'Green' shift light
- Thread starter jam1991
- Start date
should red line in every gear as such!
when the engines cold they do have a lower rev limit and if its similar to the 182 then its only a few 100 rpm lower
when mines like in the red the shift-light is on :shout:
if it's still cold limiting after 15 minutes, you should change your thermostat. Get a 182 one aswell, they're just over half the price, and a slightly higher temp than the over cooled 197 one.
IIRC if it's stone cold is it not 5k then 6.2k then when fully warm it will be back to normal? Not that I would ever be brave enough to test the 5k limiter.
this is for the f4r 730 engine...

Max. engine speeds for a coolant temperature

Oh OK oops :bat: Thought you meant specifically Clio III.
Couldn't find any technical notes on InfoTech as to when the shift light flashes at specific temps so can't tell you at what RPM/Temp it illuminates. :bash:
yeh i looked as well and couldnt find anything and the only data that actually lists it is for the 182 - so at least it gives an idea of the limitation when cold - theres no way its limited to 5k revs as mines been over that when cold as you have on occasion to boot it out of junctions - but it would be nice to find/know the data if it does become available :thumbup1:
