er, i thought there wa only 1 coil pack which sits at the back of the plenham housing held by 4 bolts ? 4 ht leads feed to the plugs from that ??
or maybe i cooking the wrong kettle of fish....
depends. general system works along the lines of
coolant sensor (+others?) gives feedback to ecu about temp
ecu provides dash with indication of temp
ecu switches rad fan on when indicated temp via sensor passes a certain threshold.
thermostat is passive component which redirects flow of water...

looks as tho it does the trick, might have a play with this as am wanting to check the sensors whilst looking at my starting problem
just ordered a set :) front one was especially in need of replacement as water had seeped into it and was looking messy. Just asked for the border on the front to match the car - flame red :D
depends on whether you have given admin a reason to check the logs (should they exist)
I know most of us are geeks but there are better things to spend your spare time on than checking access logs....
I get the impression on them giving a better all round car and leaving the grunt for the megane. No doubt they could make it quicker but a clio that is too close to the meggy and significantly lighter could possibly steal its thunder ?
I dunno
fs theres always one ...............
too many days of my life have been lost scratching my head reading man samba so that i can see fileshares that take me 3 mins to setup in win.
inevitably i reformat as I can print a word doc to a network printer from scratch in under 5 mins.
Takes me that...
do it yersen
open up command promt (start, run, type 'cmd' in xp)
navigate to the folder (ie d: cd movies)
then type "dir > textfile.txt" which does the lot into the file textfile.txt
can do variot oprions like /b if you just want files n folders etc
hint - do dir /? for a full listing of swicthes
er gpn does have idle @ 1300 iirc.
If you have connected a virgin ecu to your car and started it, it is paired and will require unlocking to connect to another vehicle due to the immo data.
re 'learning mode' all this is is the abilty for this ecu to adjust fuelling etc to light mods done on the...
Personal loan = you independantly get a bank / building society / parents to lend you the money and then your responsible to spend it how you wish and pay it back
Finance = (usually by people you get the vehicle from / agent) where they own the vehicle and as you pay it off it slowly becomes...
if youve paired it to your car it will need unlocking before using it.
I have a gpn for sale for the newer units if your after one :p (not wanting to junp on pmurray's toes of course ;) )
quick q just to confirm something on the coolant sensor. Does this give the indication for the temp on the dash ? Had argument with renault eng and wasnt told. If so then the display moves correctly when warm / cold etc so unless there is a 2nd sensor providing the reading it isnt that. I...
plugs deffo changed as I did them myself a week ago. My only thought is that if it was running in the garage for a few hours then maybe overheated as no airflow so poss coolant sensor as had been suggested earlier. Coils have been said to me before but curious if they are related to petrol or...
like f**k, that idiot took my money and right royally screwed me !!
Yes he may be cheap but you try getting yer £200 back from paypal or your cc when you have a nice paperweight for an ecu cos I didnt.
Altho if you are after a gpn i did get it sorted :p
not quite, group n is a renault product which makes use of 'light' mods like IK and exhaust work and is a replacement ecu which u literally plug and play on your car. A remap tkaes the 'map' area from your current ecu and is tweaked to allow better fuelling etc to take fulla dvantage of mods...
hmm have you got the other caf from under the box going anywhere ? iirc this just clips to a compartment near the front of the engine where the normal caf runs. Havent seen any 'dual' caf systems to feed a stock box which could be good.
Many, many moons ago (approx 18 months +) the pikey in me agreed when a friend of mine gave me a 3/4 full plastic container of petrol from his van which he used for his generator (cue rightfull abuse and stoning) to which i poured into my 172 (gulp) after a few nights sotrage in my garage. On...
Re: Complaint to Renault - update - Renault have lost me as a future customer
stuff like this makes me sad and mad. Renault make some great cars but have some of the most appauling customer services on the planet. I too have fallen foul of them (altho thankfully not to your extent) and it...
Hmm i thought it reset anyway on every refill. Average for me is ~ 33 and missus is bout 36 :p altho managed 45 on motorway coming back from wales during 6 weeks hols with no accoustic valve and a nice shiney new warranty exhaust .
Ahem did worry me when i 1st got it tho and was doing about 20...
combination that i have bob hope of getting any further warranty work from renault dealer due to my accoustic valve incident plus i love to do stuff myself and im skint atm means ive ordered a set of NGK PFR6E-10 from local motor factors. I correct in thinking they need to be 1.0mm (maybe...
