Hi gang,
Ok....I am back in the mood for sorting things so I r-e-a-l-l-y think I am going to have a go at the belts myself......I know what some of you will say but I am fairly technically sound and confident with the oily bits. It's bugging me that this is the only thing I am afraid of...
No workshop afraid bud.....I have to slum it in a small garage littered with kids bikes and lawnmowers :P
Fair point.....ferries across to the mainland aren't too scary I suppose, especially off season.

Quick shot in the dark here.....how much would it take for any of you guys @Fred@BTM @MicKPM @Dan@SJM to get yourselves over to sunny NI to do the belts, dephaser and pump on a Clio 172?
Has there ever been a group effort on this? Would there be many NI takers? How many could you bear to do in...
You could check and see if the factory stereo loom hasn't been cut or changed in any way to accommodate an after market stereo.....
They may have nipped into the CC loom to get the remote feed (for when the car is turned on or something)

Sorry bud.....just having a whine, been a bad week :D
'Orrible indeed fella.......on a side note, took it for a tentative first drive this morning (wasn't finished till ~2am) and ABS issues all sorted.
I have a new little gremlin though that will be related to me stripping the car I am sure...
You could probably start by swapping out the CC unit for a start......think you would get one quite cheap on here.
After that.....wiring.....horrible, stinky, French, wiring
J
Sorry for lack of replies guys.....spent ALL of yesterday on this.
Jeez dude......that kind of goes against what I use this community for, to learn or work things out myself. I did try that by the way if you will see above, with Renault who wanted £1800 to fix it.
Anyway......the news...
Right guys.....need more help.
Just replaced the ABS pump with a 2nd hand part.
And I am seeing exactly the same problem.
Also, because of it, I am struggling to bleed the system with RSTuner......I hear no pump activity at all when i fire the motor from RSTuner.
Please help.....I dont know...
That's good news at least bud.
Yeah. Looks like a bit of a pig to get at but I have the RSTuner ABS module and am hoping that will help me in the bleeding process.
J
Dude......just get it to another, reputable garage, or one of the guys above and get some peace of mind. Stop worrying about the detail.
Power is back......great.
You are hearing some new noises now but you are LISTENING for them now and constantly talking about the broken car.....which I don't...
Hey bud, I hear you.....that is definitely an option....have already been in touch with bba-reman, ecu-testing and actronics. Cheapest for a rebuild is ~200.
However, I have sourced an abs pump that is the same number as mine for less, probably worth a punt.
Just need clarity if i use the same...
Right.......ripped the shat out of everything to get a good eye on the pump. Looks like a right now lacks to get right out.....bottom bolts seem to require an elf to remove.
Part # is 8200 270 251
Would anyone here happen to have one of those kicking about?
J
Have done the connector on the and module itself fella.....is that the one?
No live readings....I just left it into Renault and implicitly asked them to tell me what was wrong with the abs and they said the only code was the abs module. Reporting a faulty circuit within the pump or something.
Hey guys,
Not one to bump a thread usually but if I can get an answer with reference to the coding query (I.e. if I get the same part #, do I need to recode anything?), I can get one of these eBay pumps bought and fitted.
If it's any incentive, I'll do a full write up for the guides section...
Let me just add further clarification to that figure guys. Gutted.
So......I am getting mixed signals on-line about recoding. If, hypothetically I find an ABS module with the same part number as mine.....will I need to recode it?
This is not the news I was hoping for. I was r-e-a-l-l-y...
Ok.
Dealership has just called to say that the car needs an ABS pump.
I asked if they would be able to give me the detail on the failure, perhaps an error code or whatnot and they said they will not do that. Just that it needs an ABS pump......at £1100 or so quid.
:(
I am obv not going to do...
Right gents.....after much faffing about......the car is off to the stealer tomorrow for a diagnostic. I know, it took a long time :(
I have advised what the problem is (not that i need to looking at the dash) but with hope that it will help them focus on the ABS.
I have asked for full detail...
Yeah, apart from the damage this is doing somewhere along the line from engine to bumper.....I think its a bit.....well......"Mong" was a good term. lol.
I don't see this as being any different to those flamer kits that full-on retards fit.
It has no purpose.
You might as well put a flashing...
Hi mucker, cheers for the reply.
I totally hear you and it's not that I am ignoring the advice I am being given, it is just down to funds currently (holiday season....eek) so as soon as I have the pennies I will drop it in to Reno and hopefully get a clear answer. I will be doing this before I...
My ABS issues, well.......it......just doesn't work at all.
Braking works absolutely fine. The only thing that doesn't is ABS and ESP.
All the rings are fine, the pipes are fine, the sensors look to be putting out the right values.....(i think)
It hasn't been on live data yet as tbh, I can't...
Ok, fair enough bud.
Any Northern Ireland people know of someone with CLIP/AutoLogic here then?
Not going to the Renault dealership as last time I got a diagnostic done there for a poor running Megane, they told me I needed a new ECU.
Turns out, they had left a plastic housing loose on the back...
Ok.....so I took it to an auto spark i know.........who threw it on a Snapon tool.
Spat out ABS Motor Communication Failure or something to that effect. Looks like the ABS pump or ECU then.
Quick question then. Hard job?

Hi, quickie....
Can anyone confirm or deny that clicking the "Run ABS Pump" or "bleed xx caliper" in the ABS module of the RSTuner should result in a noise.....or an abs fart.....or something?
