fuel

ok so my 182 fuel light has come on and the trip is saying 31 miles left, however the guage is reading 1/8 of a tank, i know the light normally comes on in the red zone. Any ideas?

Ive been out places today and been driving for bout 45 mins non top. Was on dual carridgeway giving it some aswell. Got home and temp guage was not even a half way, 2 bars under. And every trip i go on, like to work which is 10 min drive my fuel will go down near enough a line on the guage. Or...

Right I'm trying to get my head around a few things here! If I go over 55mph in my little 1.2 16v or 2500RPM (in 5th) my car just guzzles the fuel! And I mean, like gone in no time! I daren't even get up to 70mph because of how quick it goes. Recently I checked for error codes using the push...

I only have a 1.2 16v but I want to get to the bottom of this. My car runs crap (well not as well), on anything apart from vpower or the higher RON stuff (Momentum). Is this normal? It runs crap on normal BP, Total, Texaco, Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda etc. When I put vPower in the car feels so much...

Is this fitted for safety incase of a crash etc? Im unsure what its for thats all.

Lower curve was from a year ago, 19k miles having been driven mostly by the original OAP owners (so likely never seen over 3k rpm) and no doubt on standard 95 fuel. Upper curve is from today...I've spent the last year putting 22k more miles on it (a daily 50 mile beasting on deserted country A...

was just pulling away from the BP services when i noticed you filling up with fuel with private reg plate

Hi guys, i mapped my car with my RS tuner for the first time yesterday and ive just been in the car with the fuel needle 2 bars from the bottom and the low fuel light has come on on the dash. Also when i use the rs tuner i cancelled the toxic emissions light which is from me having a decat...

How low does anyone elses fuel gauge go before the fuel light comes on? I have had my Clio at literally on empty and the fuel light doesn't come on... Before I start ripping the dash out to check the bulbs etc is this normal? Cheers

So, has anyone filled up any more than this? Don't forget we've only got 50 litre tanks! Maybe this could be the start of a new and risky game? ;)

Using this from the BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21238363 And this - http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/ I worked out to fill up a 200 on the east coast of the USA wound cost £31.77! I'd would love that here! We are so robbed when it comes to motoring. Nowt to interesting just...

right, as the title says really. i currently have the fuel pump off and in the depths of doing my solid bucket clearances ( valve clearance ) i took the fuel lines off infront of the engine today, and cleaned them through with the air jet, now the crap that came out was abit to dirty for my...

Hi all, this problem reared it's head at brands hatch last year, but the car has been put to bed for the winter so I just buried my head in the sand until now! Problem is, just after hard cornering the car (172 ph1) has cut out as if it's struggling to pick up fuel, as if all the fuel has...

Hi all, I changed an injector a while back and recently had an incident whilst driving home from work. I smelled petrol in the cab and stopped the car immediately. Popped the hood and found that petrol was leaking from the fuel pipe where it plugs into the injector rail. I assume I must...

Hey everyone First time I’ve posted on the detailing section, bit of a noob lol. I was trying to get my fuel rail cover clean, have removed it from the car and started to sand it down slightly, has come up quite nice, but can't get good enough results in the bits that are a bit harder to get...

I'm having a bit of trouble with my '05 plate 1.2 clio. When I turn the car on, the engine overheating light is on immediately. Also, if I drive half a mile or so, the "water in the fuel/technical fault" light comes on. The accelerator is much more responsive than usual, and the car doesn't...

Mine has not got a case over the coil bit on the relay, and Renault want a part number for the part. Does anyone know what part number it is?

My cars cammed not sure what cams as bought it as it was,however my car doesnt give a correct fuel reading and cuts out no warning at all apart from running out. Quick q can i put bigger injectors like from the 225 megane, And maybe il put some red ex in :/

Ive just bought a new sensor for my car costing £70 and now been told that the second sensor doesnt affect the cars running etc and is only there to trigger your EML is this true ill send it back if so

Just a quickie. Talking to a guy I know, who's going to be welding my floor plates in for my cage. He hasn't seen my car yet or the position, but said to check the position of the fuel tank and find out whether it needs to be removed whilst welding?? It hadn't even crossed my mind to be...

Hi, can someone tell me where the fuel pump relay is on a mk1 ph3 1998 please My car turns over but wont start & also I cant hear fuel pump priming when I turn ignition on which leads me too believe its a relay problem. Thanks in advance

I've stripped down my interior loom to remove all unused plugs etc and am also extending the loom to the fuel pump so I can route it all the n/s then around the back for neatness. As the car is stripped, poly windows etc I thought it may be worth adding a kill switch into the fuel pump section...

Are the mk2 ph1 and ph2 fuel tanks the same across all diesel and petrol models. the reason I ask is because I have now decided to break my clio dci 65 for spares and I am wondering if I can take the tank off of that (obviously flush it out) and then fit it to my track car so I don't have to...

Are they the same? I am having horrendous trouble with my track car. The car is not fuelling properly and splutters when exiting roundabout corners etc. the afr gauge leans right out and sometimes if i go on and off the throttle its ok other times i have to flick the ignition off and on again...

I had a little search but couldn't really find anything.. I have been having an issue with my fuel light on the dash. It comes on when I still have a 1/4 tank of fuel.. Today it came on with just under 1/4 tank and 96 miles remaining on the display. I went in to the hidden display and it...

My mates Mk1 16v turbo's fuel pump isnt priming. The pump has been out and tested and it's all fine. We're guessing it's a electrical fault but havent really tested that yet. Could it be as simple as a relay?

Hi I'm just wondering if the fuel tank on a 1.4 Mk1 can be dropped from purely under the car without getting under the seats in the rear and also if a 16v fuel pump will definately fit directly in place of the 1.4 pump. I'm assuming the tanks and wiring are the same. Thanks

Ok so the title has the issue in it, when switching on the ignition the fuel pump is not engaging. Car worked fine until Thursday morning, halfway to work the car suddenly loses engine power, after a few attempts to start again it turns over and starts running, another half a mile and it cuts...

hello my first post on here, so be gentle :p I've got a missfire on my 172Cup, took it to renault today and they number 4 injector needs replacing, fair enough i said asked how much they will charge and was informed £125 fitted for one injector :eek: The woman on the service dept desk said...

Went to fill up a few days of days ago and couldn't even get the key in the fuel cap, frozen solid... Borrowed hot water from the garage staff and managed to get it freed up, very embarrassing with big queue forming behind me...... WD'd it and still no joy after -7 the other night. Then tried...
