So I did the above, I went ahead and swapped the TCU this afternoon. Really easy job to do tbf. and then it went for bad (though fine for 150miles) to worse. Though the car initially showed no faults, as soon as I started to drive I noticed it showed D (for drive) instead of the actual...

what an awesome noise it makes

hmm. I may just carry on and swap out the TCU then.

Good point, and on top of that I have had no undertray on since working on it so cooler again 🤔

120 miles covered with no faults ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️

40 miles covered... no issue, pretty annoying actually as I like to see or know the fix and I dont like driving constantly in fear of it breaking down. In other news, both the TCU and capacitors arrived today. Ready to swap out if/when the fault comes back. Comes with the replacement seals too...

oosh that is a whole slew of issues! fingers crossed for you. I gave my relays a cursory look over after seeing a pic of a burnt one (yours I think)

We at TurboRenault have booked a pap for the day (y)

So carried on with some investigation. I've swapped around the 2 external actuators. Will now keep driving until it faults again. If it does and it moves to a different position (135 to 246) happy days, it identifies it as one of them. If not I'll carry on down the tcu fix/replacement route.

TCU ordered, and have seen they offer the clutch packs for the Ford variant, wonder if they do a Clio specific one too. What funny is they look like the LUK clutches including the packaging, but you get it "unbranded". for a small fee they will box and brand them as whatever you want lol.

Great I'll take a look tomorrow

Ooo really? How?

Battery replaced battery current sensor replaced Still no change. Had a disconnect of some wiring looms and cleaned them off, could see anything wrong with a light browse. Kicked its head on for a while and just as I was heading home it went into limp mode again. The search continues but I'm...

At the rate my cars playing up and costing me I'll be bringing the mobile chicane that is the 57 year old Renault 8 🤣 😭

Indeed found similar hen looking, for ref the oem items are made by Epcos 40v 2200uf b41694s5228

Since the show (though I hoped it would be here before hand) I've added a new mascot, Its supposed to be a play on "Mr Horsepower" let me introduce you to Monsieur Cheval Vapeur

Some of the high res photos from RRW are coming through. They make it look better than real life!

I've managed to track down the original capacitors from the tcu so have ordered a few just incase The oem items are made by Epcos 40v 2200uf b41694s5228

good shout

Well I made it back. Whole slew of new fault codes stored. I've ordered the voltage regulator from rpd so that's the next thing in the parts cannon. Output when loaded looks OK and sits at 14.4 with the lights on. Cleared all the codes and went to drive it... got stuck in the middle of my...

So.... I've driven the car to London this morning 🤦🏻‍♂️ 3 times it did it, i think I've figured if you ask it to shift quickly it does it. But light throttle and slow changes it's seemingly OK.... It did also, on 5 occasions hit me with a quick flash of the stop for a charging issue. So...

So.... I've driven the car to London this morning 🤦🏻‍♂️ 3 times it had the gearbox issue, i think I've figured if you ask it to shift quickly it does it and faults. But light throttle and slow changes it's seemingly OK.... It did also, on 5 occasions hit me with a quick flash of the stop for a...

Awesome @GtirHil do you remember or have a link for the capacitor you bought? I can find 2200uf axial capacitors just need to to know the peak voltage. But a link to the one you have would be great 👌🏻

And to confirm, that was the original tcm with new steppers and capacitor? Or have I read that wrong?

@ClioRS200T still going well?

then to top it off, ive been out and kicked its head in and cant replicate the fault, intermittent faults are the worst!

I've been a big advocate of these clios and their gearboxs, how well i think they work when bimbling to work or going hard on track... That was until this week. Had a dreaded check gearbox error twice one morning, with one of them requiring a restart to get out of limp mode. Id been expecting...

Had a lovely drive out to Goodwood this weekend for the Retro Rides Weekender. The car was displayed in the "French Connection" area along with some other lovely machinery. The show was great and defo one of the best in the year for me. The car was nearly faultless on its 300mile round trip...
