    Confirm my DCi high pressure fuel pump fears

    @HMS Derv Destroyer Pretty sure I did it right. Blocked off the feed back to the pump so no air was taken in. Just ran the car with the pipe on the return nozzle. Engine was cold. Does that make a difference? Had a google and can't find the correct method or specs so that would be ever so...

    Confirm my DCi high pressure fuel pump fears

    Did the leak off test today like this Ran it for 4 minutes with it just above 1k From right to left injector 1....... 106 injector 2....... 108 injector 3....... 117 injector 4....... 97

    Confirm my DCi high pressure fuel pump fears

    Will give the leak off another go tomorrow with a little blocking off. Don't see the problem with second hand injectors. I know they're a fine piece of engineering but with the pressure they have through them they can't be that fragile

    Confirm my DCi high pressure fuel pump fears

    Right chaps. Tried to do a leak off and it stalled after a minute. Starts much easier with brake cleaner. from just the turning over it looks like each injector is giving back about the same as the other although I'm sure you can appreciate its difficult to tell

    Confirm my DCi high pressure fuel pump fears

    Cranks at the same rate as the Clio, it's even got a juicier new battery. Best way to perform leak off? pipes off the returns and hang some bottle off them, never done one. I'll need to send the pump back if it's busted so can't take it apart. Sold the old one now! that was worse though :)

    RenMatt Second hand set from Ren breakers. Believe they check theirs before sending but non the less I'll do a leak off test then.

    Graham's OCD ph2 DCi sport rep

    No really an update but. Vans new diesel pump is busted. Need to replace that. Clio is a little meh at the moment. Had the rear bumper done but....... I'll let everyone else judge that. Got 15" ph3 alloys, top dash, dash display, gear gaiter, wiper, tweeters, colour coded spoiler and parcel...

    Confirm my DCi high pressure fuel pump fears

    Some of you may know I bought a van which had petrol run through it. Ran it for 1 minute on the day I sorted it. Was a little tough to start but I figured that would be the air in the lines. Yesterday I went to start it and it was really difficult. Took 5 attempts before it went into life...

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    it's a murky line. Do best with what you have available to you. People doing these conversions can use their loaf :)

    Differences between 172 and 172 cup, 182 and 182 cup

    From what Dan said a while ago I understand all RHD cars have SMI racks.

    182 umc, ecu, clocks and ignition barrel swap

    it's just completely dependant on how long the ECU bracket take you to get off. It can just come off or like one of ours, I had to cut it off and it took over an hour.

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    That's of course up to you but I never had a problem with mine. The steering rack bolts and far easier to access on the EPAS set up with the subframe in the car. I believe some DCI's do have this problem with notchy racks but the one I bought was brand new ex stock. Smooth as and took some...

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    it completed the set up and mounts directly to the subframe instead of having bushes

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    I think the dci rack is fine but the epas column can wear and cause knocking when under heavy load. One of our dcis does it and the noise is definitely not coming from the rack.

    182 umc, ecu, clocks and ignition barrel swap

    Takes 15 minutes after you've got the ECU cover off (1 minute or 1 day) need a deep 10mm for the ECU, torx bits can't remember size, about t20, for the steering cowel. 13mm for uch bracket and 1 torx under fuse box cover

    clio dci fueling problem, will only run with easy start

    Pump. Got exactly the same problem currently with the kangoo. Can't build enough pressure to start the engine. If you try 5 lots of 10s bursts the pressure gets enough to force a start. Just like with this easy start stuff. lol at the rods. That tickled me.

    Changing seats in a Non-Sport...

    If you don't already have airbags and the put seats with airbags in then they will just be there doing nothing as you can't plug them in. If you try and plug them in but the airbag ecu isn't programmed for them then you will get a light.

    Getting the steering wheel centred after steering rack removal

    Well let's start with the obvious question. What did you do to the track rod ends? Adjust them/nothing/replace

    Help please broken down

    Is there voltage at the fuel pump connector when you turn the key. Check under the rear seat, DC, 12v on a multi meter.

    What made you choose A Clio sport?

    My first one - I'm sitting here trying to think and I can't, must have been having a funny day. In fact I thought they were rather a horrible car and couldn't understand why everyone had one. Second 182 was a gazillion times better than the first so made sense as it was cheap from a mate. All...

    Help please broken down

    Is the coil pack cable firmly on the pack. I've had them fall off before. UCH fuse is a little 5 amp one in the fuse box. Unlikely to be that I think as your car was going and then packed up. Unplug the sensors on the inlet manifold so the ECU runs off its standard base values. Usual fuse, he...

    Spade Connector on the Starter Motor

    swapping digital climate control from cup setup

    Need Dash wiring, climate panel, heater box, climate control section of the climate loom and the blower motor inc resistor pack. Takes quite a long time to swap it all over. Some of the wires are there like the connection to the ecu for the AC are there but it's a bigger job than the results...

    My engine doesn't sound right ?

    Ask your garage. They will have to remove aux to do the cambelt. New belt is probably a tenner. New tensioner is easy and quick to fit but not sure of price.
