Good to hear its sorted. What version did you use in the end? Im on v176, installed years ago and stuck with it as pretty stable.

Had an excellent day and the r26 performed without fault. Driving standards were terrible overall with too many wannabe race drivers overtaking mid corner etc, was dissapointing in that respect. Loads of red flags in the pm but ended up getting a fair few clean laps in without traffic which...

Friday - Spa trackday. Weather forecast was dry and sunny, which did not dissapoint. Get to the circuit early am, sign on and get set up in garage 30. Went out on road tyres for sightseer laps and 1st few laps when open, as the ambient temps were still low and wanted to see if any damp spots...

Updates. Spa and Nurbugring trip done! Set off Wed afternoon, short trip to Newcastle for the overnight ferry to Amsterdam. Pre trip pic. Looks low as on its arse with tools, 4x track wheels etc. Arrive at the port. 18 Hour prison. After a s**t nights sleep due to noisy b******s...

Oem is always the best option, the crank locking pin is strong tool steel and can be used to undo and torque the crank pulley bolt. Also the setting tool fits well in the cam slots. On the other hand, if the aftermarket cam pulley lock is good and holds as good as oem, the cheaper setting tool...

Unlikely any faults will be stored. You would need clip to test the sound if its possible.

As above the speedo/rpm instrument cluster, proper name is TDB "Tableau de Bord"

Only the bottom half of the heated rear window works - rear screen bars are damaged. Sometimes on intermittent wipe the wipers just keep going - poss uch Sometimes the heater control lights on one side are dim - bulb needs changing or fitting tighter The lights left on alarm doesn't sound...

Used diesel pump repair to do a few uch repairs, and no issues since.

Yep tons on ebay. Its a generic trw caliper shared with loads of renault and vw/audi etc.

Map sensor readings on idle will give you an idea if cam timing is out. Should see 400mbar on idle from memory. Might be chasing your tail a bit if its not verified correct with the relevant tools. Renolink is mega on the newer renaults, but for clio2 clip works great. Mines ancient v176 which...

Updates. Cleaned and a coat of c2v3 and a run out. Still mocking up parts for the g25 setup. Tried the trophys tial mvs wastegate on the nortech manifold. It does not fit the downpipe dump tube flange as its different, so have ordered a turbosmart compgate 40 to save chopping the downpipe...

Updates. Spa this week so done a bit of prep yesterday, including a quick clean inside and out. Started packing, bit of wheel and parts tetris in the back. Weather is looking good too. Roll on Friday.

Ive changed a rack in situ without dropping subframe, not too bad. The solid mounted dci rack is loads better than oem in my opinion. Never been a fan of the bushes on the mounting points on oem.

If obd is saying 900 id go with that. The rev counters can be quite far out. Clip might be better to see if you can reset the adaptives as itll be in english. The french shorthand on Renolink is a nightmare sometimes :LOL: Cam timing defo right?

If you have power at the pump connector it should be pumping if it works. Id be checking the earth wire for continuity.

s**t cold running is usually due to the cold start mapping. Stock cold start has quite a bit of ign r****d to warm ths cat fast. No choke as its not a carburettor, ecu controls/enriches the fuelling on cold start using coolant temp.

Worth resetting the adaptives on the ecu. Wonder if the icv adaptives can be reset on ph1. As for hot idle, will always be a little bit rough due to the cam profile. Bumping the idle up to 900rpm on a good map makes it smoother. Also a good map will sort out the spluttering from cold.

Good to hear abs sensor sorted it. Toe is OK as neutral, but would be better set at -0°10 overall ( -0°05' each side ), it will turn in sharper.

Agreed, its got to be one or the other, fitted length not right or the hydraulic lifters are not controlling it right. Im unsure whether to give the 197 inlet cam one more chance. Chris/Efi tuned one with same 197inlet, 182 exhaust cam recently and it worked well.

Updates. Blue dci is almost on 207k now as been commuting to Hull quite a bit. No dramas as all motorway driving, Its not a bad drive being honest with the m62 being quiet to Hull. Almost daily sight this week. Give it the blue dci a hoover out a couple of weeks ago. Drivers seat is getting...

Will do mate before i get balls deep stripping it (y) Out of interest, do you think the double supertech springs may be more setup for solid lifters instead of hydraulics?

Update, Well nothings happened really. I was brainstorming with Haswell on things that might have changed on the car since he had it. The only real changes are supertech double valvesprings, larger supertech valves and different inlet and exhaust cams. Haswell suggested looking at the...

Suspension top mounts. Inner tie rods and track rod ends, as you will need the geo doing and fresh steering parts usually make a massive difference. Personally id get the crowbar on the bushes and balljoints to check if they are good or not.

Check wheel speeds on diagnostic to see whats going on. Ive only ever had tc issues with geo out. Any pics of the printout for the geo? A lot of places are s**t at doing it sadly, might be worth getting it checked elsewhere.

Id be concerned about the suspension damage, incase it does not drive right. Might be nothing, might be driving down the road c**k eyed.

My original snapped in the same place. Heard a few weeks of pings which i thought was the ratchet slipping, later realised it was cable strands snapping :LOL: Might be due a clutch if getting a bit heavy.

Id imagine it will need to be fitted by a dealer or approved specialist for warranty, might be wrong though. Out of interest where has it broken? If your confident it was routed right and it was just crap quality, id stick aftermarket on. I stuck a cheap motaquip clutch cable on my dci years...

Common one that, Nice easy fix. Take it back for geo now its done, itll prob be miles out.

Airbag ecu recalibration on a megane 250 last weekend, customer had removed recaros and fitted normal seats. Pretty easy to sort with Renolink.
