    Tools for Diagnostics

    From my experiences using an ELM 327a on my 2005 182 Cup (CB21) you can only get very limited connectivity to the engine ECU. Even then, only certain programs will work and they will not pick up all the engine fault codes. I doubt very much you will get any airbag info from the OBDII port using...

    K-Tec delivery charges...

    Funnily enough there's a simlar thread on OzRS Forums regarding their freight charges for freighting gear to Australia (you can probably imagine the prices!) Some people have bought off Demon Tweeks instead for a substantially lower cost. But of course they don't sell the specialist stuff like...

    new useful tools!

    What apps are you using? Try the trial version of this software and see if it works: http://www.glmsoftware.com/Default.aspx It's got some good stuff on it like a "digital dashboard" function. I'd be interested to see if you can get it to work- it won't on mine.

    new useful tools!

    James, have you tried out that OBDII interface yet on your Clio? I bought the same one about 6 months ago (for another car, but have tried it on my 182) and found it didn't work too well on my RSC. I then got in contact with a local guy who writes OBDII software and he checked it out for...

    What torque should my 182 wheel bolt's be !!!

    My Haynes Clio manual (01-04 y reg) says 90Nm. Even my V6 Suzuki 4WD only has them tightened to 100Nm!

    Clio codes and details.

    Yes, you're sort of right. I got some info from a very knowledgeable person after posting the question here. So it's emissions. EU03 would be the stricter of the two IIRC?

    Clio codes and details.

    A quick question- my 182 Cup is a May 2005 build and is a CB21. What's the difference between a CB21 and CB22? (Going by the above list it should be a CB22???)

    own Diagnostics check

    It certainly does- and gives the real fault definition in English, not some generic code. Also you can manually activate certain actuators eg. fuel pump, thermo fan, oxy sensor heaters, A/C compressor etc. RSTuner will also cover more codes than what a "generic" reader will...

    what is the actual 172 wheels offset...?

    Is that all for 7" wide rims?

    Rear end twitching over bumps...

    I've noticed the same thing with my 182 Cup - I even went to the extreme of pulling the rear shocks out and bench testing them in a vice by hand. I've got to say they are some of the hardest shocks I've ever tested, IMHO that could be part of the problem and cause the skipping. BTW mine's done...

    where can i get a set of these :O

    I'm fairly sure my 182 cup wheels have got ET45 stamped into them.

    Powerflex ARB bushes - Oversteer?

    Yes, if you stiffen the front ARB then you'll get more under steer. If there was a rear ARB and you stiffened that then you'd get more oversteer.

    starting problem!

    Could be the starter motor not disengaging quickly enough? But that's something you'd expect on the 10yr old car- not a 182....

    max offset at 182 cup

    Going by what's written on my 182 Cup rims the offset is +45mm for the 16x7 rim. I'd imagine you should be easily able to go to +40mm without any problems -which will push them out further by 5mm? Perhaps jump underneath and check for clearance.

    182 Not turning over

    Can you hear the starter motor solenoid throwing out? Sounds like it might not be activating? Sometimes thumping the solenoid with something solid while someone holds the key in the START position will bring them to life (if that is the problem?)

    Temp guage...

    Mine failed on my 2005 182 Cup about 6 months ago. I picked it up when data logging with an RS Tuner, the temp would sit at -30 odd and then suddenly jump up to the correct reading. I only noticed the gauge vary a couple of times. It would also only do it randomly. They replaced the sender and...

    Torque settings for 182 front suspension?

    Your Haynes has got it listed. Wishbone bushes are 90Nm, the other you'll have to look up!

    Jacking point bent

    Have you tried using them with the factory jack yet? We spent quite a bit of time straightening the one on a friend's 172 only to have it fold straight over again when we tried jacking it. :(

    Jacking point bent

    A bit of a technicality, but those bits aren't "chassis rails", Clio's don't have a chassis as they are a monocoque constuction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocoque If they did have a chassis using a trolley jack would be easy. Those rails are nowhere near as strong as proper chassis rails...

    Jacking point bent

    Out of interest the Haynes manual for Clios says to use wood under the sills when using a trolley jack - and never to use one anywhere else. Sounds a bit dangerous to me! I've actually given up using trolley jacks on new cars as inevitably wherever you place them will result in some sort of...

    PhaseII Sub Frame photos or measurements please!

    They are simply claiming mine is "normal" at 15mm. So I guess you could could interpret that they are saying it is 15mm, but they haven't actually come straight out and given a definitive answer. In fact the dealer said they skirted around giving a measurement with an explanation of why the hole...

    PhaseII Sub Frame photos or measurements please!

    I found out there's one in Australia, but it's sitting in a Renault warehouse somewhere in Melbourne which is 800km from where I live. They also want AUS$1900 for it - a brand new 182 Cup (luxury model with all the fruit) was AUS$34000 new.... :mad:

    Subframe mount lower suspension arm hole wear - check your Clio!

    A cut and paste from OZRS of the latest news: Another update: I talked to the RAA Technical Department this morning (Roadside assistance organisiation for UK people.) They weren't too sure if it was an issue or not from the pics of mine and the three 172's. I'm going to forward more photos...

    Subframe mount lower suspension arm hole wear - check your Clio!

    The bolt has been reversed for the photo- it actually gets inserted through that end and the non-threaded section beneath the bolt head would make contact there. ;) For anyone who thinks there is no movement, here is a pic from the same car with a view of the marks left by the bush inside the...

    Subframe mount lower suspension arm hole wear - check your Clio!

    I'd agree, there's movement there and the bush shouldn't be moving at all.

    Subframe mount lower suspension arm hole wear - check your Clio!

    OK, one of the Aussie guys found this old thread from 2006 mentioning the same problem. Note the size of the hole and the vehicle has done only 4500km! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=133062&highlight=lower+control+arm

    PhaseII Sub Frame photos or measurements please!

    I was wondering if anyone has access to a new or near new PhaseII subframe? I desperately need a photo or measurements of the diameter of the rear most suspension lower arm (wishbone) bolt hole on each side. Basically I need to know (if when brand new) the rear most hole is 15mm diameter...

    Subframe mount lower suspension arm hole wear - check your Clio!

    I've got no doubt in my mind that they're not telling the entire truth about the hole size. I will be taking it a lot further. ;) I've even thought about ordering a new sub frame on the condition that they'll pay for it if the hole isn't larger like they claim. Apparently there are none in...
