Thanks for that! much appreciated, thats me sorted!

I dont suppose you have the part number .... I have searched online ..... id rather get a renault one Cheers

Thanks guys, I will try that and see if it sorts it and gets me above 32mpg ! Cheers!

Hi all Few Questions, Does the 182 really have 2 maps? and im guessing the hot map is active when the rev limit is 7200? If this is the case, and though its cold, even after a 20 min plus run im not hitting the high rev limit? Will i be using more fuel? and also why arent i getting the hot...

Yeah good point Gally, after a bit of Googling, It seems Mercs have the heated washer bottles, never knew that sort of thing existed, Its warmed from the coolant apparently. I cant see how it would make much difference immediately mind, as the engine would be cold aswell.

I actually, was thinking, why dont car manufacturers make the water in the washer bottle (mildly heated) or what about heated washer jets as a retro fit? Still its something more to break on a clio :) .. Incidentally when its frosty or going to be frosty I park the car nearer to the front of the...

And I'm not having a go, please don't think that I just know how difficult these cars are to get good results from, I just wonder if there's something more you can gain without spending on the car that's all ;-)

Oh, I don't think for one minute you are wrong, the point im making (badly) is that if you are not exploiting your car with its current power 100% then, much as you would like, do you need more power ?

Great choice you will love ... The Clio 182 has so much character and so much fun

To be honest .. I quite like the smell .. Find its stronger after giving it some beans

^ this :)

Have a janspeed and decat... Really can't fault it, a little boomy around 3500rpms but (that goes if you have a cat) but top end sound is very very addictive ....

I had this problem also, for me new unit fixed it. But i did put up with it for a long time and its quite annoying!

Cant believe im here again posting on this thread.... I did have my ass kicked.... In my personal opinion.... Decat... definitely more free revving, and appears easier to stall (i dont do that much) - Less backpressure I guess, oh and more noise. No difference on mpg for me though Cat... the...

Watched fifth gear the other day and they had a Clio 200 with VBH driving, timed her laps etc with chip etc, and then without, as I remember she got a better time by having some more driving tuition... (im not saying you cant drive!!! i dont know you)

A bit late ... I know ... But if anyone reads this thread and wonders how to do it ..... A old 8mm Socket and a lump hammer works a treat :)

Just had cambelt and auxbelt done... Tappy noise gone, thought I would ask for the old dephaser back to take a look .... Dismantled it none the wiser mind. but looking at my old one the inner ring looks like it should move ........ As this video shows...

Just as a update PBCup did your rattle get sorted after the belts , dephaser?

Yeah its not a cheap do, but its the price you pay, I can forgive the car its many faults as its so much fun. I was looking to replace it but with what!? its still a fun car to own, despite its appetite for front tyres and engine mounts.

Thanks, for that Yeah my lil clio is gonna be raiding my piggy bank... Belts and dephaser it is! fortunately its due the belts shortly, so getting the dephaser at the same time makes sense

Thanks all, I have done a video not sure how to upload on here, but put it on u tube, strangely it sounds like the sound is coming from the battery side of the engine, not sure if you can pick that up on the video though. Id appreciate a opinion, if its dephaser then Birchdown it goes...

Wasnt sure if that was the case, do the Dephasers when on the way out, sound like tappets?

Hi All Im wondering if anyone has any suggestions, I have a clio 182 and it taps (top end tappety sound) when warm, Any thoughts on what it could be and resolving it?, oh and it doesnt change with engine revs Thanks

Saw you flash ! heading away from Police Station, in winsford on bypass sorry didnt let on! was too slow! Lovely and clean I saw that much

I see the one with the Sticker out and about around Winsford a lot,

Seen it myself at Kingsmead..... Lovely Colour, Only LY one I have seen .....

I have a Janspeed and when I got the car it had a decat, Fitted a renault cat, (to get through mot) and left it on a few weeks got a whistling at 2.75 - 7k revs that would be there all the time, (but if you revved it when stationary - nothing) got a genuine renault cat fitting kit - no change -...

So much choice !!! I thought this would be easy!!! Cheers all Im gonna go look at fastchips then im coming back for maps!!!

So fastchips the place..... Ill have a look so i need to pay for the Map, licence, and box thingy? Thanks all ... Have i missed anything more?

Didnt know that, so does £190 include everything I need, and where to get one from?
