Can anyone tell me, if I e-mail Renault Customer Services am I likely to receive a response? or am i just wasting my time?

i have a mk2, and prefer the mk2 from the mk1, the interior on the mk2 is just so much better. (apart from the colour stiching)

i wouldnt have got out to look, and would have followed him and made him pay for the damage

mine used to do it ALL the time, they replaced a sensor on the flyweel, and for a while it was perfect, but now it just does it occassionally, just one of those Renault traits i guess.

i had that, was found to be a sensor on the fly wheel

For those of you who were involved in my threads last week. An update of my visit this weekend to Renault Woking: Basically, I was taking my Mk2 172 in to have the dial set looked at, the aircon, and the cold starts. The car is a French import but has come with the incorrect dials and therefore...

mine is REALLY bad though, if i start the engine, and "try" to get it to warm up i cant even rev it to about 1,500rpm without the whole car shaking violently. [Edited by Gaz2130 on 20 May 2004 at 1:45pm]

i vote splitter, without bigger sideskirts the car will look stupid with that valance

not sure what rpm it idles at, i can find out though, i basically think the engine software is screwed or a cold start sensor like someone has said, i cant see it being anything else if the car runs 110% when warm. Chad i always use optimax.

i think i will have to have a general chat with Renault when i take it in on saturday, and ask them to run a diagnostic check on the cars computer and reset the computer if they can [Edited by Gaz2130 on 20 May 2004 at 1:00pm]

yeah, but i am on about the car being REALLY bad, like for example, before, with the famous cold starts (which I have always had), you could drive off and the car would just be sluggish, but would actually drive. But this is something else, basically the car is just near impossible to drive...

pardon? now you have lost me, sorry I dont understand what that means completely, and what effect that has in relation to this problem?

but it only does it when the engine is cold? when the temp gauge reaches the "norm" the car is absoultely fine, idles fine. [Edited by Gaz2130 on 20 May 2004 at 11:42am]

25k, serviced at 12k and 24k by Renault

anyone??

my 172 was 169bhp, and it was on regular unleaded, not the usual optimax, good enough for me (power engineering RR)? are we talking fly or wheels?

Guys, I need some advice, I am at the moment experiencing quite a lot of problems with the enigne in my 172, it is kind of related to the cold start symptons that these cars have, i.e drive it for 0.5 mile and its fine. But, nowadays everytime I go to start the car from cold and I put my foot...

nos is a short burst of power, not always available and not consistent, where as tb and turbos are. simple as.

yeah, i am sure there is a discount in the members area!

badges baby!, yeah!

thats ok, not getting b*tchy or anything.

racing is racing though, and there is so much that can go wrong, no matter how good a driver you are, or how careful you are, there is always the unexpected, a tyre blow for example, and racing just makes things so much worse. Not a good idea.

people who go out of their way to egg on others and create better opportunities for racing on public roads are just idiots. Full Stop>. [Edited by Gaz2130 on 18 May 2004 at 4:02pm]

23 6yrs ncb, NU, protected claims, SP30 3pnts, will be £460, nice.

yeah the square at the bottom of the windscreen allows for GPS signals to be received, its where my navigation GPS antenna sits

id go for ones like the cup one but with silver piping, and clio 172 instead of cup 172 (its not a cup Ive got)

i personally think you are mad, why the hell would you want to deface a brand new car? especially a 182? some ppl. (Just my opinion)
