This is what I am using: VARTA Blue B18: 12V 45AH 420(A)
It (from July 2007) is fine I guess. But the trip computer would reset itself randomly since last Oct 2009. These happened to me before. New battery can solve the problem.
I am wondering if I can can bigger AH battery??? I remember...
You know 172's centre console and door arm handle are with a layer of sticky thing. And I want to re-paint mine as the scratch are too annoying.
Anyone painted the centre console, door arm handle?

Got this from a badly crashed Clio last week. Cost me less than 50% of the original brand new cost :-) I am surprise about the condition of the exhaust!!! 90% new!! Fitted last weekend. Will write the review later after I have a longer test.
Basically, I don't know if the fabric I got is real. But look very similar to the Alcantara. Plus so many colors!! You see the color sample page, there are 6 total actually! There are 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 thickness. I got 0.6 becos I think it is better for curve area.
I basically use 3M...

Any comment?? I like the blue one to match my 172...
We have Clio Cup China. But never seen new Clio 197, 200 selling in China or Hong Kong.
Anyway, because of the Clio Cup China. I just found their official translation of Clio in Chinese. Pls see attached pic. They never release an official typeface for the word. But this is the name. Let me...
I think my fan works fine. But I remember it happened before that the fan was still on when I turn off my car. It was becos the weather was too hot, same as the engine bay.

I am wondering what climate control sensor fan do??? Can someone advice me. Will it help to make the A/C cooler if I clean it??
I met another guy who also drive a 172 and his A/C system is very good. Cooler than mine. Yesterday was damn hot and he only need to set 21 or 22 to get enough cold...

My friend's garage helped to lend/prepare a few Clio for the show. He said all Clio did went back to dealer for service afterward and Top Gear paid for the maintenance fee. He said a Clio was billed £7,500GBP!!! Let me...
I want to change to a shorter one. Some said Honda one can apply on Clio. But my experience is that Honda car's radio efficiency is not very good. For example, in the indoor parking lot. Clio can listen to the radio clearly, but Honda one are sucks!
Any other recommendation??? Any Ebay one...
I always admire people has super clean engine bay. How do they clean the metal area??? I dun use engine cover becos it is too hot in HK.
May I have some advice of how to clean the area shown on pic below???
Recently my 172 slightly hesitates on acceleration when going uphill.
What can cause this problem???
Sparkplug (only 15 months), coil pack, fuel pump, injector??? What is the best way to check?

My 172 is decat and I heard that it will make the back box gone sooner. Is that true? What other parts may get worn becos of decat?
Well, it smells quite bad when the car has decat. I know it sounds strange, but I do want to put the catalic convertor back :-P
I thought it was the engine oil, but actually seem the oil is from the gear box.
Pls see the attached pics. Is there any oil seal on the section I circled in red?? Can I replace it?
And pls help me out with the question on the pics.
Many thanks!
Anyone know this?? Never heard that SuperSprint do pipe for 172. Or discounted already for 172, only 182 now?
