Prolines: Sportlines: Not much in it in reality, the sportlines were newly fitted there so probably dropped a TAD, ride comfort I wouldn't say there is much in it either, I remember expecting the pro's would ride a lot better and being surprized that they didn't, but not that either of them...

If i remember right my rack has a connector but nothing connected to it as the 182 loom doesn't have the connector

Has your mechanic actually done any diagnosing? What makes him think it's the compressor or is he just guessing? Has it had a diagnostics on it? AC pressure sensor giving a reading? A fault on the system will inhibit the AC compressor from engaging

I hacksawed mine off and then fitted a non AC bulkhead panel. You can remove it, remove the pipework etc and refit Id you want a nicer job lol

@aldo_87

probably one of the easiest engines in the world to do a belt on, This is a good video

the 200 cup one was available a couple of months back and is a straight swap, i got one for mine from RPD, arrived next day and comes with the track rod and rod ends! - quicker rack too so an upgrade for a 197/200 non cup Renault Clio 200 Cup Steering Rack 8200824576 - Renault Parts Direct

na 1.2 16v this one

The Things seem to find me! Mate phoned me saying come and see me, bring £300

i remember us getting one as a driving school car and we had to get a higher spec one as the lower spec didnt have PAS!

Welcome, Your english is fine! its better than my Amsterdamish

Sure it's not the thermostat housing cracked above the gearbox, I used to do about 5 a week! Usually people continue to drive them with no water and then toast the head gasket

The genuine items are a bargain too! I moved from 197 non cup to 200cup all round and it's extremely stiff for a road car, I sometimes wonder if I would have been better going for 197 cup or non cup setup instead.

Mk5 will be 5 stud no? Edit: Just had a look at mine and they are 4 stud, shows how much attention I pay

doesn't Rlink only support android auto? Sure i remember that from when i had my 220T

Probably won't get any worse I'd think but it's a fairly crucial part!

Unplug the 3 multi plugs from the UCH and leave it for 5 mins and re insert, see if it temporarily fixes it, usually that's a sign the UCH is starting to play up. its behind the glove box, pop your head in the foot well and look up behind the glove box and you should be able to see them

cheap ones are a false economy. i nearly loose a finger every time i try and remove a set so id be double raging if i nearly lost a finger then couldn't see in the rain

Tensioner will most likely have failed. I would get it sorted ASAP as if it takes the aux belt out there is a high chance it will wrap its self round the crank pulley and jump the timing belt taking the engine with it, and engines are getting expensive!

looks very nice considering it came via copart! looking forward to seeing a progress thread!

A lot of people say they all do it, but mine never when they were new. My current 197 had it, I threw coils and plugs at it with little to no improvement. Fitted one of those machines alloy map sensor brackets that hold it in tight and it was like a new car!! Still had the occasional stutter...

yeah they never do show as an import for some reason, i dont know the ins and outs. But the alarms were fitted at the UK import centre when renault brought them into the country so ones without are always imported by the car supermarket (unless its been removed of course)

as above don't worry about cabasse or not cabasse, just go with tunerlist or updatelist

does it have an alarm? (sensors on the pillars and red LED on the gearstick surround), Locking wheel nuts and window etching? If not its probably an import, loads of them were

Low mileage 1.6 16v k4m is a straight swap as they are virtually identical. Or a 2.0 f4r but engines are getting pricey unless you go for one of the 140hp variants from the laguna

yeah not seen one for years! they usually got the 1.2 16v engine too rather than the 8v!

im on my 4th mk3 RS, every time i get rid of one i say NO MORE, absolute money pits. My current 197 has almost bankrupt me and I'm in to deep to get out so im putting up with it, one the right day on the right road its unbeatable, to live with its a nightmare.

even pointless engine swaps? haha

Its been too cold on my days off to work on any of the cars, i did go out the other day to do some work but was met with this and quicky thought, naaaaa few days later, its a bit milder and a few deliveries had arrived!!! Sits quite well, hopefully it will settle a little more at the...

Transmech clutches are garbage that's probably part of the problem, your right that the bite point is high on them but not right at the top of the pedal travel as your experiencing.
