Hello, After many faults with various things to do with the electric throttle I was wondering what would be required to go back to the old school cable throttle on a 172 ph2? At a guess I would presume I need the 172 throttle body cable ecu engine loom sensors of some sort pedal any info...

If the reverse light switch is broken could this chuck the electrical fault light up? ​Jack

People who post questions like the OP has asked make me laugh its like they want to get ate, chewed up and verbally abused paha, now on a serious note, best thing I did to my 1.2 was strip it bare and I mean bare, but that's just me ​jack

10w40 oil and the noise stays even when car is up to full working temperature, and yes they were done at my local renault dealer hoping it might just go but it's definitely a strange one! The electronic fault light is on too the one that looks like a loaf of bread could it be to do with Vvt...

How long do people reckon to leave the car running for? I am certain it isn't dephaser as when it gets to temperature it doesn't make the diesel noise at all

Yeah the dephaser is deffo done, and yeah I have had it running for 20 minutes so surely oil should be around engine now? :O

Hello i might be making an idiot out of myself but here goes My old engine died about 6 months ago I then brought a second hand engine off ebay which claimed it was fine with no knocks or anything, I have no reason to dis believe this as the company seemed to be a respected "ebayer" after...

I appreciate the replys, the thing is I had the dephaser changed as this was the last problem I had, the noise doesn't get worse when it's hot like when the dephaser is going, it does it when cold and hot and is fine on tick over, could it be to do with my lifters? Seeing as the engine has been...

No ideas? :/

Depends on what way enclined you are, by this I mean would you get enjoyment out of doing a conversion or are you the type of person that bails out when things start going tits up ( which they WILL ) I personally carried out the conversion and I am glad that I did, but that's because I enjoy...

Another bit of info, none of my dash lights are working, almost like they are not plugged in!

By can bus fault you mean a broken wire heading towards the uch? Just found a tiny green wire that has broken where the interior loom meets the engine loom the socket with the rubber around it, could this be the problem? Jack

No the car does not start now because it can't get to that stage had this problem way back and it was the silly 5 amp fuse, checked that this time and its okay :/ could be earths? Jack

any ideas? :o

Hello After putting my engine and gearbox in I found that an orange plug with two wires ( orange and yellow ) had snapped, it is located near the passenger side driveshaft on the gearbox if that makes sense! ciuld someone please confirm what this plug does and if they have one then please...

Bump

2150 torque after what the flol please someone test this so they can be shamed, as previously stated, if I could get those gains for 600 coins then why waste my time going boost :L

So it doesn't matter then? Surely the water pump would be "sucking" instead of "blowing"? ;) maybe I'm just being a dinny but I have just carried this out and whilst putting the belt on I looked and thought to myself! could you just reconfirm this someone? By confirm I mean that the engine...

Isnt the water pump running backwards on this? :S

I'm sorry but I don't like you. The bey wants a cherry bomb to fit to his car because its a race car!

Because race car.

Oh so getting the pops and bangs would be RON 98 with additional silly noises? Correct? :)
