So next question, can someone point me in the direction of a guide to change the aux belt on 172 cup?
Describing it and telling me how easy it is won’t help, I’m a visual learner haha
need pictures or video
So my cup had a full cambelt, dephaser etc. change done in 2018 by diamond motors
The car has since done less than 10k miles
Reckon I could just get away with an aux belt change?
Saves travelling miles to a specialist as I’m in deepest darkest cornwall
Did 150ish miles this weekend. Some of it with some relatively fast cars (bmw 140’s, M2, Audi s3 etc.) and the cup held its own until we got to the A roads
Only managed to get a picture with my mates 197
cup looking a little sorry for itself, needs a clean up and wheels refurbed
also needs...
Had a fatty induction in my last 172 and missed the nostalgic sound
Made sure I ordered it all in time for the weekend, however ASH sent me the wrong elbow, 60° instead of 90
So this is getting sent back and another one ordered
Took delivery of my 172 cup today
Bought it from another forum member @avstar1 completely blind
Albeit he sent me lots of pictures and a video walk around.
here’s a copy & paste from the advert giving some details on the car;
Engine:
Catcams 428
Matched Inlets
Mapped standard ECU
Ph1...
This car has come up for sale local to me, noticed the clio sport sticker in the back window.
anyone know if it’s a forum members old car?
from what I can gather it’s been passed around a bit
Sorry to hijack thread but it’s sort of relevant. I am also currently in the market for a 1*2 and at first I wanted a 172 cup. However the more I read, the more horror stories there are about the cup not having abs and you’re basically going to end up in a ditch.
true or just over exaggerated?
Wanted to update this in case anyone was interested of the outcome or if anybody searches in the future.
Gave up searching and got the garage to recover the car, turned out to be a broken wire in the loom.
The one for the fuel pump to be exact.
Also need a new alternator, but wether or not...
I have read a lot that it could be the TDC sensor and possibly something to do with the wiring.
Isn't there a way to test it? Or clean it off I seem to remember reading
Looks like I posted in the wrong part of the forum, I didn't realise this section existed.
Copied this over from my other thread:
So the car wouldn't start last week, I had another thread in Clio discussion and it was suggested to try the battery.
Got a new battery, fitted it. Car turns on...
