Hey.

I've got a 172 with 55k on it, and a stainless. It's got a bit of a lumpy idle that can be felt as a gentle vibration through the car. Is this normal, amplified by the stainless, or am I loosing a coil pack / injector?

sounds all normal,most sports seem to have lumpy idle and s**t when cold,just the way renault intended

 

[kully]

also the type of fuel used can make it idle funny .......

 

[cg172]

Sweet. So it's not dying? Gonna get a tankful of the good sh*t tomorrow...

As in better fuel=better idle?

summert like that , i remember someone saying it ran funny on v power but was better on tesco 99 ron .....:S

 

[cg172]

Renault reccomend a 99 ron fuel, so I'm guessing that's what it was mapped with from the factory. That's what's going in ours tomorrow.

 

[kully]

renault recommend 98ron iirc or so the sticker on the inside of the petrol cover says..lol
