clio RR

Hi guys,

just got back from an RR day, 182 made 164.4 ATF.

I know that's roughly what they make but the RR staff said it was running very very rich and thats why im also getting poor mpg.

would a map sort this?

if so, im based in the essex area, where would you recommend to go?

many thanks

Poor mpg could mean you need a new lambda. Engine-dynamics in kelvedon specialise in renaults and can do a map(generic) for about £160.

Edit: forgot about the rstuner, god knows how.

RS tuner, may be a good thing for you to invest in.

You can use it to remap your ECU, with a very got generic map, but you can also use the box as a diagnosics machine so it will tell you the fault codes etc.

oh ok, sorry im newish to the scene, where can i get an rs tuner from?

im not mechanically minded is it idiot proof (ish?) like a bluefin style device?

Its simple if you read the instructions and have a decent grasp of computing.

You need a laptop but is fairly simple.

thanks guys, i also read up a bit about problems with the lambda sensor?

could this be throwing the emission figures out? i remember it came on the day i bought the car, took it back and they said 'they sorted it' 10mins later so did they just turn it off i wonder?

well iv just replaced my lambda sensor and im still only getting 26.1 mpg with steady driving so it might be something else lol

 

[mattyw]

really? think im gona get it on a diagnostics somewhere and see then.

hopefully a map of some sort with solve it

Sounds like a fault more than mapping issue, but if so the figure seems high.

Take it to a specialist, if it's mapping that's required then I'd go to Chip Wizards.
