clio 172 (not cup)owners, help needed

[182_blue]

i wondered if you could tell me how long your spare wheel securing bolt is in the boot ?, as i got a cup and my bolt isnt long enough to hold the spare wheel, i wondered if the 172 was longer.

thx in advance

shaun

Its easily long enough to hold the spare wheel and the toolkit. The wheel has to be upside-down (outside of wheel facing down), to give the toolkit somewhere to live.

Yup, We said this in your previous post.

 

[182_blue]

so the 172 bolt is longer than the cup one ??

Do you have a spare wheel as standard? No.

Thats why he asked 172 owners.

Hes the original poster Tom!!

If you got a 172 the spare wheel goes face down with the tool kit sat inside the spare.

sorry im tired. please forgive me.

Obviously when I bought the climate they also gave me a free longer bolt, because I can get a spare wheel and the toolkit to fit

yes i know this ,but my bolt wont fit ?

 

[Griff]

You must be the only one then. The bolt only needs to be a matter of inches long.

 

[Yugguy]

Mines long and yellow.

yeh i put the wheel in the well (facing down) and then i put the tool kit in the wheel, but my bolt wont fit through both, so i need to know if i buy a 172 bolt that it will fit

Go to a dealer, borrow a bolt (theyre probably the same for every Clio) model, and see!

 

[182_blue]

please compare your bolts

 

[Roamer]

Well mine is different from that, for one thing mine is yellow and doesnt have the sticky-out handle, instead two short flaps thaqt you use to turn it.... maybe the 172 (not cup) one is a bit shorter cos you only have the toolkit and not the spare too?

Like Mike says, goto ya local dealer and talk to them and try and 172 one and see dude

When you cup develops faults like they all do and you return it to the dealer, Make sure you get a curtasy car and steal it...



Sorted!!!

Not the car just the nut!!!

 

[badinvincible]

does the cup not have wider wheels hence why the bolt seems too short? even tho the one with my mk1 172 is yellow and looks nowt like the pics above?

 

[182_blue]

the cup does have wider wheels, but not by enough, i have been to dealers and ordered a 172 item, i think its about the same size but the 172 item goes further into the tool kit, the cup one has a flat top therefore wont go into the toolkit,it just sits onto the top, it cost me £2.50, but of course they dont have them in stock so i gotta wait for it to come, mind you if its like when i order anything from them theyy will either forget to order it, or order the cup one ?, anyway i will let you konw if it fits when i get it (might help peeps in the future.
