Indeed!! So I fitted the new blue connector and sensor and the car starts!! Unfortunately I'm still having the other issue... - Seems to idle ok then so little revs that it splutters and stalls - Also reversing is a pain and stalls so often - The car seems fine at higher revs, driving...

Thanks guys, got it successfully installed today using the sleeves and a heat gun and now the car starts again. Unfortunately I'm still having my low rev idle issue, and stalling though :(

Hello mate, I have purchased a genuine renault loom to fix this, is it just a case of snipping the old connector off, cut the wires both ends to have some.metal to play with, wind together and cover with these plastic tube things, heat up to spring/seal? Apologies not done this before and...

After closer inspection of the loom.at the back I think I've found the issue, seems to be a nic in the wires. See images. Quick question when resoldering the new part how do you know which wire is which?

Wow interesting thread, so my OE 172 cat is worth some money then? Thats reassuring after the money ive dumped on it lol

Hi mate, in your experience do you think this would be why my car was stalling also or more likely a timing issue?

Great cheers I'm hoping somewhere is open to pick one up tomorrow

Thanks, repair kit as in new sensor and adaptor the blue one?

Does this mean it's definitely a tdc issue? Also I only have a new sensor on the way not the connector but I'll try speak to someone and get the part tomorrow

Ok done the test and nothing at all, I can see the voltage supply to the computer fluctuates but nothing for rpm whilst cranking see image below.

Ok cheers ill give this a go tomorrow. What will it mean if there are no revs? I'm pretty sure there are none registering on the dials.

Thanks for the reply. Apologies for the ignorance but just a pleb in his garage here, what do you mean by the above? Do you mean with CLIP attached try and crank? And where do I see the live data in clip? I didn't see this when looking through the UI.

Update: I have got my clip to work and below errors were showing, this still most likely points towards the TDC although I don't understand why removing and cleaning would brake it but either way I have a replacement sensor on the way so I can see of it helps. Any help, advice would be appreciated.

By the way I have done a lot of process of elimination to get down to the TDC but put it like this, the car started ok but idle was very poor and stalled when changing gears slowing down then I removed the throttle body and TDC and gave em a good clean and now the car turns over but doesn't...

Thanks for this mate really helpful

Thanks for the info that's helpful. Mine is an official one I believe so I'm.hopong it does ok. Any advice on what I point it at for the tdc sensor or ignition issues? Or is there an ignition category?

Hi All, Happy Christmas Eve to you all :) I have an official Renault Clip unit and have managed to install and license the software but does anyone know of a decent guide/video that goes through what you can do with it and how? I've searched the forum and most threads related are to do with...

Great car and agree on the colour :). Looks really tidy, when I started giving mine some closer inspection I started from underneath, its amazing how good things can look on the surface till you realise one of your sills is rotted through! If you haven't already take the plastic off and give...

Thanks, and did you got for official renault or aftermarket?

Thank you, where did you get these from? was it the blue coloured one?WOuld be great if you could provide a link and i have a heat gun at least

Hi mate, hope you're still active on the forum. I'm having a similar issue with my 172, and like you am trying to diagnose before biting the bullet and spending another 50 quid on this car. What Parts did you buy in the end and from where? It looks like my TDC sensor has given up although I...

After checking again today I couldn't see any fuses out of place but there were a few gaps, I'll attach a picture to see if you can see any issues but I checked they were all in ok. Also I noted that when I turn the ignition on the immobiliser light goes out so not sure its that either. Seems...

Possible, the fux box cover is off, i can take a look tomorrow god i hope its that simple, cheers mate again fingers crossed. Anything in particular to keep an eye out for?

So I found some time today to take the TB and TDC sensor off and cleaned them again hoping that would be different ie I put the TDV in slightly wrong place or something and I needed to clean the TB properly anyway but same issue. Turns over fine but no spark at all. I did notice the red light...

Thanks for the replies mate, is there a way to diagnose if there is an issue with the TB? As until I have a go at this he won't accept its his fault and I just feel like he will charge me more money. By the way this is an experienced garage I sent to but I was nervous about sending it to him and...

This is quite advanced for me mate, is there a guide to do this or could you elaborate on a few bits, as in what dip stick, how do I know cylinder one and can I get to the crank without taking engine mount off?

Yeah sounds normal, how would I know?

I totally agree mate and consider it a lesson learnt, it was a guy my dad new so thought i could trust him but he is an old geezer and stubborn. So going back, this car has been off the road some time, however i have been using it regularly, keeping parts moving starting engine and running etc...

Currently trying to source a 32 bit laptop without shelling out, cheap i know but im 600 into this cam belt change and got a car that nwont start so hey. I did however find an old diagnostic tool and managed to run for errors, only one that came up was PO141 im im using it correctly. Which i...

Thanks Darren, yeah now i remember thats the issue, the thing is all these laptops batterys are dead so you have to runa wire to car and also even though this is 35£ the sensor is £50 if i get a good one, it all just stacks up doesnt it hence why im trying to diagnose, but i do need to use this...
