yes accelerator cable again, i know. the one i had in felt odd

So just to carry on with this, Yellow car has now had the break servo removed and repaired as the revs were very up and down, seems there was a leak, also replaced the accelerator cable whilst the servo was out. Cause why not. It seems i can finally start on cosmetic items. First up is a...

:) Lads Can anyone find one online anywhere, Needa get this to finish up

Correct, i was mistaken

I stand to be corrected, Its a timing cover

Its a Silver phase 2 172 :)

Hey lads anyone know where i can get the plastic cover for this ? I was doing some servicing on my silver clio and noticed it was broken and my fanbelt had almost torn itself apart on it :/ attached image of what i need, if anyone has an online store link i can buy it from that'd be great...

AND IT IS FINALLY FIXED, The ECU was to blame, looks like the prior owner had someone messing around with the software. Got the ECU map sent RSTUNING UK, Response was WTF IS THIS, New map sent back and loaded by RSTUNING SA and the car is sorted Long story shorty, if its being weird...

Alright so, this hesitation / stuttering / stopping in the rev range used to happen all the time, after getting it back from it last workshop visit it now only happens when the car is cold.

Hey all Decided to put some pics up :) Car has been a nightmare lately, it drives but driving me up the wall with this nonsense. Its a 2001 model with 156k km on the clock. Hasnt had a clean in a month or so though, mostly been in shop or i've been working on it. Lots of paint work n some...

There have only been two i have ever seen in SA, and i have owned both haha

I'll check it out ! Thanks man. ANyone else have any ideas i can check ?

Everything was in order here, car is still acting up It gets progressively worse, im starting to think there is some build up or blockage ? Came back from doing the work above and it was working fine, the stuttering is getting more n more everyday

Not sure man, will check tomorrow, any other earthing points i should check ? Im gonna clean the throttle body, TPS and Idle control valve tomorrow and hope that sorts her out

Seems to be working when i open here, maybe your browser bud ?

Will post some photos of the car for everyone once its fixed and not driving me up the wall

Videos below Please ignore my voice, was talking to my mechanic (South African branch of RS Tuning) we both have no idea wtf is happening on this car anymore, when it was booked in with him there were no faults, it finally threw a fault up and its why we did the VVT sensor, he drove it around...

Nevermind, problem is not fixed. However its only occuring when the car is cold now, seems to be fine once i drive it around for awhile. Will upload some videos of what its been doing. I HAVENT replaced the throttle position sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor, throttle body, idle...

All the plastics you have been replacing

For those interested :) I replaced, Fuel pump, fuel filter, injectors, crank position sensor, ignition leads, coil pack, MAF sensor, ANNNNNDDD It ended up being the VVT sensor, Car is running like a dream now

Bud where are you getting these from :) i need some

Injectors replaced, Not that. Not throttle body or cable, Changing lambda sensor out now, will let ya'll know

Got it, did some googling :) Thanks man

Ahhh Okay so on my ph1 you can remove it and it blows air when the car is on, took it off to test. But just weird that its on the car at all ?

Quick question, My phase 1 has this thing blocked, My phase 1 facelift has a tube going from it, when the car is on, it pushes air out from this (images pulled from the web)

Swapped the MAF from my silver phase 1 into my yellow phase 1, and the low rpm startup is sorted, however its still getting stuck in the rev range, perhaps a spring or pedal sensor or something not working ??

Coil pack and leads done, no difference, accelerator cable done, no difference. ECU maybe ? Perhaps sensors ? Was plugged into OBD at renault and 0 faults found

Alright so, got it diagnosed by someone that isnt me, Renault shop, They rate its coil pack and HT leads. So they replacing that now, will update tomorrow if that sorts it out

Got an accelerator cable coming, Throttle body havent checked as of yet

Okay so Checked the spark plugs today, they all good, cleaned out the MAF sensor. There is 0 change, if i drive the car full tilt all the time there are no issues at all. Any ideas ?
