Having a bloody irritating whine from what sounds like the PAS pump, before I get it changed can anyone indicate where the PAS pump sensor is on a 172 Sport?
Figured I'd check this first.
Pic would be cool if available
Cheers
Hey guys
Been having this irritating whine from my engine ever since I can remember. Basically in 1st and second gear when turning the wheel there is a whine (like the car sounds like when it's reversing) coming from the front right of the engine bay looking from the drivers seat.
It only...
Hi all
Noticed that my front discs on my 172 have a fairly pronounced lip around the outer edge of the discs. Pads are in very good condition.
I assume the discs are on their way out and need replacing? Or is it common? Just ask as my old 106 always had lips on the front disc after some use...
Black 172 with 182 anthracite cup pack wheels, wanting to paint my calipers, was thinking:
Black
Yellow
or Silver
Leaning towards yellow but in the abscence of any other yellow on the car might look a bit tacky?
Any one got any pics of 182 wheeled cars with painted calipers?
What ya reckon?
307 splitters off ebay are the larger Pug ones, I bought one for my 172 Ph2 but ended up taking the f*cker off as it kept catching on everything, even though Im only lowered on sportlines!
Smaller 307's are cool but I went for a small meggy one in the end - might be worth considering?
Haha, they were on the car when I bought it and I can't bring myself to change the tyres when there's like 5mm left on each wheel!
Whats wrong with kumhos anyway? :D
yeah thought that might be the case for the surround.
Basically was looking to get a single-pipe quiet-ish backbox, slash cut to the bumper. Likely to be expensive?
Rang round a few places for my mate's 182 about the aux job, a couple of places said that they won't change the alternator pulley.
Question is, the aux kit comprises of idler pulley, belt and tensioner.
Is the alternator pulley a separate part? And if so what does it do and why is it a b*tch...
If I were to go to Prospeed for a new backbox, would they cut the bumper to fit the tailpipe? Quite fancy a visible tailpipe for my 172.
Also, what range of prices would I be looking at for a new backbox?
Cheers
The splitter was off the following car

2002 ph2 Megane
Fitted it by jacking car up one side at a time, started in the middle by offering splitter up to the bumper, drilling 2mm pilot holes through...
thing is, they basically are already the same curve as the clios bumper, so a doddle to fit too! Very pleased! I think I even prefer it to the carbon KTec ones
Fitted a small megane splitter which I got off ebay for £8. A doddle to fit, looks much better than the larger 307 splitter I had on it previously.
If anyone's after a small megane splitter I'd highly recommend tapping 'megane breaking' into ebay and messaging each asnd every seller asking for...
Debating whether or not I need spacers. Have a look below - running standard 195 tyres with 182 cup pack alloys, on eibach sportlines. Car is a 172.
Do I need spacers? :) If so, what size?
Plan to have my aux belts done at AP Developments shortly, but my mate who has a 182 needs his done sharpish...
Any recommendations for any places in South Wales or Bristol area that can change the aux belt, pulley and tensioner? Asked around a few local garages but they aint got a clue how...
172 owners - I'm running the standard 195 tyres with 182 cup pack alloys lowered on Eibach sportlines.
Can anyone recommend me a spacer size for them? I assume universals are a no no so hubcentric appear to be the way to go. But would 15mm be too much? Hmm...
Hi
Pic request - want to see any 172's or 182's that have had spacers fitted to the original 16" wheels! Please also state what size spacers!
Thinking of spacers for my 172 w/182 wheels but dont know if theyll be a bit OTT so wanted to see some pics!
Ta!
