clio 182

Hey fellow Clio lovers/owners. I figured some of you may enjoy this story I’ve written for PH about how the UK created the 182 Trophy back in the Renault Sport glory days. I never knew how much power the UK division had in its development... Hope it’s ok for me to post this here; just sharing...

Hi all, So I’m new to this forum, I just got a Clio 182 after having a mk2 golf. This is very different. As you can see I’ve got a few mods : air filter, miltek exhaust and uprated engine mounts. Would love some advice on maintaining the car as it’s got 77k miles full service history and most...

Hi everyone, My Clio 182 rattles around 3000rpm, sounds like the speakers and the stereo but constantly changes. I don't know how to fix this, do i just need to put up with it. I've tried putting screws in the front speaker passenger side but I cant find any that fit. But it seems to be the...

Hey everyone I’ve had my slam panel off for ease of access. Now I’ve put it back on the bonnet won’t close! Is there a specific way to fit it? Cheers in advance

The pre-cat Lambda sensor was recently replaced on my 182 and it's still posting a fault code. So a friend and I hooked a Solus up today and looked at the voltage being sent by each of the sensors using a live data run. We then unplugged each sensor to see effect. It would seem that the post...

This is my first post and I apologise if it is a question asked 10000 times. I’m currently a 182 owner. However I am looking for help to spec a F4R build. I’m very likely to use K-tec itbs but apart from that I’m wondering about which camshafts would be best. And if arp bolts, head gasket etc...

Hi folks Wanting to get 15” Team Dynamics 1.2 wheels with Nakang NS-2R’s from the standard setup. Am I right with: 195 x 50 for tires? 7”, 4 x 100 with 45 offset for wheels? Guy at Demontweeks says 35 offset but I’ve read elsewhere on here. This car will be a track car. Cheers in advance.

I’ve found one I like but would like to know if they are any good it’s brand new from an eBay shop it’s £199 reduced from £299 But there’s no make or anything so I can’t do much research. Would or has anyone bought a cheap one on eBay if so is it any good or should I save up and get a well...

Thought I would start this thread as a record of my car in competition. It started as a standard 182 Cup and I had the intention of buying it to sell on but I decided to keep it and turn it into a rally car. I used to sprint and hillclimb around the South West along side @GrahamV182 . I had a...

Hi everyone, so after owning a Flame Red 172 for 4 years and then a black R27 for 2 years, I built myself an EVO 8 with EVO 9 look. It was and still is my dream car. But the more I remembered my previous two cars, the more I wanted one again. These little pocket rockets are so fun to drive. I...

HI I just brought a clio 182 and it has a slight whine at low rpm under 2k is this a noise the car is supposed to make or could it be something else Thanks

So It has been pretty smooth sailing with the clio for the past 6 or 7 months but Now have a problem and wondering if anyone could shine some light. I noticed a slight bearing, knocking noise, you wouldn't notice if you went listening for it. Hand a look round the engine and noticed that the...

Hi all, My 182 has developed a squeak from the front left when turning hard to the right (leaving parking spaces etc). There is also sometimes some shuddering from the front end during these same manoeuvres, although I had previously thought this might be down to crap tyres. At recent MOT the...

Randomly came across a inferno?182 at the Swan pub in Chappel near colchester essex,i think the fella may work there. Nice plate to.

hi, guys, I am thinking about doing a muffler delete on my 182 and i want to ask about how loud it will be ????? thanks .

for a 182, which is a better buy? Everyone suggests Ngk, but the R26 sparks are cheaper. And I've see them included in a turbo build. I intend to add some engine bits eventually such as intercoolers and get a remap and maybe induction or Inlet. Cheers

Hi all My timing belt went so stripped the head off to find all 16 valves bent but i noticed there was only 1 locating dowel on the block at the flywheel end is that normal or is there supposed to be 1 at the timing end also? Thanx in advance for any help.

Hi guys, I've just got my hands on a 182 with both cup packs and I'm trying to remove the centre caps on the alloys to see if I have locking wheel nuts or not. The previous owner said there wasn't any fitted so want to make sure. Only problem is I can't seem to get the centre caps off? There's...

Hi guys, I'm new to owning a 182 and either due to a dodgy salesman or my inability to properly check a car over before buying it, the exhaust has completely failed. One month after purchase. I'm in a position now where my local garages won't touch the car due to it being an after-market...

My first post as a new member: K-Tec are building a hillclimb and sprint car for me using a rather neglected Clio 182 as a basis - its in a rather nifty French Racing Blue colour and its registration number is M100CUP. The car is currently covered in about 2 inches of dust and debris and...
