engine

I broke one of the clips on my engine cover just wondering what solvent/adhesive I can use to stick it back on? I am concerned the heat from the engine may affect it in the long run. Cheers! Jay

Hi all, I have recently bought my 182 and have booked up for a track day this coming Wednesday, I have been over the car and carried out a full service, replaced brake fluid, and had my wheel alignment set up but I was wondering if any of you guys have had any issues with engine cooling on the...

Hey, first post... sorry if i'm breaking the rules! Basically i have noticed the 1.2 16v engine bay look rather different... I picked myself up a Haynes manual but it doesn't show my engine. I'm just curious to know if they are the same engine just ones better looking than the other? Ive got an...

Can anyone link me as to where to get the stickers / decals for the engine cover?

Hi, I've had a good search through the forum but cant find much conclusive evidence to my answer. I currently have Jenvey ITB's on my car, 48mm tapers with 120mm trumpets. I am looking for some camshafts to up the torque/HP a bit, I am looking for something that will still give relatively good...

Here is some pictures of the way my engine bay started life and how it looks now. Changed it from the silver inlets as the powder coating was rubbish and way too thick. Had the fuel rail, Top inlet, ECU bracket and the airbox brackets powder coated in a coal black. Im awaiting other items...

Doing a engine swap at the minute. Have the damaged engine ready to come out. I have a donor 182 to remove a engine from. Im trying to avoid carefully disconnecting stuff as the takes all day.Where are the main disconnects so i can just pull the engine, loom and hoses all out together? I...

I shattered my sump on a rock on a recent rally via a big dent in the sump guard which touched the sump itself. I pulled over and turned off within 200meters of the rock after seeing loads of smoke from oil on the exhaust. The engine was running, it didn't cut out, it was me that turned it off...

We have put a 172 engine on an engine stand for a project we are doing at work, there is something in the side of the engine with a knurled end, can't seem to remove it, it has threads on it but won't screw in. Any ideas what it is: MC

Hello :) I'm wanting to for a 197 engine into my 182 and I was wondering if anyone has done it before and could help me out with a few things? Gearbox hubs/shafts and wireing?

Standard 172 engine, no oil cooler, what grade do people use for track use and where is reasonable to buy it? Cheers

Hi All, Now on Ebay cheap starting at 99p. Thanks Renclio http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321881840500?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

When accelerating at any speed hard or steady there is always a tappet noise like older fords used to get. None of my other clios made this noise but they had only done mid 70k and this one has 107, could this be just engine wear? The car drives fine and pulls well so I'm not too concerned apart...

As above!

how much we talking to change over an engine ie 172 engine to 172 engine. Obviously it's a fairly straight forward swap but how much should I expect to pay or how many hours labour is reasonable?

Hi all, Not sure if this is a common or normal thing, but my 200 is going through engine oil much faster than any other car I've owned. I've done about 5k miles since buying it and it's been serviced during that time when they filled it with oil and I've put about 4 litres in it since, and now...

HAD my clio 4 years, absolutely no issues, now when I start the car from cold it dies straight away, dosnt matter if I try revving or not. Takes 3 or 4 attempts before it keeps running. Any ideas.

i have been trying to figure out why i have an annoying rattle, found the culprit, it was a sheared bolt on this front bit ( so bad i dont know the name of it) what does it do and is it needed as 2 of the 3 bolts have sheared and it would appear that the cabling that i believe goes over the...

Hi all, Removing air con from my 03 172. I had to cut the plug from the pump and want to know if I can remove this wiring back to the fuse board and pull the relay/fuse and have no adverse effects? Could do with a layout of the fuses and relays if so. Thanks.

Hi all. Done a search but I'm not finding much info. I know people have do/are doing this conversion. Anyway I'm currently halfway thru one and just need some help. I've used the Clio box and Meg engine with Clio driveshafts. Basically my questions are What radiator and coolant pipes...

Hi I'm getting very strong and loud vibrations when driving less than 900 rpm. If I floor it at 4/5 gear at low speed, I can feel and hear the engine and gearbox banging forward and backwards very hard. Also I'm getting a loud "bang" noise when releasing the clutch between gears (normally, not...

I am having a massive issue with my engine needing replaced... i have a on-going debate on eBay and a few people i know are saying no it won't fit and requires massive modification. I have been offered engine for £275 with upper inlet manifold from 172 as he says that will fit right in like...

See it on the news, well its was in the caption box at the bottom of the screen while the anchor talked about the news of the day.

Hello there I want to clean my 2007 Clio engine bay as it is pure filth, but I am a bit worried about any of the electrical ports and some of the mechanical components and how I could prevent getting water or chemicals in to those areas? Cheers

Basically, I'm taking out a 172 ph1 engine tonight and just need to check I'm not going to drop this on my foot. Where's the best places to fit the harness? I've got 5 seat belts and 3 towing hooks to boot.

This only seems to happen when I'm in McDonald's drive thru! It starts flashing on its own with no change in power/performance or anything, then goes off after 5 minutes or so, or after switching the engine off and on again. The car idles quite lumpy anyway but performs well. Any ideas?

Lol hate it when you have a left over bolt but worse is a missing one haha

Want to paint the fuel rail, possibly metal section of throttle body and the engine rocker cover. Don't really fancy removing it as I reckon I'll screw something up. Can it be done neatly in situation? Would I just clean it or something then paint some high temp paint on there?

Can anyone tell me where it is? 182 F4R thanks
