most dealers arent bothered about mods so i wouldnt worry.

its a precat so it is bolted to the rear of the engine just below the turbo. the curve will just be needed to make it fit in the engine bay i suppose.

fuel system will clean the elements before the cylinder though wont they(injectors,pipes,valve seats) but there affectiveness is debatable. does the engine run ok in general? have you knocked the cat with your hand to check if the internal element is collasping(eg-you would hear it rattle as you...

ive never bothered fitting the spring or rod and ive never had any trouble but like mike says if you want one its not warranty and you would have to pay.

oil can contaminate the belt/cause it to disintigrate and make it snap etc. if there is a visible amount of oil i would find the leak and fix it. most likely be a crank or cam seal.

the end digit codes normally apply to slight differences in the engine design(pistons,valves,bearings,head,injection components etc).it might only be a very slight difference but it will be there somewhere. if you look at the k9k engine repair manual you will probably find some differences...

looks like a renault genuine precat but looking at the flanges it must be from an f4r turbo engine(megane 225,avantime,velsatis or laguna 2). edde-its got an oxygen sensor so its not off a deisal.

no the compensator on the cup doesnt have the rod/spring. basically its just there and doesnt do a deal. every renault dealer will renault documentation to back up what ive said.

yes it will just feel a bit more quicker/livelier. renault boxes are a bit sh*te but they normally get a bit smoother with mileage/use.

oh there the same as the five turbo then as they get an earth for the fuel pump from the rear lights.

glad to see your pleased with it espicially after all the hassle youve had.

do a search as this has been discussed plenty of times before. the k-tec filter and relocation kit is probably the best idea assuming you dont have aircon.

ive tried optimax in the past but i cant say ive ever noticed a difference. i just put some through every so often.

the cam pulley bolt must have been very loose to allow the cam pulley to move across that much that it had come of the locating peg. oh well mistakes do happen but leaving a cam pulley loose is school boy error.

£59 for the brakes was a good price.

dci 80 has an intercooler (65 does not) and runs slightly higher injection rail pressures. the ecu software will be different.

ive used both but not noticed any difference so i mainly just use the cheaper 95 ron stuff.

does the engine run ok in general? might be worth having a diagnostic check done then they can check the operation of the oxygen sensor etc. Either the oxygen sensor is faulty or another sensor on the engine is causing it run rough.

ticking all the time or just when starting up the engine or changing one of the heater settings? there is only one fan but quite a few flap moters.

older clios the aerial mast unscrews from the base. on some of the newer models the base and mast are togethor so you have to undo the nut on the inside of the car roof. how old is the car and which model is it?

the cambelt tensioner is near the top just below the cam pulley at the back. defo check the aux belt etc first though.

im sure my mates had some before. £350 whats that for? a complete rear quarter.

cant think of any other models that use the same clutch. maybe investing in a heavy duty performance clutch that would last longer might be an idea.

you can get them from most moter factors etc. have a ring around.

either sunroof frame seal or the aerial base. the interior sunroof trim pulls off and the interior light assembly is easy to remove so have a look to see where its coming from. the second point might be a engine misfire when cold. have a look at the dizzy cap etc.

easy to change but you wont noticably gain anything. theyll last longer than the standard rubber ones though.

just explain this method again as im unsure what you mean. have timed them up with the angle chart before but if you reckon that your way is easier please explain.

there is a plastic filler plug on the front of the gearbox about halfway up. you fill it until it overflows out of this filler plug hole. you need the car level at the time and it holds approx 3 litres.

id give them a ring. get the number off the website. ive only got the 172 pricelist. whenever ive spoken to them though theyve been helpful and interested to listen.

poss the cambelt and/or its tensioner then.
