The engine mounts may be failing and causing it to rock.

I'd be putting that loom in the bin and starting fresh, that's been fked with far too much lol I used a Megane R26 loom with the fuse box connectors from a 197 Loom swapped onto it using solder sleeves and its been absolutely rock solid. The one in yours looks to be a 197 loom adapted to a 225...

Its easier to take the engine out when its in lots of little pieces.

i was trying to be diplomatic by not name dropping but...

Was apparently built by a pretty well known company that has washed their hands of any fault :tearsofjoy:

Nah the things toast, he threw some pictures up in a Meglio group chat on FB and the whole things gutted. Apparently a dodgy battery relocation was the cause.

Is this the one that ended up burning down the other night lol. Turbo definitely looks to be changed from the factory TD04 on that one so I'm guessing 400ish isnt too far off the mark.

I did a Megane swap when my TL4 went for the second time. I'm now 3 Megane engines deep...

Fuck the GT3 RS, what was in that Yellow swift with the WRC style wing to be pulling like that :tearsofjoy:

Much appreciated :sunglasses:

Absolute complete tangent, any chance you can get some photos of how the lower part of the radiator sits in the subframe when you get chance? That sits far tidier than the one in my Megane conversion does.

Holy F*** I thought I had bad luck.

I got a cheap pattern standard Clio one off Ebay because Meg rads don't use the 197 mounts anyway. Its made of tinfoil and is significantly lighter than the holed OEM one I pulled off it lol.

Autodoc been bang on for me, although its definitely a planned maintenance site, lead times can be a bit inconvenient if you are working to a deadline.

Out of curiosity, where did you need the welding? Might check mine and get it sorted whilst its a lawn ornament.

Permanent fix is mechanical sympathy and making sure the the slave is installed and bled correctly. I've found they really don't like being pressure bled. Another option not mentioned above is a Megane RS Swap, I bought my conversion package for £1700 with an R26 LSD gearbox.

Left hand one on your diagram should be going to a carbon canister solenoid down the drivers side of the engine. You can throw that in the bin. Right hand one is the brake booster vacuum feed, hook this up to the engine in some way. Dont worry about a 1 way valve, the Clio already has this on...

This was the comment that triggered it. I've just bought another Megane Engine because 280ftlb at 2300rpm is too good to give up on.

fkin awesome. If 220 is achievable on standard engine I'm selling my Meglio when its rebuilt and going back to NA simplicity lol
