Not quite the topic you might expect. I'm considering replacing the stock induction system on my 182 with something like a Ktec setup. This isn't to get more power or driveability but to give me a little more space on that side of the engine as I'm fed up of faffing around with all the loose...

As most of us have discovered, the lack of cars running 205x45x16 has meant rubber in that size is pretty expensive across all of the main brands. I was just interested to see if anyone has fitted Three-A tyres and what they thought of them. I know we all have opinions on budget tyres but I'm...

Like many of us on here now, I use my 182 sparingly. 3 years and just under 3000 miles ago I took the engine/transmission out of the car and replaced just about everything. Among the many items I replaced were all the belts. I used brand new genuine Renault ones. Now the change interval for...

I've replaced the rear brake lines on my 182, bled the system with an air pump bleeder. I let fluid through until I had no air bubbles appearing at the caliper bleed nipples and clean fluid coming through. Buttoned everything up and took it for a test drive. The pedal is dangerously soft...

I've an oil leak from the selector shaft seal on the gearbox of my 182. I believe the part number is 8201048885 which I've ordered. I just wondered if anyone's had to replace their's and could give me any hints/tips ? Hope it's not a box out job ? Huge thanks in advance.

The ULEZ zone is being extended to the M25 orbital in August 2023 and is set to affect a huge number of motorists. I have a specific question about 182 compliance. Driving in the ULEZ zone is chargeable for any petrol engined vehicle that's not Euro 4 or later. The 182 is Euro 3. However if...

I've a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3s fitted to my 182. They're great and I would like to replace them with either Pilot Sport 3 or 4 but can't seem to find availability anywhere. So my first question is, have they discontinued them in 205/45/16 form ? My second question is, what would you...

I've a really silly question that hopefully somebody may be able to help with. I took the engine out of the car around a year ago to do the belts, clutch and a whole heap of other things. I had the front off the car, including the bumper. It's taken me this long to realize my front fog...

This is purely for my own interest rather than solving a problem I have. Like a lot of us on here my Clio 182 is old and has relatively limited recording facilities on its ECU... compared to a modern vehicle. Having watched a crash repair of 70 reg Range Rover on youTube [where all the air...

The seals in my 25 year 2-tonne old trolley jack have finally cried enough. Guess it's time to get a new one for the new year. There are a few threads on here recommending trolley jacks, one being the Costco Arcan 2 ton, but that doesn't appear to be available from there any more... only...

Interested to find out what the upper limit of the coolant and air intake temperatures should be on a Clio 182. I'm trying to home in on a problem with mine and just noticed that they were registering values of 99C for the coolant temperature and 66C for the air intake temperature after the car...

I've just ordered another O2 sensor... this is the third one that the car's had in under a 1,000 miles of driving :( Something's not right. The background. ----------------------- The car is a 2005 Renault Clio 182 with 78,000 miles. The car was throwing a P0130 error [upstream O2 sensor]...

I did a lot of work on my 182 a few weeks ago, including replacing the offside [driver's side] oil seal on the gearbox. That's the one where the RHS driveshaft enters the box. I felt at the time I didn't get it in correctly... and sure enough I've now been proven correct :( Does anyone have...

Would anyone happen to have details of the oil used in the air conditioning system of the Clio RS 182. I'm looking to replace it.

Shortly before I bought the car, the owner had replaced the front wiper mechanism - he gave me the one he removed in a box. The replacement one now appears to have failed today [in the pouring rain :(]. I haven't taken it apart yet, so don't know what's gone wrong but it would seem the...

The pre-cat Lambda sensor was recently replaced on my 182 and it's still posting a fault code. So a friend and I hooked a Solus up today and looked at the voltage being sent by each of the sensors using a live data run. We then unplugged each sensor to see effect. It would seem that the post...

Are Clio 182's generally lumpy when idling ? I've done a load of work on mine, I think it was lumpy on tick over before I started the work but can't remember. It idles at around 860-900 rpm. It's absolutely fine all the way through the rev range, pulls really well and the [new] dephaser is...

Anybody got the Renault part number for this thing handy ? I need to get one asap... in the mid of a cambelt and dephaser change at the moment and noticed this is weeping.

I'll be diving in to a cambelt/dephaser change this weekend and was wondering if anyone could direct me to a list of all the torque settings for F4R 182 engine ?

There appear to be quite a few genuine Renault dephaser pulleys on eBay sold by sellers in Poland. Before I take the plunge and buy one, has anyone else on here bought one from overseas ? Are they genuinely 'Genuine Renault' ? I haven't seen anything negative about them on eBay, just...

My first question on here, hopefully somebody will be able to help me out. I came out this morning to find the battery on my 182 stone dead. I opened the passenger door with the key and then opened the driver's door from inside the car. I removed the battery and shoved it on charge. I went...
