Clio MkII 172 K reg
At the morning I wanted to go home in my clio 172 MK2 2003 CB1N. There was a starter but no engine start. I towed it to Reanult dealer. They checked it with scanner and found nothing. From my familiarity, this is a symptom of bad TDC sensor + its plug (dealer said the same). Must to say that before clio I had a megane coupe K4M 1.6 16v 2002 that had the same problem about 3 times in my ownership time. Always cost me about 45 pounds (sensor + plug + work - in Israel). Today dealer said that now renault changed this sensor and its plug for blue one and it will cost me 170 pounds . I refused to replace and drove home (in the end at the garage it started :dapprove: ). I called to mechanic that I know and he said to do these actions: disconnect the TDC sensor from the plug and then turn the A & B pins a little bit to one direction. After that to reconnect the sensor to plug with some power and it should be OK. He explained to me that the problem is that the sensor sits near the enigne and by the time the plug get hot so at the end the connection become weak. I did what he said and for now it is ok but I stared it from then a couple of times.
My Questions:
Does megane's (I or II) TDC sensor + plug is the same as clio's ?
I wanted to clean it but it was not dirty at all. What else should I do if the problem will come back ?
May I put the old TDC + plug (before the blue one) ? this will cost me about 50 pounds instead of 170 pounds.
p.s. to get to the sensor is realy irritating job... these french...
