Mines never been changed on the 182 and doing 100 miles a day at the minute, although personally id just take the car on the trip it will be at the back of your mind the whole journey.
I need to do a trip to scotland this month too so im in the same boat but its going as i dont have another car...
mine came on yesterday, plugged it into my mates diagnostic machine and its the post cat sensor not working correctly, same as yours mine runs fine hot and cold 44mpg usually, ordered the sensor today, my only worry was wrecking the cat if these sensors wernt working or id just leave it, nearly...
hey well done to you, im in the same situation as mine needs doing too, wish i could have a crack myself but just not confident enough to have a go, do alot of miles in the car so it has to be right, well done again as you have obviously saved yourself some money there.
As above but i want to keep my steering wheel controls, the car is a 182 clio.
Im guessing it will be a lead that i will need, would prefer a half decent unit too.
Any info appreciated,
regards lee
Thread from the dead maybe, glad i read it though as ive only had my 182 a couple of weeks am off outside to have a look at the state of my bonnet catch, certainly dont need that happening.
I went through this stage at 17-18, my first car was a citroen ax gts,put 17 " wheels on tinted the lights, stupid 4" exhaust, stood back and thought cool lol.
If you like it thats all that matters as its yours and your taste but just start to have a look around you will start to see what people...
Well if your a newbie to modding cars mate i will just point out unless you already know, clear or "lexus" rear lights, silver wipers, random stickers, neon washer jets and other ebay tat does not = modding a car, just makes it look thomas the tank.
I know nothing about lowering a car so cant...
Just didnt plan on having to pay out so much, if a job needs doing i to tend to have it done once so i can drive the car without worring about it.
I only know about the dephaser pulley through this site or i would have just done the cambelt like on any other car ive owned and like stated i guess...
Only had my little 182 a week, love the car, its an 04 plate and done 43k from new.
I bought the car knowing it needed a cam belt and two front tyres and paid accordingly for the car, thought about £500 would cover it.
Now ive looked into things im wondering what to do,
cambelt change, no...
Ive had 3 uk imprezas and never had an issue, found them very reliable, the sti import versions however are a different story, dont know why people bother with these.
Mine all had good history and wernt messed with, when you start playing with the boost etc thats when you start having problems.
Only just got my 182 clio and need some interior mats, seen a few on ebay but dont know of the quality, so wheres the best place to get some from, any ideas welcome.
cheers lee
Yeah pretty sure, but will double check on monday.
Just so happens a lad that works out of his garage is a renult specialist so guess thats where he is getting the tools from.
he's not just a mate thats going to change it on his drive with an adjustable spanner though, he has his own garage and is more than qualified i would have thought.
If it snaps he owes me an engine but i will look things up before it goes in and i do thank you for raising concerns, i will have...
Agreed, he has the required tools now, certainly not a half wit so im not worried, its a straight forward job in my eyes, just awkward and time consuming.
