Some of it is.
Suspension is mostly the same, however I believe the front subframe has the wishbone mountings furhter out from what Chip etc on here has said.
If its non-abs it'll be a closer relation to the Ph2 172 Cup than a non-cup.
Shocks/springs all transfer.
Edit: 182 has some things...
Further thinking about it.
I can also get it to do it, entering my drive, its a ramp up to it. Its as if when the weight is removed/increased to the front passenger corner.
I did check the driveshaft too, its not hitting anything or that.
This happend after changing the subframe (bent) and wishbones (182 extra caster) to my DCi.
Car has full 172 front setup, and had zero problems until I bent the subframe. Also has Koni springs and PMS Solid top mounts, Standard geo settings.
The noise has been there the whole time since...
Lower one has its own special nut that comes as part of the lot from Renault. Upper can use the engine mount/cambelt cover bolt that would normally go through that hole.
My rear bolts certainly aren't like Scott's, Mine has 10mm spacers on the standard bolts, but they don't stick through far enough at all imo, I need to source new ones.
Check what kind of bolts yours has Mark.
Does suck though, through the whole not being delivered and then this. At least you...
Actually does happen on other cars, but Clios being reasonably high revving and having a long aux belt, even worse imo.
Plus that lower belt cover is only plastic, easy for the belt to break through it, moreso when some monkey has been working on it and broke it.
I'd expect some differance side to side, theres a few mm tollerance in the factory build of the car.
Unsure what to suggest on yours though, as long as everything was clean and theres nothing extra pushing anything out, only thing it can be is something bent.
I've had very similar going the other way, Twice. Once was driveshaft, second was the driveshaft bottoming out (solved my moving the engine over) but yours isn't as low as mine is. So I'd say former.
