Morning.

Cheeky request (as it's work I'm doing myself).

The rear brake discs on my Renault Wind include the wheel bearings, so the stub axle nuts need re-torquing afterwards. I have found a figure of 175Nm and was wondering if this sounds about right to you, for a little Renault?

TIA

Does sound about right mate

Cheers.

Turn it off and try after a min...

[bobfredstinker]

that seems to have worked. Why might it have done it and will it do it again?

You could check battery charge on engineering mode,battery pulls up all kind of faults switch off and on sometimes resets,obvies check fluid levels someone with more knowledge will help

Could just have been an o2 sensor triggered, then it just resets its self, have had this happen on mine before. take it easy on the way home just in case, if alls well then should be nothing to worry about

[bobfredstinker]

Phew!
Thanks very much, I will be sure to take it easy!
Out of interest, what does it cut the power output to? It felt like about 50!

Hope you get home safe Bob, def get it checked out as my O2 sensors chucked up a check engine light but it didn't stick it in limp mode !

Get the codes checked, if any, as soon as you can.

Thanks, I managed to nurse it home, and it behaved itself fine after that. It's going in for a front end respray tomorrow, but I'll get it looked at after that.

Thanks for the help, as usual!

Best to buy a cheap code reader/resetter about £30 from europarts mine is a Mac tools and works fine on minor mishaps
