Difficult.Andy_Clio said:wat a silly question... i woulda asked, how hard would it be to put a mk3 192 into a mk2 ph1 clio? lol
182 has a sportier cat ie less restrictive plus a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold and thats it.Andy_Clio said:whats the difference wi 172 and 182 lumps?
i had planned on the 172 wi throttle bodies as a winter project but 182 would be better!

Best get the engine checked maybe low compression or worn parts but it depends how you drive I cna get sub 20 out of 1.2'savance70 said:several reasons:
my 1.2 55hp seems screwed up (or just plain old) - it consumes urban ~11l/100km (thats ~25mpg!), and lots more if i press it hard. unfortunately no mechanic or renault service knows whats wrong with it... they all say its quite ok.
this one consumes (by orig specs) 7.6l/100km urban (im quoting urban, cause i spend half the day in urban driving)
and its more powerful with 75hp (thats nice on a 900kg clio+driver)
etc..
how much money do you reckon just to change the engine and the transmission (and exhaust, or whatever else required)?

davebem said:You will probably be better off selling it and buying a 1.2 8v mk2ph1 and enjoying 47mpg. You can pick them up for as little as £1500 now.
What about a crashed car I'd personally get a different engine from another car surly thats cheap?avance70 said:used cars are damn overpriced here (bosnia), but new ones are considerably cheap... example:
the new clio starts at ~6700GBP
and if i sold my car now id get ~1800GBP for it (and it is a mere '95 1.2 55hp)
so its not good to buy used cars here... but the prob is i dont have the money for a new one

A diesel engine.avance70 said:hm... yea youre probably right...
does anybody have any recommendation, what to look for? id like a ~75hp engine, with as lower consumption as possible (preferrably less than 8l/100km urban, since i drive it in the city 99% of the time... petrol)?
