Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples Mick, the fault itself is that when I hit 6 thousand revs (sometimes earlier though) the needle starts bouncing as if I were hitting the limiter. When it does this it turns on the ESP + SERV light, which stay...

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples yes, indeed. Ill start with the cheapest and work my way up till the fault is gone

cant these be replaced with the "flat roller" bearings (hope its the right name). You know, the ones with the cylinder rollers instead of the ball bearings. Ive heard/read somewhere that these are heavier duty? BTW, OEM renault are SKF/ SNR bearings. Mine came in a skf box but the bearing is...

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples Its not really the price that bothers me (it does bother me in a way tho, if my car were a jetta or an ibiza i could get the same stuff done at the dealer for 200 quid tops). Here in mexico somrenaultr...

Im sure the fuse cover will have a diagram?

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples Update-- after a week at the dealers, they came up with: tdc sensor and loom Map sensor Accelerator potentiometer coolant sensor It all comes to 500 quid, done at the dealer's. Does it look right? I...

my172 ph2 has the fuel filter right in the middle of the car, in front of the fuel tank, outside and under the car. You could check for that although youve removed the pump?? You could run the pump without a filter so if it runs ok then the bad bits are the filter tho..

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples 2 days at mail dealership, still no answer..

yup.. strut attatchments would be the top mounts. New oem mounts (or similar) or solid mounts would get you throug mot.

same think Ive always thought.. except you can map a car with the rs tuner and then take the map from the mapped car and that's an instant universal map, right? That is, 1 rs tuner is all takes to unlock all the maps. Dont get me wrong, I have no intention of stealing henks work. Im guessing...

the way I see it you can use galleto or similar to upload the new ecu map. The license only allows you to use the RS tuner, but there are other ways to remap the ecu. If the map is generic, then you could even use the CLIP to remap the car i guess.

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples cleaned the sensor, plugged everything bakc and the car wouldnt start. I removed the sensor again, bent the connectors to insure proper contact, etc. This time the car started. I went out for a ride and hit...

Hmmm... so basically whats is keeping everyone from using galleto or similar to map their cars using henks files (besides ethics, that is)?

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples update... I pulled the spark plugs out (I had changed them recently so I didnt think there could be anything wrong with those). Anyway, I had a bit of oil in the first spark plug "tube" (cylinder 1?). Anyway...

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples wireset =HT leads (sorry about the american english lol)

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples 200 quid later I have a genuine renault wireset and still no joy. Any ideas?

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples Im sourcing a new set as i writr this

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples not completely , took out the car for a blast down a the highway for some 60 kilometers. The car revs freely all the way to 7000+, the shiftstick lights up, but if I hit the limiter I get the ESP + service...

Re: Mystery fault--electric fault light, ESP, MAP, TPS, and rev limiter.Help me ples so... while you guys in britain were sleeping, I decided to go over the plugs, leads, and coil pack. And (fkc me sideways, 4 times)... one of my HT leads was at fault. No, really. Replaced HT lead. The car...

Ok, so it all started a couple of weeks ago, some 400 kilometers away from home. I was doing some highway driving when the car started hitting the limiter at 6000 revs. Actually it started as a judder, kinda like a misfire, but not quite, as I tried to overtake another car. I did some tests and...

sorry to bump this one up . Worked it out:checked all the fuses and turns out some random fuse was blown (uch fuse i think).

just wanna let you all chaps know, the OEM HT leads for the vr6 are made by BERU. BERU makes the OEM HT leads for the clio. There is a slight differennce between the cables but I assure that they work perfectly, and at a fraction of the price (I paid some 30 quid for my set). The mate that...

Ok, I opened up the switch assambly and one of the old buttons was fried. (pass side). An hour later and a soldering iron later I transplanted one of the neww buttons into the old assambly. I put everything back together but still no joy, pass window still does not work. I tried bridging the...

Anyone has one? I´d really appreciate it. Heres what's happening: 1.-The button on the driver´s side that controls the passenger window got stuck on "up", meaning that I cant lower the passenger window. 2.- I removed the switch (drivers side), and sure enough, the "passenger side" button is...

1.- bearing might collapse, you dont want that really. 2.- bearing itself should be some 30 quid, not really a diy job unles you can press out the old bearing out. 3.- Front bearings hardly ever go. Rear bearings do go. In order to know which bearing, build up enough speed to get the drone...

that is the auxiliary belt tensioner, when it goes bad it sort of bends. You need a new one basically. ASAP.

lol just had a failed coilpack last week, it sounded like a scooby.

lol too bad. Sounds killer though! On the first past of the vid you can se ITBs. I useally dont really like loud, but this car sounds sick!

Basically, how can I get this sound out of my 172? The closest thing ive heard was a clio race car. Anyway, anyone care to share how to get this noise out of a clio? I'm betting it feels like 700 bhp just from the noise. cheers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAXGuD_f3Kw

I think there's a rs tuner log somewhere around here where a guy (tekilator or the likes of that) had a k&N apollo 57 intake, the one that's routed to where the acoustic valve is (basically where the OP wants to place his filter). This log showed the coldest air and, according to the post, the...
