Re: Engine Management Light on!! Changed lambda sensor, cleared code and still on!! H
He cleared the fault code of the misfire!! and it never came up again, it all relates to lambda sensor but nothing seems to fix that.
Would something else bring up lambda fault apart from the sensor itself?
Had my car at auto electricians for a wee wile now. Car was off the road for approx a year, just started back and forward ( when i remembered) but when i got it going again the eml was on, tried to reset the code with my fault code reader but coudnt as it was permenant fault!
faults found were...
any cars i bought i usually found a load of change stuffed down the back of the seat, but 1 car i found a jvc headunit lying in the boot, thought it was probably broke but tried it and still going today,3 years on!
Went on a bit of road trip to visit a few tourist spots in norn iron, went to the dark hedges where some parts in game of thrones was filmed, took couple of pics of the 182 while there. Pics taken on phone so not great.
all of mine done this, pretty normal!! rough until they warm up a bit, bet if you keep an eye on temp hand when you see it rise a bit the car will feel much sharper too!
Think im just gona go with a new dephaser, more money now but as some people say cud save another big bill in a couple of months time if it did start to go, which wud b my luck ok. Thanks all for your opinions, very much valued.
its on 93k, it had a belt change at 37k, then at 62k it had dephaser and belts done again, as this dephaser has only done 30k since fitted i wasnt sure what to do, but maybe i'm answering my own question when i say if im not sure take the safest route and change it as there's not much more work...
im going to get the timing belt kit and aux belt kit done in the next couple of weeks, is it worth changing the dephaser while im at it as a precautionary measure or as its not noisey just leave it alone? is this an expense not really worth it.
this would be a good idea, i would like to know if there would be many interested, are a few renault sport owners near me but never really get chatting to them, be good to a run up the coast or just a meet to have something for rs or clio owners in NI.
Respect for the amount of effort has gone into this, remember it from back in the day and in someways glad to see it still about. I started a wide arch mk1 in 2002, it never got finished and is still lying in my parents garage. i cringe when i think of the money's worth that is there but i...
lol!!! see that sort of thing all the time wif me! i once saw a mercedes sprinter on the back of a tipping body transit, there was more hanging out the back than was on the body!! everytime he sped up the front wheels lifted!! wasnt long before the cops pulled him over!!
^ maybe not what i wanted to hear but at least i was prepared for that. Was hoping someone would have come across a simple swap but ah well, i'll have a few extra features on my 172!! LOL!!!
it's not that simple, i bought this car with no engine or gearbox, i have the other one sitting there so it doesnt cost me anything, all the parts are there and im not afraid of the work or indeed put off by the amount of work required. im just in need of some technical advice on my best way...
I have a phase 2 172 and have fitted a 182 engine and gearbox, problem is the 182 takes it's speedo signal from abs and the 172 takes it from a speedo drive on the box. I have a full 182 donar car so have plenty of bits to work with.
Questions are as follows,
can i get away with changing to...
I have bought a 172 non-runner, the fella who owned the car took a few parts off it before i got to hear and bought the whole car, the car came with factory sat nav but all that remains is the box under the drivers seat and the wiring.
Can anyone tell me what else should be there as the dash...
Hi, ive posted about this before along time back so sorry in advance for repetition.
Basically a while back i had my 182 put on the roller.
it came up with only 142 bhp.
Was very dissapointed to say the least, lost heart and basically parked the car as i hadnt the money to go any further with...
'RAT' is not for me, fair play to you for being brave enough, i would have lowered it on a nice set of wheels, kept it clean and saved your money for bigger and better things.
I've stopped counting too, they are addictive, in my yard at minute i have valver, williams, 2 x FF182's, lowly 1.2 and a breaker!! I have a problem, is there an AA equivalent for clio addiction!!
