2.0 Problem (i.e. Cup, 172, 182)
Note
The 172 and 182 engines have VVT this is only activated between 1.8k and 6.5k when the coolant temp is over 80 degrees and the intake air pressure is over 650mbar. The 4k kick is due only to the cam profile the cams became much greater breathers at about 4k which leads to the kick you feel. The VVT only works on the intake cam and advances its timings by 16 degrees.
yeah that is mate, as the limit runs off water temp, all i can put it down to is the water around the temp sensor cools down enough to make the ecu think its too cold, then once you have been running for a min or so the water curculates enough for the car to realise its warm and the limit gets raised back up
a few minutes is no where near long enough mate! a good 15 mins is needed to let the oil warm up
I pour hot water in my radiator and rag it from cold!
Yup good point...I just said 'good' rather than 'high/low' ... my bad, but obviously when you do give it some beans the oil pressure goes up yadda yadda.
yeah with engine revs and load oil pressure rises
Clio is my first 'proper' car and I am trying to take good care of it, difficult when you know that a little prod. brings smiles. Only gets warm about half way to uni and by that time it's commuter mode on the dual carridgeway sitting at 60mph.
sometimes i will be driving and the car will limit at 6750 and only do 60 in second gear and then il try again and it will go all of the way to past 7. Has anyone encountered this problem before???????
