182 niggle!!!

[sargeantinio]

hi all wonder if u can help me got a 182 done 350 miles in first and second gear i noticed that at low revs ie slowing down with clutch down fully it was almost as if it wanted to stall does it in reverse too but noticed more recently that it does the same thing when u use any thing electrical ie air con even when u turn steering wheel out of gear it goes lumpy any ideas or should i consult dealer thought it might be clutch adjustment at first but not so sure now cheers

once run in it goes away

Mines the same, as was my 172.

In fact its got practically all the same faults as my 172 had, only not quite as bad.........yet.

Its the cam profile what do you expect from a car thats sub 7secs 0-60 and 182 P.S from a 2.0 16v. The VVC helps but it will always idle crap. Just give it more revs when you pull off then it wont judder as much the 172/182/cup are only ever truly happy when doing 4k+, but thats all i ever do anyway

I would imaging it will get better as it beds in.

Just sold my 182 at 12k miles, and the engine had nicely settled in.

Idling was fine after 2-3k miles

(Early oil n filter change may have helped though?)

Whats the megane like in comparison?

 

[fizzy_drink]

Not noticed any unsettled idling... VERY powerful, without ever needing to be revved... Unreal acceleration.

 

[Scribbler]

I take it from the lack of possitive points about its handling it doesnt live up to the renaultsport brand. I have heard the acceleration is mega fast and i think it was evo said that it would outsprint an RS focus?

Didnt read the article... Just went and got the car!

Must say, its a lovely drive.. very smoothe n quiet when you want it to be (unlike the rather loud 182 in comparison).. put your foot down and you hear a lovely sound (including a bit of turbo whizzing)...only the steering feels a bit like an arcade game... bizzare!

Everything is probably flybywire trouble with new cars you dont feel involved in the driving process they just go fast.
