What have they done to suggest an ECM failure?

the switch is needed im afraid. remove it and the lamp will remain on all the time unless you ground it out. chances are its just the switch again but not all low oil pressure faults result in tapping or ticking noises.

Afraid not... its one less thing for people to fight over and abuse.

Thats because a Focus, obviously, isnt a Clio. The way all vehicles send information around the internal networks is very different even when you say compare an '03 Ford Focus to an '06 Mondeo. Software updates, network and infrastructure design mean that these generic bits of kit are generally...

Diagnostics mate... you really do need them Mick

sounds like a minor leak somewhere on the inlet track allowing air in. How does it idle? Mick

Sounds H02 related so concur - obviously live data will confirm/deny though.

It will be to do with how the Software/ELM interface reads and interpruts the data stream... this is why they say the software is not for commercial use but its proberbly handy to have.

Not quite that simple i'm afraid as the "bulb" is an SMD so not something you can easily change. Firstly carry out a bulb test by putting the clockset into test mode. If it lights up the fault is with the ABS system or the cars wiring so needs to be checked. If however the bulb doesnt light up...

He's not wrong.... watching him work is like watching a r****d f**k a doornob!

Left is for the dephaser/vvc solenoid on the top cover as Fred pointed out above. Mick

Mate, i'm face+palm'n... how have you managed to not rip out someones spine yet like the Predator? Obviously your sense of humor is better than mine.

Oh dear :s Nope, that doesnt mean much either im afraid unless its some crazy hex-code but i cant run that search from here (playbook) as i need my desktop PC. Other than the lights what symptoms does the car have, if any? Mick

Im in Nottingham... just want to pop it on the scope and see what the crank position sensor is doing to make it pop that code if the trigger pattern is right. Could be a money maker thats all lol

Personally i'd suggest you get a second opinion cos these things rarely end up being the components like the ECM and turn out to be wiring or CAN-Bus issues. Proper diagnostics are the key to cracking these issues and i've fixed my fair share of Clio II's that refuse to start with so called imob...

Done by who and with what equipment as that code is neither generic or renault specific i'm afraid. More info required matey Mick

I'd love to get my hands on one to find out why... anyone with one care to come in for free?

Oh i promise you they will still deploy! Everything bar the faulty component or trigger line. The problem is the system isnt inspected or serviced... that will change now as from Jan '12 the SRS is now subject to MOT testing. Most people aren't aware that the SRS triggered components are...

personally i'd leave it standard and spend the money on yourself.

What flywheel are they using to convert from? My current K4M unit in my Scenic was originally DMF and i converted that without any issue (I know parts are a little more available). A faulty DMF can cause damage to things such as starter motor, clutch and slave assembly and the gearbox itself.

Deffo DMF issue then - worst things ever as customers think i'm on the make when I tell them how much they are and that they need it. Sympathies but what issues are people having fitting an SMF?

I've never done this... with me its always forgetting to reconnect the bloody clutch cable back up. The one thing i asked Luke/Boosh to do was make sure i did it and he failed to tell me of my fail when he came in for a full service and check up.

Are you sure that wasn't ASR on a BMW? Thats what zee germans tend to deploy as "traction control" which cuts engine power/torque to stop you over powering and spinning up the wheels. ESP doesnt control traction, thats the ASR/TC's job... on *most* vehicles ESP is nothing but an electronic...

The noise goes totally or is it just masked by the engine noise? Any issues selecting cogs?

it could also be something else to but by all means try this first... i've had two clio II SRS issues due to side crash sensors today alone.

doh! School boy error

I cant seem to get any of those videos to play. Anyone else have any joy?

i'm free (at the minute) Friday this week and next week isn't too bad at the minute.

No IACV on these, the throttle body is stepper controlled... similar principal though except idle condition is set/controlled by the ECM. As above, could indeed just need a clean but its the random factor that makes me think otherwise. Mick
