I've got a scenic with the usual egr valve blocking problem, it's a euro 4. Is it as simple as remove egr and fashion a blanking plate from alloy to cover the hole leaving the egr plugged in if I want to delete it?

Just replaced my top mounts and there seems to be a change in design. My old ones had a metal collar inserted down through it that was missing in the new ones. Then the final part(inside the engine bay) in my old ones came as one with a raised collar that went over the but that holds the shock...

I'm putting new top mounts on tonight and track rod ends and I'm returning to standard camber. Is there a rough way of setting it somewhere near if I can't get out of work to get it properly tracked so I can drive to work until my next days off?

I'm going to be replacing track rod ends and top mounts and I'm considering going back to original camber. Has anyone else gone back to standard and did it make much difference. I'm finding it very unstable on rougher streets/roads.

Hi, my 182 has just failed on emissions, the readings from the two tests they ran were- C02 7.06 then 6.62 Hc 236 then 186 Second test seemed to have been 15 mins after the first. In all fairness I forgot to warm it up before the test, it's a standard cat with scorpion. Any ideas how to get...

My 182 lmu and head unit are having I few problems. First of all the stalk control stopped working then the display only works intermittently. In all honesty I haven't had it apart to see if there is a loose connection just wondered if this is likely or is it something else.

Why can't my local tyre place get my steering wheel straight when doing my tracking. I've been back twice now and it's still 1-2 inches off straight. They also always blow torch the crap out of my track rod ends. Might just alter either side myself

Not sure this is going to work but will give it a try, what should follow is the print out of my tracking done after fitting camber bolts. My local garage is crap so I need to go back to get my steering wheel straight but what do you lot think?

So I had - 1.00 left, - 0.38 right camber and - 0.06 left, - 0.08 right toe. I've then put camber bolts on to the max but my garage with hunter system says I now have less camber( roughly - 0.38 a side ) and toeing in 0.17. How is this possible? They did say setting the toe back to - 0.06...

I've done these today, wow what a sod without ratchet spanners. Feels better though. My question is how tight should I have done the 13mm clamp bolts up, I've thread locked them and done them up to what I felt was pretty tight

Got my tracking done and had my camber checked at the same time, I've got - 1.0° left and - 0.38 right is this enough for me notice? I'm not happy with how my car feels through corner sago would like to get them at least even if not increased to - 1.5

Not the environment but my car! Basically it's not blowing cold, things I've done are :checked the cogs in the footwell which are all good and you can hear the clunk when ac is on. The fan by the interior light runs so no problem there. What I do know is the pump clutch isn't engaging...

Firstly sorry but I've read all the threads and they are so contradictory. I've got the tuner list not update. What I want is a simple auxiliary to ipod 3.5 mm jack but keep reading that I need different units like connects 2etc. I realise I will lose all but volume control from the...

Basically I've got a few products but need some other bits to do a good clean/polish. The ones I have are autoglym shampoo, mer Polish, autoglym egp, autoglym tyre dressing. What else should I use like an iron/tar remover etc. And where is best to get them in one shop or online site?

Short of removing them is there a way of identifying worn top mount bearings?

Just had my tracking done which has made it feel better turning in, before It was 0°08' total toe, now its - 0°14'total toe. Does a bit of toe out improve cornering turn in our is it psychological?

Anyone ever done this and can I do it if my refrigerant has leaked out?

How annoying, after a year of no air con I finally parted with 50 quid to get it re gassed which was near empty. Anyway after all that it turns out my pump isn't running, are there any checks I can do or easy fixes or am I going to have to shell out a few hundred just for a few weeks of...

Since having the inlet manifold off to seal the usual leaking rocker cover bolts one by one my coolant light has been on. Checked it was plugged in but its still on so do i need to put a new sensor in? Could be a good time to change coolant too.

Is it usual for cup rear shocks to fail after less than a year and less than 5k?

cant find this when searching, some times and today included when I turn the key to start nothing happens. Today took three attempts leaving a few second pause between. Any one else get this? So far it always starts after a few goes but then may not do it for a week.

Quite simply the brake fluid reservoir touching the engine block when pulling off. I've had this for near two years and always thought it was a dodgy release bearing until I made it worse doing a brake overhaul causing the reservoir to touch constantly. Such a simple fix just wish i had noticed...

im having a nightmare, had my car on axle stands to replace my brakesbut now having done them im getting vibration through the pedals? What could possibly cause this? Also my brake reservoir is on such an angle its touching the engine, how is it held in place?

Replaces discs and pads and done a full bleed with ignition on and now my car just begins to start then stops like the power cuts or it seizes. Surely the only link to the brake maintenance is the fact the ignition was on? Doesn't seem like a low battery does it?

Followed the correct bleed procedure farthest first etc. But maybe not level ground, kept res.full but I now have spongy brakes and a creaky pedal. Sounds like air- my biggest fear! Any tips?

Done a search and found nothing and I'm in a hurry, what should/can I use to lube them up? I've got copper grease and molybdenum grease. Cheers

As the title says, no spare on 182s so could I use and don't laugh- my wheel barrow tyre pressure? Failing that my son has himself a job this weekend

I was talking to a tyre specialist in Hereford today and he told me the kumho kh17 I have on the front of my car are part of the reason my cars handling isn't what it was. He claims they are totally the wrong speed rating but they are 83V the same as the pilots on the back?! Not sure what to...

I've fitted sportlines when I first got my 182 about two years ago and I get odd handling entering corners, is it possible that there is a small amount of camber movement in doing this that has caused this. There is a small amount of movement with the strut to hub bolts isn't there? What is the...
