I have a 1.5 dci 2003. I started to have issues with my car cutting out when Acceleration was applied once driving. More recently the car has failed to stop completely, but it has been turning over and few seconds of turning over and trying to start it cuts out. No matter how many times I turn...

2003, 1.5 DCI

Thanks, do you mind linking me to the part on euro car parts or similar? I tried to search the pulley but I'm not sure whether its the correct one as there are various for other parts of the engine.

I've determined that the alternator pulley is squeaking continuously when the car is on, I had the alternator changed about 5 years ago. Nothing is wrong with its function, but I'm wondering whether I need to change the whole alternator, or whether I can swap out the pulley to get rid of the...

Thanks for the guidance, appreciated. So if I try and code the existing 65BHP injectors, it won't have the same effect as the ones you've linked to? I've come across people selling the Delphi software preloaded onto a cheap laptop - do these also do the job? I've seen them being sold for about...

Interesting, how do I find out my engine code? I don't know if the injectors I got correspond with my engine code, if they're programmed in, will that matter? What clip do you need to do the programming?

How did you know that the injectors you were replacing your OEM ones with were going to offer the same performance? How much was the programming? And was there a difference?

How are they different? Physically they look exactly the same?

Just to also add. I may mix and Match my old 80bhp injectors when I have more time to see if I can simply replace the malfunctioning one than all 4 like I have currently done

Well in my research before I started this project I concluded that they were the same because I came across the same part numbers but also came across different part numbers too. It also seems too expensive for Renault to commission work on designing a new output for a more powerful engine when...

Where can I get this done around the West Midlands area and what will the cost be for all 4? It's the only thing I have to explain the lowish power. I did take the injectors from a 65BHP car but discovered that the same injectors were used across all models so I don't think (and hope not) that...

I have replaced all 4 injectors from another car, which is 65BHP version, mine is a 80BHP engine. Whilst the car runs and drives, with no warning lights, I feel that some pull power that I remember my original car had has diminished. I've been asking around and there are two approaches with...

Re-sealing it up is something that needs to be done, but if I'm not mistaken won't that just prevent the leakages, and not the creaking that occurs which I understand comes from the closing bracket?

Any ideas on this?

I want to get rid of my creaking manual sunroof once and for all. Has anyone attempted this? I'm looking to fill it with a sheet welded in and prepped and sprayed from the other side with new headlining throughout.

I gave it a good warm up and a rag around the block, issue fixed itself. I was going to do a flow back test (might still do it).

I've read a few posts of people saying that replacing the headlining can be difficult and some go as far as saying it shouldn't be attempted at al. Mine has stains on it and I was to freshen it up. Is it possible I can get a new cloth to go over the existing one without removing it? perhaps it...

I bought a donor clio to take the injectors from to put into my own clio which has the warning and tell-tale signs of an injector problem. The replacement was successful with the car starting first time (wasn't the case with previous injectors). Although the car starts there is a constant...

Just picked up the car. Can anyone advise if they're different injectors in the 65bhp vs the 80bhp. I know there's a difference in from dealers but this doesn't necessarily mean different part numbers.

Might be an electrical problem though - he says, something to do with the relay I think. But I can salvage a fuel pump and injectors from a car (and other bits) for less than the price of refurb'd injectors. There's always a risk that if I pick up the injectors and the problem persists I...

I've got a MK2 DCI 80. It's developed injector issues (STOP light appearing when putting foot down quickly when accelerating). My mechanic is asking me to pick up a cheap donor car so he can swap parts from it. He is also suspecting an electrical issue. I am happy to pick up a donor car (my...

Do you think the sensor might also need replacing - perhaps it's not regulating the fuel properly when required? I remember doing an idle leak off test a few months ago. It was a big pain because the car took ages to start and battery almost died. I I got it working I concluded that there wasn't...

Over the past few weeks I've been having issues starting the DCI. Ticks over but it takes a good few attempts to get it going. Glow plugs have been changed, but no difference. When the car starts it works just fine, apart from when you put your foot down too quickly it then presents with warning...

I've just used an aerosol can and sprayed my driver side front wing with the code 676 from Halfords. I'm surprised that it has no resemblance with the door. It seems like a light shade of black. Has anyone else run into the same problems with this colour? The right is the wing panel and the...

I have painted a little before, but not entire car. Just wondering which way I should go, convert 182 parts to standard black finish. Or standard black, which is the majority of the car, to 182 black. I would like to give it a go, if its goes badly I'll give it to a body shop. Something I would...

I have stuck on some 182 panels: the wings and the bumper. It's going to be 182 rep on a DCI. The black which I have on the DCI is noticeably different between the the two shades, something I was aware of before starting this replica. Initially I thought I would respray the car myself, in the...

Just wondering if I can still get some answers for the above..

Where does the silicone need to be applied? It is basically what holds the black surround frame in place? Also, can you recommend any good silicone that I can I use with this job? So long that it doesn't cause any problems in future I wouldn't be looking to remove it again.

(I have done a search but can't seem to find any detailed threads on this) I have a sunroof which pools water behind the sun-visor on a day of heavy rain. I'm looking to fix this over the coming weeks. First, I want to know what is causing the leak - are the drain pipes blocks causing the water...

Yeah, I found them on eBay, and they're more expensive than an aftermarket kit. Other issue is I don't know how much life they have left in them. Not to mention the hassle of having to remove the headlamp to replace them. Just thought it would be easier to pick up a separate ballast which would...
