Err you need to give us a bit more info.

When you say it starts now and cuts out after how long when does the throttle help has the car got fel.

Whats sort of tuming problem was the cambelt done wrong etc?

 

[Mehmet]

Well basicly i got the car... and it was starting fine on the 2nd or 3rd run around ... then it stoped starting ... took it to renault and they said there was a timing problem... that the time belt was changed but was not set up properly when changed... so i got them to adjust it properly and they said now it starts but then it cuts out... when they put it on the machine it said it was a tdc and camshaft sensor problem but they believe its not the problem....

Now they are checking for fuel leaks...

 

[Mehmet]

anyone ?

If its with a dealer leave it to them to sort out they won't let you help them to lower the bill.

If the dealers have the Clip then the'll sort it out easy enough could be a number of thngs faulty injectors tdc etc.

Well to be honest mate... the dealer has it not now for EXACLY a week... and they are taking their f**king TIMMEE... and i need to car back ASAP... so i was thinking ill take it off them and do it my self... cos before it wasnt starting at all...and they said it was the timing of the engine ... they sorted it ( 3 and a half hours of labour = £320) and now they give me this bollox... its really not acceptable.

there is deffo a fuel/air leak somwhere... because the fuel line has air bubles in it...and inside the car it smells of diesel... very badly ... so i am thinking there is a diesel leak or blockage somewhere ?

the fuel line when you open the bonet always has air in it its the way it is.

as for the smeel inside the carI'd be worried unless its stains then you've got an issue as the fuel stays well away from there it runs under the floor and to the front of the engine bay nothing more.

Doing somehting properly doens't tell us what they actualy did.

could be injectors they are trouble on the car take it to another garage though usless us trying to help you with your level of car knowledge by the sounds of it.

Ok ... basicly he they said there was a problem with the engine timing... so they had to redo the engine timing because it was replace but was not put back together properly. then he said there was a wiring problem on one of the sensor conectors... and he said he has sorted that... then he said there was no response from the ecu... and he said he sorted the wiring for that aswell and he said he it might be the camshaft sensor...i told the b*****d to change that ... and he did ... still no respons

Now i get a call saying 2 injectors are faulty ( Leaking ) and they need to be changed .. (£429)...

BTW.. when i had the car started and when i hit around 2.5k upto 3.0k the 2 stop lights used to flash along with the engine management light ... all of them kept flashing when i floored it and hit between those revs.

So far they have a bill of £555 for me plus that £429... it seriously does not look good

Hope this helps

If the garage did the cambelt but messed it up then its there bill to sort.

what does he mean no response form the ecu was it dead if so needs chnaging etc.

theres only one stop light what other light do you mean?

what i don't understand is why didn't you fix the car anyway there faults loged as to why they were comming on gfet the fault codes for those etc.

Forget this messing about take it to a garage who know what there doing they sound like they don't know what going on.

This is how it was exacly - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=274722&highlight=injector+problem

All those lights kept flashing between those revs.


I bought the car .. and it started doing this on the 2nd day .. took it to renault in kingsbury and the c***s have had if for 2 weeks exacly... so i am going to take it away from them and take it elsewhere.

Any private garage would of fixed it by now and would of charged half the price..

Most garage wouldn't be able to do it best take it to specilatsb diesel injection or another good dealership.

 

[Mehmet]

So do you also think its injector fault with them lights coming on
