Hi guys,
I recently had my throttle body cleaned on my 1.4 16V because it was idling at really low revs and felt like it was about to stall. Since it was cleaned, it idles fine, but now when I set off, the car feels like it's about to stall OR I burn rubber - there seems to be no middle ground...
It's the rear engine mount I'm most bothered about. On some sites it's silver with a rectangular end, and on others it's black with a round end? Why do they make it so confusing?!
Morning guys,
I'm looking to replace the whole set of engine/gearbox mounts on my car, but every website I go on seems to give me different part numbers. Can anyone give me the Renault part numbers I need??
Thanks!
Hi guys,
My sun visors were flapping about all over the place, and the cheapest ones I could find were £6 for a pair of electric ones from a 172/182. They're like new so i'm well chuffed, but how can I wire them in? Might as well use the lights if they're there!
Cheers!
Hi guys, my Clio only came with 1 key, so I bought a new key with button/chip/battery from eBay. Took it to Timpsons who do car key programming and they won't touch it. Does anyone know where I can get it programmed? Trying to avoid paying Renault £100+!
Cheers
My centre dash vents are pretty mangled, but I think I can repair them (a clip in the back looks to have just come unclipped) but to get to it I need to take them out. Took the dash off but can't see an obvious way. Does anyone know how to take them out?
Cheers!
Hi guys,
This might be a really stupid post, I'm more of an electrics guy than an engine guy, but what the hell is this clicking noise? (It stops after 6 seconds on the video)
It happens every couple of minutes for about 10 seconds, then stops. Sounds to be coming from the back of the engine...
Hi guys,
Got a complete 172 interior in good condition for £100, so swapping it out with my current Billabong green (urgh) interior. Only problem is the rear cards are cracked where the seatbelts are bolted in (I think they just ripped them out!)
My billabong ones are perfect, so is it...
The Clio (1.4 16V 2003) is running really rough when idle, seems like it's going to stall all the time. Engine light comes on intermittently, so plugged my OBD2 scanner in, and it says "O2 Sensor circuit malfunction, bank 1 sensor 2"
I'm going to guess its one of the O2 sensors which has gone...
Cheers for that. I read a few forum threads on it, but my symptoms don't seem to match up...
Spark was on the stereo cage, missed my finger by about an inch. Central locking dash button works, but the little red light doesn't come on the button like it used to. Cigarette lighter works fine...
Tried putting a new stereo in the Clio today, something must have shorted because there was a spark, and now the radio and clock on the top of the dash aren't working. I've checked the fuses, all look fine.
I read that fuse 29 (??? They just have pictures not numbers! Some say it's a picture of...
Morning guys,
My new 03 plate 1.4 16V Clio has really heavy steering, and the clutch is also really heavy. I had a 54 plate 1.2 16V last year and it was nowhere near as heavy as this.
I'm guessing its electric PAS, so I've checked the fuse and it's fine. Any other common culprits?
Cheers

was going to mount it where the headlight adjuster switch is, then connect it to a piggyback fuse. I'm guessing a 3A fuse (or should it be 2A?) then connect the earth wire...
I'm wanting to mount my phone on my drivers side vent (nearest the door) so it charges and can use the sat nav. I don't want wires trailing all over the place, and I want to retain my cigarette lighter socket. So I want a 12V feed that I can plug a USB charger into to feed my phone, that comes...
Evening!
My new 03 plate Clio has a couple of leaks. The first is the headlining right at the front of the car, which I've decided (obvious - seems to affect EVERY Mk2 clio) is the sunroof, so i've removed that and i'm waiting for some draft excluder to re-seal with.
The second wet patch is...
Ok, Cambelt i'll leave to a pro, but the rest I intend to do myself. How much gearbox oil will I need?
Spent about 5 hours taking out the whole sunroof and getting all the silicone off that the previous owner *attempted* to fix it with (Cheers pal) now it's sat without a lid on until my draft...
Hi guys,
Just bagged myself a tidy little 2003 1.4 16V Dynamique Billabong with 60k for £500. Needed a little runaround instead of my TT as I've just bought a house that needs a LOT of work. So thought I'd join the forums and get your opinion on servicing.
I've done my research, and plan on...
