How are you getting on mate? That driveway looks like it ready to be extended into the garden ;) Finally got round to checking behind my rear door cards today and not too bad all things considered. Bit ypu can see where my one side has been repaired and like the other guy said be careful not to...

Hi buddy, how is the project going? I can relate to your story and kudos for finding and buying the same car back, great idea. Anyway good luck with it all.

Ok thank you, first time using these. Yeah i pressume because i have 2 warning lights that the fix i did was suspect but ideally was trying to find out exactly what the codes mean ie DF058 = fauly sensor DF038 = broken circuit. Ill try it again

Hi all, Really hoping someone can help, my car hasn't been running right since Christmas last year. So I'm experiencing, bad idle (even for a 172) stalling at junctions and rich exaust smells. I have been told everytgimg from timing to sensors. I've replaced, the throttle body, TDC sensor...

Heres a picture

Nobody had this issue or knows where I csn buy this from short of cutting off a car?

Hi Guys, So replaced my exhaust yesterday and had a fault code for the post cat Lambda sensor, i have a replacement sensor but noticed that the connector the sensor plugs into had been pretty much cut in half so no wonder there was a problem with it haha! Anyway I can find the sensors no...

So after changing the MAP sensor and the throttle body it was the throttle body that stopped the car stalling finally, i was super pleased as just fixed it today then the exaust decided to fall off... ahh life as a renault enthusiast :) Thanks everyone who replied and suggested help

Hi guys, I am in the market for a new exhaust, I want stainless for the longevity but the stock sound. I was looking at the k-tec stealth sports ie with the silencer but this thread worries me, how much louder than the OEM are they please? £400 seems decent for stainless but worried about...

What machine did you install this on, ie 32bit and windows version?

I thinking is 170

Love that steering wheel great touch, are you same Stefan from youtube who had the yellow turbo beast?

Depends how you installed your software, usually they come.with key generators but unfortunately mine didn't. Best thing I can recommend is to contact the person who you got the software off and see if they have one or csn help you thats what I did.

How can anyone check the timing without locking the cams?

Cheers for the reply mate. So so far I have had the throttle body off and cleaned it all inside and out, you could eat your dinner our of that now but made no difference. By the way mine is a 51 plate 172 ph2. As I understand the idle control valve is inside the TB isn't it? I would like to...

So I am worried timing has been done incorrectly as I wasn't having this issue before i recently had the cam belt and dephaser changed, although it's hard to tell as I hadn't driven much because the car was off the road. I definitely had an issue with my TDC sensor as when I checked the loom the...

Clio 172, 2001. Is that one of the lambas then? Would that mean the car idles badly when warm, by badly I mean stalls a lot especialy when approaching junctions in neutral, or sitting, trying to reverse etc

Yes mine did, you need a new license code and re-register it

so that would mean even though i had an issue with my tdc sensor which is now fixed there is still something wrong? And timing issues dont show on clip do they? :unsure: So the saga with my idle issue continues.

Hi mate, hope you had a good holiday break! So as an update my clip software license expired but managed to rectify that thankfully and it's all working again till 2023 :). I have fixed the issue and my car now starts (before it wouldn't start at all) it was a cut in the connectors wire to my...

Yes that would be amazing, I've read so many threads on rough idles especially after belt changes it seems, I don't know what to think, I drove again today and I can drive it fine but when the engine is up to temperature it almost guarantees to stall when coming to a stop, and reversing is a...

What do you mean about the map values mate? Where and what should I be looking out for please?

Oh I already made that mistake this year, but glad I did tbh mate I caught the rust just before I got into the floor, now she all good

Yeah I just can't stop thinking about it now after seeing your pictures and just know there will be rust waiting for me

Nice work on the clean up! How did you get this view of the rear arch? Is it from the inside behind the door cards? I'm tempted to check mine and do the same.

Any suggestions in the norwich area? I was speaking to cit-ren about the issue, they suspected timing. But changing the plugs etc can't hurt can it, I can almost guarantee it's not running as good as ngk plugs and can't remember when they were last done.

Yeah cheers mate, I will do that. Do you think it sounds like an injector, plug issue? The car seems to rev really nice through the gears, it's just at idle and pulling off in first is a bit jumpy, from there it seems sweet as as a nut.

Ok, good suggestion thank you, I will change to ngk laser platinum plugs as people seem.to favor them for these, is it a case for like for like OE parts for injectors?

The only other thing I thought of is that the fuel was fairly old and had been in the car for some time, up to two years, but it was treated with injection cleaner and equates for just under half the tank, I filled it with the best stuff shell do a week or so ago to the brim.

Sure, This video was taken just after I started the car idling on the driveway. This video was after a good run and the engine was warm, to me its considerably worse.
