Thanks a lot for the help guys. My car had its major service 900 miles ago now so its got brand new Renault oil and I also had the plugs changed they weren't cheep !!! I will give the 95 Ron ago and see what that does for the trophy. Ive have owned two Trophy's and do understand they run bad...
My idle just feels a lot more lumpy at the moment and sometimes there feels a lack of power when accelerating.
Why would changing to 95 make it better surely it will always run better on 98 as that's what the ECU is programmed for ??
I have tried the thrashing yes ... the T seems to be temperamental sometimes pull hard at the low rev band and then puts you back in your seat when it hits the wonderful 5000rpm and other times feels real sluggish and the 5000rpm band doesn't do much!
Been reading into the acoustic valve a lot...
Thanks a lot for the feedback.
I have just ordered a CAF 76mm diameter. I am going to remove the AV and leave the original CAF in place with the new ordered CAF placed on the bottom grill and facing the original CAF just for some extra cold air in that area. Worth ago got nothing to lose.
Good...
well i have just defeated that objective as i have just put 8000K HID's in my T. however the ballast packs are very light maybe only 1KG for both !! I hate modified cars and other than the HID's my T is completely standard with just 14K on the clock, They make to trophy look real smart if they...
I managed to find the thread on the acoustic sensor and there seems to be mixed views some say power increase some say power loss ?? Is it worth me taking out?? also do you think it would beneficial to redirect the cold air feed pipe or replace with a larger pipe as mine seems to be very crush
Would this av be the cause to my slight lack in power and throttle response ?? Also would you lot advise just removing it ? And if I do will I get a serv light ?
The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(
Many of you may have noticed I have been posting alot of "lack of power" and problems with my trophy topics. Recently I have been having trouble with performance from my T.
Last night I noticed a fairly loud noise coming from the engine bay when the ignition was on. I poped the bonnet and...
oh just another few things to add... it seams to be a little louder when i accelerate hard and just not feel as fast.
At idle it is now much more lumpy than usual.
It had its major service 4 months ago and has covered 1200miles since then
Past its M.O.T last week with emissions being all OK so...
The other week i posted a topic on here about my trophy not feeling the same as it normally does and a little sluggish. It only became apparent to me the other day that....
4 weeks ago i fitted some HID's, it was straight after this that i noticed the lack in performance. So i had a look tonight...
I don't live round Portsmouth, I come from Hertfordshire but during the week I stay at highbury college as it's where my apprenticeship is based. I use to drive down to college in my T but stopped after it was badly keyed across my bonnet. Now it just hibernates in my garage at home :(
55 plate T spotted in the car park of the fairly new 50meter indoor swimming pool in Portsmouth yesterday evening.
Very clean however a very coked up pair of scorpions, ohh and a pink jumper in the rear window :lol:
just booked the trophy into a local garage for them to have a look. When I went on Saturday they seemed to think it was running to rich and therefore explaining the lack of power and the reduced MPG. My Trophy is also idling a lot worse than it has ever done before, so that maybe due to it...
Just took my T out for a drive and it seems to be lacking power. Still accelerating ok but just doesnt feel as if all the powers there. Anyone else experience this ?
Speaking of garage doors damaging a trophy, i had my trophy parked outside my garage door the other day when my sister (stupid) opened it from the inside very sharply and took the paint off the front of my bumper !! Was not happy, however having my trophy keyed all across the bonnet last year...
From what you have posted it sounds like the connector switches under the steering wheel case between the cover and airbag. I had a similar problem and found the contacts under the steering wheel to be very dirty, gave them a clean and now works fine. And the horn is located behind the front...
