just picked up my 182 cup. few Q's!

[karlos100]

Yay ive got it at last but there are a few questions id like answering if you please!!!
1. wind noise at higher speeds. one is definately the drivers mirror. both the door tops seem to be noisy-found this on the other cars i test drove too,and possibly n/s wiper blade? any info?
2 Lumpy idle. the car is standard and low milage but the idle is quite lumpy.

Im a tech for vw and we have bulletins for such faults. the car is just out of warranty but im sure someone knows how to cure these ikkle faults!

Wind noise maybe a badly bonded front screen a few on here have had a whistle at higher speeds down to this.

Lumpyish idle from cold starts is normal.

lumpy idle can be sorted by clip... had my gf's extreme sorted by taking it to dealers. - free

wind noise.... who cares? Some wipers (bosch for eg) are noisy... i find cheap wipers are the most silent.

^^ clip?

the renault plug in thing?

make sure ure using 97+ ron 95 makes it idle even shitter on cold mornings.

 

[karlos100]

i put esso 97 in it. thing is its never been driven hard. its been wrapped in cotton wool and tucked in at night. obviously this is why i bought the car as its 2 small marks away from concourse! anyway driving it home on the m25 i gave it a bit and when i came off at the junction the cat smelt bad. i thin it just maybe needs a good run above 1500 rpm!!!!!

yes mate... Reno had a long long list of faults/recalls, and this was on the clip system. They selected the fault, clicked rectify... and download to the car via clip

problem never came back

Mine has both of those.

wind noise tend to come from top corner of the door glass'.
Also idle isnt perfect, not massively noticeable though.

I wish it was that easy. that all seems like common stuff. wing mirrors can create noise and pooly sealed windscreens can too. idle is normal.

sorted my noise from drivers wing mirror by taping up the whole for the temp sensor which isnt there
