More electrical problems..

[MK3]

I've been doing a few bits and pieces to my car over the last few days, and it seems everytime i sort something, something new breaks! On the trip computer, it's not showing the MPG and miles left in tank. Instead it's flashing '----' ? All other functions are working, so i guess it's a sensor or something. However the actual petrol gauge itself is fine. Could anyone shed some light? Thanks

renault say check your spark plugs!

as wierd as it may seem, the resistance of the plug can confuse the ecu an cause problems with the computers.

only use renault plugs!

checked mine and their non genuine parts so im gonna do thaat asap

** ~£17 +vat per plug tho!! **

Tbh i doubt my problems and yours are related, as mine were fine before i started messing around with the circuit board.

This happens to all clio's.

Computer randomly decides it doesn't want to tell you how many miles you have left lol, instead just gives you the good old '----'
