R26 dci questions

Discussion in 'Megane Discussion' started by Chris bowen, May 1, 2017.

  1. looking at getting a dci (f1 r26) as a daily smoker and just wanted to ask those that know a couple of questions ?

    Do the cam chains need doing ????
    Also the one I went and had browse over chugs a bit of smoke but has been re mapped to a million bhp etc ???

    Anything else I should be on the look out for ? Windows and electrics work etc stops goes ok as well ??

    Cheers

    R26 isnt a dci
     
  3. Ok it's the same shape etc has the f1 decals and recaros brembos etc just has the 2.0 Diesel engine
     
  4. If its been remapped it will smoke under load but so long as its a reputable remap, no problem.
     
  5. Well what about cam chain do they need doing ??

  6. No. Generally pretty reliable except for the common Megane 2 RenaultSport issues (swivel hubs, windows etc).
    F1 stickers etc have been put on later. It's just a 175.

    Hi Chris
    I have that engine in my Espace Dci 175, it has 160k miles and still on the same cam chain, i also have this if your interested http://www.rsmegane.com/threads/megane-dci-175-diesel-sport.13051/
     
  8. Will need ab Aux belt change at some point, but generally the chains won't need touched.
