Has anyone found a solution to the high speed noise which kicks in around 110 mph. I seem to remember that it might have been related to the air con or something. It is like a whistle/buzz drone sound.KnightAzul [Edited by KDF on 7/19/2005 11:37:23 AM]

After my first service on the 182 I noticed that there was a new vibration type "sound" coming from the front. It turned out to be the engine cover, which I guess the mechanics had to remove and put back for the service. It was not loose by any means. So I removed it, and hey presto, no...

I seemed to remember reading a while ago on this forum that a good trick for stopping flies sticking to the front bumper/grill in the summer was to spray a layer of WD40 on them ... Is this true? anyone tried it and does it work? KnightAzul

Hi, Had my first service on my 182 and mentioned to them about the famous knocking noise when lifting of the accelerator in 1st and 2nd. As per one of the most read threads on this forum, I had a visible gap between the engine mount and its surround. To my surprise they listened keenly, and...

Hi, After a few weeks of trying to locate a persistent rattle I have located it to be from inside the glovebox. If I press against the "ceiling" inside the box the rattle goes away. Any ideas what this might be? A cable resting on the "ceiling" or something? Do I have to remove the dash to...

Maybe my ears are becoming more finely tuned, but I have started to hear a clunk/knocking sound from the rear (exhaust?) on my 182. It happens only when: - Switching engine off (two clunks ...) - Immediately after taking my foot off of the accelerator at low speed in the lower gears (one...

Hi, Could someone tell me how I can remove the front air vents on a 182, the ones which are immediately adjacent to the doors (not the centre ones). I dont want to force them out by pulling if they are screwed down from the inside! There is a plasticy rattling coming from behind right hand...

I gave my black 182 a well deserved wash (but not polish) this weekend and it came up looking a treat, or so I thought ... With direct sunlight on the bonnet and from a certain angle it would seem that there were loads of fingerprints, which moved with my motion. Not too sure what it the cause...

Sorry, but heres what really should be an easy question, but I have been unable to find the answer in the 182 manual in the climate control section ... How do I get outside air through the vents inside of the car without involving the AC, heater, climate control, or whatever. I know I can...

I went to my local ICE store and was recommended the following setup: - Alpine 9827RM (complete with stalk & interface leads) - MB Quart 13cm Front & Tweeters, + Rear (Coax) I was looking for a "good quality" MP3, WMA, CD player + direct replacement speakers. I didnt want to invest in an...

Has anyone managed to accurately measure the oil level with the dipstick in the 182? Firstly the dipstick position is pretty diffcult to get to, and secondly everytime I pull it out is has oil smeared/drops at points on the stick above the max mark. Is there some secret knack to pulling it out...

Ive got the stock 182 ICE installation at the moment: Renualt speakers and HU (not sure who the manufacturer is) and Alpine 6 CD changer. Overall the setup is a little on the tinny side. What would be my best way to get more bass into the setup? (answers of increase the bass volume on the HU...

I have noticed that in 4th gear between 3 - 3.5k rpm my 182 seems to do nothing for the initial travel of the accelerator. It seems to be the same as not even pressing the accelerator with the car decelerating! 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear all respond with even the slightest touch of the accelerator...

Hi, Got a niggling problem with the standard radio for the 182. When listening to the radio every now and again there is a slight pause (< 1 sec of silence) and then the radio continues. No idea why this is happening - probably got some feature activated? Any help? KnightAzul

Anyone know of a good online shop where I can get decent non-slip quality made-to-measure floor mats for the 182? The ones which come with the car are pretty natty and start to curl at the ends after a while. Thanks, KnightAzul

... remove the plastic cover on the inside the boot hatch on a 182. Its the plastic cover which also has the pull handle to shut the boot. I can only find one star headed screw and I cant believe that it is only this which is holding the cover to the boot (... I know the build quality of Reno is...

Not sure if this is really a problem or just a "running-in" thing. Picked up my 182 last week and have noticed that in the last 3 days it will not start first time in the morning. Its in the garage over night, ambient temp over here (in Madrid) is around 16 - 18 degrees in the garage, so its...

Yesterday I picked up my Clio sport 182 from the dealer after 5 weeks of patiently waiting. Yeeeehar! In that time I had doubted my colour choice, however when I picked it up, it looks awesome ... in black!! I bought it without any options, no cup (didnt like the wheels!). The dealer had...

Hi All, In around 4 weeks time a brand spanking new golden-black 182 Clio will be parked up on my drive way! This forum helped me alot in the choice of this car ... I was umming and arring for weeks about what car to buy. I didnt go for the Cup suspension, and now I have a nagging doubt that...
