rofl, yeah

Well...... after putting the cab back together, the noise is gone :) celebrations! Unhappy face for not knowing what the hell it was though. Perhaps moving around the pump and picking it apart, cleaning it, and putting back together and moving the chain around solved something I didn't see or...

Thx man :D Yeah, the pump seems 100% to me, so I'm not nervous now. Will just get used to the buzz. Its the 1.6 K4M from a Clio3. I do about 12kms to work and back every day. Oil gets to about 75ish unless I misbehave. Weekends I do about 200kms visiting family, misbehaving, etc etc and she...

yeah its still firmly secured on its mounts

Well I'm a bit stumped now. Got the sump off... and here's the diagnosis. And as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with the oil pump. I took it off and inspected it with a beady eye ball. The chain wheel is smooth turning. No play at all. Teeth are still like new. No visible wear at all...

bump

Yeah, oil grade is as per recommendations. 10w40, a quality one. Clip here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFyvqAaVnCo

Hi there, Over the last few weeks I have a buzzing sound coming from the sump area. Its getting progressively louder over time. It only makes the noise when oil is below 65 Celsius and only while idling, above that its quiet. Had my cambelt, waterpump, dephasor and belts service done about 2...

Thanks :)

Sorry this is a bit off topic here.... but what are you managing on average to push from a K4M? Thanks :cool:

Would this have any effect on oil pressure or flow? If done properly of course...

Re: Help Needed in Australia regards to tuning a 182 with JMS2 Intake Kit RS Tuner Ma he tuned my car and I'm in South Africa :)

Thanks man. Appreciate it

Sup, quick one... When taking the head cover off, do you need the Mot. 1496 tool for the cams. I've been told the head cover holds the cams down. Is this true? Cause usually in other cars there are horseshoe type brackets that bolt down around the cams.

faulty fuel pump or injector?

and no obvious hissing or sucking noises in and around intake system when at idle?

beeeeeeeeeg money getting even close to a 1.6's power. To get close to 2.0 power means total engine rebuild and fit a turbo O_o Fit an exhaust, flat panel filter and go on diet :)

Is the vacume feed from brake master connected, or not broken? Or perhaps the fuel fume recirc from the fuel tank disconnected? (not sure if these are on the 182's. I know the 197's do) To me it sounds like its drawing air past the throttle plenum. So throttle is reading "closed" to ECU, but...

Thanks for the reply! I can only guess hey. It must be for something like that. I've been told it might be called a "backlash compensator". But I have yet to find a mechanic who doesn't give me a skwiff look when I ask them about it. At Renault or otherwise :| Or even a part number since I...

ah ok, get what you saying now. no harm no foul :)

Might improve lowdown torque, but sacrificing high end power since it cant breath properly when engine needs its highest throughput of air. Either way the difference wouldn't be worth the effort involved.

Turbulence at the TB is far distance wise from the turbulence needed in the chamber between the end of the injector nozzle and the valve. Just before the injector area you want the path as smooth as possible back past the throttle body. After the injector then you create swirl patterns and...

on the otherhand run lean..... and burn a whole in your piston, or valves..... :( very uncool So no, not a good idea. Dont do it

not quite sure on the exact outcome of a mod like this. But logic tells me that the opening gap will be slightly larger at lower throttle. So by just touching the accelerator you'll feed more air into the engine than if it were square edged at the same throttle level. Allowing more...

TOPS! :race:

BUMP

guaranteed thermostat. What you described is exactly my diagnosis before I replaced thermostat. After that, back to normal and car running strong.

Super! Thx for the reply :)

Ok thx. So if the cat and lambda isn't there, how does the ECU respond, in other words, how does the map adjust fueling? As there aren't any other errors other than the one saying the lambda is missing.

Hi everyone, On my clioIII there are 2 lambda sensors. I recently upgraded my exhaust as the first one I had was badly bent and welded and too small. On the first exhaust both Lambdas were where they meant to be, one on the stock manifold and the other just after where the cat used to be...
