All done. They towed the car while I was at work, and rang me just before I finished my shift. They changed the auxbelt kit all done under warranty and in the matter of hours. Also they informed me that my crank aubelt pulley, so called harmonic balancer, had metal ring placed in place of rubber...

Today I started the car and there was a rattle coming from the engine bay. As I examined the engine I noticed that the aux belt had slipped one tooth width from the crank pulley as well as from the top pulley. Also 3-4 inches of the belt had grooves totally worn out!!! What is usually the cause...

I have got the same issue with mine.

Me car also diagnosed with faulty leads that caused missfire, car at renault waiting for new leads from France, cause they haven't got them in stock here in Montenegro :)

@ScarySquirrel Picked my Clio from renault yesterday, total rebuild of the new engine done by my friend working there. A great sigh of joy :) He told me to be easy on the revs for the first 1000-1500 km, so that new parts could break in nicely. Glad it's ok for u mate; been in the...

What do you think of contitech belts?

Mine is finished with repairs and ready for business :)

Well I am aware of what you are saying, and the mentioned happened 400km after the cambelt and aux belt sets service which had been done by Renault service. My friend that works there told me that before the service cambelt hadn't been timed properly, and had a slight misfire though which...

The same happened to me, the valve head dropped off to cylinder and it threw a conrod through the block as the piston could not compress it :) and then it ruined the head as well. Now I got a second engine which is getting rebuilt now as the necessary parts had arrived. Added a new set of valves...

Who ever can look it up for you in Dialogys will need all the info from the product plate of his car, and not just the vin number.

No prob mate, I myself got much help on this forum so, in the spirit of sharing :) , glad to have been of help to you. Vlado

I am in the same shoes as you Donny, bought myself a good ph 1 f4r 730 engine and waiting for renault to rebuild it with few new parts (worth changing while engine is out) and to fit it to my ph2 172. If u have ph2 loom, no need for a ph1 one. Inlet is the interchangeable bit for ph1 and...

The same happened to me in January 400km after the cambelt and aux belt service. Waiting to get a second hand engine which should be soon. Con rod blew straight through the block: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6292448&postcount=5

Guy is selling this engine because he wants to put 197 lump and box to his 172. He said that motor was working perfectly when it was taken out due to problems with gearbox. He also sells a lightened flywheel, racing clutch and a ported inlet manifold which has been matched to this head. All of...

So I found an used engine for my Clio 172, and I have few issues with it I am not sure about. Previous owner has widened inlet head ports and also the engine block seems to be a bit oily on the right side just below the flywheel bearing... I uploaded some pics he sent me, so what do you reckon...

Thakns, I asked before, but I read on some french forum that ECU engine management is different, and that 182 ECU should be used, and they mentioned couple other bits an bobs....So I was not sure....

I am looking for a new engine, and want to get a low mileage f4r 738. I need some tips concerning the installation of a f4r 738 into a phase 2 172 (old engine was f4r 736). So I am considering compatibility issues, in order to decide which engine type to get. Is 738 compatible with 736 ECU...

Thanks very much

BUMP

Thanks, so I am getting 182 f4r 738 engine if there is one available :) Will there be a need to remap the old 172 ecu?

Thanks, I have found an used stock 172 block, but I am considering a low mileage second hand one, and wondering if the 182 f4r 738 would be an option with the old ecu, loom and management overall... A local breaker is going to visit some scrappies in Paris and Lyon, and I need to give him a clue...

I am after an used engine for my ph2 172 2001 (originally f4r 736). Could it be possible to fit bare 182 engine and get it working with my old ecu and loom... Is the engine management different for 736 and 738?

Here is the pic... Does this look like a con rod?

Everything was ok belts along with all idlers and tensioners done 400 kilometers ago at Renault service, engine and gearbox oil and all filters changed too...The car was not losing a drop of oil or water, it was in great condition... I got a 50000 km warranty for the service also.. dont know if...

So one moment everything is fine the car is driving fine downhill 3000rpm-ish... the other rpm goes to zero and the car is dead.... Popped the bonnet and saw the 2-3 inch wide hole on the engine block, just above the oil dipstick and a metal object sticking out of it... Doubt I can source a...

Yes left hand drive, you are correct. Thx I will check that and see if it is the problem. Are these connections hard to access, is it a bumper off job or the car may be jacked with the bumper undertray plastic removed? I have read somewhere that the upper connectors are instalation left for...

Could anyone take a picture of their footwell area where these connectors are located?

My front fog lights havent been functioning since I bought the car, although indications on the instrument panel light up normally when I switch them on. Relays on the far end of the UCH are all in place (6 of them I believe) but there are some connectors which are left unplugged, presumably by...

Ok so u r saying that AC can be used just for cooling but not for heating, and that for heating to be effective, the engine coolant passing to the heater matrix must be hot. I am asking because I can get hot air straight away (no waiting for engine temperature to rise) after cold start in my...

I have regassed my aircon so it works perfectly when set to cold. As far as heating is concerned hot air is coming out at all times except when car is started. It blows cold air until the engine coolant heats up, no matter whether ac is on or off. What I want is to have the heating the moment...
