Clio RS Sport
Hi
I have just acquired a 2010 Renault Clio Sport RS 200 with 34000 miles on the clock and as far as I can tell is bog standard with no modifications. I generally only do about 5-6 miles a day commuting to work. The problem I have got, is that the car coughs and splutters and goes down the road like a kangaroo, usually when changing from 2nd to 3rd but does do it in other gears but other times it's fine. It does it most days, but has been known to have a good day when it runs perfectly. It will do the fault in other gears but seems more common when changing to 3rd gear. There is no warning lights on the dashboard or anything to indicate a problem. If you chase it, it doesn't seem to do it either, just when driving normally, as usually get stuck behind slow moving traffic. Have had the spark plugs out and they seem fine. Have also tied down the MAP sensor as described by various other forums but this doesn't seemed to made any difference. There's a popping noise from the exhaust as well, not sure if this is normal.
Anybody got any thoughts?
