The 182 was crash repaired and the front frame had had a knock, didnt look too bad but i knew the DCI one was perfect as it had been hunter aligned not long before, they are identical anyway other than the hole for the 4th mount
usually you would be able to go to the dealership and assuming they have not had any major systems upgrades where they didn't migrate old data after a certain date then you would be able to get a print out of the service records, we recently done it for a clio 197. But if the garage has since...
It was thought at one point it was an import from a market where a sunroof was offered, but the pics confirmed its aftermarket.
Thats it back in 2003? i think at a CS meet:
It's an after market sunroof
It's had a hard life. It suffered a cambelt snap when it was only 2 years old and Renault rebuilt it, and was always down on power.
My mate owned it when it was almost new
The range was named differently on the continent from what we got in the UK. A quick Google search finds other tech run cars all with the same interior, wheels and all 1.4 16v so must have just been some special edition
yeah my first thought would be injectors when I read that but if its had 4 new, known good ones then it probably could point towards that connector still playing funny buggers. As the original problem seems to have gone but this one has arrived? repeat the process again id say, then coat it in...
It's only on later cars it does it around 2005. Get one from an older car and it will be fine. You don't have the air circulation button that all the early ones have but if you get one that does it will still work fine
To be honest the pedal and TB are expensive. I would chance my luck with a 2nd hand one first as it's not a massively common fault so you would be unlucky to end up with another faulty one.
HOWEVER that white plug under the fuse box sends so many people down the throttle body and pedal route...
That lower subframe mount on mine looked proper past it, I fitted all new mounts to the other 3 and ordered a brand new replacement for that mount and it made no difference so I wouldn't worry about it
Would need to plug it in and look at live data.
Off the top of my head id be looking at:
White plug under the fuse box for corrosion.
Relays in the fuse box for corrosion
Check injectors
Replacement throttle body
Replacement accelerator pedal
Has it had a timing belt? MK3 uses the VVT engine, it's a similar setup to the 2.0 16v, timing could be out.
They are a reasonably pokey engine so it should feel fine to drive
Got the same problem, popped it on a diagnostic machine to look at live data and 3x abs sensors were showing one reading, the rear o/s was showing a stupid number. Changed that sensor, problem solved.
I bet they love you kicking up fuss for a genuine windscreen then refusing it 😂
The windscreen supplied is correct, it may not be the same manufacturer as the original when the car was made but it will be the correct part manufactured by whoever was doing Renaults glass at the time it was...
The rear O2 sensor keeps being mentioned, don't worry about it, it's not controlling anything. The cat will be fucked after years of this too. But if it's pulling fine up the revs it won't be doing any harm or causing the issue, it's just not doing its job and killing the butterfly's!
I've come...
because of the price of a 1.6 16v Clio, you would need to have a VERY VERY big sentimental connection to the car to make it a viable conversion. I done one years ago but at the time I had managed to pick up a high miles 1.2 Clio for £1500 when all the 1.6 16v Clio's about were over £5k.
My most...
