    Is the anyone running group n engine mounts???

    I have the k-tec mounts (dogbone poly bushes also) and if I can live with them then anyone can :D That's because my idle is all over the place. Fortunately I'm not doing too much urban mileage so the vibrating steering wheel and the free back massage are acceptable ;) bottom end: the car feels...

    Engine cuts down at idle speeds

    A friend of mine has an 182 FF, 45 k on the clock and for some 6k miles the engine cuts down at idle speed. He changed the injectors, throttle body, lambda sensor, but the renault garage did not managed to fix this issue. the car is driving normally but the idle is unstable and occasionally cuts...

    xenon beam dropped

    today started the car and the left xenon was pointing at around 5-7 meters in front of the car.. the left headlight is new btw and can't figure how come yesterday the beam was ok and now it's not. and I'm still not sure how the height adjustment works in a mk2 clio, because in a meggy 225 you...

    Knocking when wheel spinning

    check the driveshafts. if they're ok then probably the mounts or one of them is gone. I have the k-tec solid ones plus powerflex dog bone bushes and there is absolutely no knocking (before that I had massive knocking under acceleration in 1st gear).you'll just have to put up with the extra...

    too much torque?

    if you put it that way it sounds good! but the fear of blowing the gearbox is still there.. I think he should take the brave pill and give the thing some stick!

    too much torque?

    he is afraid to go higher than that (torque wise), the gbox could blow up.. although there are some clios runnin higher values with the std gbox

    too much torque?

    a friend of mine has a supercharged 172 ph1 still being tested and wondered if the torque you see in the graph isn't too much for just 0,3 bar he has an eaton m62, cat cams 421 and 182 manifold here's the graph:

    Bosch aero twin wipers

    well not quite! the UK cars have equal 21" wipers, and a different wiper mechanism , whereas the other european cars have different size wipers like you said (530/450)

    182 misfire help!

    I unplugged mine today with the engine running and it stopped. does this mean anything? beside this, I have a lumpy idle since I have the car, but got used to it since otherwise the car is fine. could replacing this sensor solve this idle issue?

    engine missfire! help!

    well I've installed it all back together and first the idle went somewhere between 1200-1500 rpm quite longer than I've expected but when the car got to optimal temperature the idle went back to normal. took a drive with the car and it's ok. for now..

    engine missfire! help!

    I removed the leads and the plugs away from the car, they looked ok. now I'll have to figure out how to check out the leads, maybe put them on another car I don't know while the plenum is unbolted I thought I giveit a good clean but how on earth is this plug coming out? (the one that enters the...

    engine missfire! help!

    engine missfire! help!

    yesterday I went out with the car after 4 day of resting (the car that is..) and noticed that the engine (while still cold) had the tendency to cut of fuel under acceleration, not too bad but you could feel it Then I stopped to hear it idle for a while and it was obvious I had a problem, the...

    yet another vibration issue..

    So let's start the story since last spring when I had an accident. a pretty nasty one. about 4k were spent to fix the car, the left front end was damaged (headlight, lower arm, subframe, front bumper, a small dent in the roof above the upper corner of the door, and some other smaller stuff, as...

    wanting to lower my 182 but...

    what tyres are you on? (dimensions) 195/40 r 17 for example are smaller in diameter than 205/45 r16 so I don't see why they should rub on the arches

    Washer Pump fix guide

    in my case cleaning wasn't the issue, everything was super clean out there, the trick is to slice about 0,5 mm at each end of the rubber cylinder, this way it will move side to side freely somehow.. it worked 2 times already

    Washer Pump fix guide

    After having some problems with one of the two and payed around 60 quid to change it I finally sort out what was wrong with it. Basically you could hear it whine but no liquid came out.. To fix the damn thing you have to remove it and take it apart If someone experiences problems ring a bell...

    clio 197 or clio 182?

    was a week ago with my 182 at a renault dealer to fit my rear shocks and a 197 was there on the elevator with the front wheels removed.. I got a chance to study it's suspension, the brembo's closely and what can I say.. It definitely moved forward from the 1*2, the suspension design, the huge...

    Dent in Manifold

    mine is the same, but for sure it came out like this from the factory, I've just installed a brand new ARB and the old one was fine in the area which could have been in contact with the manifold.
