Just some feedback in case anyone thinks they have a similar problem / code indicated.
Something totally unrelated to fuel pressure. I discovered a leak from my power steering pressure switch which I replaced easily and reset the error code.
I did this before Christmas and here we are three...
Does anyone know the supply pressure of the standard fuel pressure regulator for the 182.
They appear to come in 3.0, 3.5, 4.5 bar settings !
Just anticipating replacing as a matter of course once out.
Just completed around 300 miles since cleaning all connectors and clearing the emission light and it just came back on again :-(
Looks like fuel pump and reg are coming out for testing to start with !!
No probs, there's no hurry. Not sure wether to congratulate or commiserate :-)
I hope you have a passion for them, it usually helps. They are French, so I'm expecting a few trials over time.
Hi Bloke
I've read further into remedies for the emission light and it appears connectors can play a big part in these issues. I have disconnected and cleaned every connection in the fuse/relay blocks plus all others accesible in the engine bay. I understand why they can cause problems as some...
Oh I see, I wouldn't have thought of that. Would certainly appreciate knowing if that code output is not possible. Only bought the scanner because K-tech said it works on Renaults where many others don't
From what I have been researching P0003 could be caused by: fuel reg / fuel pump / connections etc.
I presume Renault would change these systematically and hope they find the fault, presumably charging for whatever they replace faulty or not :-)
Thanks again, I had no idea what these things cost but that doesn't seem too expensive.
The clio has just done 74,000 miles so it is likely to start needing some diagnostics
I have a cheap/simple u480 which read the low fuel pressure code but I will invest in something better if I get other...
Hi Bloke, thanks for correcting me. You are right that is a misfire code. Please forgive my number dyslexia 😌 should have read P0003 fuel volume regulator control circuit low.
There was also an n/a code that obviously can't be read by my cheap scanner, but I had just replaced the pre cat...
Thanks james I will assume not a simple job when I start.
Not essential to do it right away as starting fine but I suspect it will slowly degrade so will strip and check/replace
Just seen the reply button 😊
Hi Coops, thanks for info, It makes sense, that sensor is monitoring the cams considering its proximity on the head.
I will check to see how to get into the fuel tank once it has emptied a bit.
Thanks RTC I haven't even seen that component on my fuel rail :neutral:
Reading Coops reply I think it might be closer to the mark, I will investigate further.
Hi, I'm new to forum as just bought my wife a 2004 Clio 182. Bought private and drove for around 100 miles before emission light came up.
Checked the codes and found P03000 referencing a low fuel pressure issue. Suspect after reading through many threads on here that the fuel pressure regulator...
