    Silly high idle

    YES. There is a small brown oval ring shaped one that sit's in the recess under the plenum. That can fall out wif your not careful!!

    Help needed, 172 pulling to the right under acceleration.

    checked the obvious tyre pressures? Did the garage weight the vehicle when aligning it?

    New Owner - Is this a problem or totally normal?

    it would be far worse defaulting the ecu to standard setting

    New Owner - Is this a problem or totally normal?

    Clio sports dont use EGR valves but in responce to the OP, it is normal, mine takes a good 4-5 mins to clear sometimes.

    Silly high idle

    air leak, have you wound your front plenum bolts down onto the fuel rail guard?? Did you renew the gaskets? When TB's normally fail they wont rev not the other way around

    Is this where the tappets are located (image)

    £166 for pulley, don't think you can get bolt separately. ALWAYS change belt kit if removing, don't be a fool! Will be about £500 quid to do unless you can do it yourself.

    Camshaft seal is leaking??

    If it was underside, id say more a crank pulley seal although how the cover design is, it covers the area to be 100% sure. As fred has said, seek a 2nd opinion from a specialist. These cars can go very wrong when dealt with incorrectly. To diagnose the camshaft seals the top engine mounting...

    Metal Grinding Noise

    If its not clutch, its gonna be an input shaft bearing!! See how much play is in the input shaft when the box is out! Ouch!!

    Reaching the end of my tether.......

    Id say at the symptoms you have, a lambda sensor wouldn't go a miss. Other than that, the TPS sensor in the TB as mentioned already.

    brown plug under fuel rail ???? help needed

    clip it back on if it will. They have small but fcuking fiddly snap retaining rings to hold them in place.

    will i get more power if i port my inlet manifold on my clio 172

    Well worth doing but make sure the port measurements are 100% true, only CNC is the way to do it.

    brown plug under fuel rail ???? help needed

    Yes the green plug is the sensor to try!! To be 100% safe, while the switch is out, try and land yourself a oil pressure tester, this simply screw's into the sensor hole and gives you a mechanical read out when the engine is running. This will confirm if you have issues or not. From cold you...

    brown plug under fuel rail ???? help needed

    Get this sorted first ^^, Try a new switch, only a few quid from renault

    brown plug under fuel rail ???? help needed

    yes you will need to fix it, it does what it says in the tin, detect's "engine knock" and controls ignition/fuelling to suit

    brown plug under fuel rail ???? help needed

    Oil pressure switch is close to the oil filter, if its that wire, it would explain light on dash as disconnected shows open circuit. Its a small round plug, single wire iirc. Brown plug of a switch higher up is the knock sensor, this should not cause oil pressure light to appear

    Removing 172 head - help/advice needed

    i would say the bottom pulley has become loose and swung its self way out of time. Now im not 100% but in pic one it does look like the piston is at TDC sitting at the valves hence your cranking for a second problem.

    Leda Coilovers

    Johns shocks are good, but most are off leda drawings aren't they?? just valved using different shim designs etc. I have LEDA, is my 2nd set now and i can't fault them in anyway, by far the best if ever fitted/used. They are pricey but you pay for what you get!

    Engine missing

    Ive seen it once, took a little tracing but found an air leak from the acoustic valve to inlet plenum & defective carbon canister. I repaired the rubber hose & replaced the canister and its ran fine ever since. Did not try them inbetween so cant say which fixed it lol!! Having a live diagnostic...
