For Mike172Sport, thanks for the pm. Cant pm you back your inbox is full.
Do you work for Renault ? Is it possible for you to check the price from a renault dealer there ? The part number is 8200053557. Im interested to see how much Renault SA is pulling the piss.
I have located a crashed...
Hi,
anyone know where I could get hold of a new throttle potentiometer for my clio 172 ? Mine has packed up and the local Renault dealer here (South Africa) wants to rush me R4400 for one. Im sure one can be had for a lot cheaper over there. Any info, links etc would be appreciated.
I think they are the tits ! Would obviously depend on costs. Locally they cost around R1800ea so around R7200 for the set. Thats about 640 pounds. What do they go for that side ?
Hi chaps. Was just wondering if anyone knew of a set of these going for sale. I am from South Africa and would love to get my hands on a set for my 172. Anyone know of a set for sale and willing to courier them out to SA, obviously at my cost ?
Cheers.
In the 172 you do need to remove them. The bottom of the A Pillar covers clip into the sides of the dash. If you dont remove them first, the dash wont come out.
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say thanks for all your help on Friday regarding this. The job was actually really easy and happened without much fuss. I know have possibly the only clio 172 without, yes you heard correct, WITHOUT ANY RATTLES !! Car is dead quiet, even over rough surfaces. Its amazing...
Thanks for all the assistance. Still one question to be answered: Why does WackoJacko say you need 2 people to remove the dash ?
And why do you have to wait a few hours, surely switching the airbag off with the key in the door would disable it immediately ?
Guys please help me out. I am trying to join now as we speak, apparently South Africa is not a Country as there is no option to select South Africa from the list when trying to join online. What do I do ?
I will be joining the club, problem is I dont have a credit card and I am in South Africa.
I havent noticed any screws under the steering column. Do I have to drop the column to its lowest position to see them ? I only want to take the top of the dash off, not the whole thing. Is it still...
Hi Sorry about that, dunno what happened, but this was what I mean to post:

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie to this forum as I am in effect crossing the floor from the Peugeot stable to Renault.
I was wondering if you could help me. I am at present looking to buy a 2002 Clio 172 mkII. Would it be possible to post any common problems you have had with the mkII model that...
