Hi all, I have been sorting the wiring under my seats today (annoying service and airbag light and pretensioner and seat position sensor fault codes) and have used the 3.3Ohm resistors for the airbag wires. I was just wondering if I can use resistors in the pretensioner side too as this will...

Hi all Battery has just passed away, RIP lol. I was just wondering if I need to stick to a 063? I can get a Bosch S4 008 for pretty much free. Cheers

Hi I've just popped a decat pipe on and have a couple of questions: Do you still use the donut gasket? (I have) I haven't used the spring loaded bolts, I used some bigger ones that came with the decat. Is that OK? How the hell do you get the o2 sensor out of the old cat??? Cheers

Hi all, Quick question - I have a 182 FF (Cup suspension) and have been offered free of charge some H & R 40mm lowering springs that are currently on a 172. I was wondering if they will fit my 182? Thanks MAC

I installed a new aux belt, pulleys, tensioner etc today after the previous one shredded a little bit. I have gone to start it and it makes a whirring noise, but wont start. I have checked the alternator, the timing belt looks ok and is turning when you try to start it. Has anyone had this...

Hi, Had a bit of a blow coming from my cat, on inspection there was no car fitting kit, just a mix match of bolts and washers, so I got a fitting kit. The old gasket was sat nicely in the cat, flush and flat. I have put the new one in and was advised to tighten the cat and manifold together...

Got a 182, few little issues. I've replaced the ABS rings and front wheel bearing. I've also reset the brake pedal switch but the traction control is being weird. there is no light when parked or stood still but as soon as you pull off it comes on. Anyone else had this happen? thanks

Hi all, Just working through some issues I have and have been reading previous threads and was hoping I could get a definitive answer really. Could a faulty brake light switch be causing the occasional ABS vibration and the traction control light to come on? Thanks

Got my 182 this week as a bit of a project. I have scanned it today and got (quite) a few codes. Injection DF002 - throttle pretentiometer circuit track DF003 - air temp sensor DF045 - map sensor fault *these al had Memory next to them so dont know if they were stored/old codes ABS PO66...

Hi all, Just a bit of advice a friend has asked me to get. His 182 has pretty much all lights on the dash - traction control, ABS, airbag and service light are all on. I know his front wheel bearing needs doing and a new ABS ring fitting (think he is sticking a new hub on) but I was...

I have just been having a look for a few bits and bobs online for my Monaco Blue ph2 172 and a couple of websites have said that the Monaco Blue's are rare, only 468 made??? Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this? Thanks

Hi I am hopefully buying a KTEC straight through decat pipe for my ph2 172 but have a couple of questions: 1. If it is installed with the 2 lambdas, will it throw an engine light? 2. Will I get the raspy noise and pops with a standard system and KTEC decat? Cheers in advance

Hi all, I have just fit Powerflex dogbone bushes to my Phase 2 172 and WOW!!! I have been involved in the VW scene for 10 years and have only ever used the diesel P/flex dogbones on petrol cars because of the vibrations. I havent got any nasty vibrations with the 172 and it is so easy to get...

I have just done the front brakes tonight and have noticed that on full lock, both in neutral and in gear that it makes an awful noise. It doesn't drive any different. I have had the cap off the power steering fluid and there is fluid there. I have also tried to bleed it - full lock to full...

I have noticed the last couple of days that my engine has a slight misfire but just at idle, around 8000rpm. I know the exhaust had a blow where the centre section and backbox joined so had that fixed with fresh paste and clamp. I have sonic cleaned my injectors, cleaned the throttle body...

Hi, I am looking for some spacers for the rear of my 172 at the mo and have stumbled across some of the square spacers that fit behind the brake discs. What are peoples experiences with these??? Cheers

Hi, I have an annoying misfire on idle but there are no engine lights. I have a sonic cleaner and want to clean the injectors but dont know how to get them off. There is what seems to be the bottom of the inlet manifold, a big cast piece of metal in the way. I can see cylinder 4 injector...

Hi, I was going over the car today and was under when the engine was on. There is a blow where the backbox and centre section join. I cant see any paste on it either and the clamp looks fooked. If there is a blow could it cause a lumpy idle and feel a bit down on power? Ive checked the...

As above really, looking for someone close to me (Durham) with an RSTuner that could drop the 98 RON map onto my Clio 172? Obviously I would pay for the privilege haha. I can travel too if someone is a little further afield. Cheers

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone had had a remap done on their 172/182 in the North East? Picking my 172 up in an hour or so and want to get the basics covered - remap, air filter etc before I start on the chassis. I have read a few things about an RSTuner??? Have had a quick clicky but...

Hi, Im extending my search for a 172 and was just wondering which is best, the 172 or 172 Cup? Cheers in advance.

Hi guys, I am in the process from moving over from the German scene and on the lookout for a Clio 172. I have found one with a dealer near me that is like an electric blue, it is a 2002, has service history and is only £995. Just wondering if this is a good price and if there is anything I...
