FYI,
I am running Ferrodo DS2500 FH565 and Brembo HC's. I've filed the tips down till they were the same size as the OEM Renault pads, and I'm still using the shims in the carrier. With the shims the pads move/slide free in the carrier. Is it possible that there's an inside pad and an outside...
Ok,
I've inspected the piston and there was no corrosion, or dust. It was perfectly greased and it moves around. I've opened the bleeding bolt to push the piston further into the caliper. For a while it worked, but now the thing is sticky again. :( Is it possible that the brake fluid became to...
Hi,
The righthand front caliper on my 172 seems to be a little bit sticky. But before a take things apart again, I would like to know if the dustseal is secured to the caliper by some kind of clip. (In case it's a one time use only part, I can buy it before taking the car apart,for obvious...
Wow,
Thanx MaintenceMan!
My brother even suggested to use one of these to fix the problem. I've got some spare toothed lock washers so I'll try to put one on the rod tonight.
Hi,
I've got a small problem with the driver seat. A small rod (arrow A)in the machanism that allows the seat to move forwards and backwards won't stay in place (it fell out and I found it under the seat). I wonder if there should be some kind of clip fixing this rod in position (arrow B).

I've got the same problem with my bootlight Ben. Also 172 2001 phase 1. The bootlight only reacts on the doors. Problem is, it drains my battery as well, that's why I had to disconnect it. Have you already found out what is causing this?
HI kevster,
Do you mean the red or the yellow Koní's. I want to change my OE rear dampers because one of them is leaking, but I still don't know what would be best best thing to do. Buy Red STR-Koni's or OE Renault dampers. If I lower the car it will be no more the 30 mm. I am daily driver and...
Demi, post you're question in the fastchip section. There are lot's of people who need there VIN number for a caliberation update. You might also find some 182 numbers over there!
Good Luck!
Hi, thanks for the replies! I think this is where my search will end. I just have to take a look with the painter for silver metallic with a bit of bronze in it just like the Oz's.
Hi,
I bought an extra set of 15 '' renault OZ F1's to get my original set refurbished. As I like to keep the looks of my car original I am looking for the color code.
Does anyone happen to have this color code?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I've bought oil(Elf 5w40 NF) and an new oilfilter(Renault) from a guy in Holland. Problem is this new oilfilter looks a little short if I compair it to my currend FAAM oilfilter. Could someone tell me if it's the correct oilfilter for my car?
I've got a late model Clio II series I 172...
Hi Pat,
It looks much better with the PH2 bumper fitted.
BTW, where did you find the 16'' Oz with the typical Renault edge those are rare!

(ps keep up the good work with the Dutch RS-register)
Citroën saxo VTR (1.6 8v 90bhp) VTS (1.6 16v 120 bhp)
Peugeot 106 Rallye (1.6 8v 103bhp) GTI (1.6 16 120 Bhp)
The red one is an 8 valver 1.6. The bottem end of both engines is the same, but the peugeot cilinder head is better.
A 106 s1 with 1.6 16v is indeed p**n is has massive wheelspin in...
Ah, well no problem. I'll post a new reply when I've managed to squeeze my arm in there. Think I am going to replace the hoses with VW-bug air intake hoses as well, the current ones are a little bit bend en sqeeze the air intake a bit.(which is unacceptable of course).
Thanks,
I think I am going to fix the part with aluminium sheet metal.(unless you"re willing to sell the part :approve:). Do you think I have to remove the headlight to reach the bolt of the horn?
Greetings,

Hi,
Last weekend i've changed my pannel-filter, but when I looked at the hoses from the airbox going under the left front headlight I noticed something must have broken-off because at the right side of the triangle at the entrance of the airhoses the plastic looks damaged. Just to illustrate...
