Few problems

[Kchristmas]

My mates has a 1.2 clio which the temperature gauge always sits at the bottom and the fans always running? And also the car cuts out under any acceleration and struggles on start up cutts out again.

Any ideas?

Tried changing the CTS?

Ill swap it with mine and see if it cures it. Does the coolant system have to be drained ?

Nah, you may loose a little dependimg how quick you swap them over. Just top it back up.

Havent looked where it is on the clio but this was the exact issue with my mrs mini. Was telling the ecu one thing but reading another. So got confused. Turns fan on and cuts the engine off.

Any idea what engine it is? D4F? Or D7F?

It's on the bottom of the engine block and I'm not sure but it's a 2002 1.2 16v. The car has a warranty from the garage he bought it from so it's now been towed back to them! Thanks anyway
