This reminds me of when I tried to do this by myself. Was a pig of a job and took me absolutely ages. I ended up loosing one of the bolts, it fell away and never found it, spent ages searching for it too. Its definitely a two person job if you want an easy time.
Hi ,
Ive got a Milltek catback as my 182 exhaust and need to replace the exhaust clamp.
Does anyone know if the exhaust clamp is the same as one Renault would sell or is the milltek exhaust bigger so needs a bigger clamp.
cheers
Mine cracked back in 2003 bought a second hand one on ebay.
just did a search and there are loads on there - this one for instance http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-172-Exhaust-Manifold-/321285380435?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ace19d953
oh yeah, have fun trying to...
would recommend these guys. I had my injectors cleaned b them and made a massive difference to the running and smoothness of the engine.
In my case I bought some second hand injectors off here and sent them off to be cleaned , that way my car wasnt off the road.
they send you a report on...
Last 2000 miles ive been getting 49 -52 mpg on the trip but by calculating the true mpg from petrol receipts and mileage ive been achieving 45.5 mpg in my 182 on shell nitro/optimax/vpower whatever its called.
This hasnt been easy and is really really boring. sitting at max 63mph on the...
They did mine and they sent me a before and after test chart, really impressed. sent mine in the post and they were cleaned and sent back with me 3 days later. They replace the O rings on the injectors too.
It can be a pain to get the fuel rail+ injectors back on, I didnt use any grease and...
Just wanted to add to this thread in case anyone searches.
Getting the fuel rail complete with injectors back on the engine is a pig of a job. The rubber O rings on the injectors need to be slightly lubricated with oil or wd40. start at one end and push whilst wiggling the injector into the...
Same thing happened to me this morning. heard a clanging noise behind the car,, looked back and there was part of my coil spring on the road, looked like a horse shoe too.
Does anyone know where to get a new set from, want to replace both my fronts. Renault want £99 per coil which is a rip...
Got a Ktek steel stealth exhaust and am having problems with the 2 bolts that join the cat to centre section. Every 2 weeks they seem to work themselves loose , and the exhaust starts blowing loudly. Tighten them up and its fine for another while till it happens again.
Is there sometype of...
That really helped me out today !
Few things to add , couldnt remove all of the slam panel , only the 4 bolts at the top, getting a spanner between the radiator and the bottom middle part of the slam panel was a no starter. But I found you dont really need to undo all of the slam panel ...
MY EXHAUST FELL OFF THIS MORNING TOO !!!!
I ordered the K-tec mild steel one just now aswell as new hangers. Ive got a mk2 so hoping it will be a straight swap.
Dont know why i ordered the mild steel one. MY exhaust history is:
36k first back box fell off.
40k mid section persished and...
Im sure when I took my 172 there a few months back it was only £45.
This is the place in Chesham right.
Got to say really great guys there. Took my car in on the day without appointment and got the toe-in problem sorted quickly. They have a nice waiting area with sky tv on a big plasma, all...
