From some posts I've been reading, am I correct in saying that a re-map improves torque in the lower rev range? Please correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the car in closed loop mode at lower RPM? If so this would mean that the adjusted maps aren't being used as the O2 sensor will be in...

Hi guys, I've started to accumulate a few problems with my 182 and was wondering if anyone could offer some advice as to what is wrong. 1) Every so often car refuses to start first time and this is only ever in the morning. It doesn't do this every day but ALWAYS starts second time round...

My 182 (05 plate) still has the original Renault panel filter in the airbox and I'm wondering if I should replace this with an ITG panel filter? The car has had one service on 12000 miles when I bought it but the filter was not replaced, should it have been changed on the first service? I'm...

Morning all, Is it safe to use the PC say every 3-6 months with a light cutting pad and polish followed by a finishing pad and polish? I ask this because I'm wondering if gradually the clearcoat will become too thin?? I'm looking to invest in one of these soon (after sorting my 182...

Spotted this at about 8:20 this morning on my way to work? Anyone?

My 182 seems to have developed a problem the last couple of days where it won't start 1st time, but this only ever happens first thing in the morning. The car turns over so I'm presuming its not linked in any way to the starter. I can guarantee though that it starts perfectly 2nd time round. I...

Any suggestions on the best shampoo to use for the weekly wash, I use p21s as my wax?? Using AG shampoo at the moment, seems good quality but suds are minimal so I'm looking to change. I've looked around at the suggestions but this one seems to vary so much, I'm hoping to get a good shampoo...

I've heard good things about both, anyone have their favourite? I use the EGP, but I'm wondering if the Jeffs may be the better choice because it sounds easier to apply? How exactly is the Jeffs applied?

Hi all, Is there a need to use a paintwork cleanser in the detailing process when using the SRP, EGP P21s combo? I have chosen these products to work with based on what I have read in the forum, but I'm unsure now if the SRP on its own is enough to prep the paintwork for EGP and wax? I...

Hello all, I've not long owned my 182, but I'm slowly building up a collection of cleaning products. Over the weekend I decided to give the motor a good wash and this time pay particular attention to the wheels and tyres. I polished and sealed the alloys with the AG SRP, EGP combo but then...

Afternoon all, A little while back I posted a message after I got my 182 back from my Renault dealer following a Lamda sensor change. It came back with a scuff on the bumper! It has been quite a painful process trying to firstly get them to admit to it, and secondly get it booked in at...

Do all 172/182's suffer from a high biting point? My 182 seems to have quite a high bite, clutch seems fine was just wondering if this is common thing on rs models or even the clio in general?

Hi guys, Just got my car back from Renault Liverpool after having the oxy sensor replaced and all is fine now, no stupid light on the dash. However, they've decided to leave me with a lovely scuff on the left side of the rear bumper!! I'm absolutely furious as I have spent a lot of time...

Hi guys, Just back from a few days away where unfortunately I wasn't able to take my car. Just as I was about to leave for a long journey to Wales, the stupid exhaust pollution light came on, on the dash, didn't it. I really wasn't sure what this meant at the time so I went down to Renault in...

Does anyone know how long there should be in between polishing using SRP? I was thinking of doing this monthly followed by the EGP and P21s would this be ok? Does polishing it this often make the top layer of the paint a lot thinner over time? Thanks

Hi, When I'm at parking speed in my 182 cup the steering becomes very heavy, but seems lighter when moving at speed. Is this a normal thing with the 182? Coming from a c2 VTS the steering seems very heavy as the VTS had electric power steering and was extremely light! I've checked my PAS...

Hi guys, I'm new to the forums so thought I'd get straight underway with my first post!! Just got my clio 182 cup and I've been looking around for a little while now at some of the problems that you have. My car seems to idle a little rough, nothing major to be fair, but at lights etc you can...
