Nope never came in the Uk with sunroof was an option abroad though I think. Wiring looms are a pain there so many typres could just be a redundant plug. As for the spare plug what colour are the wires I can have a look up for them. The sensor is just there to work out the temperatire in...

Another word is geek. The dci 100 is the best and easy fitment as such since the mounts are all there but an intercooler no use unless you start running more fuel. You need to decide how far to push the car or how much to spend a remap on there own can get upto 85hp quite safly they have...

Link doesn't work for me so cannot be sure. But it should be.

I'll send Kofi Annan the pdf on how to do it in a second he's been asking for ages.

It stuffen up the fornt shell a bit but its only worthwhile if its proerly bolted to the struts and good and thick.

Check the air filters not sucked up a load of leaves.

£150 or so new I think there some cash back if you return your old one as they resue them. Yep will mean 44 teeth all 172's are the same. Ring renault specilaist breakers in accrington (just stick that into google the number has 666 or somehting near the end of it) and ask for Matt he should...

Pressure depend what you like I'd run about 32 front and 30 at the back. The dci 65 as standard never got an alarm it was a £300 extra. The way to tell is do you have the sensor on the door pillars and a flashing red light down by the gearstick? If you do then you have the alarm. 1.1 bar...

Arright sorry didn't know. There Ok the 1.2's budget price engine plus they keep dealerships in warently work. ALso they keep the people who right tech notes in business.

I've no need to do it. I'm happy enough with my car its got a cheap to run engine in it and I do loads of miles. If I were to do a transplant it wouldn't be a petrol due to DVLA difficulties I'd do a VAG 1.9 diesel. The other thing is I'd do a whole job on the car binning the old loms etc...

Your has doesn't have an electric throttle body most lille as more phase 1's don't. Its the electric bodies which are the problem.

If it needs a new cat and your under 3 years and 60k old then its a warently job ie you don't pay ring Renaul Uk say its not fit for purpose if it fails in the warently term regardless of what they say.

172 PS wich is different than the Uk measure of Hp convered to Uk power its 168 or so but most care left the facotry with 166 or so unoffically.

Don't touch the actual butterlfy itself. Else you run the risk of the throttle body being junked. Use some carb cleaner and tissue to clan the areas.

I think the middle is about 3 bar.

Its supposed to be 3.5 bar at 3k but using the wrong filters and wrong oil messes about with that should drop away to about .5 bar at idle. The biggest thing is check the pump works and the gauge works and it does up and down (abelityl slowly) as the engine geoes to higher resv some pumps are...

Power modifications are easy on them with it being a common engine.

You don't need to take the dash out to change the stereo. Just stick 4 small screwdrivers down the 4 holes in the stero. Fubar has a guide on his website on how to remove the dash top if you want.

If your chnaging pads then doing disk as well not much extra work just two bolt holding the caliper bracket on and two thorx bolt on the disk (if there still there). Only takes 5 minutes or so if your taking your time a side extra.

Thats normal gearbox behaviour you can pull a car out of gear if its nicly balenced putting it back more difficult got to ballence the revs. Its a good skill to try and master best doing it on courtesy car as at first you mess it up and its damaged the gearbox. Its a good think to be able to...

Rust on the rear archs Rust ont he back of the boot (they all do it though) rust on the bottom of the drivers doors plus the sills. Damaged jacking points/bent sills. Check the PAS pumps Ok (if its ok then its got to be faulty they all are bad) Check for play in the stearing column (common...

Easy yep. Get a Haynes manaul is the best way or become a member on here as there a guide in the forum members are how to do it on a 172 which is much the same.

Flakon as there the ones i don't know and the other two I've heard arn't ideal realy.

£10k seems steap you could get a VAG engine for less fitted. Assuming its a DIY jobbie then CTR engine and box say £2k £1k for stand alone ECU then £1k for other bits shafts etc use the normal radaitor.

TDc sensor sounds most likly problem.

Contis personally if your happy with them.

As said depends how bad say 10hp 10hp or so but your only at 166 stock anyway. MPG won't be affected if anyhting might be better as mapping is more accurate. Only negative s if you use the extra power more.
