I hope some one can help me with i few ideas of a problem ive had for a few months now!!
My 172 is suffering badly.
For the last few months i have been having the same problem of holding back form cold.
Ok lets start from the beginning. start engine and let tick over for a few minutes let oil get moving and temp to pick up. On pull way seems to be ok but then just as you are about to change in to 2nd the car dies of power has a massive flat spot and holds back.
such as pulling out of a junction normaly and it will happen. (my normal isnt with front wheels spinning leaving the car behind me in clouds of smoke)
Also when in 2nd and 3rd the car feels lerchy and accelerates and deccelerates on its own. this only happens when the temp gauge is reading about quarter of the way up the gauge (3rd dash) once above there seems to be ok. There has never een any warning lights on the dash while this happens.
My Renault garage has looked at this 3 times each time telling they can find a problem.
On my 3rd visit they even tried telling me believe it or not that..........
THIS IS STANDARD!!!! ON THE 172 AND 182 MODELS!!!!
This is a renault dealership where i used to work!!!
Please help with some ideas of what could be causing my car to do this as my warranty runs out in november and wan to get it sorted before then.
