Anyone here know this BG 182? Cliosport.net sticker in the rear windscreen. Just bought it cheap, needs a few things but not bad at all really.

Straight back to the garage that's done the work and hope for a goodwill gesture!! You can swap engines pretty cheaply with these. When mine went I bought a bare engine with no history for £100, fluids cost £100 and I bought a new clutch for around £100, swapped it over on a weekend, although I...

Exactly this, as advised keep an eye on fluid levels and keep driving it. Would've thought it's no problem really.

Probably the fact they have a cold and a warm map. cold map tends to be jerky, clunky, throttle doesn't feel great and rev limit decreased. Once it gets to a preset temperature the warm map kicks in and makes it feel a million times better, or 'right'. If it's occurring at the same place on...

Have you considered dropping a 182 engine in, with a set of lumpy cams? You would need to research on here but some fellas are hitting nearly 200bhp with cams and a few supplementary mods (exhaust, intake) and that may work out cheaper? Oil cooler isn't needed I'd have thought....

Haha they're an utter c**t to get off, sack it off and grab the Dremel my friend. if you are sensible with what you cut the whole thing can go back together and not look like a mess. I would tell you where to cut but I forgot - last one I did was ages ago.

That isn't the coolant temp sensor lol why on earth would it be on the inlet manifold?! to the op: I'd be investigating the lambda fault

I've had similar sort of problems with one of my older clios. Cleaned up all the earths and battery terminals and that sorted it. Worth a go as it's free.

Have you measured the current draw with everything switched off? you should see some consumption if your battery is draining that quick. I'd pull fuses out one by one whilst watching the reading until it drops... Then investigate the circuit that fuse is related to... Something will be shorting...

Almost definately need a new clutch and with it grinding into gears you may as well get the box inspected for damage whilst it's off.

Yes

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the oil breather plate elbow - it's round the back of the engine, as he says basically under the coil pack.. As stated a pipe should run from that elbow to the intake piping elbow.

http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=267096 Follow that link, I think the 8th pic down shows his induction kit, on the elbow piping coming off the throttle body you can see the little elbow pipe that it should be connected to

Rubber hose connects that to the elbow pipe on your actual intake piping, if that makes sense

Fiddled gear linkages so I've got all gears after my recent engine swap. Took it for its first drive since the swap, realised as I barrelled into a roundabout that I hadn't tightened up the power steering pump/pipe nut enough and proceeded to lose it all onto my brakes and tyres. Fook that was...

Haha unlucky mate, I know the feeling. In my first 172 a massive hare obliterated the front end! I've hit several rabbits/hare at speed that have laughed at me and then ran off. Hard little b******s

Dropped the engine and box in on my own after being let down by a mate. Only took an hour, happy enough!

The post at the top of this page is me saying how I snapped the 3/8ths bit off the aux belt tensioner, 2 weeks on I've done the same to the replacement part haha. Thankfully got the belt on and Spring just about bolted in when it decided to let go, now just for the rain to stop so I can bolt the...

Swapped ancillaries from old engine to new engine. Play ended when I snapped the 3/8ths hole off the aux belt tensioner! It was all going so well. Would've had the car driving this week but now I have to wait until next weekend for new parts/enough time to drop the engine in.

Ah right. With engines being so cheap it makes sense to do it! I'm now at the point where I will buy the cheapest engine I can find (the one I'm getting is £100, no history and belts probs due) throw it in the car on a Saturday and wait till it blows up and repeat! If my car was a mint trophy or...

Cheers mate, thought as much just nice to know for certain. What happened to your engine?

started to strip my knackered engine out: Air box out Inlet manifold off Coil pack off Drivers side engine mount off Struts off Driveshafts off Engine and gearbox oil drained Bumper off Headlights off Exhaust manifold off Next up is ecu, slam panel and radiator, clutch cable and gear linkage...

Yeah exactly. It's all a gamble unless done by a specialist or I suppose (hope) a main dealer. Have been stripping the engine bay this afternoon and found part of an exploded piston just behind the butterfly valve on the throttle body haha.

Yeah the belts on mine weren't done by a specialist but because they weren't due for 18 months I felt I had a little more time. I knew the risks so accept responsibility. My mate thinks I'm a tit because I told him I was booking it in to have it done about 2 months back then persuaded myself it...

But then again I didn't spin off the road so in a sense got lucky compared to the other lad. Either way it sucked and I wouldnt wish it upon anybody!

Yeah I'm going to, it was pretty awful to be honest. The last person I spoke to at AA was incredibly pissed off on my behalf and within 20 mins of speaking to her a recovery truck turned up. She has raised a complaint on my behalf but I'll be putting it all in writing to them. I'm not one...

Recovery have only just turned up. Rang them at 10.30 am this morning originally. Been sat in a cold fucked Clio on a 70 mph dual carriageway since then. Nobody ever rely on the AA please :)

2?! That's rotten luck mate! I'm gonna spend the day deciding whether to strip for parts or repair. Thanks again. I suppose if I sell my Rallye I've got somewhere to strip it. Plenty to think about!

Thanks for your help mate. Might be interested in that engine actually. Would need to research what else is needed to get it running in mine.

Cheers for the kind words guys. It's part of life I suppose! I'd already looked at that a few days ago as a potential engine swap but had decided to sell the car instead. Thanks anyway. Called the AA at 10.30 this morning - was told they would be here at 12 o'clock... Now 1.30pm.... I'll just...
