    Car brakes by itself under heavy cornering?

    I did not notice any light tbh. The things I was doing are things that I could do before without interuption. So there must have been an external factor. Sure hope my remaining 3-4mm will be enough to have some decent fun and grip on a trackday...:(

    Car brakes by itself under heavy cornering?

    Hello, Here's the situation. Yesterday it was quite warm 22 degrees C. I took the Clio for a spin, and in the first slow miles I already take a long corner at high speed. I instantly sensed something vibrating through the wheel. When I released throttle, the car braked by itself, to...

    Removing a recaro

    Hello, I'm willing to remove the passenger recaro's, so that access to the rear with the baby is easier. I tried to remove the screws, which hold the rails to the floor, but they seem stuck as hell. I'm working with a simple kind of screw driver. It's like I'm gonna need something with a...

    What oil type

    Hello, As the search function did not let me search on the term ' oil ', i'm asking it maybe once again: what kind of oil does the clio 200 need? It gave me this warning " please fill up the oil" The manual tells me to look in the maintainance book, but I do not have any as it never went on...

    Maxi cosi and Recaro

    unfourtunately these are all no options. Through the rear does not work as my girl friend really isn't that strong, because the max-cosi is quite heavy. And I'm not able to put it in the rear, without my child having a whiplash :( I'm looking for a technical solution.

    Best exhaust for the 200

    The guy that sold me my Akrapovic is a recognized MillTek dealer, and he personlly always buys Milltek for his cars ( mostly VAG cars ). But he did recommend me an Akrapovic, because the Milltek seems to rattle on some Clio 200. The akrapovic is expensive, but it's simply perfection...

    Impact of DOT 5.1 brake fluid

    Why do you prefer DOT4? I guess DOT4 is put in the car as standard, right? I'm planning on using the car regularly on track, and I didn't feel 100% confident on the Nurburgring when pushing it hard last summer, therefor I thought opting for DOT5.1 would be a good choice?

    Squeeling steering wheel

    Hello, Did anyone ever have a steering wheel that squeeled a bit? When I was leaving for a small drive, it squeeled while driving of my driveway. When returning, the sqeeling was gone, so it does seem to go away, when heated up/ used. Take a look at the video below. Should I be worried...

    Remap and engine damage long term

    Hello, Yesterday I went to the pub with a friend of mine. There we met some guy who works as a mechanic in an Audi dealership. Had a little chat, and at some point we talked about the Clio. He said that I was very foolish about remapping the Clio. He said the only thing tuners do when...

    Heel & toe: tricks & info

    Hello, Until a few days ago I always blipped the throttle while lowering gear by releasing the brake and blipping it with my whole foot, which works fine for me. On a track of course, it's far from ideal. Problem is when I try heel and toe with the clio, I seem to have problems with the...
