Take it back with your receipt firmly in hand and demand another then - sometimes you can skimp and buy cheaper parts for these cars but ignition coils aren't one of them i'm afraid and they always come back to bite you in t'arse. Deffo check the plug wells aren't swimming in oil or water though...

it won't cause death and destruction but it will eventually cause poor MPG and missfires... just don't buy them from Renault direct because they're something daft like £18 each!

No, there's no tech sheet showing fully detailed and dimensioned schematics or views of every individual part that makes up the engine. That kind of detailed information is going to be useless to the dealer networks so no need to distribute it.

Bad earth from the battery to the bodywork I'd guess. Mick

Could be if it was a cheap or second hand unit i'm afraid Drew. Did you check the leads and plugwells for signs of issues/fluid ingress? Mick

Nope afraid not - proberbly because Renault doesn't make any of the sensors.

Ordinarily there's nothing wrong with them but the F4R is a strange engine and seems to dislike anything but the NGK's

First thing to do then is remove the Parrot and see if it cures the problem. If not time for help i'm afraid as you've possibly blown something... though I'm sure it'll be a fuse.

Firstly, have you checked all fuses in the fuse box? Secondly, the Parrots are 'plug-n-play' via the ISO connectors of your cars stereo so my next question is what "Extra" work have you done? Mick

#knowsit I wish people would stop posting images of really nice, standard RB 182's as I'm desperate for one but the wife has my balls under lock and key and has said i'm not allowed one and need to be happy with my 19 :( Change those plugs out though matey, seriously - really nice looking RB...

No such tech book exists i'm afraid.

Re: erratic idle revs and Coil warning light after removing and cleaning throttle bod You've not plugged something back in and the K4J doesn't have Air Pressure or MAF Sensors... most likely you unplugged the Throttle Position Sensor, Air Temp, MAP Sensor & Idle Air Control Valve so check all...

Not on a Clio RS no but i've seen an F4R HGF before on a Scenic... was age related gasket failure.

What colour is the oil black, dark brown or light gold and have a look at the oil filter? If its been serviced recently it *should* still be fairly clean and if its not they're dealt you the bulls**t card i'm afraid. TBH though a "Service" is a very broad term and can mean anything from an oil...

Nope, timing belts on the DxF units - that's deffo a D7F 1.2 8v and deffo sounds like timing belt failure... wounded. Stick a new belt on your replacement engine (they cost like £13 for a belt or £34 for the complete kit) and its an easy DIY job

£320 - I'm in Nottingham http://www.diamondmotors.net/diamond-motors-welcome/timing-belts Mick

Pictures? Could just need a good service/flush of the coolant system tbh. Are there any other symptoms that make you suspect HGF? If you had any water in the oil it would emulsify not "thin" it down... same with the coolant resevoir.

I don't have any Clio II's in the workshop this weekend to check against Scott but the motor doesn't appear to be sitting right to me. For one they're not central in the scuttle planel covers but I odn't know if this is right or not. How much "play" are we saying here to? There's bound to be a...

Right, the assembly is either missing a spacer OR its not sat square on the body. Unbolt it and check.

The government doesn't want you on the road anymore, didn't you get the memo? Vic, get your car to someone with a CLIP and most of that can be reolved for under £100. The biggest change with the new rules is the compulsory testing of SRS circuits but also all MIL's being checked for correct...

It will need TIG welding if you try but agree, a bracket *could* help resolve the issue if it rules out movement and ensures the correct positioning.

I do them for £380 all done so am cheaper :p

In reality mate, what with petrol costing what it does I think more people will be driving 1.2's this time next year. Some say now the Libya 'thing' is over fuel prices will fall but they're blatently in denial. £2 a litre this time next year! Stick with the engine you've got and enjoy the car...

I've got a Clio III 1.2TCe on my drive for my better half - very nippy and fun but as above, for the price of the parts it wouldn't be worth it. Even if you managed to find a crash damaged vehicle I'd put in a cavalier guess at around £2.5-3k and for what 100PS :lol: We only paid £7600 for our...

Where's your "area" mate? Any garage/trader that say's its a finance repossesion is probebrly saying that as they've got no history for the vehicle... assume it needs to be done. Mick

Black tape, de-soldering, etc all dodgy trade tricks that will not work from January Vicky as ABS/TCS/ESP/SRS/EM lights must all (where equipment is fitted) be observed to come on at pre-ignition check and then go off and stay off post-ignition. If you have airbags installed in the car and the...

I don't know... maybe you've answered your own question though as to why its not working now in that its something you've not done when you've changed the engine again?

It may not be moving when the car is running and standing but when its moving, say you hit a bump, it could force it to vibrate and so move. Like throttle position sensors any kind of abnormal movement in the mounting or assembly effects the output signal and so causes running issues which is...

Pic?

Dave, very good point and normally i'd agree but as per the OP he's already done a couple of coil packs with no difference... deffo needs scoping at this point.
