Anyone has one? I´d really appreciate it. Heres what's happening:
1.-The button on the driver´s side that controls the passenger window got stuck on "up", meaning that I cant lower the passenger window.
2.- I removed the switch (drivers side), and sure enough, the "passenger side" button is...
1.- bearing might collapse, you dont want that really.
2.- bearing itself should be some 30 quid, not really a diy job unles you can press out the old bearing out.
3.- Front bearings hardly ever go. Rear bearings do go. In order to know which bearing, build up enough speed to get the drone...
Basically, how can I get this sound out of my 172? The closest thing ive heard was a clio race car. Anyway, anyone care to share how to get this noise out of a clio? I'm betting it feels like 700 bhp just from the noise. cheers!

I think there's a rs tuner log somewhere around here where a guy (tekilator or the likes of that) had a k&N apollo 57 intake, the one that's routed to where the acoustic valve is (basically where the OP wants to place his filter). This log showed the coldest air and, according to the post, the...
It's an Actron, not really a generic one, dont know the model but do know that the cheaper actrons dont have live data readings.
I'm not confusing the readings, actually I've stated before that the MAP reading comes in KPa, there's no value for MAP sensor voltage. And the thing about the...
Well my main issue is not the throttle value (66%), the issue is the engine load going from 0 to 100%, nothing in between. How is engine load calculated? I thought it used the MAP sensor, but something is surely wrong if I'm only getting these 2 values.
Also, when I hook up the reader to the...
So I hooked up my 172 to a live data scanner to check my lambdas (I ran a spark plug non-fouler in 2nd lambda and wanted to make sure I was getting the right readings to fool the ecu, it worked BTW).
Anyway, as I was scrolling through the live data, I noticed that the engine load at idle was...
I found this kit from engine dynamics, kinda answers my question. Anyone tried it?

thing is, the tensioner alone is over 250 quid here. Reno won't sell the complete kit, just the parts. I might end up getting it shipped from the UK or something.
So, how did the tensioner end up bent anyway?
Hi mates. I noticed that my ph2 172's aux tensioner (the one with the big spring, PITA to change) is bent towards the back of the engine, but not enough to rub against the aux belt yet. Just last month I took the car to a specialist to get the cambelt done, and noticed the bent tensioner a...
hope it gets sorted. You may not need the whole head redone, depending on how bad the damage was you might get away with new valves and milling/testing the old head.
lol @ most things being said about the price... Simply put, if you were to manufacture the exact same parts in the UK, the price would skyrocket simply because of the cost of labour and exchange rates. What's the wage for skilled labour in the UK right now??? And everyone would be thinking how...
The chap who sold you the car disconnected the lamda (oxygen) sensor(s). Your cat should have a hole where the sensor screwed in. I'd start by that spot, and then work the way back towards the engine till you find the cables tucked away.
I removed the cat on my 172 but left the lamdas in...
So i changed the PAS return line and the whining has been reduced, but it;s still there. Been reading about the options:
- Remove PAS
- Electric PAS
But... is there a better pump available for the 1X2???? I mean, a lot of other old cars dont ever whine!
lol.. you at least have someone with the knowledge to rebuild the dampers. These trophies (despite what you've been told by renault) seem to have shipped worldwide. At least they did sell in Mexico, same numbered scheme as in the uk.
I would guess that it depends on how bad the oil has been mixing up with the coolant, but I'd change the oil asap!
The gearbox feeling heavy is probably the engine feeling heavy through the trasmission. Unless you can feel the transmission heavy when the clutch is disengaged (meaning foot down...
