Hi guys,
After thoughts on the following, from anyone with experience of these MK4 RS's please!
My Renault Clio 1.6 Turbo Mk4 RS EDC (2013 plate on 61k, Getrag 6speed auto box) has developed a whining/grinding/subtle clicking type noise when driving. It came on just 4days ago, fairly...
@Sash @lemonnobby
Thanks for the comments guys..I ultimately had to kind of leave the garage to it. Got car back eventually today. Up in Aberdeenshire area, so miles away from any decent RS Specialist unfortunately. They failed to solve the problem, and ended up outsourcing to another (far...
Actually that's rubbish, plug in the part number and there are a few available, from various engine sized clios... All same part number, but there's a 5digit number at the sidethat seems to differ. Whether that makes a difference Lord knows ..
Part number confirmed as 284B19573R
Now the hunt begins..
Seems to be RS (&poss GT) specific part as most of the 1.2's I've seen on eBay have a different part number
So the saga continues... garage accepted the fact the sidelights are not intended to operate, fine, but the passengers side DRL not working as intended.
The garage have now had the front passengers DRL out, and there's no power going to it. So, that plus the rear passengers tail light, they...
Thanks pp200t
Attaching what I found in the smaller Renault sport Drivers handbook ..in case helps anyone down the line. It states the side light bulb under 'A' in the diagram is deactivated, so not necessary to change it...
Seems to also include the GT line in addition to the RS.
Perfect...
Many thanks guys, I'll feed this back to the garage! Are there any Renault documents detailing this you know of? Just in case garage as for 'proof'.
The rear side light bulb doesn't fix with a bulb change and apparently the fuse is ok too, so may be an earth or wiring issue? Bit of a pain...
Hi guys,
My Clio Mk4RS has failed MOT on both front side lights and rear passengers side lights not working.
Garage is reckoning it's the Body control module, which may be correct, however I see mention of daytime running lights in some Renault's doubling as the side lights (though the...
So...having a wee bit of an issue with my 182 pulling slightly to the right.
Its lowered i think 30-40mm on h &r springs...replacement rear 182 cup shocks and original front shocks.
New ball joints and wishbones are good.
Subframe has been replaced but the new one lined up just fine. Have...
No prob. Just felt the madness comment wasnt best wording. Yeh trouble is there aint many 182s or parts up in aberdeenshire...even edinburgh is 3.5 hrs drive :/ and i wouldn't expect anyone to post.
Struggling to find any places that reset the airbag ecu on ebay? Plenty for other makes but...
Cheers for offer John ..will bear in mind. Slim chance i might have been down that way.
Ryg...that could be really helpful thanks! Is that what they call the pretensioners?
Do you have all 4..or 2? And how much were you after for these..posted?
I ought to check first if they have fired..will...
Cheers buddy. I'll have a look about those places you mention that clear the crash data now. How can you tell whether the pretensioner has fired? I guess the drivers sest will likely have..surprised to hear the rears might have? Cheers
Thanks bloke. Guess I'll be on the hunt for an ecu.
Thanks Rob..very helpful comment. Having been searching local ads (north scotland) for past week..i can confirm there are no seats for sale in exhange for peanuts..so we're not.mad.
Hey guys
My mates 182 airbag (drivers side, seat) deployed..after he hit a kerb a week or so back. New wheel, hub and wishbone.
So we're now trying to get the airbag error codes / lights off..but also ensure the remaining non deployed airbags are operational.
I have an RS Tuner from Fastchip...
Anyone know where I can get a new one from? do Renault sell, and if so anyone know part number or how much etc? This is the rubber gaiter you see only once removing the exhaust heatshield under the car, and accessing the underside of the gearstick.
Currently swapping to the Yanoo stiff shift...
it's not quite mondial blue, and it's not quite artic blue...
I fancy painting the plastic trim that surrounds the gearknob, in blue, to match 172 cup blue interior colour. To create the same look as the V6.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
anyone know if there is a connector / adaptor you can buy that connects the standard 182 exhaust to afterwork mid sections , in particular to a Piper mid section?
I have a spare decat, but I'm loathe to butcher that just to get the standard cat back on.
Also, I need to replace the...
Re: Thinking of Part Ex`ing my 182
I'm trying to sell my 03 plate 172 CUP at the moment, it's on pistonheads (ref number 2815843) non premium ad. It's advertised at £2850 ono - am I asking around the right price for this? Also, anyone any idea of rough trade in value I might get for it...
I have a similar problem - my rear brakes are making a clicking noise when slowing from around 6mph to 0 (maybe that's the only time I can hear it) - seems to click on around every single revolution of the wheel. Have checked for cracked disc, but it's not, and it's not a substantial enough...
Hi all,
Just to say there's a K-Tec front lower grill for a Clio 172/182 available justnow on ebay, plug item no.250773832168 into the search box on ebay. Think these cost £100 through K-tec, this one is £39.99.
Bargain:rasp:
Hi all,
Just for those that might be considering a Fastchip remap from Henk.
I had a little experience with Fastchip from when I mapped my 225 Trophy, which no doubt about it was well worth the money with gains being much more obvious being a turbo.
The 172 remap too has made a worthwhile...
The noise is back! I've since tried doing what I did before to rectify it, but the engine mount beneath the battery seems to want to loosen itself after less than a mile of keen driving. I've tried tightening fully, and using locktite on the bolts, but it seems that the whole mount is slipping...
