Evening guys. Having a load of bother bleeding the abs on the 182 van.
The system was fully emptied of fluid before being swapped over to the van.
I've got an rs tuner with the abs module, I can access it and connect no problem and it appears on the screen that the bleeding is taking place but...
I've rarely ever had to do rear pads in any of my Clio's as they last so long but I done a pair of rear discs a few years back and stuck a set of pads in, at the time I was fully aware of the "just fit the std pads they don't do anything" and the only "uprated" pads I could find were EBC green...
id have a 197/200 over the 225 any day.
problem with the 197/200 is they cost a bomb when they go wrong, gearboxes, exhaust manifold flexi, front hubs etc etc at least with a 182 the majority of issues are cheap fixes.
Delivery from Kam racing today.
182 cup dampers and grams springs.
Ordered a pair of genuine front dust covers/bump stops and powerflex rear upper mounts. waiting on fresh front top mounts and they are good to fit
I prefer to buy a car that's not had the belts done for the right price as then I can get them done, properly and I'm good for the next 5yrs.
It's all too common for places to do just a belt rather than a kit, or fake invoices, or incorrect timing etc
I don't think the problem on this 2006(?) Clio is actually the head gasket. As the head gasket on a 2006(?) Clio isn't a common issue.
I think it's a problem with the connection between the seat and the steering wheel...
I assume someone asking to look at the back of the engine was asking what steering rack was on it as the smi sticker faces you when you look down under the manifold from memory
Those were the days, I went to a revo day a few years back with my mate in his 500hp golf R, he sat on the line, on launch control, came off the brske, auto box done the changes and bragged all day he was the fastest car if the day. Changed days!!!
Just shoes how different opinions can be, I found the twingo gearbox horrid, as with all the modern JR5 boxes.
Also found the 133 was no better than a 182 on fuel.
I think an Elise would be better to live with daily 😂
As a toy though, spot on. I'd have a 197 over one every day of the week...
I preferred my 133 over any of my RS clios as a toy, but on anything other than a spirited drive where you went out with the intention of being a hooligan it was hard hard work.
a woman in the street up from me called the police on me for the way I was driving down the street, I was doing 30mph...
code read on it is showing this...
when bleeding the brakes via RS tuner when you select the abs pump activation I cant hear or feel anything through the pedal im sure I should hear the pump cycle?
Well just ripped it round the scheme, she drives! It's running a little rough with a slight missfire so more investigation required tomorrow. But I'll sleep easy tonight knowing she works haha
I remember my mate having an uno turbo, big intercooler from an iveco truck on the front, bleed valve to up the boost etc, back when people tuned for just a few quid!
Got it running and hadn't outt the interior back in so we took it a blast down the road sitting on a big plastic oil drum each 😂😂
As long as the garage is dry I wouldn't worry too much about it, rather than disconnect the battery I would leave it with a trickle charger connected to keep it powered up and topped up.
Personally I wouldn't be too fussed about the fuel, ideally leave it low so you can just brim it and dilute...
Love it, they look so right in black. Especially with the ph1 rear lights!
I found an rs tuner made a massive difference on my ph1, more so than any other rs I done!
these are BMW ones but look like they wont be far away?!
