Not sure about the new clios but on the older ones there on the drivers side of the car just infront of the rear wheel next to the fuel tank.

 

[CraigM]

I think its under the car at the front of the fuel tank.

just replied to your other post,wheres it gone?

 

[shandyruss]

its under the car, below the rear seats. its a in line fuel filter. have to jack the car up. job takes 5 mins.

 

[JAY172]

some of the newer models have a lifetime filter incorparated in the sender unit.if it has a changeable one it will be clipped to the underside of the tank at the front.

LMAO!!!

Well After my hunt for my fuel filter i have coem to the conclusion renualt do NOT know how they even build their own cars!

Ive been tracing mine since i got mmy car .

SOME have a filter which can be replaced if so it will be by the fuel tank just after the rear wheels.

For SOME models they have a built in filter inside the sender unit whihc only need to be changed at 72.000 miles or earlier if the car start causing problems.

Renault checked my chasis number on their computer and said i have a replacable one but i cudnt find it and neither cud they (that was 2 garages) !!

and i rang renault UK who got a tech guy from france to ring me bak and he also said on my production batch it was on the outside!

but sadly its not their, adn they said someone must have stolen/broke it!!! yer

if you cant see it underneath then its defo part of the sender unit.

 

[Black Fox]

1.2 16vs dont have an external fuel filter, its built into the tank sender unit.

 

[Tom]

sh*t

its running like abag of sh*t on cold, the plugs were f**ked so i changed them, assuming that was the issue. but no it still runs sh*t.

Ideas?

 

[JAY172]

petrol reprogramming perhaps? visit your dealer to see if your ecu software can be reprogrammed.there is loads of renault tech notes where the repair is to reprogramme petrol injection.

 

[Tom]

b****cks

i hate my dealer. i suppose i has to be sorted.

 

[JAY172]

b****cks? only making a suggestion!

 

[Tom]

No i mean "b****cks" as in, i was hoping it wouldnt be that.

sorry man im not having a go at you.

 

[JAY172]

ok me being a bit tired getting the wrong end of the stick-sorry,i know you hate your dealer but reprogramming does sort out the majority of running problems on the 1.2.give it a try it wont cost you anything because warranty will cover it.

 

[Tom]

err warranty?

that "may" have been voided.

 

[JAY172]

most dealers overlook mods and still carry out the work.what have you done to it?

 

[Tom]

its not that mate, they just dont service it.

 

[BRUN]

stick some fuel treatment in mate........like some Nitrox Hot Shot.....

 

[Tom]

Right i put some in. lets see what happens.

Got a light flashing this morning (looked like an engine) and it ran real bad.

Then BANG (from exhaust) and now it runs fine, light goes off.
