Ollie's AG 200 Progress thread (new wheels)

[Foxspeed]

apparently something new is replacing it so the problem doesn't persist again

can you get photos of the replacements etc

 

[Ollie RS]

Just picked the car up from Renault, i must say the gearbox feels so much better now, more smooth and stiff, the way it should have been from the start. I don't have any photos of the new synchros but they feel much better

The Federal 595 rsr's are going on tomorrow as well

 

[N0ddie]

So your box was repaired as opposed to replaced?

I sure hope or 2nd box lasts.

 

[Ollie RS]

the box was taken apart and the broken synchros were replaced it looked fresh from the inside so no reason to replace so much its only the rings that crack but now it has been replaced with a new type which should be much stronger

 

[N0ddie]

Superb. Are all Renaults changing them for new types? I assume Renault Italia done yours?

 

[Ollie RS]

i hope so however i can't guarantee it, Simo's friend works for Renault and he took care of it for me so could have been on a friendship basis but the parts came from Renault so i assume that they have developed a better part. Yeah it was done in Monza in Renault, fantastic service, can't even compare to my UK experiences with dealers and service centres...

Can you get a hold of the new part numbers for the syncro for future references?

 

[Ollie RS]

i will try, Simo may know

 

[Ollie RS]

Federals are now on

 

[Ollie RS]

Noticed this pipe under the bonnet that i have never seen before, car was at Renault, does anyone know what it is?




Also, does anyone know the best way to get rid of condensation in the headlight? the war was outside during the weekend and there was a huge storm

 

[Hippy]

Look for numbers 8 & 9.

You're welcome.

 

[Ollie RS]

I only had a chance to drive it normally on the road, not pushed it yet. It's 30 degrees here today so i hope they heat up and stick to the road

 

[A2ON]

Headlight should be covered under warranty , seals gone .

 

[Ollie RS]

You're welcome.

[Raptor6767]

thank you! must have been hidden behind the filter before...

Don't you lie, you just wanted a reason to promote that company on the sticker.

Really bad day for the Clio today

Whilst at Monza, the clutch blew so no pressure in the pedal, which caused loads of smoke and a leaking gearbox. Seems strange as the track is fast so not much gear changing at all... i hope the problem isn't too big and costly but it looked quite bad to me.Managed to get the car towed to Renault so i will find out whats gone wrong in the coming days. Also the brand new federal rsr on the front looks as if someone has cut it with a knife, i'm guessing the quality of them can't be great if it happens after one light track day...

 

[Yiannis197]

really?bloody hell mate that doesn't sound goos at all. Still on warranty right?

 

[Ollie RS]

yeah it is i hope its covered the car only got picked up from Renault last week after having the gearbox repaired... not a happy bunny at the moment
