    Basic Renault Tool Set

    Deep sockets needed in 10, 16, 17, 18 mm. Torx 20, 30, 40, 50 but just discovered the clock spring has small torx (might be 10) that hold the stalks in.

    Be careful, unlike other engines the rocker cover holds the cam shafts in the bearings. Only loosen one bolt at a time.

    Water wetter

    Also note that the standard coolant corrosion-inhibitor additives INCREASE the boiling point, so plain water can carry more heat but will boil sooner. Some info on water wetter: https://rennlist.com/forums/general-porsche-discussions-forum/680070-redline-water-wetter-users-just-a-heads-up.html...

    Seeing 1990's cars on the roads nowadays....

    Remember how the 172 P1 was an ugly duckling for so long and is now being appreciated again? Not quite 1990s but a small car I found in Italy.

    Water wetter

    Coolant is an interesting topic. Counter-intuitively, distilled water without an additives has the best heat-carrying capacity. It's not used because most modern engines have different metals in contact with each other (eg, alloy head and cast iron block, or alloy engine and head with cast iron...

    Clio 172 PH1 no spark

    I had this problem with a P2. Happened with both keys so I figured it was immobiliser. Looked for broken wires etc changed crank sensor, no fix. Turned out both keys were dodgy however I fixed them by resoldering all the joints on all the components on the circuit board — just touching each...

    Why do most people rave about polybush dog bones?

    I just put purple Powerflex bushes in both ends of the dog bone of my 172 and it's much better. Just before doing that I discovered that the LHS gearbox mount under the battery was broken (both the battery box corner was snapped off and the big bolt was in two pieces) so in the 2 years I've...

    Timing kit

    The correct locking tools are required for a belt change on the F4R. Get it wrong and valves bend. I believe the cam belt need to be removed to change the water pump.

    Solution to Immobiliser Problems: Fixing the Key

    Hello TL;DR -- keys that cause immobiliser faults may be fixed by re-soldering the joints on the components. I have a 2002 172 (non-ESP) that's been suffering badly with immobiliser problems. Symptoms steadily got worse -- on key turn the immobiliser flashed quickly, but if the remote button...

    172 Cup Handling

    IMHO get what you've got fixed up (brake fluid, pads, decent tyres) then get some track tuition.

    Turinis on a non cup 182

    Ha ha I wish, the 172 Cup was never sold in Australia so there are no used Cup bits - cheap or otherwise. AFAIK there is only one 172 Cup in Australia - a blue one - and that was imported as a rally/race car that cannot be road registered. I saw the car and met the owner (Gazwold on the OzRS...

    Turinis on a non cup 182

    Excellent. Is it a common mod to put the 172 Cup springs and shocks on a standard 172? Does is make much difference?

    Turinis on a non cup 182

    Hijacking the thread... what's the difference with the 172 Cup suspension? I've read the Clio Model Guide and it says "lower, firmer suspension and wider track"and the wider track is due to the wheel offset. Are the Cup struts and springs different? (I'm in Australia and no 172 Cups were sold...

    Would any of these work?

    Water pump spins in different directions. I expect it's only efficient in one direction.

    182 Intermittent starting

    My 172 had a similar problem. I cleaned the big white socket, no change. When I looked that the crank sensor the plug wasn't seated properly. Fixed now.
