182 on tick over???

[Harry182]

I've just got my shiny 182 and notice on tick over it seems very lumpy? is this normal?


Also you wanna hear the exhaust note on "dennisv6" car. sounds like p**n!! :rasp: :rasp: :rasp:

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Lumpy idle is a characteristic of the 172/182's mate .It should be 850rpm + or - 50rpm when warmed up .

 

[thedoc]

runs like a tw@t until its warmed up...

 

[clio172cup20]

Sounds horrible until it reaches its opitium temp, its normal mate!!!

 

[Harry182]

Good Good. Thanks people.

Deffo normal - lumpy idle and mine doesn't run particularly well for the first mile or so from cold, very hesitant. Mechanic at dealers told me it's to do with Renault engines running lean at tickover to satisfy emmisions regulations. Not sure how much truth is in that but might be plausible...

 

[TimMB]

I like to think of my 182 when in idle, like when I wake up...

grunts and snorts, hesitant, and not all there.

Once warmed (coffee) raring to go!!

 

[Tyson-182]

^^^ Lol, too true though.

As everyone has said, its normal mate. Lumpy gear changes at first when cold too...

Ive heard dennis's vee from the outside and from the passenger seat :rasp: :rasp: :rasp:

Its fooking awesome.

I actually like the sound of my 182 when it first starts up from cold! Sounds a bit more meaty and interesting than smooth, warm running!

I must be strange.............

 

[Clang]

As long as it's not lumpy when it's warm. That would be something else entirely.

i am still new to this 182 ownership but i have noticed mine is horrible first thing in the morning, twitchy accceleration clunky gears but after 2-3 mins all is back to normal

 

[Harry182]

I'll have to park her in doors to keep her warm.........

Daveclio172 do you live in witney??????????????????

 

[Fletcher]

I find she idle's a little better when run on high octane fuels like Tesco 99, Shell Optimax, BP Ultimate.

 

[Harry182]

Cheers Fletch, I've just filled her up with high octane. I'll wait and see.

No probs mate, oh and Welcome to Clio Sport

 

[Harry182]

Thanks matey.

 

[ADY 554D]

dont want to spark off the whole fuel debate but i am on my 3rd tank of fuel in a week first two were shell optimax now i have a tank full of sainsburys finest high octane (only97) and economy has fallen dramatically wont be using that stuff again but there is no other petrol stations close by... looks like abit of a further journey to fill up with BP stuff anyone know what octane theres is?
my only other choice is esso high octane which again is only 97?

 

[shortos]

Bp ultimate is 97 aswell. Some Tescos do a 99 ron.

 

[Harry182]

:rasp:I'm on esso, i will be try Optimax next. Saw a test on telly a while back where found optimax is only one that really works on any car.

Lots of bloody money:rasp: :rasp: :rasp: :rasp: :rasp:

Yes Optimax does cost a bit more, but i find the mpg rises when i use the stuff, it also cleans the fuel tank better then any other fuel.

 

[DazG]

No carterton

Same here! :clown:

 

[philmots]

ive used loads of different petrols, but find it does best mpg on sainsburys, be it 95 or 97!!! i do think it has a bit more go on optimax though, mainly if your just on half throttle though it feels more eager. think thats a good way to describe it

 

[JuanBoy]

Shell has just replaced it Optimax for V-Power which is 99 RON.
