mine used to come on everyday and just got back from the stealers with it now.....my wallet is also £320 lighter
 
. . .seems to come on more frequently now, when the vehicle isnt moving the rev needle seems to bump up and down slightly, at under 1000rpm and often stalls :/ also when accelerating theres no 'kick' anymore, really need to rev to get the car going, any ideas? stalled 3 times in a drive thru (u)
(dont post if you dont know)

thats because there are only like 2 mechanics on here, rest are owners so people if they have a problem take it to a dealer.

youll need a diagnostics check, then that will tell you what it is for sure, if it is the map, from reno £80 ish

thought so, the check is £75. . .only reno can sort this out? did you have the same problem?
 
took it reno today. . .said it was caused by the tdc sensor. . .and itl cost about £550 to get sorted. . .<<< yeah right

i would say lambda sensor as this measures the af ratio and adjusts mixture,will cause the syptoms u have.
if it was tdc it will not be be giving a signal=no spark/fuel pump as a rule.
there is a rare occasion where it can come and go,but this is VERY rare as they work on magnetic pulse and measure resistance as the tooth passes it or the gap where a tooth is missing is "seen"by it(2 types of system both same principal tho)and that tells it where tdc is for timing and also triggers the fpr(fuel pump relay)
 
  is dirty.
My car is doing exactly the same thing as you described, it's a real pain in the arse, makes me look like a shite driver even though the car keeps stalling.
 
My light is on the exact same too, but mine won't start. I'm thinking it's something to do with the battery, fingers crossed.

Is the check from Renault definitely £75? Aas well as having to pay to fix it on-top of that?
 
75 for the check yeah

my bill:
didnt tell them to do anything though

diag = 75
coolant top up = 11.75 <<< taking the pss imo
new wiper front = 42.32 <<<< +1
new rear = 19.36 <<<< +2
clean of throttle body = 181.54
tdc + loom = 102.81
new injection loom = 150.38
no plate bulb = 13.51
sidelight bulb = 12.30
bonnet swtich = 24.62

do the math

Is your car now problem free?

yep. . but didnt get it done at reno

What a fokin joke that is really! A TDC sensor is about £50 with a new section of loom and half an hour to fit, and i doubt that would have been the problem anyway.
