[gooner182]

got hold of renault and they fobbed me off with,
''its a common fault with 182's nothing can be done''
IDIOTS!!!!

Ring Renault customer services and get them to give the dealer a bollocking. Then take the car to another dealer, I take it its still under warranty?

 

[gooner182]

yea its still under warrenty.
seem to be able to accelarate thru it but when laying off starts again.
not what i expect fron 11k car.
going to get on to them again they said its a common fault yet couldnt tell me what

They all run a bit rough from cold in my experience, particularly in the summer months for some reason.

Aye, for the first two minutes or so, mine runs rough. Rev the engine a couple of times, smoothes it out a bit.

Something to do with the o2 sensors or something iirc?

They don't idle when cold but your sounds worse than that so get it checked could be a number of things.

The idle is down to emmisions regulations.

My car idles a bit lumpy when cold and if i drive it straight after starting it it also seems a little hesitant , i put it down to cold start engine running rich . After about 30 seconds seems perfect . I ve got a couple of mates with 182 and they all do similar .

Let it warm up for god sake.

Its not a common fault, its the design of the engine management.

Typically i get the following situation with my 182:

• 1500rpm idle for approx 2-10 min
• Lack of power between 1500-4000 rpm for 2-10 min

If you attempt to hoon it from cold it will kangaroo.

(this depends on temp obviously)

Is that so?

I've noticed mine has been a bit reluctant in the morning recently. For the first few mins driving the engine seems to pick up less smoothly. Can't say I noticed the same in the winter, it is 500 miles off a service though.
