182 dash/ warning lights

[R20 CWH]

Trivia question time,


why when the clio was given a subtle facelift in jan/feb 04 did all the new non RS clio models get electronic fuel and water temp readouts and the 182 continued the 172s gear with the needles for the fuel and water temp?

Have no idea, but prefer the needles rather then those electronic readouts.

Probably because of the surge in sport models.There were only so many shells to do each bach and when renaults sports started selling 65% of there entire brand in the u.k.So i guess they kept the winning formula for the sports and upgraded the lesser models to carry on whilst being financially viable(just my guess)

65% of entire brand...... sounds a lot....

My mate has a DCi100 and hate the digital display!

my missus's dci has the digital display, prefer the one in my 172.

Normal dials are easier to read, at a quick glace, maybe this is why the Sports models kept proper ones?

Not worth it economically. The RS isn't a mass seller compared with the normal modele and since they'd need to design and produce a whole new dash for such a relitivly small and short run there no value in it.

anyone got a pic of the digital display interested to see what it looks like.
