ABS can be tested and diagnosed... its normally the older equipment isn't capable ;)
I see.
Looks like problem solved actually as i contacted Renault and the guy said its more than likely the pentiometer on the throttle pedal so i borrowed my mates pedal assembly and covered 25 mile and...
Thanks for that mate. Will look into it.
The diagnostic machine was a 'SUN' at a garage so assumed it was the business but who knows eh ? I do have my own 480 type which displayed the fact there was no errors but as you say may not go deep enough. Technician says abs can't be tested any way...
When i first start up the abs and esp warning lights are not on and then after a couple of minutes or so they come on ? presumably because i am using the brakes.
They have done this for a day or two so i had an abs ring fitted as i found one was cracked but its still the same. Turn the ignition...

You wouldn't know what to do with them anyway lol. Like most men you touch a woman like you are looking down the back of a settee for loose change.

Live long and prosper
Re: RECKON I CURED THE LIMP HOME MODE FAULT :)
It was for the short sighted amongst us and i can think of far more annoying things. Figured i was being helpful not annoying but i'll leave u to cope with your pettiness and bid u goodbye.
Cured the car by the way there was a verdigris type...
Got chance of a few electric throttle pedals for clio which look the same as my 172 cliosport one but will it fit ? or is fly by wire something different?
Got rubber cover on pedal but i'm not a purist.
Thanks:dapprove:
Okally dokally as neddy would say heres what i did and it worked in my case. Top of the gas pedal is a long connector which i detached and then put back in. LIMP MODE GONE !!!
Before we break out in fits of joy there is a down side:S Its a bit hit and miss because when i took it out again and...
I have exactly same problem on / off limp mode which corrects itself { or did }. Waiting for a code reader to arrive. my mate believe it or not said his radio code came up on his !! Maybe you decode it ?
Naaaa can't borrow his as he is away { my luck }
Anyhoo his was the coil pack and dirty...
Gone into limp mode . How do you get it out please ?
Got itself out last time but maybe i was lucky. Got a code reader on order so maybe i have to wait for this as no idea the reason for it.
Thanks:(
As a matter of interest there is a black rubber tube coming from top of the main air inlet from the air box. Should the other end push on somewhere or just hang down open ended like a battery breather pipe?
I have lack of throttle response and the rectangular orange light with the wavy line is on in middle of dash panel . Has actually flickered off and back came the response but only for 5 or 10 seconds then back on it came and no response again. Figured it might be the 57i induction kit i fitted...
Yep all is well.
Moral : Don't wash a 172 engine :)
Water runs under the plastic cover which acts ike a window sill and drips water down around the plugs. And it apparently screws up the FBW throttle electrics etc etc.
Your sealed plug covers don't work Mr Renault.
And as for you water:rasp:
Re: Archived Post from old forum
Not had any trouble with my mk2 phase 2 throttle ............................. Errrrm ok once i washed the engine and ended up with a chronic misfire as water was half way up the plugs and i had a tapping sound from top end ,lost all throttle response on a...
Thanks for that mat ed 30 but actually there is good news as going off down the road i lost all throttle and car stopped and the square orange light with the wavy line came on.{ Oh no }. Then started up and went like the proverbial stuff off a shovel and the tapping stopped. Going to see if all...
Sound like dephaser pulley or who did the belt? did use correct timing tools & loosen all the pulleys?
What & Where is dephaser pulley ? Had a look round on sites but nil result :(
Can't really say about the timing tools etc. Obviously its in their hands and you trust they know what they doing in that respect. As i said it ran perfect upto the damp problem
Thanks
