new 172s...

[Liam]

on comparing the spec of the new 172 (full version) on renault.co.uk it says it now has esp standard but now no exterior temp gauge??

strange.. but is it true?

 

[16V_Matt]

sorry but whats esp??

 

[James Palmer]

Electronic Stability Programme (no driver control.....Pooh)

 

[Liam]

they change their specs for the cars a lot dont they, renault that is?

 

[Liam]

can it be switched on and off in the new 172s...?

ESP - Extra Sensory Perception. The car knows what youre going to do before you do it!

 

[Gareth]

eightball if that were the case then my new one will never come off the brakes. DOH!

 

[Dash]

If that were the case Id be locked out.

 

[Wes24v]

mine 172 has got this and it really does work well.

From June 2002 all new 172s come with switchable traction control, according to Renault UK

Absolutely correct....Not only for UK, but for all countries as well

 

[Liam]

[Jeremy Townsend]

I dont think the temperature guage has gone. Ill find out.

 

[Dr. Wagner Jr]

Why anyone would want the ESP?

 

[Captain Slarty]

Mines a June 2002, but Im fairly sure it dont have ESP :-/ how do I tell?

It has to have been made in June 2002....you might find that if you bought the car in June it was actually made in the factory a month or two earlier. If you have TCS youll have the switch!
