182 Fuelrail Block

[steve32c]

This is the third time this has come loose, now I know they are held in by two bolts. Does anyone else have this problem or has renault missed something out when they replaced the old bolts with new ones. Should there be some sort of washer on them or should they be loctited in with thread lock?

For those wondering it's the block of metal at the front of the engine by the bottom half of the inlet manifold.

probably the nuts are worn out, get some new ones (they're oval so self locking anti vibration nuts, i forget the technical name k-nuts maybe)

As above make sure renault replaced them with the right ones.

sounds like the studs they go onto aren't tight enough.
