Ah I may have misread your initial post sorry... If it does it when cold and when fully up to temperature then I would say probably not. If it was just from cold, then I'd say yes as the CTS gives the ECU information for spark advance, fueling etc in conjunction with the lambda for cold start...

Could easily be coolant temp sensor... does it do it both cold and hot or just cold or just hot? It's what sends the ECU information to control idle/vacuum advance/injector feeling info etc.

Welcome, where about's in the SW are you?

Thanks bud :smile: Part numbers are all on the Renault Parts Direct website, on each item it has a SKU reference number - that's the genuine Renault part number and can be used in any main dealer or specialist. :smile: One thing I will add, the coolant temp sensor wasn't genuine (Haas from...

For the thermostat? 8200772985

Yeah definitely... That seal won't have been doing much the amount it was warped and split! Going to change the lambda next, then pretty much ever sensor has been replaced with a new one so they shouldn't fail for a long time to come. Also need to find a cat as well.

Replaced the thermostat... think it was overdue! The seal was knackered on both sides with splits and holes, and to make it worse the bleed screw for the coolant had been cross threaded so had to re-tap the thread on the housing and fit a new bolt. All tested and seems to be working nicely with...

It's really not complicated, but here's a video to help...

I'd recommend 3M compounds and matching coloured pads, great products that although aren't the cheapest they genuinely work! (Been detailing cars professionally for over 10 years). Green & blue I would start with.

Thanks bud :) Yeah they're definitely my favourite wheels for a Clio 172/182.

A couple from tonights monthly meet with the Rensport facebook group...

Well I'm working on the theory that all the parts I've replaced can cause issues so now they're all new there's less chance of something failing and causing a bigger issue or leaving me stranded somewhere. 90% of the bits were genuine the only non genuine items where the inlet temp sensor and...

Have also just replaced a load of other sensors on the clio... And my poor idle has gone! :) It's now smooth as any other car I've owned, so the comments from people saying they all idle like that aren't strictly true. Replaced the MAP sensor as the one on the car broke when I pulled it off to...

When your ready to sell, let me know ;) Looking great, and good progress too!

Clean your tdc sensor and see if that helps.

If it drives fine, and MPG isn't effected don't worry. The orange light will probably go out soon... a few cycles of starting/stopping the engine and it'll clear itself. Post cat lambda sensor can throw up the light, as can wet conditions, all common on these cars.

Awesome photography, and lovely cars :) Even the wet weather doesn't really take anything away from the shoot...

LeeP86 - It's a great combo IMO, anthracite and silver works so well. Yours looked like it was great fun on track :) I work for Renault... so can get a decent discount so genuine parts worked out cheaper than pattern parts from Euro / GSF etc. No brainer for me! :)

Thanks bud, appreciated Yeah smaller front plate done when I changed the reg to my private plate, made sense :)

Decided to replace some parts on the Clio as it's never idled and run as it should to me, and after un-earthing more bodged jobs by previous owner(s), which involved a whole evening messing about with the connections on the relay board/engine bay fuse board due to broken wires/ a loose main...

As above really, it probably isn't actually centralised. Even a small amount of it being off-centre will bring the light on. Or it could possibly be faulty, did you turn it much when aligning it the first time? Also check all the wiring is free going to the squib itself.

Not rate it?

It's at Donnington, weekend of the 15th July.

Is everyone going on track? May be up for joining you guys this year :)

We have regular monthly meets down in Devon & Cornwall, average around 15-20 cars per meet... Perhaps we could combine the two and have a meet at Exeter or something so it's halfway for everyone once the weathers nicer? https://www.facebook.com/groups/1757931594494609/

I would always try a gearbox oil change first, especially if it's been in the box for 100k.

I would try to get all 4 matching if you can, if nothing else it rules them out of the problem if it persists, and at least gives you better tyres for when you do find what's wrong. On my last car I had issues similar to the ones your experiencing and it was the rear toe that had a problem...

I can get the service kits from work thankfully at cost price, any reason RPD are stopping postage with oils?

Wait, it passed the mot?

Yeah ignore bottom sensor bud.
