Renault Sport Clio 197 Racing Red

Finally got the brakes sorted out:

Did my parcel shelf today in hope that the occasional rattle would stop. Now I just need to drive the car and see.

i would be changing the actual seal on the servo rather than relying on some sealer...(long term)

Seal looks perfect, but it appears that it was the problem. I know this isn't best looking solution but it works like a charm. It took the Renault "specialists" 4 years and no results to find the cause, and only one afternoon for my friend and me.

ABS turns on @ 150km/h and I had 70-80% of pressure on the brake pedal.

Wow i need to check that seal, my brakes i feel are shocking

I didn't know what to do when I've realised that it was the problem - to smile or to cry. :rofl:

My dad had the same issue on his Audi A4. Numerous times he complained of the brakes being unassisted at times when you really needed them. Took it in many a times and because it wasnt flaging up on the pc they let it slide.

At the time the letter was being drafted saying that its all ok just incase he was to have a crash due to them, the oldest technician took a look and found a slit in the vacuum hose...problem solved.

 

[Raptor6767]

I had the vacuum hose changed before too. Because of the non-return valve - they have suspected it was that.

Rene how did you set the hydraulic on your v3?

 

[Raptor6767]

TBH Simo, I don't know. I always went to a suspension experts to fine tune them accordingly to my preferences.

 

[Raptor6767]

Had some issues with my left xenon bulb:

Had them changed both.



It took me 2 years to install the LED turn signal bulbs. With them I installed 3W SMD LED position lights too.






And to finish off the LED conversion - had the rear lights/brake lights installed too:

[Giles]

that really cool!

Where did you get LED blubs from? Need any work on it?

 

[Raptor6767]

eBay FTW.

Had to install a 6 Ohm resistors in the rear lights for the turn signals.

Oh, and a w5w T10 1W SMD LEDs are in the side indicators. Had to remove the top LED off the bulb in order to fit them.

 

[jimpy9]

that reminds me i need some

 

[Foxspeed]

good work :wiz:

 

[Giles]

They look awesome!

What is 6 Ohm resistors and can it change all the bulbs to LED, is that all need to do?

 

[Raptor6767]

You need resistors for the turn signal bulbs because othervise they don't work.

You can buy LEDs with them preinstalled.

 

[Raptor6767]

Yesterday I've found out that my AC compressor had gone - again. Had it repaired twice in the last 3-4 years. So I just bought a new one this time.



Also, ordered 12 W5W 1W SMD LEDs for the interior (2 LEDs have died in the past 4years, so I've ordered 12) week ago from Hong-Kong and they are already here:

is that mean AC pump?

 

[Raptor6767]

is that mean AC pump?

No. Air condition compressor.
