    Clio 182 05 plate - no power when accelerating - please help

    clip is diagnostic reader! checked the lambda? usually causes terrible running. perhaps change the temp sensor. unplugging it probs causes the ECU to run with a default value. and perhaps when plugged in it throws a wrong value causing the engine to run terribly.

    Air suspension.. Good Idea?

    its been done. but its a lot of money to spend on a clio, many times the value of the car. and the car will be worth very little as its a tiny number of people itll appeal to, same with trying to sell on the kit afterwards. your young, man the f**k up. sluts go nuts for static drops! ;)

    Aux Belt sqeak

    water pump isnt leaking, its pretty much new! im slightly worried the bearing in it is faulty. so how tight is 130 hertz?! i terms of me turning a 10mm spanner on the tensioner?! how much should i be able to move the belt up and down?!

    This happens far to often!

    i think im going to make some new ones! the pattery ones ive got now have two holes in the backing plate which ive used to cable tie them to the cradle. wont be great but it should give me some kinda of warning if the clip works out rather than just spit the pad out!! i dont see why renault...

    Aux Belt sqeak

    its tensioned in the same way was a cup set up. perhaps ill just tighten is up some more!! 180nm sounds mental! thats double what a wheel nut should be!! how can the tensioning stud handle that?!

    Aux Belt sqeak

    Sounds like my aux belt its squeaking a bit, but its very tight, im almost scared to tighten it up more encase its knackers a bearing somewhere!! is there anything else that can make an aux belt sqeak other than incorrect tension?!

    This happens far to often!

    the times it has happened have been on different clios so its not my spercific retainer im worried about. and ive tried knocking it further towards the outer edge of the car, but its not close enough to get another clip on the outer edge annoyingly! for some reason, mine retaining things are...

    Just over a day to go......

    nice as it is, i think £6.5k is a little steep for an old clio!

    Project *Bag of sand* Phase 1 172

    looks from the for sale advert that it only need the handbrake looking at, if you cant do that for under £500 id be rather astonished!! looks good though! cheap ph1's FTW! i paid £535 for mine! :D

    Happy With Your Car?

    almost, just need to work out why the aux belt is squeaking and stop it.....and get a cage. then ill be happy with mine!! i think all that jazz about german being well build and french being terrible was relevant 10-15 years ago. but since then renault have got their act together a bit, and VW...

    This happens far to often!

    For the second time, one of my clios has spat one of the rear pads out! im pretty sure im installing them correctly, but theyre a terrible design imo. Perhaps im missing something, but theres nothing stopping the little L shaped strip from working its way inwards far enough for the outer pad...

    Window tinting

    place local to me does them for £25 a window. waste of money imo, they look stupid!

    Quite an eventful night "cruising" (including the police)

    that post was hit at a lot more than 5mph! kids hero reversing FTL! i did it once when i was young, cost a lot of money :( and as for him "baiting the police", hes all legal and he can drive exactly where he wants. the police are wasting their own time by following him imo. If they had actually...

    Wheel wobble/vibration

    Im young(ish) Dumb but i sure as hell like to have fun.

    welcome! i also put 17"s on my first clio, had them on there for a while until i joined cliosport... i then stepped backed and realised the truth!

    painting inlet manifold

    dont take the cam cover off!! ever!! you need to fit the correct tools to keep the cams as theyre held down by the cam cover!

    Finished my track project (minus the rollcage)

    yes, you have to cut the existing rear seat rail out! also mounting the seats to the floor means the seat will be out of line with the steering wheel ever so slightly! you have been warned! lol

    Finished my track project (minus the rollcage)

    Thanks guys, yes it is a daily, ive always had stripped out dailys for a few years now so dont plan on getting bored of it any time soon! and i was thinking about a new coolant bottle, already changed the lid of one off a ph2 to make it look a little nicer! lol and track days will be when i...

    Finished my track project (minus the rollcage)

    and maybe changing the rear bumper as the exhaust has made a complete state of it! few other niggles to work through, aux belt is squeaking and i cant seem to work out why, looks like the crank pulley is wobbling which really isnt a good sign! ill let the pics to the talking, really cannot be...

    Pics of Dr Jekyll's Bg182

    perfect! how Renault sport SHOULD have made the 182! (or at least a limited run of them!)

    1.4 16v lowering

    they will more than likely fit, but remember, the 172 spring will be designed to carry a 172 engine. your engine will be much lighter so the car will sit a lot higher than a 172 still! imo, go for coilovers, then you can adjust the, to the perfect height to look like a 172. if not, go for 60mm...

    increase clio performance

    strip it out! only real way to make 1.2s faster! dont bother spending money on performance mods! youll get such a pathetic upgrade you wont even notice it! save for a faster car!

    High Risk Insurance

    It may be thats how many points hes had in the last 5 years, which is do-able without a ban. If hes not had a ban, then most mainstream insurers will insure him id have thought! in the last 5 years im not far off that number and im only 23. can still insure my 172.

    Broken Car

    thats so stupid!! i hope hes put a lot of thought into the stress and strain on the bolts hes using because that could so easily collapse at any minute!! i wonder what its like under hard braking!! lol
