cutting out! electronic fault and preheating warning light!

[NathJ]

had a few problems a day or so ago! with oil etc!
engine cutting out at 3500rpm, oil level topped up and running fine!

tested it out on a quiet road where i could put my foot down and had no problems what so ever!

but ....


driving home from the gf s this morning to find the same problem!
driving sensably for about 20 miles or so .. someone crawling infront so over took changed down to third and at 5000rpm or so its cut out! :S how can it change from 3500 to 5000??

i mean otherwise it runs perfect no horrible noises, no oil leaks etc ..

phoned renault up soon as i got home and tbh they had no idea! spoke to 2 people and niether had a clue what it was! they said they have never had this problem before in the 'however many years theyve been working there for'


someone suggested coilpack or something yesterday? what is this exacly and what does it do? located where on a 1.2 16v??




plus , sorry to have seemed rude on the 'NO OIL' thread was justed abit pissed off! problem after problem with this car!



Thanks


Nathan

Isnt it a new car and under warranty?!

 

[NathJ]

its 51 plate ! not under warranty! use it everyday tbh! do a fair bit of millage too so really need it sorting! but with this credit crunch thing going on at the moment theres no jobs going in what i do so theres no money coming in for me to fix it!

check the metal box on the back of the engines hasn't rubbed through the wiring loom as it will be shorting out some of the bundle of wires that run from the ecu.
