The exhaust on my 1.2 16v (mk2ph1) has been rattling lately, wsnt really blowing but my Dad could here a faint blow. So during my lunch hour yesterday I took it down to SMS in Stirling to get checked. Up on the ramps, dodgy clamp between the cat and mid section pipe was to blame so they took it off, put some sealant on it and fitted a new clamp all for free.
As soon as I started up and reversed off the ramp the engine stalled, thought it was just me so started again and got off the ramp... engine cuts out again. This time I notice the electronics warning light is on and I cant get it to idle for 5 seconds without cutting out after a slight fluctuation in the revs between 500-1500rpm.
He put it back on the ramp and put it up again to make sure all was ok, I had watched him first time and he didnt touch anything else apart from the exhaust, the lambna (sp?) sensor was connected (he didnt disconnect it originally) and couldnt think of anything else. He advised I take it up to Renault.
So I gave it some revs to get it going and after I left the car park it was all ok, light went off and hasnt missed a beat since.
Anyone know what happened?
Thanks
