horrible

had a 172 in at work with the k-tec quiet system and i would say its a bit louder than the magnex.

yes the guidelines are there for normal road use and dont take into account different oils so there will be some variation between what people are getting.really though a healthy engine should have at least oil pressure around or greater than those values no matter what oil is in it under normal...

no matter how old you are you make a mistake at some point in your life.sorry to hear about the accident mate but thats all it was an accident so try not to beat yourself up about it because it sounds like there was nothing you could have done.

your pressure will be a lot higher when cold due to the oil being thicker.forgot to mention that the quoted figures are with the engine at normal operating tempurature.

put a multimeter across the pump terminals and check there is a feed present when you pull on the wiper stalk.if there is a feed then the pumps knackered.if there is no feed then recheck all fuses and check the wiper stalk.

if there are 2 yellow wires then there the after ing feeds,red is battery feed and the other which i think is orange is the starter wire.all this can be checked with a test light though.

nothing to worry about there mate.renault guidelines are- 1 bar @ idle 3 bar @ 3000rpm yours is well above so nice and healthy.

i normally get 40% off parts like brakes so well have to see.let you know tomorrow anyway.

most likely to be the clutch thrust bearing but chatters can also be caused by worn shaft bearings but that is rare and a worst case scenario anyway.

sorry to be off topic but dogmaul i forgot them prices will let you know tomorrow,sos bud.

one of the red wires is a 12v battery feed.the yellow is after ingnition and the orange is for the starter.just check them with a test light to find out what they are.

the sump plug is defo not an allen key.

you can sometimes get them changed even if the manufactures warranty has run out.the fab number is definatly in the faulty range.give renault customer services a ring and moan about it and they might stump up for the cost.

difficult to say without hearing it but the noise does sound like a bearing noise somewhere.get a mechanic to check it out if your worried.

the later single point injection 1.4 campus r5s are quite nippy not sure about bhp.probably about 65bhp something like that.

poss excessive play in:- 1,track arm 2,track rod end 3,lower ball joint poss worn or damaged:- 1,shocker tops or the bearings 2,outer anti roll bar bushes

aye replace the whole unit instead of just popping a new ball in.

check all the alternator/battery connections and make sure the aux belt tension is ok.

i bet the supersprint has just improved low down torque so reducing the power kick you feel at about 4500>5000rpm.mines seems to pick up at 4500 but it really kicks in at 5000rpm.

there is only 1 pad type for the clio 2 small engine models.you only need the make for really old clios as they had 2 different caliper designs using lucas or bendix pads.just so you know your pads will be made by lucas or trw.

possibly exhaust,heat sheild or rear engine mount.get it checked to be sure.

are you on about clio 2 phase 1 and 2? the light lenses are interchangable but you might have to change the wiring locations.

a bit cheaper than k-tec then.

there is a whine from the f4r engine when cold.it is just the oil pump.there is a renault tech note about the problem but the solution is just to fit a different sump with some soundproofing plates on it.they dont do any internal engine repairs as the noise is considered normal.as for any...

make sure the bias valve isnt over adjusted(allowing to much pressure through to the rears) although this would only cause them to lock under braking and not make them constantly stick on.sounds more like a sticking caliper etc thats the cause of your problem.you dont want all the braking at the...

is it an automatic or manual gearbox?

check the sealing ring as ben says and maybe fit some new springs.also check the rest of the exhaust is correctly fitted so not excessivly straining the front pipe foint.

if the filter is secure and safe i dont see why not.

the group n ecu might fit but you wont gain anything as the 182 is more powerful anyway.i would have thought the actual ecu on a 182 and 172 are the same its just the mapping thats different.
