It doesn't happen on every belt change but I've deffo had it on a few before.

I've known the new aux-belts to smell funny for a while after being replaced. Its a very strange smell; not burning rubber but rubber like.

Okay so it really needs the services of someone then with more diagnostic equipment than just a CLIP/Snap-On/Generic code reading equipment. There are literally tens of different reasons for a limp mode/reduced engine output scenario to occur. Hardware (pedal ad TB's) are common failures but...

That question must be rhetorical because i am sure you answered it yourself. If four places have looked at it and replaced parts, assuming of course its the same throttle related problem that they've failed to fix, why haven't you simply stuck with one and taken it back to them? Is it there...

I know (LoLz) I've not washed a car myself in over a year!

It could be but hard to say without hearing. It could be the aux belt idler to. Mick

Sounds like a faulty door position switch which is a simple enough fix. You just nee to find out which one is playing up. Mick

I'd call the place that did your belts and ask them to check it over. It sounds like an air leak to me.

It will work on the engine side only but will it be any good... No

I can't afford to give you the Clio and £600 mate. I'll live with dirty wheels for now

I'm not selling my kidneys to clean them... Bug and tar remover lol

LoL, is this a time limited offer or do you need to know now Simon?

If the PAS pump is to be changed then yes, I'm afraid it does but if its had a kit recently (or if the current idler is fine and the tensioner is still moving freely on its pivot point) i'd just put a new belt on which is around £14 new for a genuine item.

Maybe get it looked at properly?

Possibly a duff plug to... They do happen!

Mine does it... PAS is the cause on mine. Go full lock and give it some real force when it reaches the end of lock. If the pump gets mega noisy there's your problem. Mick

I gave it a quick wax today to... Turns out Pearl Black looks epic clean (OCD's are gonna go mental with this one): Just got to find a decent product for getting 9yrs of brake dust off the alloys now. This body doesn't do Lycra... It does do bacon sarnies though.

LoLz - fine with me ;-) Just got new gas bottles to burn with

Seconded
