thought i would just update this thread to say the car is now working, although has a very lumpy idle for me to look into! I sent the UCH off for repair to dieselpumprepair.com as I could tell that pin 14 was not getting an earth so much be a fault with UCH, they were very helpful over the phone...

sounds like an uch issue. there's a few repair services on ebay that you can send your unit to get repaired and there a number of common issues they show. one being: "The right hand indicator will flash constantly unless you indicate left to cancel it out, but when return back to the mid point...

my multitimer model is UCH-HG if it helps at all.

i'm looking at pin 14 on 201 yes it has continuity to wire 2 on the "starting and charging" diagram i posted earlier. if i give wire 2 on the "starting and charging" diagram an earth straight to the battery the car fires up straight away without issue. so i'm at a loss at what to look at with...

so i spent a little more time on the car this evening. the wire from the relay has continuity to pin 14 on the uch but obviously it's not giving an earth. I'm stuck now, I think it's a UCH problem but not sure. anyone else experienced this?

Hi All, I found the size for anyone interested is 28mm inner diameter and 4mm thickness. renault dealership wanted £5.60 for this o-ring which i've found elsewhere for much less. part no. 7703065311

cheers matey. can anyone clarify what happens at pin 14 on the multitimer? is it a switched earth or just uses the multitimer earth (e5)?

oh i also managed to fix the serv light. there was a fuse that had blown for the rain sensor, so no more dashboard lights!

spent a little more time on the car this evening and managed to get the starter to fire. after finding a decent wiring diagram for starting and charging i found that the wire marked "pink" is the issue, this goes to the multitimer, uch? my wire wasn't pink however it was brown. i gave this wire...

Hi All, my project clio was experiencing a very small coolant leak at the front of the car(side of the engine). I've torn the car apart and found the reason for the leak, picture below. the o-ring on the coolant pipe hose flange had split, as you can see in the picture. clio dealers want £6 for...

Hi All, thought i would update in case this helps anyone. I bought a used full loom on ebay(£35). removed most of the loom, the bit that goes inside the car, and just tried replacing the main engine loom. 6 hours later no electrical fault light anymore! the "serv" light is on but that is due to...

ok will test all relays and then I'm not sure really. can anyone point out/ have diagrams of all the earths that I haven't mentioned in my first post? 2 near slam panel, one from transmission to chassis and one above transmission on engine ? anyone have diagram for throttle position sensor? I...

Hi All, I've been working on a project Clio 172 for about a year now. bought the car as a non-runner, replaced engine,clutch,fluids etc. I didn't buy the car having ever seen it run. I've come back to it this year, with the nice weather, to try and get it running and finally get it off my...

Like so ?

Hey all, I have a part, well 2 of them, that I have no clue where it goes. I assumed it went in the wheel arch but there's a clip on the back that looks like it hooks into a pipe or cable. Started as a project a year ago and have now just had time to come back to it, so memory of this piece has...

as far as i'm aware the 172 Cup shocks fit a Non Cup, only the 172 cup shocks though, not 182.

glad to hear, have you got a multimeter to check your alternator is working? previous battery could have died because it wasn't being charged. if you do connect up the multimeter to positive and negative of battery while car is running and set it to voltage. if it's running at 14v your good to go.

starter motor requires a lot of amps so if battery can't supply it all you will hear is a ticking when trying to start.

it could even be a bad battery, have you tried getting someone to give you a jump?

oh ok, if it just clicks and doesn't even try to turn over then it's definitely a fuse/relay/ground wire or bad start motor. without the immobilizer the clio 172 tries to turn over and supplies fuel it just doesn't spark. main suspect is probably a ground wire imo.

does the starter sound strong when turning over? it's unlikely a bad immobilizer and you've checked 2 keys so unlikely a key problem. have you checked the grounds are connected up? there's a few thread around with an explanation on where to find these. check fuses/relays

have you got another key to try for a while and see if it does the same thing?

bad battery probably.

is your immobiliser light on? is this light on?

Ok, sounds like you all think its normal. I've managed to get everything in but it wasn't an easy job like everyone else says, wrestled with it for a while.

Ye car is on axle stands on front

Hi all, Recently bought new 172 cup shocks and springs.trying to fit today and from what I've read is a really easy job. Problem is the shock is sitting much lower then the hub bolts and not aligning up as I would expect. Is that normal? I can get them to align by fighting with the control arm...

get an error clicking link, I'm guessing you have to be a member? I've bought springs and shocks now already but thanks for the offer.

cheers everyone, cleared some things up. have order 172 cup shocks and new springs.

awesome, what's the difference between the 182 and 172 shocks for the front? I'm guessing the cup shocks are just a bit stiffer?
