Anyone know the history of this? Is the owner on here? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/renault-clio-182-trophy/174171880321

Broke down waiting for the RAC. since getting home and using the car the engine sounded unbelievably noisier than it was before. Driving to work this morning and the sound was horrific. Very loud tappy and rattling noise while moving but goes away as soon as clutch is depressed.

Back on the road again thanks to Kris at Ren-Sport. First time I have met Kris and very grateful for his help getting the clio back on the road within a few days. Ended up being a bit of a pain with subframe bolts seized on and damaged clutch line but Kris still got it sorted and back running...

Opened my thread to post and realise its been a whole year since I last updated this thread! The 182 remains insured and taxed but not used daily. It went straight through the last MOT without any advisories on 21-09-2019 with 89318 miles on the clock. Since then it has only covered around 100...

Cheers mate. Yea that would be great tbh.

I had the clio towed to Ren-Sport last night by the RAC. Id bought a 12 month membership code on here 10 months ago so it finally came in useful. kris at Ren-Sport has messaged me today to say it ws a nightmare to get the clutchout and that the inside of the box was soaked in oil, and the...

Is he operating full time? Im sure last time i tried to get in touch it was just open every now and then and i struggled to get in contact.

Super mate cheers for the advice least i have some idea now of what is needed. Just need to find somewhere decent to do it. Is it the type of job any normal garage should be able to do without issue or is it more of a specialist job?

ah right well that sounds likely then as im sure brake fluid is leaking as it isnt normal to have to top it up, especially twice. Tell me more about the slave and what this is / involves? Are we still talking clutch? Easy repair or not?

I did wonder if my clutch was going a few weeks back. also wondering if the leak could be brake fluid and not box oil. When i topped it up a couple weeks ago the stop and handbrake light has came back on so this morning I topped it up again. Would it be possible for brake fluid to be leaking...

Yea mate theres quite a bit of box oil dripping. What could cause that and do you think that will be something else that needs to be fixed?

Gearbox oil leaking into the drive too. Noticed it a few days ago but now theres a decent amount visible on the drive. Could this be linked in with the clutch?

no probs mate. Would clutch not slip in all gears? It felt like it was slipping in 4th and 5th. Goi g to have a run out init again later amd see what its like

not far feom Durham mate. About 20 mile from @Brigsy fancy a look through mine mate and a bit of paid work? 😉

Thats what i thought at first mate but it got me all the way home from newcastle. When going up hill on the 19 under load it would rev up as though it was in neutral, but was obviously still driving.

Yea mate theres oil under the bottom of the turbo. We looked at it yesterday at the MOT. any idea what a garage cost would be for a turbo replacement? Working out whats the best thing to do with it.

lol is there a way to look for boost leaks without vape haha? will have a look at the filter. Why could it be the filter though?

Just been for a drive and it isn't doing what it was last night. It did slightly but then stopped. Its as if you can hear the turbo more, like a mini hoover, but maybe that's because im specifically listening.

Just had a look. Cant see any pipes popped off. No strange noises other than the juddering sound. not sure what to do.

boost pipe popped off on an old dci i had so will do that in the morning. 😭

MOT passed this morning. And then when driving home tonight something major has failed. I think it might be the turbo!?!? The car will cruise along but as soon as you put your foot to the floor it will just rev as though its in neutral. You can hear the turbo spooling but theres no power. Also...

MOT booked for Friday this week. Not sure what the outcome will be....

Thanls mate. I think thats beyond my skills to even attempt. Rough idea what a garage would charge for something like that?

thanks mate you are always very clued up. whats involved with changing a turbo? Is it difficult? Bolt on bolt off?

What? Lol. Honestly no idea where i would start with that and what i would need to remove.

Yea looked at it and though how would i get the rest of that off! What do you mean? Leaking oil from the seals? How would it be resolved?

I wouldn't have a clue where to start with that mate. I will try anything, but i need to see it first before i give it a go.

Why do you think that mate? I have no idea when it comes to turbos. I know this was said before by yourself and others, but i have done 11k over the last year since owning and it is still going. What other signs would there be that the turbo is failing?

i did the j pipe a year ago when i bought it and it was clean. Strange as i expected it to be full. The other bit, the inlet? I didnt even know what that was and how you would get it off? I cleaned as much as i could with a screwdriver but it looks like it needs a proper clean. Is it even possible?

Brake fluid solved the problem 👍🏽 Have a juddering when changing gears which i need to work out. Engine mount looks ok i think. MOT in a couple weeks anyway so will have a good look then. cleaned the egr today as its been lower than usual on mpg and although no engine light on, when i plugged...
