Clio DCi

Does anyone have any info on these (i.e problems, faults etc to look out for) as going to look at one this weekend plus a few more.
It's the mk2 facelift clio if that is any help too

Everything is really easy and cheap to fix. Just look for air in the fuel line returning to the fuel filter. It could be early signs of injector failure which can be pricey.
Other than that I can't think of much which can't be sorted for under £50.

Thanks for that. Been a viewed it and seems ok for money. Just one question though is that the glow plugs have recently been changed but the ignition coil light is illuminated whilst still driving. Any ideas anyone?

I generally find if its got a light on pointing towards the fuel system walk away and find another, theres plenty out there.

It's not on fuel system though as it's the ignition coil light that should go out after starting. It's only the heating of glow plugs to help start light not the actual fuel system

this is the same light that comes on when the fuel pump is on its way out and cant hold the correct pressure.

Sorry didn't realise this is the same light as engine management. Before I make a decision I'll get him to get diagnostic on it to find fault code and see what it is

Spoke to owner and he said it been on ever since changing glow plugs?? Could this be correct that it needs resetting??

could be some sort of wiring fault, if you are set on the car just make sure there is absolutely no loss of power under load, try 4th gear a 2000rpm to 4500rpm pull
