As above, I'm going to order a decat and want to know your views?
Basically, I have a Ktec supersport system on the 172, which is quite loud as some may know... So I'm not sure whether to go all out "boy racer style" and get just a decat, or get a silenced one to make it not ridiculously...
PROBLEM SORTED :D
Thanks guys for all your help! <3
Now onto the next problem... Since having the battery off, the satnav screen doesn't turn on and I don't know how to input the radio code as I have no screen to look at what I'm inputting! Help please!
With regards to the KTR panel filter, I think it's great!
I swapped my standard filter for it and I actually get slightly better mpg and, I don't know how to explain but, it just feels betteerwith it fitted lol.
Will it be a case of unplug, then plug straight back in to reset, or do I need to make sure that it's backup battery runs out of power to ensure that it resets?
Hazard problem I'm having ATM mate, I've been reading it could be something to do with the alarm, so I'm going to have a proper fiddle with it before I take it to Renault.
Thanks mate, if you could get a pic that would be great! Hopefully the rain will jog on so I can have a good go at sorting this problem without bending over for Renault.
That write up is great aswell, will be of great help!
Had a search through some old threads, and I seem to be getting different answers..
Where would the alarm be for my 172?
Is it under the wiper motor, or inside the dash board?
Either way, how do I disconnect it?
Any info would be great, thanks!
We got to the alarm system but couldn't work out how to unplug it :S
It is the little box underneath the wiper motor isn't it?!?
Could you let me know how to disconnect it, and reset so that I can try that before I blow a lot Of pennies lol. ?
Also, on a side note, I thought that the UCH controls all the electrics, including the stereeo and satnav?
(I have had the battery off since the problem occurred if this could have messed up the satnav?!?)
Yup got an alarm... I've played about with the fuses.
I've taken out the hazard ones so I don't drain the battery, but when I take the UCH fuses out, the flashing does stop!
What do you suggest matey? I'm going to get someone to diagnose the problem at the start of the week, hopefully it will...
Im with the missus ATM, but We need to sort something out soon mate lol. I've wanted to see your car for quite a while now.
Did you ever fit that Trophy spoiler to it?
The hazards wint turn off... Tried having a brand new switch, but that didn't work...
Also since the problem has occurred, the screen for the satnav doesn't turn on nor does the stereo/cd changer.
(the problem started in the middle of the night, when the car was stood doing nothing)
well it's going to cost me £520 to have it replaced, so I'm looking at other options ATM lol..
That will be where I am sending it, they said if they can't do anything with it, then you just pay the cost of the courier, so it's worth a try.
Before I send it though, I'm going to get the car...
So I may be sending my UCH off to a company to look at rather than bending over for renault.
How do I remove it?
All I know is that it is under the glove box lol.
Any help would be great, thanks!
Just a bog standard 200. The salesman was actually telling me to out my foot down more and to give it some revs, take it up to the limiter :S.
Even if I did want a 200, I wouldn't buy one where the salesman is like that. (I also knew more about the car than he did lol).
Either way, you know a...
I had mine today...
ABSOLUTELY FUMING with what Ive found.
To make my exhaust sit properly, Ive got cable ties around the rear exhaust mount. When I got home earlier, I noticed that my exhaust had moved as it was touching the exhaust surround. I looked under the car, and hanging down was 1 of...
Thats a good point... I'll give them a bell tomorrow! Thanks again mate, you may well have saved me almost £400 :)
They said that just the UCH is about £250 and then another £220 for fitting and programming!
I didn't think that specialists could do that job, thought it was only Renault who...
