Vvt problem?



  clio 172 phase 2
My friends bought a 172 monaco but once he gets into vvt at around 4-5 k it sort of dies out and theres a noticable change in engine tone once this happens also a drop in power.

No lights on dash .

Would a dodgy dephaser solonoid cause this ?

Diags check to see if the dephaser circuit is functioning and possibly a physical timing check then report back.

Just spoke to a renault mechanic from my local dealership hes there master tech . Hes come across a few with the same problem he said possibly fuel pump ? Starvin the engine once its under demand for more fuel makes sense to me as the feeling is like its running out of fuel

Yeah it could be a fuel problem but it could also be the flux capacitor. Proper diagnostic session is needed
 
pop the plugs off the camshafts and see if they line up visually, to be 100% sure you need a horseshoe though.

Mick, your anger for ignorance of your suggestions really does show of late

I can't help it and its down to long hours and stupid people calling me asking why their EM light is on and they don't want to pay me to look at their cars. Oh, then there's the text mesage from random CSers at gone 10pm asking me if I'm available to talk about their car problems.

Honestly, thats me calm

Bad times.

I know what you mean though, I only browse the problem/engine sections. Half the posts are that f**king stupid I cannot respond without it being worthy of a ban.

The joys that the 1*2's have now fallen down within the grasp of a cheap buy but a dear fix

Me too, I get certain traders asking if I'm alive via whatsapp ;) then we end up doing business deals at like 11.30 pm lol
