i've got a y reg 1.6.16v clio. this is missing too, i've bought 2 pencil coils (as its all the supplier had) and i've tried these coils in each pot and the misfire hasn't moved. i'm gonna put new spark plugs in 2moro to see if that shifts it. i had the same problem 2 years ago when i had a...
this happened to my friend the other day on his 172 and i found the fault because i caused it to happen on my 1.6 clio. there is a smallish black pip connected to the top of the engine to the right of the inlet manifold. this pipe is easily knocked without realisin you've knocked it. if it comes...
you got any pics? just want to no how big the chip is. not that i'm too bothered as long as i get one. i no one lad on ere has offered me his for £20 and its immaculate condition. if ya can, send/post some pics and think of a price and we'll go from there.
cheers dude!
rite,
i got my motor back this mornin and it runs like a dream!!!!! the engine feels brand new! car feels really solid. they even CLEANED IT!!!!!!!!!
they did tell me that my near side drop link has snapped.....:(
but, its easily sorted.
plus, a friend of mine rang me today and offered me a...
does anyone know how much it will cost for a new engine cover? the silver one on top of the intake manifold that has 'renault' and (in my case) 1.6 16valve printed on it? you know which one i mean? i wud advertise on ere for someone to sell me one but i haven't got round to becomin a full member...
why not use silvertech bulbs? the chrome bulbs. they will match the reflectors in the light housing. i use them in my front indicators, they look pretty cool. no 'egg yoke' when they flash! you now which ones i mean? they are about £15 form halfrauds but they will be cheaper on ebay.:cool:
if ya want to know the full list of problems i would be here all night typin it up. but put it this way, i got 3 pages (A4 size) of problems. some body probs, some electrical and some mechanical. some are stupid probs like; rear fog light flashing when i select the right indicator and it also...
i know this is only for clio's so my apologies. i just had to put my mates GRANDAD'S scenic on ere....... yes my mates GRANDAD'S......... he's 62!!!!!! and he got this done! how cool? let me know what you think??

i just handed them the list and they just cracked on. they rang me this mornin and said the warranty company wont cover anything else on the list apart from a wheel bearing and ONE coil!!!!!! so obviously i went buck-wild on the phone wit the garage and the finance company who have since told me...
rite, here we go.......
i took my motor into renault this morning with a list of problems written on a bog role. they told me half of them would'nt be covered by the warranty to which i replied "your f***ing jokin!?" :mad:
i managed to sweet talk them into doin a few extra jobs under...
as far as i know there is no extension kits (i may be wrong) but its easy enough to extend them ya self. as long as ya 'label ya cable' ya cant go wrong. are you extending the 'dash clock' wires too? or just the standard stereo wiring? i.e. just power and speakers (no satelite controls
, clock...
already replaced one of my coils (the obvious mistake instead of replacin 2 or all 4) and i've already changed my plugs.
had to pull my dash out today to remove stereo so vardys wont moan about it (obvious warranty reasons)!!:( the exhaust comes off 2moro and the standard one goes back...
does anyone know of a possible replacement or something else that will do the job of the ignition coils??? as they cost a fortune when they blow! and ya got to replace them all!!!
i'm looking for something that will do the same job but isnt as expensive to buy/fit.
does anyone know if you...
i got the same poblem with my 1.6 16v y plate. accelerate slowly and its not bad, really slow, but not bad. put ya foot down and ya engine sounds like a tank with no acceleration, just a horrible judder. i know these coils aint cheap either. renault told me £40 each but i no euro car parts do...
Re: ffs!!!!! clio mis-fire......i think?!!
the 76 quid is before they do any work to the car. i can get it tested down the road for 25 but i no vardys will test it anyway. just more expence.
how does it damage ya cat? the cat is covered by the warranty so it should'nt be a worry. HOPEFULLY!!!!!!!!
Re: ffs!!!!! clio mis-fire......i think?!!
i didn't realise they had to be changed all at once until one of the guys on here told me. i've managed to get the car booked in for monday morning to get sorted but i'm not sure if the coils are covered buy reg vardys auto protect warranty. they told...
Re: ffs!!!!! clio mis-fire......i think?!!
nope! never. i'm always checking the levels on the car. i had a feeling it could have been a valve stem oil seal, head gasket or maybe oil control seal on a piston. but the biggest suggestion is the coils. thats my main guess. if the gasket had gone...
"youre getting a realy good deal sir!"
"we are very trust worthy" (as my motor was getting repaired)
that was enough for me, i hit the floor rolling with laughter!!
"you'll have to take it benfield renault as we dont know what is wrong with it"
same repair as the last!
these are only a...
Re: ffs!!!!! clio mis-fire......i think?!!
just been outside to check my leads and found two that have been cut and soldered back together. not a good job either but they're connected and insulated. i had a feelin another coil had gone but i'd rather ask for an opinion. it just seems i've got...
