    Grinding/vibrating in 1st gear

    So if the engine mounts are fucked, why would they cause it to make that grinding noise??

    Grinding/vibrating in 1st gear

    I'm not sure if this is me being paranoid or if there's a genuine issue, but if I accelerate hard in 1st gear there's a vibrating/grind noise coming from the front which I can just about feel through the steering wheel. The noise isn't loud but can be heard and felt easy enough. It's not axel...

    High Mile Phobia

    My ph2 has recently clicked over 112k, I bought it on 105k and the only issue I've had was the timing belt skipping but I'm putting that down to a s**t tensioner/belt that was fitted previously barely uses any oil either, doubt it's had an easy life too. Id trust it to get me anywhere

    ball joint help for 182

    Is the car on a ramp? If so, try and wedge a crow bar in the slot where the pinch bolt goes through to open it up a tad, then spread some copper slip all over the inside of the hole and the balljoint itself they are ment to be tight, and it can be a b*****d to do sometimes. Just gotta be...

    Engine Judder

    Mine does this sometimes when it's really cold out, sit at a constant speed and it'll start juddering until you let off or in my case when the engine warms up a little bit more not sure what it is

    What's the loudest clio exhaust you've heard?

    Loudest I've heard was mine with the sportex that I bought it with. Crappy un silenced system which I then managed to blow the baffles out of the backbox. The drone at 30/40 and 60/70 was horrific

    started the 182 this morning and its knocking it's tits off includes vid

    Coming from the top end, hard to say what it is valve, lifter, dephaser etc get it looked at, definitely avoid driving it if you can

    Car getting dephaser done

    On a different note, I got my ktec recessed cat back come through a little while ago, I've checked the box and there's no template or instructions for the cut out in the bumper, has anyone got the measurements?

    Goes better than when the timing was out of course ;) cant really compare it to how it was before, but it seems to go alright

    Car getting dephaser done

    Cars fixed! No more knocky dephaser noise you boys were right, turns out it WAS the timing! Belt skipped probably due to a knackered tensioner etc Not sure why he didn't notice this before but f**kit I've got my car back that's all I care about...

    Car getting dephaser done

    It only makes the noise when warmed up, the oil is elf evolution 5w40

    Car getting dephaser done

    When parked up the noise came at about 3k when revved up normally, and the only place it was measured from was before the switch

    Car getting dephaser done

    Not sure on the specific values but he said he measured it before the oil switch and it dropped to 2.5bar as soon as the noise started
  16. C

    Car getting dephaser done

    Fair enough! Thing is, when the car is in neutral I can slowly bring the revs up to 5k and it'll be fine when I'm driving it, it'll make the noise as soon as I touch the throttle, what's that all about? Thing someone earlier on said the drop in oil pressure is due to the timing I'm not...

    Ok mate, reckon the timing had skipped a few teeth then?

    could my phase 1 possibly be remapped??!!

    could my phase 1 possibly be remapped??!!

    All clios have the 5k kick, 6secs is a good time

    Car getting dephaser done

    I was cruising at 40mph when the noise suddenly started so I can't see the timing being out, doubt it would've jumped either as it had a belt put on it just before I bought it, he has the correct tool to do it and has checked the timing loads of times new dephaser - didn't cure it disconnect...

    Car getting dephaser done

    He tried undoing the bottom pulley but it was seized on so that hasn't moved at all, and he's got the cam locking tool so he can't see it being the timing out

    Car getting dephaser done

    So if the timing was out wouldn't disconnecting the solenoid not make a difference?
  23. C

    Car getting dephaser done

    The car went in, he changed the belt and dephaser, let it warm up, gave it a rev and it made the same noise as it did before Done some research, unplugged the solenoid and it then run/drove better than it ever did before Before the solenoid was unplugged, the oil pressure dropped to 2.5bar...

    Car getting dephaser done

    Not too sure, But the oil pressure dropping when revved would be the pump? Think he he measured it before the switch
  25. C

    Car getting dephaser done

    He just rang me, he unplugged the dephaser/vvt solenoid and the noise disappeared but what would cause that to be noisy and the oil pressure to drop off? Knackered oil pump?

    Car getting dephaser done

    Dephasers been done still makes the noise he said the oil pressure drops right off when it makes the noise Fucked off is an understatement. What could it be ?!

    Car getting dephaser done

    The fact it's down on power I've put down to the dephaser not working properly, its not a misfire, it just starts surging and bogging down a little when it goes past 3k If I put my hand where the dephaser is, and someone else gave it a rev so that the rattle in the video link above came, I...

    You've got a Williams engine in a mk1 clio and you want more power? 150 odd hp is a lot in them lol

    A dodgy injector would cause a misfire wouldn't it?
