Thank you pgarner. I will look more into this.

So basically it's best to change the headlight to a projector style so that I don't blind other drivers. The projector should give a good concentrated light beam on the road and not blind other people. The people at dectane said that if I want to mount xenon lights to let them know. Maybe they...

So, basically what you are saying is that even though a HID conversion might give more light it is possible that it would not be necessarily on the road like a projector style headlight. Is it illegal in the UK to put a HID kit on a headlight that uses H1 in particular or are you referring in...

Hey guys, Just changed my 1.2 8v Clio for a 2006 1.8 TDCi Focus and I am looking to upgrade my headlights/bulbs to xenon. I was looking at projector type headlights from the guys at dectane...

I only have one answer. This site is where I learned everything I know about turbos... The link shows only turbo optimisation and I think it answers most of your questions, although I suggest reading all the tech pages since I am sure you will learn something new... Hope it helps And the link...

Re: Clio 1.5dci ECU Tune I may be pointing the obvious here... but the IC tubing being so close to the belt (and the belt being of rubber) wouldn't it heat the hell of it and cause early fatigue? (and god forbid rupture causing any number of problems). Is it possible another route?

Can anyone tell me how I can tell if my 2003 1.2 8v is a Spi or a Mpi? Thanks...

I have a diagnostic tool that can read faulty codes and it doesn't have any... but I must check the compression. I know that it's a pluggy thing but I have looked in the engine bay and it seems that I have 2 plugs, one on top of the other...

I am not even sure which one it is... but I can check

I see this will need some serious investigation... oh well more fun for me:lol:

No I don't have bigger wheels...

No, I haven't cleaned the throtle body. I'll se what I can do. Thanks for the tip;)

Re: Clio 1.5dci ECU Tune Thanks for the reply. This will give me something to think about... for a long time... better start working...:bigsmile:

Mine shakes every couple of seconds however as I said it is very slightly... it shakes about 5 mm you can see it slightly but you can feel it better if you pun your hand on the engine.

Can anyone tell me when does the rev limiter kick in? I went to almost 6k rpm and it had a tendency to climb...I know that the max HP is at 5250 rpm and the book sais that it goes max to 5.5k so why can I go past?

Since the loosen cable doesn't seem to be the problem I'm starting a new thread... and I have a question. I have a hole on my intake through which the engine sucks air. If I cover the hole with my finger the engine almost dies and takes some time before the engine management compensates. Is the...

I checked the cable and it doesn't seem to be loose, if I did it properly... I checked how far the throtlebody opens manually from the engine bay and then asked a friend to push the pedal down... and it went all the way... I'm starting a new thread since this doesn't seem to solve the...

I'll check that as soon as I can. Thanks for the tip.I hope that will be the problem and not something else...:|

I almost forgot... since Renault are kinda stupid... you will have to measure somethings yourself... it is a distance between the 2 holes on the shock(I just can't figure it out as why can't Renault make anything simple).Measuring this will ensure that you have the correct fit.

Hi there, you will need more than a standard jack. I have watched my mechanic change my shocks and it takes time and a sturdy jack is required, you wouldn't want to happen anything, you'll damage the car and god forbid yourself. Drama aside you should search for a full system (springs+shocks)...

Yes I do... and it won't go over aprox 4.5k rpm (although I really can't remember my exact revs were when I was going at that speed). Anything between 0-87mph revs very nice and I have good acceleration, although I can't really compare it because I haven't driven a similar clio and it goes...

and one more thing...(mine has only 58bhp). I have fully serviced it (cam belt , filters... the lot) and can't get it to go over 87Mph (140kph):sad2:(with only me on board...65kilos:lol:... and a few lugguages...)... and I can't figure it out why... why is yours that fast???:blink: and I'm...

Hi!! I don't what to be a the one that contradicts you but... the factory readings are (from what I know) from 0-100KPH... meaning that your reading should be from 0-62MPH... (it's somethimes considered to be from 0-60MPH in countries with MILES as a way of measurement since it is a more round...

Re: Clio 1.5dci ECU Tune Hi and WOW... Where do you get all your info??? Tell me please with what can I read and copy my tables (I have the petrol 1.2 8v) and even write them back (I have the ELM327 but don't have that much to see, do you know any program that will give more info that is...

Hi and welcome. Back to bussines... I think the speedo might be reading wrong. As far as I know there is some kinda agreement between constructors that after a certain speed the speedo goes mush... meaning it reads a lot more than you're actually going (to save you from going too far or some...

Re: Clio Owners introduce yourselves here. Hi sampsulo, If engine upgrades i what you want... personaly I suggest a induction kit, a cip upgrade, and a new exhaust. I have a clio 1.2 8v, but in my search for parts I almost always came across parts for the 1.4 16v so it shouldn't be a problem...

I'm having some problems with my rear lights (especialy my middle LED stop light), can somebody help me find a Renault Clio II wiring diagram so that I can take some accurate electrical measurements, plus I'd like to check some more parameters. (I'm a student of electronics in my 3'rd year - so...

Can someone tell me of a program which can read the ecu maps? I found programs which can edit them but I am having problems in finding a program that can read them in the first place so I can have something to modify!!! Please help.

Hello 02coled, I found out about a site all about Renault http://www.k-tecracing.com/ they say that they are specialists, but I don't know. However they have a lot of good stuff, kinda pricy, but it is a very good starting point if you ask me. Hope I helped.

Openecu is only for Subaru and Mitsu, unfortunatelly. I'm still looking, if you have any ideas please feel free to tell me.

So I got the stuff for the OBD II from palmer performence. I got the ELM-5 cip with the program. but it doesn't have anything to program the ECU. Can anybody tell me where I can get a program, compatibile with the elm-5, with which I can tinker with my ECU.

Can i buy any hardware that connects to the Laptop? and then use an program that I like?

From 2003

I have a Renault Clio 1.2L 8v (which I hope to change soon :P )

Thanks guys, and yes I do have a laptop...

Hey guys, can anyone tell me if there are any tools (hardware) out there that I can buy and are <300$ that can offer good performance as a diagnostic tool (or more than that) compatible with computers.

And in addition to the sound of a Skyline I think that the sound of a Honda type R with a nice exhaust is awesome.

I perfectly agree, only bad stuff on forums. Thanks guys for the encouragement, I was really getting uneasy with that engine:P. The Audi 2.5td sounds great but I haven't seen one for sale (at least in Germany)!

Skyline's engine is one of the best engines in the world. It can withstand a lot of punishment. I would have liked to put some links with a 1350 bhp skyline, but the web site is dead now :-(

I hope its alright, anyway I wa to buy a 2004 model which shouldn't have any problems, cause if you google seach "bmw 320 blown turbo", you'll find quite a few.:-?
