I have a 172 and hearing a tapping noise from the engine I changed the oil and filter monday its had a full cambelt kit and aux belt kit fitted and dephaser was fitted any ideas what it could be?

Hey folks, Ive got a 172 here fitted with a 182 engine from an 05 Clio, its still running the 172 ecu as it wouldnt accept the 182 one. It starts most of the time but when it does, it only revs to around 4500rpm, there are no warning lights or error codes coming up, nearly every sensor has been...

After fitting the dogbone mount the exhaust banging stopped for a while but I suspect the drivers side needs doing now as it bangs on hard 2nd gear acceleration particularly out of corners. Which is best for what im after and anywhere best to buy from?

I'm uprating my my 182 mounts to KTec ones, I'm changing all 3. Anyone got any tips or starting points? Do I jack the engine up a bit etc?? Just building a car for racing and never done a Renault before so I'll be asking for all sorts of advice I'm afraid.

I have just recently fitted a new manifold and de-cat exhaust system to my car and now when i turn it on to warm up it sounds like the engine is struggling like its running lean. As soon as optimum temperature is reached it runs fine again. Has anyone else had this problem, or know where i can...

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted any photos of the inferno but I cleaned the engine bay the other day and thought I'd show off my new hydrodipped bits :) comments welcome!

Hi guys Going to be doing a suspension refresh on my car soon, with OE cup dampers. I was going to order genuine top mount kit for both sides too, and cheapest I can find online for genuine mounts is about £75 for a pair. But I have been considering solid top mounts. I know the most popular...

Hi. I am new to Cliosport.net. Would anyone have a engine wiring diagram for a 2003 Clio 1.4 16v please. It won't start. I have a spark and fuel to the fuel rail but no injection. Thanks Imn

Hey My car has decided to start to whine above 2.5K RPM. I had ~ Cambelt kit 2 months back PAS Pump Inc new Aux belt 2 months back. What I didn't do was get the whole AUX kit replaced as it was only 11 months old since last replaced anyway.. The Whine comes in at 2.5k and will increase...

I know your all thinking don't do it but I'm just query that's all on how much it actually costs to do like everything the whole swap? Cheers

sorry in advance if i have posted this in the wrong place So I have been looking at mk1 clio's and there are 2 that are cheap one is a 1.2 the other a 1.4 are there any difference other than the obvious and trim? I don't really care about the engine as I'd be changing it to either a f4r (mk2...

Hi guys I own a clio mk2 1.4L 8v. I wish to upgrade to a bigger engine (more power) I don't have insurance problems in my country and renault engines are cheap here. Please give me ur opinion about the best engine to transplant in my car with the least work required.

hello.. does anyone know for sure if their are any differences in the looms.. both cars have the same throttle body but one has no cruise control or traction ect so was wondering if this is a changed loom or just controlled differently.. i have tried searching on here but different to what im...

If i have a phase 1 172 with no engine or loom but i have a complete phase 2 car what would i need to put the engine in to the phase 1 ? Cable throttle body? phase 1 loom? phase 1 ecu? is that all?

What can I use to connect an engine loom to car loom? Need at least 30 pins and 11 pins in 2 separate plugs. Unless anyone can tell me where to buy standard Renault pins?

mste and I were chatting earlier about his 172 engine his building and wondered if he could get it running outside of the car? I know the engine would need the ecu but would it need the UCH box or is there aw way of just wiring up the ecu to get the engine running? Regards Beard

Hi everyone, I know this has likely already been covered but I couldn't see anything that exactly matches. My father in law has a 1.2 '03 Clio. The other day it wouldn't start. He thought it was just the battery so bought a new one. Same fault. I've had a look and here's what I can see. Locks...

Hi, any help please?! I pull up to a unction and the engine cuts out. It's happening more and more now but I have to drive with a bit of heel and toe to stop it and it's not the safest. Has anyone had this before? Sometimes if I let it idle the revs just dip and pick back up, other times it...

Where do I begin When driving some what normal and hard Never when it's cold always warmed up But when it's gets over 5k it sorta of splitters in a way it's miss firing But when over 6k it sounds like anti lage the Rev gauge bounces around and I end up with the shift light flickering at me...

Thought i would post some videos that a mate i know has done and made. They are very much into the drift scene and are @ Drift Land in fife a lot, The videos are a year or so old but none the less i thought they where a decent watch.

Hey everyone, As above, I have been driving my Megane Coupe (1997 1.6 8v) for over six years now (it being my first car) and I've always wanted to do this conversion. Now it looks like I'll be moving on to something newer so the chance has come for me to start considering whether or not...

Hi Guys, I've been getting a knocking & rattling at idle and under slow speed deceleration (also when I load the engine at standstill) which I can really only hear inside the car. From the attached video would you say the top engine mount needs replacing? If its the upper or lower gearbox...

hi think I need engine top mount the one on the right does anyone know which is the best to use any help would be appreciated

Ok I have zero mechanical knowledge when it comes to engines so looking for some help. I took the Clio off the road a few weeks ago as it has developed a noise from the engine bay. I have since bought another car and have advertised the Clio for sale with the faults but she is still here. As...

Guys, you know what is it? halp plz

Evening, Been a long time since I've posted on here, but i've spent my Bank Holiday weekend tackling my engine bay. This is what the bay looked like a few months ago, and its been through a few different guises, good and bad over last couple of months. I wasn't particularly happy with any...

Hi everyone recently my car has started making a squealing noise in the engine, first I thought fanbelt but I've learned it can't be as they are electric on 182's. My car is an 04 clio 182 just to state. Recently had the cambelt done, also the car keeps leaking coolant / water from somewhere...

Hello guys. I found a Renault 19 1.8 16v engine,gearbox and driveshafts, and I was thinking putting it into my Clio mk1 ph3 would be good. I was wondering, how hard of a job is it? I have changed engines before, but just because the engines wore out and I put the same engine model in. I don't...

Hi, my 182 has got a very loud rattle like noise from the engine.. I tuk it to an engine garage & they said it's coming from the bottom part & it's the camshaft bearings,but as they attached to the engine they can't check unless I get the work done.plus change the dephaser at same time.. I went...
