This is my 2002 172.
Actually bought it out of the classified section on here about 6 weeks ago. It had done 76k (78k now) full service history, belts done, 100% standard and seems to have been looked after.
It just needed a good clean really, but it has taken me 6 weeks to get it to a stage...
Took my wheels off yesturday to give them a good clean, and noticed that when I took the front nearside off the inside of the wheel was covered in greese. The CV joint clip had broken. Went out in search of another, but the best anyone could offer was a cable tie. They told me that 99% of CV...
I could do with a new back box exhaust bracket, the rubber on mine has certainly seen better days! Is the only place to get these from renault and if so does anyone know how much they will be?
Thanks
Noticed a slight blowing on my 172 this morning, drove 10 miles, over this 10 mile period the blowing became louder and louder and now the back box is hanging lose.
Is this normal for it to happen so quick or must the exhaust have been welded at some point? Normally get abit more notice than...

How long should the battery be on a clio 172 02 plate?
The one that came with mine is 8 inches and clearly too big as the intake pipe for the airbox can't be connected properly.
Cheers
Hi I bought an 02 172 3 weeks ago, 76k with 5 stamps in the service book.
The last service was carried out at 70k and the reciept states it had a replacement cam belt kit fitted. Would this have included the aux belt? There's no mention of it but surely it would have been due one??
The...
Bought a 172 ph2 a couple of weeks ago, thought it was 100% standard. But it actually has a K&N panel air filter. Just wondered, are these any good, is the only affect it will have on the car a slightly deeper tone?
Cheers
I have recently bought an 02 ph2 172, really pleased with it.
Just a few questions though.
The idle is a little lumpy and the clutch heavy, heard this was normal? It idles smoother than some I looked at and to be fair I have got used to the clutch.
Fairly soon I would like to change the...
Right I am thinking about buying the above, maybe something like a w/x/yreg 2000 172 with around 60/70k on the clock. What are the sort of potential problems should I look out for?
Guessing I'll be paying between 2500 and 3250??
What sort of mpg do you guys get, official figure is 35mpg but...
