Doesn't sound like Crank Position Sensor to me if its smelling rich as that normally means it is fuelling and to do that the ECM needs to see a trigger pattern (Which is derived from the CPS). More likely to be an H02 and CTS issue but a decent session with diagnostics will confirm or deny and...
Really and these were 100% new Pierberg/Renault EGR valve and position sensor assemblies? Glad its sorted but an EGR should last longer then 2yrs.

It sounds very much like a wiring issue then chap. If you decide you'd like to bring it in then drop me a line via my website as I can't always get on here in the daytime.
Just be sure its bled up correctly... failure to do so can have varying results which include no hot air from the heater, annoying/bouncing temp gauge or even, in worst cases, head gasket failure.

Disconnect them from the over all system then yep, water in each system "In" until it runs clear then reverse flush it via the "out"
Discconect Rad from the cylinder head and the same with the matrix flow and returns
A single 5l bottle is normally enough for a good flush and refill on a Clio II.
Flush the Rad, Flush the Head and Flush the heater matrix before refilling or else your nice green coolant will go brown after a few miles.
Also it won't be long before its bloody freezing outside!
Always better to make sure your anti-freeze is at the correct strength now rather than later as siezed water pumps aren't funny. Okay, its not so much of an issue on the Clio II with the F4R fitted because the water pump isn't timing...
What code reader did you use to obtain these as i've heard of a few "Cheaper" units throw "Low Pressure" descriptions before with no actual codes and as the D4F has no way of measuring cylinder pressures I can only assume its a translation issue.
"Cylinder 1 Command fault" - Again, a possible...
I always price to replace them though as my prices are pretty much based on engine platform rather than vehicle and on a 30-40k vehicle the water pump should be fine and so its owners choice to have it replaced or not (though for the cost vs piece of mind I still try to press for a new unit...
Water Pump to on that lump... again, piece of piss to do especially with the engine out. Shouldn't take you any more than half an hour. If you need help identifying the timing marks or finding the lock points give me a shout as the D7F cam sprocket has a couple of marks oftern confused as being...
Ash, yes my price also includes for a waterpump but on a Clio III it may not need it (as above) and in that case it becomes cheaper by -£56. Does include the Aux Belt kit though

Arse end up in the air and wheels off. Handbrake off and someone in the car working the pedal - Do the pistons work correctly and let off? If they do are the pads free to slide or are they stuck? (If they're stuck there's the issue). If the piston isn't going back far enough then you'll need to...
Yes, its fairly easy... I'm sure there's a guide to this in the members area so might be worth you joining up as it's only £12 a year and there's loads of usefull DIY stuff in there.
Deffo keep with Renault Type-D coolants. Simple to use, its at the right mix strength and did I mention its...
To be fair though *some* garages do take the piss but then if you see what they're driving its obvious how they pay for em.
The flip side to that coin is that sometimes though "Joe Public" wants the world for nothing and as above, we to have mortgages to pay, kids to feed and buy for, etc. I...
