mines only on full left normally but getting more frequent on right as well now so will be sending it in to be checked soon thanks though! okay thanks for that, will be asking the garage to check that as well then when it goes in later in the week!

So yet again my 182 is running like a bag of rubbish. For the past 5 days its been idling below 500rpm, loosing power at any speed and lurching continuously. Thought it would be lambda, turns out had a diagnostics tonight after a ridiculous drive on the motorway, it's pre-cat lambda is...

mine did the same for about 2 months after i first bought it, then just randomly sorted itself. However didn't drive it again for about 2 weeks last month and the first few times it started doing this again so not sure whether it sitting idle for any time could have something to do with it as well

ah thank you for that :) will get the car up and check that tomorrow as noticed something hanging down but haven't looked properly yet to see what it is.

thanks, checked the fluid levels and they're all good which is confusing as everything seems to point to that usually being a cause. it's done it on the exact same part of the motorway both times now so maybe it's just a fault or it could be because it needs new abs rings but hopefully it's...

yeh the clunking i know is completely unrelated more worried about the braking but just checked the fluid level and it isn't low so no clue from there really

My 182 cup has suddenly decided it wants to start screwing up. The stop warning light has flashed up a few times combined with the handbrake light a few times when i've been on the motorway The manual doesn't really say much other than it could be a brake circuit fault/fluid is too low in the...

the exhaust is currently de-cat straight through bought like this have a cat waiting to go back on, could that be causing the problems?

thought it could have been a sensor but nothing showing and have been told that the previous owner made the car run like this on purpose which i dont understand at all :/

hi, so had a problem with the way my 182 for the past week and have just been told that the running issues could be down to a remap a previous owner did on the car. Personally i have never heard of a remap being done specifically for this outcome. What happens is the car runs at hardly any power...

okay thanks for the advice, gonna get it booked into garage asap

they hadn't had this problem before already asked them about it, car has been out of use for a month or so

no not from a dealer private sale from a friend

yeh was starting to think it's something wrong been a week of driving it and still doing the same not looking forward to this garage visit :/ thanks for the advice though

it's quite juddery when i brake but thought that might be down to the fact it's had all round new discs and pads and they were maybe bedding in but will get the ABS checked now as well at some point, thanks

ah thank you that would make sense from the picture on it, i have no idea tbh, it's come on a few times then goes off again! nope the ABS light isn't on, the serv light comes on when the traction control one does but that's it.

hi, so very new to clio's, bought a 54 plate 182 last week and today all of a sudden it has been losing power and idling at 500 rpm. put my foot down completely and still nothing then all of a sudden slams into life for a few seconds. Gave it a blast up the motorway and it seemed to start...

thanks millerin that breaks it down more easily! liampete i was originally looking at vw as i've wanted a golf for as long as i can remember but decent ones are few and far between atm all of them seem to have mileage through the roof and not in great condition :(

thank you :)

it's about the same distance, atm i havent got a way to travel too far, hoping this one local to me will be decent if not then will have to start looking further away i think.

it's on 67,000 so will be checking that with them that's the main thing i was looking for didnt realise there was so much else to keep an eye out for

gets quite expensive with the cam belt on top then. would the cam belt still need doing even if had been done recently?

i'm down in bridgend south wales so thats a good few hours from me i think

so the clink should be there then when turning the car on?

is the dephaser expensive to get done? just to know whether it would still be worth buying or not. ah good point about the small things thanks! the guy has dropped the price quite a lot needs to get rid asap as can't afford to keep it so hopefully if it's decent will be the right price. thanks...

definitely keep me busy, thanks for the advice!
