Have got a noise which sounds like the classic slipping fanbelt noise when starting my 172 cup either hot or cold. The squeeking goes after 1 minute or so but ive just noticed that long bolt coming out top of alternator, the nut is loose and all the way at the top of bolt! Could this being loose...
Having a squeeky belt issue, ive just noticed that the nut on long bolt that comes out top of altonator is right at top. Could this be the cause of squeeking belt?
Yeah I didnt think WD was a good idea!! Ive just had my mate start it whilst i was under bonnet, defo coming from altonator area, only squeeks when I rev it but goes soon after.
Just got this 172 cup yesterday! 37K 52 plate, Cambelt- service -mot all done before i collected it. Didnt make any noise on drive back from garage but now whenever i start it up (hot or cold) there is a loud squeeking from altonator area! (sounds like a squeeky fanbelt noise) Goes after 30...
i have same problem with mine. Even though ive got the fuse box cover fitted it seems to still let some water in when i go carwash. Again, goes into limp mode and seems to rev itself! the warning light i get are the toxic fume light and a coil shaped light. They should all go off after a day or...
I have the same problem with my 172. Will rev fine upto around 5.5k but seems very laboured after that until limiter. Although ive notices if i hold the revs and let it go upto limiter there doesnt seem to be a missfire, its just when you floor it i get the missfire after 5.5k.. been doing it...
nice 1, i'll have a look around and see if i can find one. I found the broken reg. in the boot today, didnt know they'd left it in but now ive got something to compare a new one to.
Cheers
Hi, Just been to Renault coz my drivers side window wouldn't go up, after half hour they said it was due to the clips that connect to the window have broke and the wire had wrapped around the motor. They have put the window up and secured it with a chunk of wood. For this they charged me 45...
Ive got a spare battery i use or jump start it off another car. The bloke from garage where i had gearbox done said to get a new battery so I got a heavy duty one from auto spares, the car seems a little more responsive and a tad quicker but speedo's still got a mind of its own. thanks
hi,
Need help asap..
Right, when I pull off and whenever I use the throttle the speedo goes mad . It bounces round and if i put my foot down slightly it will go off the clock and stay there! It only reads normal when I let my foot off, most of the time. Also when the speedo goes mad the...
Starting to missfire alot when driving normally and even more when giving it some. sounds like a slight popping from exhaust and just jerks about abit with no power. Can get to 5.5K in 3rd/4th and it starts missing. I was thinking i should change ignition leads and plugs but if anyone knows...
Went to car wash about half hour ago, came out all shiny and turned ignition back on to find 2 warning lights on. One with a clio on it (under the fuel light) and one to the far right bottom corner which looks like a funny shaped box thingy. When i started the car it idles around 2k and will not...
I know its a bit far from Edinbrough but i got mine changed near me using renault parts (both belts and tensioner kit) for £425 and that included a cam variator which needed replacing (dont know what is does but i broke it). The price quoted for just the belt changes was £275+ vat
Right, had my cambelt changed last week. After picking car up as soon as i had chance, down went the right foot through the gears. From 1st to 5th under reasonable acceloration there is a awful vibrating noise. Sounds like the exhaust/manifold is vibrating on the chassie/sub frame somehow...
Just looking for a few opinions, maybe a photoshop job if anyone could help...
Im getting bored with the look of the clio (standard Black 172) and was pondering over getting the alloys re-furbed and painted gloss white (with black diamonds) then painting door bullets gloss white with black...

Afternoon folks. Looking for help/advice.
I have a 2001 172 and after looking underneath i can see a small bracket hanging off rear axel. All seems fine when driving but there is what looks like a small piston type thing that should be connected to said bracket...
After grinding over a...
