  2. not bad for 100,000 miles and 10 years old
     
  3. 2017_07_28_11_31_58_177.jpg quick question for all. my map sensor is held in place by a tie wrap. there appears to be no stud or nut like this pic i found on the web?.

    Does it look like it has snapped off under the sensor, all mk3's i have seen have a stud, mk2's have a clip, does the rest of the manifold look the same.
     
  5. no reminse of a stud ian. its weird. could it have had a manifold change maybe
     
  6. will get a pic cover off

    That is really weird, everything else looks right, was thinking it might have been changed for a R26 one, but it has fewer pipe connections.

    What age is your car, it looks like where the tie wrap lump is, thats where the spring clip on a mk2 fits, so i#m thonking its a really early engine.
     
  8. If I remember well, it have a kind of clip to hold the sensor. When I saw it first time I thought must be a joke...Renault again!!
     
  9. its an aug 10 car
     
  10. actually just checked its a june 2010 car
     
  11. same as mine found on the net renault-megane-rs-250-cup-2011-820_69.jpg
     
  12. found this not 250 but we think like this maybe i2.jpg

    same sort of idea, they must have had a problem with the early ones and that's why they changed it to a stud.

    A tie wrap will hold it better than that little clip.
