What are the symtoms of your cam timing issue mate? idling problems e.t.c

Listen to the man :D

Sreriously torque them up, ask any tuner on here and i bet they say the same, forget what people say on torquing them up is a load of crap cos its not, they do!

I bought a preset torque wrench from ebay for spark plugs, only 15quid, come in 2 preset torque settings, 18nm and 24nm, i got the 24nm one

Congrats :D

They defo need torquing or you run the risk of the spark plugs blowing out, alot of people go for hand tight then a little turn, imo thats no where near the correct torque needed, i used a torque wrench for mine and when fully torqued it was a hell of alot more than finger tight, but in the end...

I changed my plugs a few weeks ago and didnt use any copper grease, remember to torque them up though to the correct setting

Valuable lesson learnt mate ;)

Think you may need setting on fire if you jet washed your engine with no fuse cover :D

Agreed, i never even knew you could jet wash an engine, water + electrics dont go well

Yeah if the plenum is not put on correctly it can cause the revs to rise constantly way above 4000rpm, it sounds like there is some moisture in a connection somewhere, wont be the plenum as it was happening before you took if off, would recommend leaving it for a while until everything dries out

Id defo wait a bit, the other thing it could be is you havent put the plenum on correctly and its not got a proper seal on the lower inlet which means air leak, this causes a rise in rpm

You seem to know alot about clios you got some experience in them ;) lol

Try drying all the connections if they have water in, or maybe wait a bit and it should dry out by itself, then give you car a start and see what happens

Sounds like you may have damaged something with the water, you havent taken the plenum off recently have you?

Just what i was thinking lol

I thought 7250rpm was the standard limiter? if its remapped it will rev into the redline, mine its remapped and the limiter is raised to 7500rpm

Thats quite expensice, renault specialists on here i think charge around the £400 mark and thats cars with aircon

Ill give it a try :D

How the hell does this come free? ive took out the countersunk bolt, its very wobbly but it wont come off :mad: what am i doing wrong?

I think space is the issue as there is very little of it, but im sure if you ask a renault specialist on here they will tell you alot more about it, as for genuine renault tools to change the cambelt i think there about £80 for all 3 of them

Yeah you need genuine renault locking tools to do the job, and its not a straight forward job, even worse if you car has aircon as space is more limited

Thanks for clearing that up :D

Yeah 25nm is right, just wondered if the other 1nm would make any difference

Hi guys, Read a few post and is it correct the spark plugs on the 172 should be torqued to 25nm? im looking at a spark plug preset wrench on ebay which has a set torque of 24nm, will the 1nm make any difference? Cheers Dean

Yeah my cup used to sit high at the front, annoyed me to it looked very odd, so decided to get some eibachi prolines, sits nice and even now :D

Sent you a pm mate
