Didn’t try the main lights but hazards did not work so I guess no, no power to heaters, radio etc.
El cheapo Code checker wasn’t receiving any power either.
Not having much luck atm.
Clio 182 key in the ignition dash does nothing, the only sign of life is the led next to the gear stick is illuminated.
I’ve hooked it up with jump leads to no avail.
Swapped out a few fuses no visible signs of any damage.
Ideas?
Ok to update this, figured out its not getting fuel if I prime it by hand it starts and runs fine.
Since it runs fine once its going I assume the high pressure pump running off the engine is working fine and problem lies with the sender unit in the tank if it has one?
1.9 dci engine.
Engine will start first time run for a few seconds then cuts out.
Eventually it will restart but needs turning over quite a few times to get going.
Also the ignition stays on even if you remove the key before it restarts which is weird.
I’ve checked the injectors and they seem...
As long as it’s synthetic it will be fine, if memory serves its 3.1 litres but you can get away with 3L.
It’s easy to change just drop the old oil like doing the sump then refill from the plastic butterfly on the front of the box.
Have some pipe and a funnel handy makes the job a lot easier...
Trouble with 3D printing is its very time consuming.
The material/energy costs for one of those racks would be roughly £10-15 for example but soon as you factor in any labour money for keeping the printer going for 40 hours it becomes expensive.
If loius can do it for the cost of filament definatly go with that.
If you draw a blank I do have a printer but it would be more costly and time consuming as its only a basc fdm one.
Got a trafic van 1.9 diesel, I assume it’s a similar if not the same engine in most renaults
Recently when it’s cold if I brake at a junction it drops the revs to 0 and almost stalls.
Only happens when the brake pedal is pressed which is strange.
Any ideas?
More likely to need a new shock or spring depending on the mileage/age.
Take the wheel off and have a look will be the fastest way to diagnose the problem.
