Clio II - 1.6 16v
Recently the cooling fan has been a little lazy to turn on...it works perfectly if you turn on the aircon but on its own it will never work...
In this market the Clio does not have a radiator switch, only a small resistor to control both low and high speed radiator fan...
Here is a chop just to see if bigger F1s look good
I know it needs lowering but roads here are far from perfect...bigger wheels? Yes, soon....hopefully :D either Superturismo or Turinis...
Comments?
Lately the engine (1.6 16v k4m) has developed a less than perfect idle, the speed is ok, between 750 and 800rpm with no aircon and a bit higher with the aircon engaged...changed all coil packs, new plugs, cleaned the tb, cleaned the CAS....nothing, the engine has slight misfire that is...
"Cyl #2 fuel rate" and shows it as a fault, however none of the warning lights shows anything wrong. The engine (1.6 16v k4m) does have a slight misfire but only at idle and without using the a/c, using the a/c solves the problem (maybe because the idle goes up a bit to about 850rpm instead of...
The car really needed some cleaning and while our street is under major re-pavement works I felt the need to clean the Clio...
Found a new scratch on the rear fender :( so I need to get that sorted along with the front bumper...maybe next month :D
Enjoy, critique, ask.
Clio II Mk2 with the k4m engine...about 22k miles.

For the past month I've been hearing noises coming from the front suspension, I thought it was a worn bushing or something and didn't give it too much thought...but now the car has developed a quite tedious clunk, specially on uneven roads or going uphill....going uphill over uneven roads will...
Spent about 6 hours cleaning the insides of all wheel arches, insides of all wheels, door jambs, engine bay...I was upset my camera batteries died without even using them :mad: time for new batteries I guess :S but the camera phone pics really show how clean it is :cool:

I have no idea if there are power gains, if any, but the sound is enough to enjoy this thing...

As the title says...progress since I got it on Nov. 28 last year until last weekend when it got a complete detail...
The day I got it from the dealer with only a few miles on it:
and the put a couple stickers on it :o
But then April arrives and it's my birthday so I decided to buy a...
I just bought the long rear spoiler and 3rd brake light for my mk2ph2 Clio and I want to see some actual pics of it on the car....I did plan to paint it in the same colour as the Clio but recent ideas came up :evil: ....my car is silver and I want to do some photoshop chops to see if a darker...
So I got my brand new baby yesterday, I f'ing love this thing...:D
It is a shame that we get only this model (1.6 16v Dynamique) here in Venezuela, otherwise I'd work my ass off to get the Clio III :cool:
A few pics before I detail it this weekend...so expect lots of pics this saturday :o...
