I replaced a ton of stuff including the timing belt, dephaser, auxiliary belt, aux belt pulleys and tensioner, all the oil seals, sump gasket, exhaust and inlet manifold gaskets, clutch etc... etc... all with genuine Renault parts. Prior to that the alternator and water pump were replaced.

That would be brilliant... ya whatever number's on the outside of the socket would be great. I'm always happy to buy new tools... you never know when you may need them. Sorry for all the questions etc... here. Hopefully our conversation will be helpful to somebody doing this job in the future.

Thanks guys... I did the job a few weeks ago [along with a ton of other stuff as I took the engine and gearbox out of the car] and used this one off eBay. It's probably the one @MrBlonde used ? Seems alright so far, although I have to say there's still a whine when I start the car, but it...

That's brilliant... can you let me know the size of the socket... just want to check that I have it. I don't have very many large sockets unfortunately - all my stuff's small from the kart racing.

That's really helpful. So I'm looking at having it so that some of the blue line is showing, right ? I guess I need an electrical tape reel larger than the red bore and just slightly smaller than the blue bore. Do you normally use the electrical tape, or if a socket, what size ? Thanks again.

Thanks so much for that.

Ya that would be great if you could post a photo... again, thanks so much for all your help.

Thanks so much for this. I put some oil on the lip of the seal and used the biggest socket I had. It wasn't big enough though, it wasn't proud of the edge of the seal if you know what I mean. The problem is the seal doesn't have a stop to be hammered in to... so it can go too far in. I like...

I did a lot of work on my 182 a few weeks ago, including replacing the offside [driver's side] oil seal on the gearbox. That's the one where the RHS driveshaft enters the box. I felt at the time I didn't get it in correctly... and sure enough I've now been proven correct :( Does anyone have...

Looks like R134A PAG46... thanks so much guys.

Than you so much... 100% Sure ? I need to order it today/tomorrow... love the Hakosuka there... one my all time favourites, Gan-san was the man !

Ya they do, but my engine will be on a bench in the next 48 hours so that won't be an option. My friend has all the gassing kit, we just need to know what lubricant to use.

Would anyone happen to have details of the oil used in the air conditioning system of the Clio RS 182. I'm looking to replace it.

Anyone got a genuine Renault set of timing tools for sale ? I'm interested in buying them.

Thanks so much for this... will check it out tomorrow and feed back.

That's a really interesting piece of information... I'm going to take the mechanism out tomorrow and check to see. It does feel like something's snapped or come off though because the driver side feels like it isn't connected to anything [I can move it around with my hand] while the passenger...

Great stuff.

Great... thanks for that guys.

Thanks so much Billy... that's the same part number on the assembly that was given to me with the car. Are there links to the the people breaking 182s here ?

Thanks for this Billy, really helpful. I'll have put a shout out to see if anyone's breaking a 182... there are a few standard Mk2 Clio ones on eBay which is why I was wondering if they were the same as the 182.

Thanks for getting back to me... hope it's something simple like that. You mean the entire assembly is identical on all UK Mk2 Clios ? They all have the left hand drive wipe i.e, clear the passenger side more than the driver's side ?

Shortly before I bought the car, the owner had replaced the front wiper mechanism - he gave me the one he removed in a box. The replacement one now appears to have failed today [in the pouring rain :(]. I haven't taken it apart yet, so don't know what's gone wrong but it would seem the...

I've posted another thread elsewhere but have been low on useful responses, so apologies for doing it a second time here. I'm getting a P0130 code on my 182. I've replaced both O2 sensors. The precat is switching as expected [from around 0 to 750mV] and the post cat is sitting somewhere...

Good thread. I just discovered the 182 PAS pump is no longer available. Anyone able to recommend somebody good who rebuilds them for a reasonable price ?

It's all I've got access to unfortunately :(

A few more questions Louis, I hope you can help with. I bought a new Renault post cat sensor and fitted it this evening. We hooked up the Solus again to look at live data. The post cat sensor sat at 410mV or so until the engine temp reached 91C and then started to fluctuate... it eventually...

My pump's very noisy... sounds like I have a supercharger... I'm not using the car on track and just wondered if anyone had gotten a decent standard pump off eBay or elsewhere they'd recommend ?

That's good to know. The post cat sensor was registering 410mV whether plugged in or out. I think that value is an ECU generated default ? When I plugged the post cat sensor cable into the pre-cat sensor, it registered 1.295V and stayed at that value. Does that make sense ?

The pre-cat Lambda sensor was recently replaced on my 182 and it's still posting a fault code. So a friend and I hooked a Solus up today and looked at the voltage being sent by each of the sensors using a live data run. We then unplugged each sensor to see effect. It would seem that the post...

@Vaughan In post 142 he's just slotting it in to show us that it went easy. You're right, it would be bolted in when you're doing the job. In terms of car performance, mine drove absolutely fine with the timing out. It pulled fine through the rev range and topped out nicely too. All the...
