Turns out is wasn't :banghead: All sounded good until I got half way to work, then I heard it again. It has however cured a slight wheel vibration/wobble I had which is nice lol. Had it in to Renault today, they went out for a drive and said they could hear it. Got it on the ramp, and they...

Recently cleaned mine, it's a 172 but they're the same set up. A couple of people said to replace the seal as well, but unfortunately Renault no longer sell the seal separate to the TB. As long as you careful in taking the TB off once the four screws are removed your all good. I gave it a good...

I had similar issues with my old Clio 1.2. Had similar misfire issues, stalling/cutting out when first starting, not starting from warm etc. Replaced a tonne of parts before I found it was a break in the wiring loom connections that go into the ECU at the back of the engine. I did what you did...

I'm in a similar boat with what sounds to be a similar noise. I've replaced pretty well everything like yourself, and still the noise persists. The next thing I'm gonna have a good look at is the exhaust, see if anything has crept loose, but like you say, the noise appears to be coming from...

Managed to sort out the heat shield issue. Also took the throttle body off to give it a good clean. Will see what it's like on the way to work tomorrow. On the way to work today it was horrible, I do roughly 10 miles of A roads 45-60 MPH, then around 3 miles of town driving, which it probably...

Thanks for the info, I'll see if I can get one from a breakers as mine appears to be missing. However this wouldn't actually cause the car to stall/cut out in the first place? Any ideas what might be causing this when up to temp, it can be sitting in traffic for a couple of seconds then...

Thanks for the replies guys, top stuff (Y). Was just wondering what sort of difference a heat shield would make? Also on the ICV front, spoke to Adam at Wolverhampton Renault, and confirmed it's part of the throttle body, as it doesn't have a cable like the PH1, makes sense I suppose. As that's...

Just had a quick look, and it doesn't appear to have one on it? Also found this thread - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?561873-Where-is-the-icv - It's about the location of the ICV. Mine isn't where this one is in the piccy. Does anyone know where it is on the phase 2's...

Don't know if this might help too, but when it does cut out, when I restart, then have to sit in traffic again, it starts to rev itself slightly. I might give the ICV a clean too.

I'm not gonna lie, I don't know. Can this cause issues? I will certainly check tonight to see if it's got one or not (Y)

Anyone got any thoughts? It cut out twice today on the way to work when not in gear but 'rolling' over speed bumps near work, was rather embarrassing :/

Good evening everyone. Just a quick one. For diagnosing a noise I had on my 172, I took a complete strut off of a standard 182, and put it on my 172. It fits fine, and has the same amount of coils etc. However I was just wondering if there is any difference in the set up, ride height...

2003 172 ^^^ I think it lies!

Car transplants in Cheshire came me a quote on one yesterday, was only £15.00 all in. Might be worth seeing if there's something similar near you, or maybe give Ren-parts a try

Nice, I haven't ordered any yet, are you looking to sell them? Don't suppose you've got a piccy? Will send a PM

Thanks for the reply, would these be genuine ones?

Cheers mate, looks like that'll be the only option now. Thank you kindly :D

Thanks Adam, I think it might be a visit to Tweeks to get some :D Do you know if they're 23mm for a ph2 172?

Good morning everyone. Just been ringing around my local Renault parts people, and all have said that this item isn't available at the moment, and it's not showing in stock in France either. 7700784171 - Outer anti roll bar rushes - Fit under the wishbones. £9.02 each inc. VAT Was wondering...

Another update on this thread for anyone who's not quite bored enough yet :D Have got this week booked off work, so quite determined to find out what this noise is. Was speaking to the chap who owns our local Euro store, and he very kindly swapped the ball joint for me, however after changing...

Hey everyone :) Over the past week been having a few hot start issues with my 172. When I first got it, I replaced the TDC sensor. The one that was on it was the modded blue one, but it was causing me cold start issues, however replaced it, and it all seemed fine until last week. Cold start...

Wow, thanks for the reply mate. That doesn't look good at all. If I'm honest I haven't really even looked around the NS of the car, as I'm confident the noise is coming from the OS. However it's possible it could be causing something on the opposite side to knock. I'll certainly look into the...

Bit of an update on this thread, instead of starting a new one again. Got chance to have a wee look underneath today. Couldn't find anything out of the ordinary with the exhaust, and also checked the bottom arm bushes. There doesn't seem to be much play in these, but there are a few...

Would also highly recommend Birchdown's services - Top notch :)

Thanks for the replies everyone, excellent stuff - Got to love this forum :) I'll certainly have more of a look around the exhaust area next chance I get, as it is certainly more of a 'metal on metal' sound. Only thing that originally made me think it wasn't related was it sounds as if it's far...

Having had a bit of a read around on here, looks like some people have had issues with the 'dog bone' mount causing the engine to slope backwards slightly, then having the exhaust manifold catch on the subframe and bulkhead. I'll perhaps have to check out this 'dog mount', and see what sort of...

Tis certainly a strange one lol. I had it jacked up this morning, and had a good check around the ARB, the bushes look to be perishing slightly, but none actually have any play in them, and the anti roll bar itself hasn't snapped. Springs all round are fine too - It's interesting this is asked...

Yeah the drive shaft is new, although it is a none genuine one. It came with a two year warranty, so may see what they can do. I've never known a joint to make such a noise, but will certainly look into it a bit more. As to the speed of it, I can't say there's any change what so ever, it...

Thanks for your reply Darren. Sort of, it started a week after it was replaced. I was thinking along similar lines, but there doesn't appear to be much play in it when it's on the floor :(

Hello again chaps. Thought I'd do a bit of an update on this thread instead of making a new one, unfortunately this noise continues to persist. So far I've replaced the OSF top mount, had the whole kit. This made no difference what so ever. Also tried the 'Washer fix', and also had no luck with...
