    It makes me sad these things.. mine is fine but i can imagine how you must feel. I would go back and try out their after-service, + if that does'nt work tell them they're a bunch of incompetant assholes

    ^^ that properly sucks ! So, when having the cambelt done and the dephaser goes shortly after ; it means the whole job all over again !? (with all new parts , belt etc. )

    another question to this topic; When having a full cambelt change , is this dephaser pulley also changed or is this an extra ?

    Hints/ Tips on fitting powerflex dog-bone bushes to ph2

    i also hesitated to fit them, but after not reading about any more probs (from 2008 indeed) with the threads being torn from the gearboxes i felt confident enough to trie them. I will regularly check under the car how it's holding up though. My car has a bit more torque than normal and all...

    Car Has Been Proper Juddering Like!!

    ^^ yeah but his suddenly drives fine again sometimes ? When the first lambda goes, it will go into a " safe" mode and still drive but really down on power. Did you do all the injectors last time OP ?

    ITBS on Clio172MKII

    Henk, contact Henk at Veban Rijswijk (Renault specialist). He is the one who installed my cams etc. He has been doing Renault for a good 20+ years and is a good friend of Henk Fastchip so the mapping will also be taken care of. Veban is also a K-tec dealer in Holland so you could order...

    Powerflex Dogbone - Arghhhhhhh!

    You're welcome ! ... to be clear, the small one goes on top ; meaning this one touches the car + the big one towards the ground :approve: This way the "pull" on that bolt is also less stressfull because you're moving the leaver up towards the mounting to the box= stronger. And yeah mine...

    Powerflex Dogbone - Arghhhhhhh!

    You may have fitted the two rubbers in the front (connecting to the engine) the wrong way round. The shorter one should be the top, the bigger at the bottom ?

    Pressure plate hates me. Upgrade clutch kit or not?

    You really should speak to Godspeed about this, really. I think he bought the same stuff you have , the quaife and all, and had the same problems:dead:

    rs tuning results with graphs

    hmm maybe , do you have something of a little mirror ? You need to look past/below the fuelrail-guard, the square metal thing on front of your engine.

    'Hiccup' on low revs

    How is the cold start-up ? Mine has been been difficult to start , need to blip throttle a bit to keep her going. I'm thinking it's injector cleaning time again ! Will trie this afternoon.

    Camber and tracking.

    this.. it's what i'm running, to pretty much satisfaction . Toe in will give a very nice fast straightline steady track, while toe out made mine being all over the place. Renault states Toe neutral for our cars , i have done some study into this. I have not tried much camber negativity but...

    ET35 on a Clio 182 (non cup packed)

    ^^ i'm surprised at the reactions . Have you guys modified your bumper-brackets ? Markhinton ; feel around your wheelarch from left to right and you will find something sticking out prominantly. This is the bracket i'm talking about. When grinding/bending this out of the way you should have...

    ET35 on a Clio 182 (non cup packed)

    Your 182 has bigger hubs compared to the 172's. (bigger bearing etc.) . That's why the ET was lowered to 45, the hubs are giving the wider track. So your hubs and the ET45 wheels give about the same track as our 172Cup setup. So when you go for the et35 wheels, you go out another 1cm which...

    172/182 itg air filter?

    yeah ITG is allright ! Like Danny said the location from where it gets its air from is most important. Like you are running it , it's getting loads of hot air so no good for performance. Good on you for going back to OEM

    This Engine Mount Knocking!

    a mount can actually be broken.. even the one we were talking about , without being able to see it from above when looking at it. Pop open the hood and grab your engine by the inlet and pull hard forward and backward. The engine should only have "some" movement, say 2 to 3 centimeters (between...

    The mount is supposed two allow this movement. (little gaps) Sucks, but it's normal do'nt worry

    This Engine Mount Knocking!

    ^^ I also tried this.. simple, two 3mm plates grinded into wedge shape so you could fill the two gaps. Test-drove it around for 2 hours and removed the shims (plates) ; did'nt like it. Tightening up the engine (stopping movement) on just one side made my car feel like it had a sort of...
