What car is this on?

No, you are right... I didn't realise the 182 ran Bosch ESP 8.x which does indeed apply the brakes to alter trajectory

That's basically how an EGR valve works which in turn actually lowers emissions but would this also cause the sulphurous smell? If the AFR was indeed detected as being rich the ECU would attempt to counter this by trimming the fuelling and ignition. I honestly don't think its a CAT issue and...

I know, right... Who the hell do I think I am taking personal time off to be with my family when there are broken Renaults in need of rescue. Absolutely zero dedication to the cause Ron, apologies hehehe

Take the CAT off and run the car to see if it fixes it but I've never seen a genuine CAT collapse to date.

Another thing to check, spark plug wells... Any build up of fluids (oil, water, etc) as this will cause missfires

A blocked CAT won't make the car run rich though. The sulphur smell will be unburnt fuel entering the CAT which is most likely due to incorrect ignition (so spark plug, lead, coilpack). Have you checked the wiring for signs of damage? Are ignition drivers 1 & 2 firing ok? Diagnostic kit is...

Corrosion normally from moisture

Easy enough job but unfortunately we've now closed for the holidays. Pop in and I'll sort it for you

The UCH has no cororlation to the throttle circuit I'm afraid. More likely to be signal I consistency on the two circuits

I seriously doubt the CAT has actually collapsed. You need to check the injector trigger and ignition dwell times to see what's happening. Then, if all is well here and you're sure the timing is okay move on to the other things often overlooked: fuel pressure and compression/leak down tests needed.

My old Clio on BC's ran beautifully on the road and as they were adjustable, they worked brilliantly on the track but it wasn't that low.

Renault also do a repair loom section for the cabin but it's £53.44 (Part Number: 7701057057)

Seriously, if weight is such a driving constraint then ultimately a custom wiring loom is required.

It spiders everywhere; Dash, interior electrics and chassis TBH,, the weight reduction cutting it out gives just isn't worth it, hence why most cable tie it up and just leave it. You could lose just as much weight by having a bigger poo before going out on track.

You can indeed remove it yes, but most people cable tie it up and out the way... just in case you ever want to g back ("I never want to go back" - Famous last words)

Most likely broke because the tensioner was seized - The tool above looks okay though and likely to do the job providing the pivot point is fluid still

It's the pump blocked internally... they can be stripped and cleaned but the plastic is extremely brittle so replacing it with a new unit will be far easier.

It doesn't actually apply the brakes for you but rather adjusts the level of braking force applied to each wheel based on trajectory vs wheel speed signal when you're hard on the stop pedal. It's more of an extension program to ABS in reality but a pretty bloody good one as far as they go.

It shouldn't do but from the sounds of it the adaptive are all wrong meaning a reset is required.

I had my 6 replaced today by Apple due to faulty Mute switch. My first ever experience with AppleCare/Genius Bar and by ek, is it worth it! All data backed up, new handset had data restored and confirmed as being ALL my data (Pictures, Video, Apps, Calendar, Mail, Etc)... Awesome service.

Look like non-gen leads anyway so did you a favour in that case hehehe

There's only two and they're both in the engine bay. It does indeed sound earth related

Maybe ask to see the receipt for the belt change and call the garage. We regularly get calls asking to confirm work was actually done... or not in the case of a recent eBay vehicle

To answer the original question: When the wife see's the actual bill

That's why I initially said it *May* not even be timing related but it's the easy one to blame. Without having the car in view and being able to get balls deep in it, it's impossible to say for sure. At least he didn't name and shame as reputations can be destroyed over silly things like this.

Probably been rectified and made to sign a silence order

Here you go

I am assuming it is the adaption pieces you were after for the pulley grip tool?

Another thing they could've done would be to go to the special tools board and grab the part number from there on the yellow ID sticker. All main dealers have to have this setup as part of the annual franchise audit
