Hello again, I am planning on putting in some new spark plugs on my clio 172 and have read it is best to use a torque wrench. I have found one on ebay which is preset to 24nm. I know it is cheap and proabaly quite inaccurate but i am only using it once and i guess it is better than nothing...

How can i tell if it needs changing? Thanks

I am in Basingstoke

How easy is it to fit a water pump to a 172? Thanks

They said they used the locking tool. I noticed my coolant level is just above minimum so could this have something to do my problem? i read on another thread that the revs fluctuating and a loss of coolant could be the water pump or a sensor? Thanks

i have picked it up from the garage. It is definately much better now than it was before. However now when i stop the revs are about 1000 then slowly dropped to about 8000 then do not move. Is there a way of telling if the timing is still out? Thanks for all the help with this.

I have heard back from the garage and they said that the timing is spot on and that a hose had come loose and this was what was causing the revs to fluctuate and the car to almost stall. Does this sound likely or should I be worried? Thanks

Are there special tools for the cliosport 172?, as i think they are using normal renault clio ones. Anyway they are keeping it in over night to finish having a look tomorrow morning, so fingers crossed they fix it.

The RAC and i took it back to the garage and they said they are going to look at it. I think they are still claiming it is something else though.

Im guessing they do not have all the correct timing tools for the 172. They said they will fix it if i get it in writing my another garage/RAC that it is there work that has caused this problem. I am going to ring RAC now and hopefully get them to look at it for nothing as a garage will cost...

I didn't know they were useless before they did the work. They said that they would be able to do it.

A useless local garage. I know i shouldnt have gone there but they are convenient. Where do i stand now? Can i get them to fix it or get my money back? Thanks

Hello, I had my cambelt and auxillery belt changed yesterday and since i picked it up the car is almost stalling when i come to a stop. The revs are dropping below 10000. Does this indicate that they have not done the work correctly? Thank you.

Hello, Please could someone share their experience? I have been quoted £400(with change) for a cambelt and auxillery belt kit change. I was wondering if this sounds reasonable? Thank you for any advice.

Hi, I bought a clio 172 a couple of weeks ago and i have got service history for 10,494 miles and 21,835 miles. It doesnt seem anything major has been done i.e. only oil change, wiper change etc. Now I was considering getting a service carried out as has done almost 30,000 miles now. Is...
