Hi all,
I have just purchased an 06 clio 1.5dci campus sport.
Due to lack of other forums I hope I'm ok to use this forum.
Can anyone tell me what the wheels are called? One has a slightly distorted rim which id like to replace.
Are there any other standard issues with these?
Anything I need to...
I've been to look at a 172 cup today.
The car has two problems which I have questions about.
1. Under hard acceleration there is a horrendous knocking/ vibrating sort of sound.
I have heard before this can be engine mount failure or the need to bring the engine forward on the upper mount.
What...
Hi, I'm looking into getting myself a little 172 as a run around and possible track car.
Ideally want a low mileage one in fairly reasonable condition.
Does anyone have any recent knowledge of timing belt kit prices?
Water pump prices?
Dephaser pulley price?
I'd like to do the lot when I first...
Hi there,
I have a 2000 'w' Megane 1.6 16v k4m. I'm guessing the same engine as in the clio.
I require a timing procedure as I will be doing the cambelt myself.
I have carried out a cambelt change on a 182 previously which was fine.
I have all the correct locking tools etc.
Could anyone point me...
Started my car earlier from cold and initially the warning light came on with the wiggly line and it seemed to be in limp mode and restricted to 3k.
After turning my car off and then restarting it, that light went out and the emissions light came on and was steady!
I don't want to be spending...
I will shortly be in a position to refit the cam belt to my 182.
I would like to know if the tension is set by the big spring(Does it give a set tension), or if I have to do something else as well!
Secondly, When setting the tension I understand I have to spin the belt 4 times.
Do i do this...

I'm in a position to refit the head to my 182.
I would like to know what the procedure is for refitting it.
I'm concerned that I could bend a some valves depending on when in the cycle i put the camshafts in.
Any advice? Cheers
Do I need this paste I have heard about? The stuff that needs rollering onto the block or can i just fit the head gasket?
I'm Planning to do it today.
Thanks
I'm currently rebuilding my 182 engine or waiting for special tools to turn up at least!
I have a couple of quick questions!
1. When doing the aux belt do i need to remove the bumper etc or can i get away with less?
2. Do i need to remove the inlet manifold and water pump from the head to...
Hi guys, I just ordered the camshaft pulley removal tool from reno and used the part number 7711381801. Can someone confirm this number is correct as the parts bloke said it was a good number, but didn't know what it was from the description!
I've seen several numbers on the forum which varied...
As above, where can i find the camshaft pulley locking tool?
I am just after the cheapest i can find really!
Unless anyone is willing to lend one to me. Thanks in advance!
As per title.
My 182's aux belt started stripping itself the other day so stopped the engine straight away.
I'd just like to know is there any possibility the belt could have gone through the cambelt and knocked it out a tooth or two?
Is the cambelt fully enclosed in a cover to avoid this or...
Hi, My rear shocks are leaking on my '04 182.
Where would be my best option to get some?
They seem to be a renault only part but didn't know if there were non-renault ones available elsewhere.
If anyone could help i'd appreciate it greatly. thanks.
Ps. Renault quoted £132.98 for a pair.
I've got inbuilt satnav in my 182 but i don't have a clue how to work it.
Does anyone here have a spare manual or could scan one for me please.
It would be a great help!
I've heard that they don't do post code searches, but can you get upgrades for them in terms of a map update and a post...
My 182 had the cambelt change 12k ago.
There is a slight whining noise from the cambelt side of the engine.
Just wondered if this is normal?
Also what should be changed if i do a cambelt myself in future.
Cambelt obviously! Tensioner? Idler? Water Pump?
What is necessary?
It's on 50k
Hi all, i've just bought a 182 on a 04 plate. very pleased with it so far but i have 1 problem.
A little orange light in the shape of an engine flashes on the right hand side of the dash.
I have no idea where to start looking into this!
If anyone can help i would be very grateful!
Scott :)
