dondee Posted 11, January 2010 Report Share Posted 11, January 2010 Hello, I have recently bought a Clio 172 and I'm in love, it's time for it 110k service and I need to know a good mechanic I can trust and that is not going to rip me of because the car is French. There is a nasty vibration at high revolutions that I think may be an snapped mount engine mount or rattling exhaust manifold and the car needs to be looked over by someone who knows what they are looking at. I am in Melbourne and don't mind traveling if the mechanic is good. Can anyone help? Thanks Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strife Posted 11, January 2010 Report Share Posted 11, January 2010 welcome- most probably your intermediate muffler, has happened to a few people, myself included. use search. In melbourne there is a bloke named Paul i think - you should have a look in the clio II technical section. best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 11, January 2010 Report Share Posted 11, January 2010 Welcome Ryan. Run a search as this has been covered a ton of times but off the top of my head Virage, Alpine Affair and Auto Paris seem to the go in Melbourne. Cheers, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 11, January 2010 Report Share Posted 11, January 2010 Welcome to the community. I use Alpine Affaire (Ringwood), but depending on your location, Virage (Sth Melb) or AutoParis (Box Hill) may be more convenient. A buzz at high RPM sounds like something loose. Exhaust would be the first place I'd go looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr P Posted 12, January 2010 Report Share Posted 12, January 2010 Virage is the only place I would trust. Carl is awesome Alpine don't even have the tools to change a cam belt!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondee Posted 12, January 2010 Author Report Share Posted 12, January 2010 Thanks for the help! The car is now booked in to an exhaust shop this thursday - hope they can find what's making the noise. As far as the mechanics go, I will have to take a look into the places that have been recommended. Once again thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 12, January 2010 Report Share Posted 12, January 2010 Alpine don't even have the tools to change a cam belt!!! You are incorrect. He's now done 2 cambelts on RSCs in my household. What led you to that belief? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr P Posted 13, January 2010 Report Share Posted 13, January 2010 Suspect they botched mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
