A few probs with my 182

[bigmouk]

Its goes in on Sat for 12k service so i would like to bring the following up as sound like i know what the problem might be.

1. Full lock to the right hand side causes a strange clunking (when moving) .. feels like the passenger front side wheel is loose or something?!?!? Full lock to the left seems ok.

2. Door trim on drivers doors seems loose (the 2.0 16v bit). would this be fixed on warranty ?!?

3. Front headlamp washer leaks. (they said this is a bumper off job). Does anyone know how long this should take by reno?

Cheers

1. known fault with top mount on strut, I think they have a mod to fix this. I hope they do anyway as mine is in for its 12,000 mile service next week and have asked them to look at the same thing.

2. Should do

3. dunno but Id have thought 2-3 hours work.

Is the first point dangerous??

I do about 70 miles a day on motorway!

No its just the spring twisting in the mount making a noise.

The wheel almost feels loose (i have checked this and it doesnt seem to be). Its hard to explain but got 30 mins road test booked down before service so i can show them exactly what the problems are.

Sods law it wont do it when i get there though!!?!?

Maurice,

that sounds like the very same problem I have.

Like something is loose and rattly, almost as if the wheel is gonna fall off.

Its not the suspension turrent like others have said tho.

 

[bigmouk]

Gonna take it easy till Saturday i think.

If anyone knows what this could be please let me know, im sure cocopops would like to know to by the sounds of it.

*only happens on FULL lock, seems ok 3/4 lock etc..

Headlight Washer takes 2 to 3 hours, just becareful they dont scratch your body coloured bumper for you!!!

 

[182/172 lover]

reoint 1, mine does this on full lock 2! but the car jolts slightly not just a noise, feels like the wheel gets caught on the arch!!

do you guys reckon it is actually ok to wait until major service couple of months off for me, i cant be @ssed to take it renault(to scratch, break more, leave tools in the engine etc...)

i get the noise too

 

[eltel21]

I think it is a design feature.

I get it too on full lock. Just make sure you are not full throttle and it will be fine.

Do you have something on the power steering that stops it going to far on full lock?

Could it be turning to far?
