Forgot to update this. After a load of reading and understanding how the delphi system works, i done some diagnostics on the blue dci last Sunday to try and pinpoint the occaaional low idle. Leakoff test on injectors proved to be ok and well within the spec. After 2 mins running. Cranking...

Get it scanned with can clip to see what faults are stored, will pinpoint the issue.

Dont worry about the f4k, my megane blocks also have it on. The actual code is on the front but usually almost unreadable due to rust.

@Dan1987wales yep just undo hub nut and you should be able to push the end of the driveshaft in until it bottoms out.

How much negative camber? At a guess driveshaft cvs bottoming out under suspension compression. Quite common on the clios. For a quick test with car sat as normal on floor, buzz the driveshaft nut undone and check the cv plunge, should be able to push the shaft in 10mm or so. If plunge is...

That area is prone to water ingress even with bonnet seal in place sadly. Make sure the fusebox cover is clipped into place properly as it is quite difficult to get the lip on right next to inner wing and the relays make it hard to clip on. Worth covering pins on the white plug in diaelectric...

Updates. Finally cracked on with cambelt and water pump replacement yesterday. Stripped. I checked cam timing before removing belt and it was still bang on had not moved a mm. Genuine Ren water pump. Never ever use aftermarket or do the job twice :cautious: could see that the gates pump...

Good to hear your getting there. Who are you using for pdr?

Mine is dcf899p2. Fron a quick google they say the 899 has a bit more poke than them two. You will need the extra power for removing rusty studs or overtorqued bolts.

None for sale sorry mate. Go dewalt, i actually prefer mine over red as no soft start on it

Not strictly new tool but had issues with my snap on techangle torque wrench going off all the time when last used. Quite a common issue and i had repaired it myself a few years ago but something had happened inside the handle this time. Sent it in to snap on via local distributor for repair...

Yep good bit of kit them funnels. No more spilling oil all over

Id probably send it, but if it goes from slipping a bit to slipping like fook in a few laps you will have a s**t day. Thats generally how it goes once they are done.

You might be able to risk a few more miles on the cambelt if it looks ok, its overdue now though on age. Id defo change the aux kit though if its aircon setup. Aux belt failing sending shards of rubber into cambelt kills these engines. If its cup setup or ac delete stick a aux belt on.

Needed a bit of tlc them. I also dropped the passenger one causing even more damage 😆 Should have seen it with spare tyre in it was almost to the top with water 😂 Fcuk knows how ive not noticed it, the oe boot carpet under the large mat has mostly hidden it. It was dry a couple of months back...

Updates Xenon upgrade done on the blue dci. I got them of @Krarl ages ago and finally got round to fitting them. They needed a few repairs so sorted the brackets with plastic welding kit and high strength epoxy. Repairs Popped front off one after white clip replacement went wrong. Gas mark 2...

Your valves will have kissed the pistons

Tempted to try that on my dci, engine moves all over on stock dogbone. Tried pu filled dogbone and the nvh on idle was insane.

Vibratechnic upper engine mount, gearbox mount and poly dogbone are decent for road use. Run them on my trophy no dash rattles etc.

Updates. Oil change for blue dci as it had done 7k since last one and currently on 196k. Weather mild enough today so cracked on. Vac pump to suck oil out via dipstick hole, filter change and 4.6ltrs of fresh 5/40 valvoline synthpower. Vac pump ftw. Next job was rear shock change. I had...

Can guarantee pump will fail when you need it most!

Get the 899. Speed 3 will rip most stuff off and batterys last ages. Its as good as the red but cheaper.

If the resistance of the injector is bad its end of life for it usually and a clean wont work. Genuine magnetti marelli arent too expensive, avoid any ebay ones like the plague

Should be 14 -14.5 ish on a decent one. Sounds normal for failing injector, itll be due a set if not changed previously. If not its parts cannon plugs and leads onto it

Most likely injector issues. Test the resistance of each

I can recalibrate the airbag ecu for you. Redcar.

As above have the catch tank connected to breather plate and other port open to atmosphere for performance. It will still be pulling oil fumes in if connected into inlet.

Updates Washer jet pump packed in on the blue dci. Well i say packed in, i used the rear wash/wipe and it squirted the rear window and then refused to do the front just rear regardless of selection. Ive had this issue before and usually sorts itself out flicking between front and rear a few...

In.

The halfords advanced jacks are great. I bought the 2ton alloy one a while back, its not much lighter to be fair!
