What sort of starter motor does the 1.6 litre 16 V petrol motor in our 2005 aprox Clio Privilege have please? Reconditioners in this country quote either 01 - 02 , 2 Litre described as 1.2 kw 10 teeth or 02 - 03 1.4L described as 1.0 kw 9 teeth Am hoping that it is one of these?

My starter solenoid is sticking, do I need to replace the starter motor as well?

Thanks Popes, I have checked out the immobilizer light (and read about it in the handbook) as you suggested and found it working correctly. The problem has escalated from occasional to continuous - it now wont start (except by bumping ...). There is no sound whatsoever from the starter. I...

Thanks Popes for your suggestion. Unfortunately I don't have access to a diagnostic box or drawings ... but I take the point that it would be wise to plug one in before going to a load of expense and time in another direction. Though the way this problem developed (as an intermittent fault...

I am not familiar with the description Clio 3 or Clio 2. How can I tell the difference? This is our second Clio, both 4 door manuals. The first one was a 1.4L Campus, this one has the same body but a number of extra features (climate control air, cruise and speed control, even a rain sensing...

Any tips about the job for whoever takes the starter out? Presume it is done from underneath? Can it be done at home or does it need special tools? What else has to be removed to get at it? Do we need extra parts to complete the job? Like maybe exhaust or manifold gaskets?

Thanks Cup_Phil, The problem has escalated today, from an occasional problem to continuous. I am convinced that the solenoid sticking is the issue, thanks everyone for helping to identify that. Now we face the issue of getting it fixed. We are in country Tasmania, island State of Australia...

I've looked for the solenoid under the bonnet and can't find it ? Do I need to remove something to get at it or do I need to jack the car and get to it from underneath ? Thanks.

So if/when it happens next I could wack the solenoid first (before bump starting)? and if it starts with the key after the wack that would prove that the solenoid is the problem? next question: where the *&^%$ is the solenoid ? probably I can find it by following the heaviest +ve cable from...

I have checked the two earth straps from the battery. The one to the body is like new and tight both ends, the other to the gearbox is dirty at the bottom but seems in good nick and bolted on tight - also I have checked for sparks whilst cranking (none). Mostly it is starting perfectly (no...

Thanks Jonny1*2 for such a quick reply. What do you reckon is sticking or on the way out? Starter motor or solenoid? I have had similar issues with other vehicles in the past and sometimes a sharp tap would get it going (a few more times). Is it possible to use that test on the Clio? This...

We have a 2006 Clio Privilege manual petrol which has done 84,000 kms with no trouble. However, twice now a couple of days apart it has refused to start. Turned the key, all of the dashboard indicator lights came on, turned further to start - nothing. It has a new battery, lights are working...

Thank you very much everybody ! It's fixed !!! Problem was that a 5 cent piece had been accidentally dropped into the cigarette lighter socket (which is used occasionally for an FM connection for an IPOD). Looks like the coin has shorted the cigarette lighter and blown the fuse. We figured...

If I pull out the fuse to check it, will I have to re-set the code ?

A couple of strange things are happening with our Clio (2005 Privilege). First I noticed that when I went to start the car the display with the temperature and clock didn't come on. Now we've also discovered that the radio and CD turns itself off after about 20 minutes. It gives a beep and...
