Yeah mate same place iirc.
Ok, I had a look but could see nothing that looks like the TDC sensor/crankshaft sensor. Do I need to take the air filter box off to see it or can I see it with it still there? Here is a picture of my engine. Can someone point me in the direction to find it? Is it to the left of the airbox by the engine block, to the right by the battery, at the back of the airbox or right underneath it?
Ok thanks.
OK, removed airbox and found it. Not sure what to clean so ran my hands all over it and wiggled the wires and guess what, the car started first time. Car has not started for about 6 days now and I tried before I took it apart and now it starts :star:
Still have the airbox off and will give it a proper clean tomorrow. However, is it worth getting it replaced as its probably on its way out and will keep playing up or just see how it goes?

This may be a rediculously simple answer, but if you were to buy the revised TDC and Loom is it just a plug and play affair.
Does the end of the new loom connect right into the old wiring where indicated? Or do you have to splice the cables where indicated by the red X? Does it connect further up past the X?
When I cleaned mine around a year ago it solved the issue, but now i'm getting the over night turnover problem. It looks pretty tight down there any splicing the blocks with some bullet connectors would be pretty fiddly!
Or maybe it's a lot simpler!? Can someone help? There's no real explanation in this thread about what to do with the cables?

Cut old plug off, fit new plug anyway you want
Assuming it’s a Clio 2 with an F4R engine, it’s basically under the throttle body from memory. Need to take the air box out of the way.
Look at the side of engine, see those 2 black round caps ? (For camshafts) ok now point between them and follow a vertical line going down.. until you find where gearbox joins engine. In that point you will find the sensor it has a black roundish connector if first type, or nice blue if newer type.

2008 will be a 197, front of the gearbox, about in line with where the sump meets the engine block from memory
