Will any 172 / 182 PAS pump fit my phase 1 ?

Fluid is fine. Is the pump a big job ? I can do aux belts quite easily so just a matter of switching the pump ?

Can any of you clio geniuses please identify the noise my Phase 1 is making. ? It had an aux belt kit about a year ago and i have changed the aux belt again today. Car runs perfectly apart from this noise at parking speeds when the steering is loaded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiaBkSv-drM

I want that 17TS......

sure someone told me that on occasion it has been known for the nut to spin inside the chassis when unbolting the frame form the chassis. simple clips retain the nut and that can break \ spin ? maybe i dreamt it ???

i do believe a cup is quite a bit less work due to the lack of aircon and auto tensioner arrangement. i have been quoted by a specialist £450 for my phase 1 which is aircon and requires the tensioner kit etc.

Everyone knows the sunflowers are the most exclusive, the quickest and worth the most ! ( baiting :) )

My Sunflower has 122K on it. I bought it at 85K (one owner, not abused ) and it still pulls the same now. As said before its the other bits. Even then worst i had was a clutch release bearing go at 110K. The clutch itself i changed but it still had plenty left on the old one.

During a period of high stress i decided to have a go at removing the aux belt from my phase 1 172. Got it off and back on again but find myself with a M8 x 85mm shoulder bolt left over and i cant remember for the life of me where it came from. Sounds ridiculous i know but have had to deal with...

maybe he didnt put any oil in it. the weight saving would see a gain of atleast a second a lap ;)

Is it ok to run a 172 for a minute or 2 with no aux belt connected ? Need to get it onto a trailer .

what is the purpose of this sensor ? I have disconnected it from the loom and cant identify a difference in running. Should it make a difference ?

i assume the switch should sense the extra load and raises the engine speed accordingly ? what should be the minimum engine speed on idle when under load ?

Have a phase 1 172 on 120K. When using full lock there is an odd noise coming from the engine bay. I have had a closer look and at first thought it was the power steering pump. As the revs drop with the load on the pas pump it worsens. Sounds like it is coming from the top of the engine...

Be sure you mount it out of the air stream. Dont expect it to last long. Mine just fell apart inside. But very loud and a good sound.
