    182 miss fire on cylinder 1

    Well for completeness ... in case someone comes back to this thread .... The car if fixed for the price of an inlet manifold gasket !!! seems there was a small leak, that was enough to confuse the electronics at tick-over with no load ...... IF you have the same problem it's a lot cheaper to...

    I'm thinking the same ..... Is a Renault agent the best place (Renault tools) or a specialist tuning garage ??

    Possible causes of missfire - checked all sorts

    Thanks for the tips ..... but my 22mm spanner is not slipping off ..... it's just not budging anything either .... being limited to garage floor with axle stands means is't impossible to get anything longer than 50cm on them ...... I'll try the wire brush and leaving the wd40 to soak overnight...

    182 miss fire on cylinder 1

    Darren ... I changed two injectors for new on cylinder 1 & 2 and still get the engine warning message for cylinder '1' ... is it possible that the injector for cylinder 3 or 4 could give the same message ..... i.e. message is for cylinder '1' whichever the injector is failing ??
