While were on the subject of the shift light Im sure I noticed something odd last night.
I was heading home from work and decided to give the car some stick!! In first it was hitting the limiter at around 6750rpm and there was no shift light. In second I was able to rev to around 7250rpm...
£160 sounds cheap considering the robbing b******s charged my £68 for just an oil and filter change a 5k miles :(
Shouldnt the temperature sensor have been covered by the warrenty? Or is that something not covered after the first year?
I had mine done for nothing.
Ive waved or given a nod to fellow 172 owners and been looked at like Im some kind of nutter. The only person Ive flashed is y0z2a and he returned the favour!! ;)
I noticed a couple of beetles do it the other day.
I took it easy, below 3500 rpm up to 625 miles, then I had the occasional thrash until around 700 - 800, by which time I was driving it how its going to get driven for the rest of its ownership by me, hard. ;)
Some people seem to think it does, others dont. Ive never put anything other than Optimax in my Clio. At the very least the detergents in it wont do any harm. Theyll just keep my engine a little cleaner.
Renault recommend 98 ron fuel in the 172/Cup so I dont see why you would want to use...
