Knock sensor circuit fault - is the sensor plugged in, intact and not hanging off the block?

Some ELM Scans won't work with iOS/Android devices

Cylinder 1 is always flywheel side on Renault engines. To carryout a leak off you will need a test kit (you can make one with some tubing and a bottle but it's not gonna provide an accurate means of measurement). Guess which one has an issue above?

Impossible to say without plugging it in I'm afraid as it could be anything.

Try adding some easy start and see if the rail pressure reading ramps up. I'd also consider a leak off test as it may be a faulty injector on No.3 causing the drop.

Shotgun!!!

Silly mistake to make but loads have made exactly the same and I usually have to fix at least one Clio with the same issue when we go to a track day. All done though so result!

You cant compare a MkII Ph1 Clio TB to a MkV Golf as they are completely different technologies. Have you plugged it in to diagnostics and viewed the live data channel or an oscilloscope and confirmed that the TPS is ranging correctly?

You may have damaged either the TPS or created a minor air leak.

I've never seen that happen before, ever (hang on a second...) Has this also cured your non-starting issue by any chance?

That's not overly scientific i'm afraid - You need to do some more work to check these where having a DMM to hand will be of great use. If you have one handy give me a call on the business line and i'll try to walk you thru it. Mick

Did you prime it properly and just leave it idling for a good while or just you just go out and nail it like a man?

Okay stop... If it's flashing the "STOP" Inside the engine light the you have a Level 2 failure... normal cause is actuator relay control. The problem is most likely the small black relays them self but can also be broken wiring in the loom itself.

Pop it in and we'll take a look. We're in Long Eaton Diamondmotors.co.uk

That's fine yes

Just but the light, they're something like £24 from Renault IIRC

The K9K units function on volume rather than oil pressure. I believe you need 300ml of oil from the return in 60secs of idle. Has the oil feed been changed? Done a few lately that I'm writing a report for the website on it.

Probably just the breather pipe venting

That'll teach me to reply at 3am... must read in full!

I'd go as high as £1400 but anymore and I'd sooner have a nice Williams. Just remember it's 23yrs old - The paint will not be as good as you think it is in the pics.

Not all of it no just the aux belt but... take it back and see what they say as it may not be the pump. By law whoever did it must provide warranty on the job they've done covering parts and labour for 12months. If it's something to do with the job they've done they should be fixing it free of...

Control stalk... possibly the red link loom

He is deffo bidding it up. Spoke to him and he's said it's going nowhere for less than £1650 I want it but I'm not handing that money over without seeing it and he's a HUGE trek from me... kinda puts me off. He also mentioned it smokes on the phone

Probably a water pump issue but take it back to whoever did the belts with your concerns. If they value your custom they will take a look for you.

You've got two choices here: Hit the plugs with a breaker bar or impact gun and hope they free without bringing the thread. Replace the head. If they do bring the thread you can timesert the plug Wells but the head should still be removed to do so.

Normally the sensor clips on to a bracket which is screwed to the A-pillar. To remove the sensor just insert a small flat blade screwdriver into the pivot point and lever it a bit to allow the pivot point to pop clear.

Just dismantle the selector and remove the position latch. My only question is WHY would you need this as it stops you grabbing reverse by mistake?

Are you after a scientific/physical measurement? The smallest dribble is all that would be needed, just use common sense... you won't break anything just make smeared marks on the edge.

If you can move the pulley without the camshaft altering position it is fucked... bin it off for a new one

As you've posted really - Either the Subframe needs dropping or the engine needs lifting slightly.
