Battery in these keys will not effect the starting of the car. It will start the car with no battery in it.
Keys on this age of Clio are really common for failing key heads. Iv seen many where the spare key is also faulty.
I would get a new key on order ( you can get a key from Renault that...
Can I ask why you need to replace them? Iv never changed one on a Clio 2. Let alone two at the same time.
Are you sure your rear discs have got the reluctor ring fitted?
Means that they key is recognised by the uch but there is a problem With the ecu getting the code. More than likely down to it not being powered up or a multiplex wire broken in the wiring loom somewhere.
Common rail diesels don't need glow plugs to start. So you can rule them out straight away. I'd be looking at a diagnostics check paying special attention to fuel pressure.
May possibly be an injector leaking back too much fuel.
Just disconnect the speedo drive from the gearbox and take it for a spin (if you can). If the speedo still works, the pulse is picked up from the abs. If not, you need to find a gearbox with a speedo drive.
Iv never heard so much cobblers in my life! All your doing by doing that is activating the RAID function. Nothing to do with the immobiliser.
So you get in your car and try to start it? Does the starter motor turn over? Does the red led on e dash board go out, stay solid or flash rapidly?
From memory, that year of clio will have a throttle cable from the pedal to a potentiometer under the battery. Rather than an electronic throttle pedal.
Sill question but have you tried undoing the clamp, knocking the clamp down further onto the battery terminal with a hammer and screw driver (gently). Then doing back up again? That clamp is not slid over the post enough.
