you may get a slight power loss with the wrong ecu.why do you think its wrong?

as above,the oil will be thicker so there is a chance of gearchanges being a little notchy until it warms up a bit.

off topic but more interesting,more details for us perverted members please!

the new 182 is avaliable with the option of the cup spec suspension(stiffer springs and shocks).all other parts like wishbones etc are the same.

a warped disc/excessive disc run out would normally be felt through the pedal if you cant feel anything maybe the disc surface is contaminated on one area making the efficiency less on one area of the disc so making the overall brake efficiency reading fluctuate.

coolant temp 80c and above.there isnt an oil temp sensor.

why has my writing got really big even though i turn the size down:confused:

full throttle/near enough full throttle is when it kicks in(when the ecu reads 850+ inlet manifold pressue)

the vetec has an additional cam and valves that cut in when required the 172 just uses a dephasor on the original inlet cam to advance valve timing on that cam only by 16degrees.it only works at full throttle or near enough full throttle(850mbar+ inlet manifold pressure which is near enough full...

it does in all other vehicles the f4r is put in.it took me ages to find a manual that gave the other figure for the 172.nobodys perfect.

williams 1 had id plates the others havent.the later ones are also a different shade of blue.not sure about the other differences.

not sure if there is an actual stamp anymore.you have the id sticker,dash top chassis sticker,window etchings and every ecu on the car contains the vehicle chassis number.

another thing is if your warning light is on the airbags wont deploy in the event of an accident.

depends on outside temp and how hard you drive it.the early rev limiter is active until you are above 80c coolant temp so as soon as the engine will rev past 6500 you are above 80c.sometimes when its quite cold mine takes a while to fully warm up.its the coolant temp the computer moniters not...

all 172/182 f4r engines have vvt.i think the mk2 v6 has vvt as well.looked into the vvt after many discussions and found the following F4R in laguna 2 and megane works between 1450 and 4500 rpm,at a coolant temp above 80c and at full throttle only. F4R in clio 172 works between 1450 and 6500...

front of your service book or pm me your reg and ill get it for you.

it just tricks the ecu to use a stragedy for a colder coolant temp so increasing the richness to suite the colder temp.it adjusts timing and injection duration.

a lot of diagnostic information is done through the multiplex wiring network which the diagnostic connection is wired into.there are other wires in the diagnostic connection also used for diagnosis as well as a power and an earth to power the clip can connection box.although the obd moniters...

handbags at ten paces in here isnt it!

with the right software/equipment you could do but it may be more difficult on later models due to all diagnostics done through the multiplex wiring network.

its the diagnostic computer(clip) connection point.you access all computers/systems inc obd(which is a separate system itself) through this connection.tuning companys cant progamme ecus through this connection its only the renault clip that can programme new software updates through this.the...

you cant fit a boost valve to a 1.2 16v because the standard regulator valve is part of the sender unit in the fuel tank and there is no fuel return from the injection rail.

doesnt the group n ecu improve power/torque through the revs but not nes increase the standard maximum bhp?

nope.1.4 manifold etc wont fit the 1.2.there both completly different engines.

there not nes mapped just for max power either. comprimise-performance(driving hard,full throttle etc) -light throttle conditions(steady normal driving) didnt quite phrase it right but i know what i meant.

thats crazy.proper artwork.

good idea that.

different mapping will alter ing timing,injection duration etc.the rs ecu will have a mapping thats beneficial to driving the engine hard whislt the normal road going ecu is a comprimise between performance,economy and drivabilty under light throttle positions.

shockers alone wont alter the vehicle height its the springs that determine that.as ben says springs is the easiest option and their the only way it would lower the car anyway.

when the roads are quite slippy just jump on the brakes and you can feel the abs working through the brake pedal.if the wheels lock up then you dont have it.but as previous posts have said just look for the warning light when you first start the car is easiest.
