Hello 172 owner

[Mighty Mod]

hi guys yesterday I bought my first Clio sport 172 2003 model, firstly I want to say that I was blown away with the power from this car the power just kept increasing to the limit fantastic!!

 

Has a few issues that I hope aren't too big a fix a/c not working washer bottle leaking, electric mirror switch broke off.

 

Looking forward to meeting up with some other Sydney forum members share some of your expertise (I'm parramatta area)

Welcome... sounds like you live near Clio central lol. The issues sound fairly common, so I'll think you'll find the help you need here.

That's going to be a big help this site

Already discovered the reset on the auto lights on the forum as they weren't working so that's one thing less I have to worry about fixing

 

I'll give the car a good wash and post a couple pics

I think you can order a new washer bottle pretty cheaply.

A/C, start with if it's got gas I guess. TC(IIRC?) Valves seem a common leakage point.

Mirror switch I'd probably try e-bay for a new one.

 

The Sydney guys have pizza nights and large drive days so keep your eye out.

Thanks I'll give it a go I really want a/c for summer,

Would you know how to adjust the headlights can you get a long Allen key to reach the White knob or dose the bar have to come off?

[R182]

Not sure I'm afraid ... aren't they self adjusting on the 172 like they are on the 182?

I think they are self levelling but not self adjusting.

 

Not sure if it's necessary but the bar is very easy to take off

[Mighty Mod]

Ok thanks wade, I think this one you can adjust the height I hope because 1 faces really high so I bet it would be annoying other drivers.

I think the self levelling is not working as well sat in the back of the car the passanger light didn't move but the right was moving up down a little constantly.

If I take the bar off I mite as well change the Spottie globes to a nicer white look
