Thats what happened last time i saw a plug like that ( another 172 )!! Even punched a hole through the coolant gallery in the head and lost that!
Be prepared for a big bill!
Let me get this right? You took your car in for a cambelt change and dephaser?! it was driving fine?!
Then the bloke told you it had no compression and it's insides were rattling?! What the F*ck?!!?!
The ticking noise sounds like the carbon canister and this is located in the drivers wheel...
Re: Diesel in a 182
Hmm, see what they say, it sounds very much like it could be a pre cat 02!
Have had a couple just randomly fail and cause similiar faults.
Let me know how you get on!! Don't let them try and give you any bullshit either!
Re: Diesel in a 182
It doesnt sound happy, are you sure its defo dodgy fuel, and not an oxy sensor problem!?
Could just be a coinsidence?? (sp) Is there any local garage you trust to do a diag check without paying renault £80?!
We will check it for you but it's a long drive in a poorly car!
