I drove the new clio (diesel) and was surprised how well it handled! Compared to its counterparts from other brands that is.. But changing for a grandpa car also means changing your mindset. I know from experience, you can't overtake like you used to, etc, etc. But it does save on gas!

Ah okay, which I don't have! So why is it a steering wheel symbol?

Just occurs to me that it also has that symbol under the rev counter..

Looked for the first time in the fusebox. And saw that one was missing! I made a pic of it, can anybody tell me what it's for? It's the top right one with the steering wheel symbol.

My manifold problem wasn't a common error. It wasn't 100% straight anymore so I sanded it slightly until it was straigthened out. But that was the fix in my case. In your case it's not sure yet where it comes from. That's why you need to get its faults read. I guess you don't own an rstuner? If...

Yes I sometimes couldn't even come to a stop at a roundabout without stalling the engine. Keeping the revs up up while breaking was the only solution during that period. As I said for me it was the intake manifold that wasn't completely closed off by the gasket so it was pulling false air. All...

It's not the top mount tapping? If you still have the old ones, you can get washers for them to stop tapping. If you have the new improved ones from Renault it's not going to be that. What happens when driving (normally) at full lock?

Accessory belt tensioner?

I guess the solution is what you already did.. Get it checked via the clip or another obd device.

The idle can be a faulty sensor (map for example). Or plugs, coil pack, leads. I had the same symptoms and after trying and replacing everything it was the intake manifold taking in air. But didn't it do this before you bought it?

I'd say it's the buttons on the steering wheel, squib or very common: the clutch switch (at the pedal). Check if it's plugged in etc.

Prepare to be amazed by what the problem was.. Some a@*hole before me thought it was a good idea to put some longer than standard bolts in the inlet manifold and didn't stop there because you can see the marks of where they were touching and boring into the alloy below. It also came off with a...

That pretty much sums up CS I'm afraid.. The trick is to navigate through all the bs.

Just read through the whole thread, very nice! No moaning about, just hard work :) The lights also look nice, what did you exactly do with them?

​It's these two: Magneti marelli seems to be the original one with part number 805001446001. And the other one is a Bosch 0280158226. A little research with those numbers shows this: So it seems that it's a replacement part for the original one? Can anybody confirm?
