Surely other people had similiar problems and maybe solved them so i can brainstorm, and there are also people which know french electronic systems very well. I can check continuity on every singe wire on the car, but if i don't know what i'm looking for its hard. I'm just looking for someone...

Checked the uch diag, but don't seem like it has anything to do with the temp gauge. Last couple days it gives me starting nightmares, seems like it unlocks itself after some hours, and then when i turn the key it doesn't even turn over for a couple times. Takes a good while of fiddling with...

Nope. Croatia, and unfortunately no good Renault specialists around here. I don't think the uch has anything to do with coolant temp, but will check.

I've checked the big plug, seems fine. Had another UCH in as i wrote earlier, however not much worked since it was an n2 not a hg? Could this ALL be uch related?

Ph2 172 Changed the wires from sensor to ecu also. Yeah already checked the white plug

Checked every possible earthing point when i got the gearbox out for the famous circlip, also added an additional beefy one from chassis to engine just to avoid future issues.

Hello! I've already posted a couple of threads for this, and also used the search function extensively, but it seems I can't get a solution to this, and I'm slowly going mad. -Temperature gauge is ALWAYS(ish) at 0, since i've bought the car a year and a half ago. Tried 4 sensors both new and...

Hello folks, Quick one: How likely is the ac compressor to fail internally? Having some weird noises from it when turning on, can't build too much pressure either, and i'm seeing the clutch slipping very hard, like it's easy to see it turning much slower than the rest of the pulleys. Ac...

Some nice suggestions right there, thanks! I've already changed both crank position and all four injectors but a spare one doesnt hurt 🤣

Hello guys, Since i've started doing some longer trips with my 172, i was looking at putting together a box with some tools to help on the roadside. I'm looking for ideas what tools are a must have for the clio i.e what bolts etx would be the most common? For now i just have a tire repair kit...

This is the cup and diff condition, it spins very good inside, just concerned about the acoeing in the diff. Its not as bad as the pic makes it, i can barely feel it. Finding another diff is basically impossible where i live, so i really hope someone confirms this is good.

I've dismantled the gearbox completely today and gave everything a good wash and check. Gearset looks fine, the differential on the side of the clip was stuck, i dismantled the diff too and it now spins good, it looks like it has a slight edge to it right where the clip retains it. I was...

So its just a matter of the shaft popping? I might just buy a new circlip because the shipping time to Croatia might be too long, and i'm left with no car now

Hello guys, Some days ago i've heard a lound bang under the gear lever. I could drive for a bit but mostly straight, when i turned the steering wheel just a little bit the whole engine started banging, and steering wheel wanted to go back to straight. Which led me to believe some problems with...

Thanks for the idea. I can swap the code from my ecu to another one, i have already swapped uch for some gremlins, but finding an ecu to do so is proving hard

I'm Croatia based and there are no real Renault sport professionals here lol Also, finding a used ECU here is like seeing an unicorn in the city center

Begging for solutions at this point. Car working fine, but im pretty sure on a cold map since it somewhat stinks fuely, three sensors and ecu wirest changed still nothing solved it. Gauge stays at 0, diag gives -40 all the time. Changed sensor, thermostat, could that be an ecu problem? Can't...

Hello. Having some issue with a misfire that started suddenly after the car sitting for a few days. Injector 1 (closest to gearbox) was shot, when unplugged it made no difference, so i assumed its that and ordered a new one ( already changed the other 3 a couple months ago) After putting a new...

I've also changed the wires from the ecu to the sensor, no luck there. Last couple days the temp is staying on low all the time, and car is running like crap, and getting mpg like theres a V12 in front

No corrosion there, also frenquently checked and sprayed with contact cleaner. I've fitted the same one that was on the car, and its a bosch unit. However, ive changed it a couple of months ago, it has been fine since then. I suspect the petrol that was pouring in the exhaust might have caused...

Changed coilpack, temp sender, injector 1 and 3. Little to no change

Hello. my car is acting very weird and its very annoying. It takes 10 minutes of cranking to start it when it doesn't work, very fuely smell, and misfiring horrendously, while not displaying the right temp, the gauge drops to zero. When the temp gauge chooses to display right( jumping from 0 to...

Its a Clio 172 ph2. I don't have clip unfortunately, nor do I know someone that has it.

Hello. I have a problem where the car sometimes won't start. I turn the key to start it, and nothing happens, then i back the key and start it again, and then it starts fine. Sometimes, if it takes more that 4 key turns to start, the immo kicks in and it cuts off after cranking for a couple of...

I've checked and added about a liter of oil. It seems its doing the same. I've probably fucked the 5th syncros didn't I?

Hello. All of a sudden my 172 ph2 started having problems with 5th gear. Gear engages normally, but when throttle is applied the gearstick moves back a lot ( only in 5th) and the 5th disengages with a slight crunch. Anyone had any problems with 5th gear syncros? Or should i be looking at the...

Hello, it's me again. Front wipers work only when i pull the stalk to wash the windscreen, doesn't work when selecting the 4 clicks. I've swapped the stalks completely because the clock spring nuked itself, and it didn't fix the problem. Is this just a french car being weird as always?

Hello. I'm having some problems again, a bit of a weird one. It can work fine for a couple of days, then not at all. it will crank for a couple secs when it decides to not work, but the cut out. Sometimes, i turn it over a couple more times and it starts right up, sometimes id cranks for two...

Why can't i find it? I'Ve already checked for continuity, wires go straight to ecu.

Hello guys. Can't seem to find my thread anymore, so i'll post it again. Temp gauge stays low, fans are always on, even 2 mins after turning it off. Temp on diag shows -40. Changed temp sender, same result.
