    Possible new splitter found!! (Skoda Fabia)

    Haha! Excellent.. Has anyone else noticed Skoda have updated the item on their own website saying "Can be modified to fit Renault Clio Sport " ??! Brilliant.

    172 cup - which pads for road use?

    Agreed ^^ Very impressed with my D2500's, had them on since feb this year, hammered them on 2 track days and done about 8000 everyday miles, only 10% worn and they work better than OEM from cold imo. Like others have said if you want to upgrade I'd go for braided lines and decent fluid (Castrol...

    Running like a pig

    If your both having the fuel pump problem can I push you in the direction of the Renault software update - if you read http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=518293 I have explained my experience, basically Renault release software updates to improve various aspects of the car, turns...

    Running like a pig

    Hi mate, sounds a little bit like what I was having - does it sort itself out when the cars warmed up or is it a constant thing?? Just to rule it out, listen for your fuel pump priming when you turn the ignition 2 clicks - you should hear a buzz from under the back seat, if not then there...

    Update: 172 Cup Mystery misfire solved!

    Stockport up north! Placebo talk is understandable but the update has made a clear difference, the most noticable thing is it has woken up my sleepy fuel pump, which never primed at the first time of asking, now it primes on the first key turn or whenever the lines have had chance to...

    Update: 172 Cup Mystery misfire solved!

    Well well well, how very interesting. I took my pride and joy in to Lookers Stockport last weekend mainly to order a new fuel pump/sender unit in relation to the 'mystery' misfire that has puzzled me for a while (see...

    Fuel Volume Regulator Control Circuit Open???

    Hmm youve got me thinking... What symptoms are you getting with the starting problems? As far as I know the fuel pressure regulation shabang is all in the sender unit inside the tank - I had this out recently and it seems to be fairly well sealed in unlike the pump which just plugs into...

    Quick update - changing the relay has made no difference to the car, still does not prime on the first key turn and chugs as before. So somewhere between the relay and the fuel pump lies the problem... I hope!

    172 Cup mystery misfire...

    Possibly - I was going to check the voltage at the fusebox but have no idea which fuse is responsible for the fuel pump.. Any ideas? As I said the pins under the relay receive a healthy 12v so you are probably right unless it is the relay itself. The loom goes under the trim and carpet along the...

    Car running awful - any idea?

    Cost me about 50 squiddles from Renault themselves - just try not to laugh out loud when they ask if you'd like them to fit it for you at 1/2 hour labour (about 35 quid!)

    Anyone elses doors/pillars seem to rattle?

    Try popping off the plastic trim on the pillar just behind the seat, the yellow plastic lug at the top only just grabs the trim - blob some glue in there and see if it cures it?? Mine keeps coming loose on the pass side and makes a nasty rattle!

    172 Cup mystery misfire...

    :( Wtf. Two days of perfect starts and now were back to square one. Started fine this morning then halfway down my street, chug chug chug returned to many a swear word. Luckily I have a very automotively minded mate at work who is always keen to investigate a problem. We put a voltmeter on the...

    172 Cup mystery misfire...

    Hi Ash, no light on the dashboard just a judder when you press the throttle even lightly, like the pump isnt keeping up.

    172 Cup mystery misfire...

    Hi mate, problems began right from start up, but not everytime hence the confusion.. It did it pretty regularly from starting the car after it had been cooling down for perhaps 30 mins or so, so not a cold start but somewhere in the middle! Whip the back seat off, take the black plastic cap off...

    172 Cup mystery misfire...

    Haha, yeh hope so.. on reflection it just wasnt delivering fuel right, you could feel the sender pulsing when the back seat was off, then with small amount of throttle it just couldnt keep up and chugged/misfired. We shall see but fingers crossed that was it. just the small matter of the mystery...

    172 Cup mystery misfire...

    Just a quick update, I fitted a used pump (done 5k so nearly new) to my sender unit yesterday and it seems to have cured the problem :D There was a rough vibration coming from the sender unit through the fuel line when running which has now disappeared, seems proof to me that the pump was not...

    172 Cup mystery misfire...

    Hi Cron, no other problems associated with the misfire, just kicks badly when idling and kangarooes for a while when driving, though the harder you push it the more it seems to clear its lungs. The fact that it will NEVER misfire when I can hear the fuel pump priming tells me that it is...

    Hi there, just replied to the very same question further up the list: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=507209 Hope this helps!

    Hmm worth a look then, what exactly is an rstuner? I already have the pump and a relay is pennies, so not worried about replacing those, just hope it isnt something more sinister!

    172 Cup mystery misfire...

    Diagnostic scanner cant find anything, so pretty sure its not electrical. This leaves fuel pump or relay surely? If it was the head ( :s ) what might be the problem with it and how would I go about ruling it out?

    Passenger seat wont fold forward

    Hi there, sounds like the useless plastic casing of the cable has snapped like mine did. If you ping the seat cover off (two elastic loops under the seat located on hooks) and find where the cable goes through a white plastic part, this can shear off where it is supposed to sit in the black...

    172 Cup mystery misfire...

    Hi there, my debut post as this is the first thing I haven't actually been able to diagnose and fix by searching the forum! I have an intermittent misfire which I am 99% certain is caused by a fuel pressure problem. In search of the problem I have changed plugs, leads, coilpack, cleaned the...
