Hey guys just a quick one,
A guy at work said I should get a megane 225 pulley wheel for the 182 cause it boosts power, I've never heard of this and if its true where can I get one from?
Keeps going into limp mode when driving more spiritedly. Recent HT lead, spark plug and PTFE gasket change. But did it before this change. Any ideas?
thanks guys
erm... if theres any power loose and not revving like it should when going for abit it could be the vvt pulley, maybe?
if so then looking at £125 for the pulley and recommended cam belt change which are about £450
Have a look at your ht leads going in to your coilpack, check for any rubbing marks or white marks on them if so wrap these areas in electrical tape for the mean time and replace them. While your there check the connectors for corrosion and clean if required. Thats where i would start
If that was from the Birchangar service roundabout towards harlow then thats me, just finished work and didnt fancy the queue around the roundabout looked epic so took the M11 which on your side looked worse :( hope the traffic moves on for ya, least you have trouble making up time ;)
May have been me but not 100% sure what time i went through though. Was there an whining sound coming from the car? (if you could hear it with the Stones playing too lol)
No mods, and yh it goes as well as it should its just feels like its in a high gear between 2k-3k then it makes normal power. Its a strange one really I can't work it out I have suggested a quick air filter and spark plug service and to use 98Ron fuel for a bit to see what happens
A friend of mine has a 182 and he is having trouble producing power around 2k it gets going after awhile just needs to keep the foot down to do it
Any ideas?
Basically yesterday morning I heard a whine noise from the engine bay as I was going to work yesterday but the noise went on the way home.
This morning the noise was back however much louder so took it into Toomey Renault Southend and they have informed me that the alternator bearings have gone...
