emissions

driving home today the exhaust monitor warning light comes on when I get stuck in traffic. This goes of when moving. The handbook says go to renault soon as. Anyone else had this, if so does the t need a new exhaust. simon.

Hey guys, just want to pick your brains? I'm looking to buy a OBD reader and I just wondered if anyone could tell me which model number I should buy? I've seen the one that K-tec sells but I've noticed what looks like the same one cheaper on ebay, but I'd just like to confirm if I'm ordering the...

Hi all, I currently drive a DC5 which I'll shortly be selling. One of my reasons for selling is the suspension which, though wonderful on smooth roads, is an absolute nightmare on my daily commute due to the quality of the roads near me. After 18months of ownership I'm ready to move on. I...

I have an Orbisoud soft exhaust. The other day my emissions light came on. After reading a couple of posts on this site it seemed a common problem in this cold weather, so had decided to get the code cleared and see if the light came back on to see if there was a problem. A week later I still...

Hello, quick question from a new member, so apologies if this has been covered :oops: I've had my standard 182 cup for nearly a year (05 plate with just 37K on clock). last night on the M5 the exhaust gas warning light suddenly flicked on & stayed on... All levels are bang on & it's still...

Fitted a BTB zorst a few months ago and noticed it was blowing from the cat join a few weeks ago and put it on list of things to do. Yesterday the gas monitor warning light came on. So today i covered the joint in zorst sealent for joins, clamped it back up and ran it for 20mins to harden it...

Recently in this cold weather up north the trophy has been over-revving on a morning. Is this normal on the 182 engine as some sort of warming up process or is there something going wrong? It doesn't do it once warm that's all and this is the first winter I've had it Cheers

Hi people, 007's cat has collapsed internally and is preventing it from running, anyone know where i can get either A) an OEM cat for less than the £1,040+VAT (!!) that Renault are asking, or B) a place that does decent sports cats that will fit the OEM exhaust. K-Tec are out for the time...

I've been looking in the garage pages of the forum under modifications and I've noticed that quite a few owners have removed the acoustic valve. What does it do? What is the advantage of removing it? and where is it? I've had my trophy for a while now but only recently fitted a K&N panel...

has anyone fitted matched manifolds? sport cams? been looking at K-Tec ones and been debating it. and de-cats?? who's got one has it made a difference and has everyone just pulled out the emissions light?

Hello ! 8) Thought I would start a thread for all those who are about to get their Trophy's Remapped by Paul at RS Tuning so we can all post our comments, views, results etc... Last year (8/10/08) I had my Trophy put on the RR at RS Tuning. The car was standard and made 162.3 BHP and 140...

time may be up for #356 just recently got married and possibly 356 may now be a little to small for our needs. The wife has her heart set on me getting a 330CI or 330 convertible, cos it looks "posh", and i was thinking of going for a 230 R26. BUT....... the question I want to throw out there...

Hi all Ive just recently fitted a cat-back RS192 and ever since the engine doesnt run properly when cold. At 1000-2000 revs when gently accelerating i.e. 10-20% throttle it pops and farts and doesnt want to go at all, but when the revs get up to 3ishk and above it springs back into life. this...

had a decat on for a week but light was on so put cat back on and light is still on, any suggestions?

Got into my car excited about heading to Bedford this evening and as I drove down my road, my excitement died.. The Exhaust emissions light was on and unlike before, it was static, not flashing.. Restarting the car did not clear it so I left it on the driveway and I shall be borrowing my fair...

Yes tread shuffle not truffle shuffle! :lol: Well my question is, is there such a thing? If so what does it mean! I ask because had the Trophy booked in yesterday as im noticing small knocking noise when moving the steering wheel ever so slightly from side to side! You can also feel it...

My exhaust has recently started to sound really loud. It's standard but it’s turned quite boomy on the move and when stationary it resonates into the boot and is starting to get annoying. It is due a service however I'm thinking the cat has gone? The engine is lumpy all of the time more than...

Can someone clear this one up for me? Maybe being abit stupid but what is the acoustic valve and what does it do when fitted and when removed?

Hi folks Have you booked up for the club stand at French Car Show 2009 yet? if not it’s eight weeks to go till 14th June ! This is our biggest event of the year!!!!!! THIS EVENT IS RUN FOR FRENCH CARS AND FOR YOU ! Big changes and additions this year including; * New layout – clubs/trade &...

#468 went for its full 36k service inc aux belt kit, would just like to say what a great job the guys did, good prices and the customer service is perfect, the best ive recieved off a garage since ive been driving. They even sorted me out with a Kangoo courtesy van as i had work, and cleaned the...

Just got back from a weekend of driving in the Lake District with a few mates and am now fed up on the intermittent wiper settings - its rubbish! How easy is it to change and any idea of the costs involved? Also do you need an OBD code machine to reset the emissions light or is there some...

http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/article.aspx? ... d=14887192 The reason accidents occur on these roads you communistical fools is that a) the road surface is usually crap, b) visibility around corners = 0, c) caravaners force drivers to take unnecessary risks because they simply won't get out of the...

Hi all I've got one of these but haven't bothered to fit it yet. Have people noticed much difference when fitting there's and are there any downsides? Cheers, Matt. :D

Hi everyone - I've been knocking around the idea of getting a Trophy for a while now, and I'm going to be buying one very soon now. Quick question: is it best to get a bog-stock example (what I've always done in the past) or does the Trophy respond well to a cat-back pipe and a panel filter...

hi folks, bit of a strange one, started to get a little whistling sound which has now got even worse from the exhaust over the christmas hols. It was coming from the join between the cat and the middle section pipe. Took the cat off and it looks like the ovel part where it butts up to the middle...

think im gunna get my car dyno tested next month, but wanna know what trophies out there have had it done and what bhp and torques figures you have. would be intersting to see this with some cars standard and some modded and compare them

With the warranty, does the work actually have to be done before the warranty runs out or does the garage just need to be aware of it before it runs out? My Trophy has just failed its MOT on every single emissions test :( I can't take it in to Renault until Monday which is the last day of...

went to get a diagnostic check on my car because my warning light came on and they found the cat had a malfuntion. weird thing is the car never went in limp mode and second time it red no errors and light went off, i dont know what to think of i and got told my car is running too rich, just 1...

eariler on today my emissions warning light came on so i rang an old friend to have a look at it, he told me that disconnecting the battery then reconnecting it might make the light go off..it didnt having waited 20 mins then plugged battery in still didnt work, so will need diagnostics check...
