182 Niggles/Queries Help!

[GaryW]

Just a couple of minor niggles after 1300 miles but need some clarification on a couple of things I have noticed over the past few weeks

1 Tracking ok but steering wheel slightly off to the right

2 Temp Guage seems to dip when you accelerate hard normally its half way up but drops to about a third of the way up the gauge on accelerating.

3 Noticeable induction?/exhaust? roar from the passenger footwell area on full throttle.

Not bothered about the steering wheel but has anyone else experienced either of the other two? Are they normal due I need a trip to Renault?

1 could be just tramlining (due to the wide tyres)

2 ??????????????????????????????????????????

3 Nowt wrong there.

Thanks Tom I thought those two were normal but the temp gauge which I only noticed this morning is a bit disconcerting, once I stop accelerating it recovers to its normal position.

tbh ive never looked at the gauge.

doube its a problem

Water moving away from the sensor maybe, is the coolant level correct? Cant say Ive ever come across it before.

not sure about the temp gauge, the loud rasping noise from the zaust is normal, steering wheel, they move aboout a bit, mine was dead centre and has now moveed a little bit to the left. its a renault!

My 172 did abit of Left Steer, until I went to a Tyre shop can got my Alignment check. It could be out, even on a new car.
