Anyone else have this problem?
I have a '51 plate 172 sport, induction kit, engine cover missing.
Could be the cause of the problem? i'm unsure??
Whenever it rains really bad and I go through a fe puddles, engine management light comes on and drives like a DOG!!
Is this a common...
....to look at my 2001 Renault Clio 172.
Engine management light on and a light on the dashboard with squiggly lines on it.
He plugged in the diagnostic kit and came up with this error:
"257 Throttle valve position sensor circuit"
What does this mean exactly, do I need a new throttle...
Throttle Sensor...for a '51 plate 2. 172 sport, roughly how much??
whenever I stamp on my accelerator, light come on dashboard with a squiggly line on it and refuses to go above 2500rpm in any gear.
diagnostics guy reckons it's the throttle sensor - sound about right????
also came up...
driving my car and suddenly the engine management light came on, followed by these lights...ive drawn them, but belive it or not it is a very good drawing of the lights....car wont go over 2500 rpm in any gear, but drives.

thats the warning...
my oil light keeps intermitently coming on and off....full of oil, not too much either, also had a full service and oil change and oil light still keeps coming on!
any ideas?
cheers
Matt
Problem 1: Engine management light was coming on so took it to my local garage and they said it was the c02 sensor, which i chnged, then engine management light went off, BUT it's now coming up with an error when diagnostics is on it saying something about the upstream c02 sensor, but the garage...
basically i bought a cd player for my clio 172 '51 plate and it's a standard renault item, bought it off ebay with the code.
i'm typing in the 4 digit code then pressing '5' to enter the code, but it keeps coming up sying "error" all the time, so i presume the code is wrong or i'm entering it...
if i buy a cd player for the clio 172 (standard one) off ebay, do i HAVE to go to renault for the codes, or can it be done via the net if the coeds aint with the radio??
cheers
Matt

Matt

Been trying to contact his company al day yesterday and today to pay for it, but nobody answers...anyone ever bought from this company before???
cheers
Matt
currently got an induction kit and ordered a Blue flame exhaust with de-cat pipe + performance plugs and leads....what do i need to get it pushing out a genuine 200 bhp??
cheers
Matt
Had a brand new cat fitted a few weeks ago to pass MOT..mounted a kerb and basically totally messed up the rear pipe and center pipe...any ideas where i can sourse these parts??
do they sell performance exhaust just comprising of the rear and center section??
or would it be cheaper, now...
much appreciated if this can be kept on topic etc.
Basically I need the following:
1: 2 x outer cv gaiter for the driveshaft
2: 2 x rear brake discs
3: Rear brake pads
4: A new cat.
can anyone provide me with a link where i can order these parts from, but NOT from renault, as...
Car = '51 plate clio sport 172 and i've only got one key....the dog chewed it and has kinda mashed up the key and obviously the immobiliser bit is a bit knackered, and sometimes takes me 10+ minutes to hold the key together in the right position to get the car started, so I need a new key...
finally sold my clio 172 2002 full fat as i needed to release some money for a deposit on a house.
Bought a 1.3 starlet turbo and OH MY GOD, it eats my old 172 for breakfast, the thing is a complete animal.
Mines only 155 bhp, but weighs only 950kg....awesomely quick.
Matt
missed my 24,000 mile service and now the clock is reading almost 27,000 miles!!
(clio 172)
should i get it into renault NOW, or not?
Since it's such a small service, would a normal garage be ok, renault main dealers are so expensive!!
Matt
Juat bought my 02 clio 172 last week and getting nothing but crap of my mates..being called gay 24/7 and its funny at first but winding me up now!!
