172

Noticed that my speedo keeps dropping, so it will start off fine when I turn the car on but it seems that when I get into gear 4 or 5 the pin drops to zero. It also feels like there is a change in power when the pin drops. Notice it the most on the motorway. Any suggestions to what it could be ?

Following up on my previous post (https://cliosport.net/threads/172-cup-massively-over-fuelling.850820/) I thought I'd check if you had any other ideas about what could be causing my emissions problems before getting it remapped. As you can see it failed on everything! I know it needed a new cat...

Hi all, Just had my 172 Cup MoT'd today, unfortunately it (should have) failed due to hydrocarbon emissions, which they they think is from a dodgy remap in the past which tallies with the history I have. Does anyone know any companies down south that'd be able to sort the map out/return it to...

Hello, after reading the forum trough and also the PDF stating all. I think you got xenons if you got the washer but all 172/182 non Cup/Trophy ecc should have them. But it looks like my car has the Washer blanks in it. Can someone help me? Here is a photo of the dealer

Hello all, I have just purchased a converted Kangoo with a 172 lump in it. Absolutely love it BUT it doesn't work. It is cranking strongly but will not turn over. There are no immobiliser lights on the dash - there is an aftermarket immobiliser but it appears this is off. Coil pack is...

After lurking for 7 years I have found myself in a position to do something stupid with my money. I could invest in a OEM spec Clio, keep it tasteful and sit on it as an 'investment'. Or buy something outrageous and hopefully have a lot of fun... The spec sheet is on the forum from some old...

Hello. I'm having some problems again, a bit of a weird one. It can work fine for a couple of days, then not at all. it will crank for a couple secs when it decides to not work, but the cut out. Sometimes, i turn it over a couple more times and it starts right up, sometimes id cranks for two...

G'day all, My 172 clutch is at 200,000km, and starting to show signs of dying. You can depress the clutch fully and the clutch is still slightly engaged, and if you have it in first, it will start creeping forward, and reverse is impossible to get into without turning the car off and back on...

Hi team I need a couple of stub axle shims to sort a toe in/out issue on my 172. Problem is ... PMS and Kamracing want at least 75 quid o_O to ship those little things to where I'm at, in Australia. I can't find any locally, sadly. Near as I can work out via the interweb, Royal Mail is less...

Hi all! Hoping for some suggestions on what to check out to narrow down my idle issue. I recently picked up a P2 172 that’s done ~180k kms. Since I’ve owned it it’s had a pretty rough idle, which I’ve heard is common on these cars but recently it’s gotten worse to the point where it stalls...

Hi! Collected a 172 Cup in mondial blue last week so thought I’d start a project thread. The cars been on the forum previously.

Howdy all, have myself a clip 172, is lowered a bit and I've just had the timing belt done. Whenever the car is travelling straight at sub 20kmh and you foot it, it seems as if there's a vibration like a stuffed tie rod or unbalanced wheel, and goes away above 40kmh and doesn't return, it seems...

Back in a Renault again.. A little history (if this bores you scroll down for the car ;)). My first car back in 2006 was a black Clio mk2 Campus Sport 1.2 16v and loved that car, I then bought a Clio 197 R27 ex demo that I then kept for 3 years and was a very clean car. Photos below..I've been...

Hi guys wondering if anyone can help? I’ve just bought myself a tidy 172 Clio phase 1. All was good however after a long drive on the motorway I started getting a progressively loud helicopter rattle sound from the front near side. Everything seems tight and In place. the noise only seems to...

Hello fellow Clio rs fans! I have somewhat of a forgotten gem for sale, the very 1st Clio rs in history. Registered in week 50 of 1990, this was made a year before the road car went on sale. A genuine RS Factory race car with less than 22,000 miles, an MOT and even the factory Renault Clio Cup...

Hello, I'm looking to buy a car and I've recently driven a 2002 clio (172 I think or clio 2). I was just wondering if the steering being light is by default or if it's a problem with the car I drove. The only other car I've tried was a Peugeot 206 and the steering was a little bit more stiff...

Hello everyone, new guy in the forum and to the clio scene coming from croatia. I own a ph1 clio k4m 1.6 16v dynamic, completley stock except oz superturismo 16" wheels that i got with the car when i bought it. The car looks stupid with stock suspension and those rims and also it is very soft...

Howdy give mind Ph2 ‘02 172 has what look like new belts and is driving very well. No documented service history until I got my hands on it. No idea if the previous owner or the one before did this, but the alternator top bolt is missing so the alternator is sitting on the metal a/c pipe and...

Hi all, To provide some help and guidance out there to owners who need to replace their 172 CUP windscreen, I have just been through this process (due to a crack) and it is not straight forward in terms of making sure the right one is fitted. If you provide your registration and chassis...

Hey guys, new to the forum. There's a Phase 1 Clio for sale on the interwebs for £5,700. Looks clean, 85k miles, almost original. Is it worth the high price tag? Or am I dreaming?

Hello! My 172 cup steering has become 'notchy' with intermittent resistance turning right. Left is absolutely fine. It feels very odd. I've recently had the gearbox out, so had the subframe dropped down. My uninformed guess is that the rack might be damaged. Anyone else experienced anything...

Hiya! My name's Calum, I'm living in north Essex and just a couple months back in April I bought my first ever track toy/weekend car: a stripped out Clio 182. This is my second ever owned car and I'm really happy with it; I drive it alongside my first car, a mk1 Yaris d4d. Similar size but...

Hey guys! just got a bone stock 172, I already have somewhat idea of what I might need to turbo my 172, but as there are people who have already done that, I wanted to ask exactly what I need to do it or any recommended turbo kits or other thing to look up to (like forged internals and other...
