    Misfire?

    The clio always works on idle a bit odd, it doesn't sound like an usual petrol car, that has to be pointed out. If you are having misfires, it usually indicates that the ignition coils are bad. A set of those (4pcs) are very cheap, 40quid (BERU are OEM ones). As a preliminary step, you can...

    Blue Smoke High RPM

    blue smoke usually means that you have a mixture of engine oil and fuel in some of the cilinders. Further on, that means that one or more cylinders are having issues with the piston rings, releasing too much oil. A compression test will tell you if the piston rings are ok or not ok. What you...

    Exhaust Tips and LED Number Plate Lights

    If you have the standard exhaust, then this will fit right on, I bought these and I am waiting for the delivery. These are similair to the Scorpion tips, but not that angled. Also, ypu have to know that morw than 60mm in diameter could ruin your diffusor. These tips are ok because they arw quite...

    Hi, as I bought a Scorpion backbox for a 200, I will fit it on my 197. In order to do that, I also need some exhaust tips/trims. Here comes someone from you in handy, I would appreciate if a scorpion owner could measure those two dimensions on the given picture! thanks!

    Clio 197 hp gains

    Both measurement were done at the same dyno? If not, you cannot compare those. Even to skip that, your m8s graph is to generous IMHO, when talking about whp, those are some crazy figures at the flywheel.

    OE backbox dimensions

    Hi mates, I would appreciate if someone has a oem exhaust backbox lying around and is willing to do the measurements given on the picture below. I know it's a relatively fast job to remove the diffusor and to measure it out, but I don't have the space or place to do it, and a parking lot isn't...

    Strange bearing/scouring noise

    The rubber could be ok, but when the engine moves/leans on one side, it lets the pressure of the mount and the metal part start moving and starts producing noise. If the car is steady, you cannot move it by hand. The clutch bearing/slave cylinder could cause also at all time some type of noise...

    No start, any ideas?

    I know it's not "just do it", but to try to insert the old fuse box and check if the steering wheels unlocks? If the car then can be started, then the box you have somewhere it has a fault. If you do not manage to start the car, then it's not the box. @turkie172 knows has a wide knowledge with...
