    197 Crankshaft oil seal - Timing end

    Just finishing up on my 197 cambelt change, I had to use a bit of heat to remove the crank sprocket so am replacing the crankshaft oil seal. Now I believe this has probably never been done on this engine, but when I removed the plate that the seal goes into (not sure what its called?!) to get a...

    Removing gearbox from the top guide?

    I done it on a DCI years ago as I was a young lad and got stuck at the captive nuts on the subframe! - wouldnt be in a hurry to do it again! either drop the subframe or pull the engine with it if you must come out the top.

    Heater fan not working

    Trying to understand this a little better, So the original issue wasn't that it didn't work, it was that the fan stayed on 100%? no matter what speed the switch was at? Is it Climate control or manual heating?

    Known Mileage/Age Cambelt failures

    I'm doing the belt on my 09 197 this week, looks original to me, genuine idlers and tensioner, genuine water pump too. Given the lack of history with the car I don't believe it will have been done before. belt looks in good condition! was timed up spot on too. - The aux belt was ready to snap...

    How closely related are the Clio and Dacia Sandero?

    I keep bidding on the sandero access with the black bumpers and steels when they come up on eBay but they keep going for way too much!

    Early Morning Trophy.

    Awesome, if there was ever a time for a Trophy then that it is! This was mine, 7 years ago, the morning after my bird told me she was pregnant and it felt like she had ruined my life! - It took all my worries away for a few hours! - The car is long gone and my not so little 7 year old turned...

    Sound bar recommendations

    I've never heard a sound bar I've thought sounded decent, but I suppose that's the point of them, compromised, neat and tidy. Amp and speakers all day for me.

    197 Cambelt swap question

    In the middle of my first F4R Cambelt, and I'm positive I read someone on here a while back (@Brigsy comes to mind?!) saying they go OVER the torque setting for the dephaser and exhaust cam nuts. I've had a search and cant find anything so I'm now doubting myself :ROFLMAO:

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    Been ticking away at this when I get time between other jobs! 5hrs from starting to having the engine and box out I was quite happy with! Slave cylinder was leaking which was the cause of the loss of clutch pedal as expected, looks like its never had a clutch in its 80k miles and wasnt far...

    Awful metallic noise coming from belt side of the engine

    to me it sounds exactly like the fuel rail guard rattle, and the fact its only happening at idle and stopping when the AC raises the idle, to me points to that!

    Awful metallic noise coming from belt side of the engine

    check the fuel rail guard then.

    Awful metallic noise coming from belt side of the engine

    Have you confirmed its definitely the AC compressor? does the noise come and go with the activation of the AC? As above just stick a second hand AC compressor on it. Make sure the fuel rail guard is tight as these can also cause a metallic rattle when they are loose

    172 MOT Fail - Emissions

    don't worry about the reg being wrong. That just needs a good warm up before test, surprized they didn't, We would have failed that, took it on a road test to warm it up and retested and passed.

    Help Me find a decat for 1.4L mk3 clio
