Mine has started to idle badly when warm since they repaired my exhaust!! Its no worse than my 172 ever was though so Ill put up with it. They are going to check it out at the 12k service for me.
^^thats not normal, they should sit at the same revs, but just feel a little lumpy i.e feels a little like it could stall, but not too bad,, you need to go to renault with that coz thats not rightQuote: Originally posted by richi on 25 January 2005
When you say "lumpy" what are we talking - Mine seems to sometimes rise to 2000rpm and then drops and then up, then down, etc... This happens along with the Temp Gauge all over the place - Its it a normal problem and nothing to worry about??
Well I imagine it could be amplified by the use of 95ron fuel seeing as the cars supposed to run on 98ron. If the ECU has to r****d the ignition timing to run on 95ron it could well make this more noticeable. I for one tend to just use 95ron and notice my car is pretty rough at idle when cold. Ill do a wee experiment running on 97 - 98 ron and see if it improves any!Quote: Originally posted by Loony on 22 January 2005
yup there is a slight fluttering, due to the mild cams and the way the ECU controls fuelling/ignition. It is more noticeable when cold. Nothing to worry about its perfectly normal
Sounds like the coolent temp sensors failing/failed and causing the problem a new one will fix it.Quote: Originally posted by richi on 25 January 2005

Nothing to do with 95 RON the engine doesnt suffer from knock its not that highy tunned.Quote: Originally posted by rory182 on 25 January 2005
