Yup 105NM which is 77lbf.ft

Yeah they'll fit if they are from a non rs.

Ive never done it but renault always say theres special tools for pushing in seals, you can always improvise with bits in your garage.

The plenum is often reffered to as the inlet, the inlet is the bit it bolts onto that has the fuel rail on it. As above the inlet, to plenum gasket is worth changing, its not too pricey from renault. If its a 172mk1 the gasket between the throttle and the plenum falls apart, again this isnt...

Black ph1s look so awesome though. The colour suits the car so much.

Mine was missing and ive seen loads of others that were missing. I bought one off someone off here, think it was Winston?? for £8.

As above, aftermarket rubbers ones are a lot better. I had the same problem, no matter how tight the clip was it would still seep out.

Cheers Danny, the label says to refer to manufacturers guidlines and theres nothing in the manual or the workshop manual.

Have you ever hosed/powerwashed your engine bay?? If the water comes back Id be very worried.

Bump. Anyone know??

Does anyone know what percentage the Renault type2 coolant stuff is?? Reason I ask is im bleeding the cooling system on a mk2ph2 1.2 clio and instead of using the Renault stuff Im using up a 5L bottle of Halfords advanced 5yr coolant. trouble is im not sure what percentage of water to mix it...

On a 172/182 if the aux belt or tensioner goes it normally wraps itself around everything and causes a big mess with the cambelt. When I bought my car it had the major service box ticked at 36k, when I checked with the dealer it wasnt changed or advised to be changed. So somehow it had...

BB Performance Tunings 172 Exclusive turbo was claimed to have just over 270hp. It was for sale not long ago, not sure if it ended up with anyone on here??

Yes it is.

Any fully synthetic 5w-40w or 10w-40w will do.

Its probably due to the change in weather/temperature. The car uses more fuel on cold starts.

As above, i took my plenum off, took all the sensors out, blasted it through with power washer, gave it ages to dry out and the difference was very noticable. Its worth doing. When taking the plenum off its worth getting a new gasket for the inlet, the one on the throttle house to plenum also...

Very easy removing the airbox bend allows you to get at the throttle. 4 torx bolts and the whole thing is off. For best results remove the top plenum and clean the inside out of that. Theres a guide in the guides section on how to remove it.

Bad luck dude, i go over that junction twice a day and wandered what had happened to the sign!! Accidents there are normally caused by idiots jumping the lights. Will you be getting another??

Need discs with abs, else it will be even more dangerous. You can tap the old rings off the old discs and press onto the new ones.

Its not safe. Theres some renault discs/bearings on ebay for £159.

They will fit fine. Calipers are the same. I think the offset is different though. The 172 cup wheels stick out a tad more.

Nope, the fuel filter you shouldnt need to worry about (unless you have a ph1 172 where they are changed every 36k). Inspect the spark plugs and see what condition they are in. I replaced mine at 70k and they were still in very good condition.

I think they are talking about number 13?? Where the pipe goes into the plenum just after the throttle.

172 is a 2 man job, cat swap on a 182 is easy. Ive got the k-tec sports cat. Its actually made by Janspeed, my car has passed 2 mots with it on.

Renault have now improved the clutch cable so its stronger and doesnt cause the pedal to vibrate at high revs.

Yup iirc you were behind a R5 Turbo. Wouldnt have seen me though I was in the shopping-mo-bile.

Spotted a silver 172mk1 with twin exhaust and black wheels at hinckley morrisons petrol station today..Anyone??

Does it just missfire when idling?? Its normal for them to splutter a bit.
