Updates. Turbo, wastegate and downpipe test fitted. Turbo oil return, wastegate hoses and a couple of bits to sort but nothing too hard to do. Should be a goer once the weather picks up.

Went with ecumaster as they supported clio2 dash via can, and everything else was piggyback at the time. With decent other options available now id pick whatever suits, maxxecu and haltech are good, i would pick the best spec out of all 3 and roll with it. Ive went with ecumaster for my kangoo...

U shaped brass connectors, bought mine years ago but these look the same. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FQC9NLR3/?tag=cliospnet01-21

They are absolute dogshit. Never seen a good one yet! Ive only recently used wago's, they are god tier for a quick fix to get you out of the s**t.

Cheers mate. Agreed ive seen both crimp and solder done well and both done equally terrible. One thing i despise are them fcuking insulated crimps, terrible in most circumstances. Soldering still good for resuing a terminal in a fix. Crimp defo faster though, the longest part is stripping the...

Tested to destruction and the wiring snapped instead of pulling out of the connector. The advantage is being able to use them in tight spaces on substandard wiring if you need to where solder nedds flux and hope that it will join. £60 set of crimpers and your set up. I used to solder everything...

Get yourself a good crimper and uninsulated crimps/dual wall heatshrink for automotive wiring joins. Absolute game changer compared to soldered joints.

Looks right from memory. Id go for a valeo one as not much more expensive.

Hard to say being honest, prob wont hurt. If you do change it torque to the correct spec as knock sensors can be very fussy. Im sure its around 20nm torque spec for it but might be wrong without looking. Are you using your regular source of 95octane or a different garage? Could stick some super...

The mrs 225 has same issue on rear heated window, i also tried the paint and no joy. Worth a shot though, 2nd coat wont hurt

Not sure depends on what data you can get to show. If you were closer id stick rstuner on it for you to verify knock sensor is doing something or not.

Before you do anything you need to verify if its actually knocking or not, datalog knock sensor to see if its pulling timing and/or det cans and check the fuelling. Usually if its audiable det itll be causing damage fast.

I run this setup on my clio trophy. https://cliosport.net/threads/t-turbo-is-back.536356/page-6 Kangoo will be on ecumaster this year.

Best solution is to build a new wiring loom for the standalone ecu. The original engine looms are well past their best on most clio2 now. X85 vvt is variable on pmw, and requires a cam sensor to monitor cam angle changes which 182 head does not have. Mine runs 197 head with cam sensor for full...

Cruise needs to be wired differently but can be setup. Asr probably wont work on any aftermarket ecu but thats no problem as its pretty crap, mine is disabled. Trip is also quite easy to get working. Not sure about auto windows, cant see how that would be related? Overall works well. No...

Fit a decent standalone ecu instead of piggyback, its much better overall. Ecumaster black, maxxecu, link all support the clio2 canbus so oem dash works ok

Will look mega with the new arches. Nice rollcage would complete the look 👀

Updates. Stripped the breaker 225 in a day. Big hole. These meganes are absolutely solid and it took a fair bit of 9" grinder action to get that off! Bodyshop has been booked for march. I suspect he will only need a small amount of the qtr but better off going big when cutting. Washed it...

Not suprised to hear the issues with the adjustable bushes. Poor design, the megane adjustable ones also move.

Is the coolant temp going up to the correct mark? If the thermostat is weak, they can hit the cold limiter at 5500rpm.

Flat floor in the rear looks good, tidy job. The plastic blocking the drains is part of the shield that goes over the top of the wiper motor, they are brittle thin plastic which falls apart. Not needed, i dont think any of mine are intact. Seen the renaultsport coat for sale, nice period one that.

Updates. I needed a custom turbo oil feed making up for my new turbo setup, so popped down Global Hydraulics (formerly northern hose and hydraulics). Excellent service as usual, £35 made in ten mins whilst waiting. Recommended if needing custom hoses in Teesside area. -4an one end (7/16jic??)...

Rstuner needs add on module for abs. Best off using clip, if you are near teesside i can scan it.

M7x1 iirc, ive used regular flange headed bolts on mine. Give the head a clout on the originals with a 3/8 extension or similar drift before undoing, usually come out ok doing that.

Vibration under heavy braking is common, usually pad deposits. Discs wont be warped, give it 70mph-30mph hard braking on the bounce to deglaze.

If wiring all good ecu might be dead.

Its difficult to diagnose stuff like this without seeing it in person. It sounds like you have a misfire

Guess asr light is also on. Squib might need recalibrating.

Unfortunately people use/recommed the wrong stuff for the cam covers. Id scrape it off and use the correct anaerobic flange sealant to avoid any future headaches. If a bit of sealant comes off and blocks an oil gallery or oilpump strainer, be engine rebuild.

Yes reprogrammed loads of airbag ecu's on clio2, can sort it with clip.
