lol................yeah..............RenaultPartsDirect have had a fair bit of my money to date anyway.........what's a few more quid. Will probably need the wheel bearing (or any other part it changes to) as well if it keeps up like this so that is no problem :D It's an odd...

Bosch 0 258 006 046

Yes buddy. Brand spanky new as well

It does it when it's cold if I have to put any effort into steering.....not just at the end of travel. Little or none when warm

I know you are man..... I do appreciate it. P.s. pas pump is now on the list too as I think it may be the thing that squeals and not the belt. THIS IS GREAT ISNT IT?

Please stop scaring this poops out of me Steve!!!

Hmm....yeah, ever so slight increase in rpm when I bridge the pins. I bet this is more noticeable without the RSTuner 98 Ron map........pretty sure my switch is doing toss all so will replace that. And I thought Santa cost money?

kk, thanks FB

Gonna try shorting it out.................it wont 'splode will it?

Hmm......I did not do that.................err............................it was Simon's fault :D We were probably talking too much. Ok, so car warm.....................i hop in and press the pedal to bring the car to say, 1700rpm..............after a couple of seconds it will drop to say...

Hey @Louis yeah bud..............dropped Simon's in and still felt the same and did that w@nky idle thing. :/ J

Here is the idle when I arrived home this evening........probably running as good as it gets then

Hey @JamesBryan yes.....and when I do I can hear it clicking. It was just odd that below 2k how it was impossible to hold steady revs with the throttle. I was able to do this just fine in Simon's car. Above 2k no worries. J

Yeah....but my revs don't go up at all....just down :/

Will do @Louis Its new so would hope there is no issue with that. Met @Simon998 today.....good meeting you buddy. I think he feels I am a bit mental about this :)

I also unplugged the pas steering sensor and it made no difference to idle or behaviour when the steering was turned....idle still drops.

Another oddity....perhaps normal but let's see if it might be related. If I press the pedal lightly....in this case held with a screwdriver against the seat I.e. constant pressure.... it will not....it just won't sit at a single rpm value. It is possible over 2k although there is some...

Will just add it to the @#$%ing list... lol

Just thought I would add something else for the fun of it. Been reading the workshop manual like a bedtime novel....Lol.....my power steering switch is leaking....not loads....tiny weep....but.... The manual says that this should lift the revs when steering pressure is detected.... Mine does...

:D

because the throttle doesn't care what air is passing in as the system is based on MAP rather than MAF?

one thing still do do is the breather gasket as the one in the car was a bit hard, that wont be here till Monday mind thinking through that, could it be leaking air slightly and throwing the fuelling off and it is trying to compensate? eugh, i dont know

Hey @JamesBryan I agree.....it is certainly a longer pause that I recall :/ J

I hear you bud........and Simon has kindly offered but what parts is the question? Map sensor is probably an easy one but what else is playing part here? Throttle body? Accel pedal sensor? I don't want to go brutal on his car as there is always the chance of breaking something and would hate...

Just to confirm, that timing check was after about 5 manual rotations after the crank pulley was replaced and that was a week ago J

sorry @Fleabay thanks for confirming the induction uptake being normal

yes buddy i do this every tim ebut sure....again! https://photos.app.goo.gl/UR8H1QM2nSzrNni86

This is exactly it here......after a quick rev (sometimes worse by a prolonged rev say moving in stop-start traffic).............the idle bumbles down to 760 or so rpm which is obviously worse at times.....and you know how these cars feel at that rpm.............then it slowly wanders back up to...

ok........that's good @bloke thanks for confirming.........but the idle dropping down to say, 700 and then recovering every single time? as mentioned, this gets worse in traffic to the point that when you press the accelerator to move off when it is doing this, it stalls. is there such a thing...

Working on the logs now but here is a quick vid......excuse potato quality This has only been at idle so it isnt as extreme as it can be but it gets worse and worse in traffic.......you can see and hear the gasp when it is revved quickly........you can also see the idle drop down to around 700...
