I had a very similar problem when I first got my clio . it had a sports cat and 2 rear boxes with no middle box.. it seems I went the total wrong way with it .. I got a new middle section with silencer and fitted it which made zero difference.. I then cut open the back boxes and re packed them...
just one mate the dipped beam hid or what ever they are called.. its only slightly but still noticeable enough.. im betting they are going to be bloody expensive knowing my luck... I don't want the blue look ones that some go for though....
cheers

hello all.. ive got a 182 and one headlight is slightly brighter than the other.. is their somewhere like ebay where I can get replacement bulbs without having to buy the starters for them.. any links would be great so a direct replacement would be great..
thanks in advance
hi all.. had my aircon gassed yesterday and found a leak where the pipes go through the bulkhead into the heater box. ive had it out the best I could to see if any pipes had cracked but looks more like it was coming from a seal on the rear of the reducer valve thing. I took it apart and it has...
I'm sure it is an injector sticking or something I just didn't have chance to look properly as had a 200 mile journey to do. Thought would be nice to take the Clio to work but ended up in the trusty reliable Honda civic.
Im going to order a set of injectors I think and be done with it as at...
Hello all.
A few months ago I had a misfire on my Clio wher I replaced the leads plugs and coil with genuine Renault parts which didn't cure the problem. It turned out to be no2 injector which I replaced with new.
Last nite I had the same problem happen 40 miles from home management...
mine did this a few months ago and the reader said cyl 2 missfire. turned out to be an injector . id already changed coil/leads/plugs. new injector was under 30 quid and is easier to change than the plugs.. if you do get the code read and it tells you which one it is number 1 is the gearbox...
Shame the clios are becoming so cheap now some rite little idiots get hold of them and do things like that and everyone who has one is tarred the same.
Although in 98 I was doing similar over quay west but in a shitty 1.1 fiesta
you could heat a tiny pin up with a lighter and pop it through the lens at the lowest level of the water so it runs out . then any further water in their will run straight out.. bit of a bodge but you wont even be able to see it.. i did it to a mates van at work for him and its never had water...
Where are you counting the cylinders from as I made this mistake thinking number 1 was drivers side but I'm told its the gearbox end number 1. So I changed 3 instead of 2 and couldn't work out why it wouldn't work.
Worth a mention
mine had a similar missfire problem although not sure on power loss as didnt drive anywhere but the code reader said cyl 3 missfire i changed plugs/leads and coipack this didnt cure it but i noticed what i thought was plug 2 very wet. turns out what i thought was number 2 is actually number 3 as...
i would but then it looks silly sitting an inch higher up the screen than its meant to be.. the car didnt have a wiper on when i got it but prefered it looking more original..
Hello all.
My 182 rear wiper has lost it's park as it does its sweep of the screen then on return to rest it passes its park spot touches the boot slightly then back up to park.
I've tried the motor on another car and is fine on their so wondered what controls this. I've searched...
thanks for the help on this.. recharged it and found the leak where a pipe goes into the side of the aircon rad so drained it back out and will whip the bumper off to get to it when i get a chance.. hopefully just a rubber seal gone..
thanks again
I just got brand new coilpack / leads and plugs from Renault to solve a misfire problem that turned out to be an injector fault.
Bit gutted but at least it's all new now
Ok thanks for the help ill have to investigate. Before I had it re gassed the system was already empty just after I got the car but couldn't spot any obvious leaks but although empty the pump used to kick in that's why I thought it must be a different fault but ill find the leak and get it re...
hello all..
i had my aircon recharged quite a few months ago and worked fine and havent really used the car since. i found a few weeks ago that the heater resistor pack had given up so i got a new transistor and fitted it all back in and all the controlls now work on the pannel.
i...
ive got a 182 with a custom exhaust that had no middle box so ive fitted a ktec middle section to mine in the hope of having a nice quiet car but it made sod all difference.. ive even cut open both back boxes and re packed them and still made hardly any difference. next step for me is remove the...
thanks for the advice i have more bits ariving today so hopefully get to the bottom of it
ill put new plugs in for peace of mind then go through the injectors..
hello... the other week i started my 182 up and after a while of ticking over it sounded like it was missfiring and the management light flashing on the dash. i took it to a locak garage where the owner is very good with these clios. while driving down the light went out.
he plugged his reader...
hello..
ive cut open one of the back boxes on my 182 as its too noisy so thought id see if their was any packing inside which their is.
has anyone done this before as im wondering if the more i cram inside will it make it quieter? or if i pack it too tight will the gasses not just pass...
Ok thanks for the help lucky I asked as was going for magnacor. Do ktec sell genuine stuff only my nearest Renault is 30 odd miles away so I'd rather order from somewhere that will post the correct stuff out first time. Or anyone else that are recomended.
Thanks
