Ok so i've had my 197 for a few weeks and everything has been going well until tonight, Been out with a mate to get a munch and it felt as if under braking the car was pulling to the left, I put my window down and again under braking i can hear a creaking from the drivers side caliper ! On...
Renault are slacking when it comes to servicing tbh, Picked up my 197 a couple of weeks back and when i got in the car the same thing was flashing so i walked back in and they checked the system and confirmed they had serviced it 2 days before, A mechanic came out to the car and reset it then to...
Baffles in the back boxes presumably or the exhaust heat shield above them, welcome to the ownership of an RS mate.... The exhaust rubbers may feel fine when you shake the exhaust but im nye on certain that the rubbers are fubared.. Its a very common problem with the mounts
Im sure the "0000" indicates the oil level so as oil is consumed and the level drops the diplay will show fewer "000"...
Thats off the top of my head anyway. My 182 used to display "oil ok" but its a different car to yours, I couldnt even tell you what my 197 says as i dont look tbh
Ok just an update, I spoke with my local dealer from who i purchased the car from and they have booked it in next Friday for the CAT to be checked, They said if its degrading or defective they will replace under warranty no questions so some good news i suppose, The noise from the CAT has got...
slight rattle from the CAT, The salesman said its prob just carbon deposits as the car had been sitting around for a couple of months so i left it as that, Well i've had the car for just over a week covering about 400 miles and the noise is still there...
The only way i can describe the noise...
You want the induction bend right ?
Have you tried searching for a Samco hose ?? I just checked on K-Tec but couldnt see anything but maybe give them a ring mate
EDIT: I did just check for your engine size though as not sure if the Samco bends from a 1*2 will fit ?
Erm im getting 22.8 mpg at the mo will fast road driving, The 197 doesnt feel as tame at slow speed its like it wants to fly off all the time, Where as my 182 could be driven sensibly.. I think its all down to the 197's 6 speed gearing tbh.. Either way i dont care as i love it
oh and Da-iawn =...
Well my 182 had the half leather alacantra like yours i presume ?, the 197 had a few options like full leather, Recaros or just normal seats, mine has the normal seats but they are very comfy and supportive, they look very buckety and hold you in all the time, The ride is awesome feels like a...
Happend to me, Was at the dealer just having a nose really, got asked if i wanted to test drive the 197 - wasnt initially impressed then i had another go the next day and loved it !, 6 speed box is fantastic plus it sounds pure sex, looks the nuts too, I got a black 197 with the cup spoiler on...
In all seriousness though you should drive one or go out in one, Total transformation from the 182, I used to worship my 182 but now i got the 197 i love it even more, granted it dont feel as quick but it defo is imo, Its just the whole car itself its a winner for me, Havent looked back and im...
