Clio 172PH2
I posted a while ago about a fault that had developed on my 172, the car started to misfire in 3rd gear, eventually got so bad car would barely drive, kangarooing then eventually died.
Took to local garage who replaced coil plugs and leads, problem persisted and actually worsened car would start and if it did would stall.
Took to renault specialist, they played with the cam sensor and loom and car started straight away, but misfire remained, no fault codes whatsoever at any time during problems. Renault specialists found problem with 1 injector so replaced it. Car appeared much improved, however low down misfire / cough remained.
Took back to renault specialist, who replaced all remaining injectors. Ive since had car back, but the problem is still fu*king there, its so frustrating. ALthough its greatly improved if i remain in say 3rd gear at low revs then push the accelerator, its seems to hesitate / cough slightly then picks up fine, ive lost confidence in the car completely.
Booked into another specialist next week Birchwood as im all out of options really. The fault is so intermittent and not throwing codes that most mechanics are scratching their heads! Anyone got any ideas? Ive done a search others with similar faults have had it rectified after replacing injectors or cam sensor?!
