Thats the electric fault warning light, could be anything really. Needs to be plugged into diagnostics to find out whats wrong.

Washed it recently ? Could've got something wet ?

Yep sounds like you've found your probelm.
Take the car to dealership or somewhere with a computer to find the problem.

is it a deisel? my kangooo started doing the same, but feels like its firing on 3 , maybe heatplugs who knows

quite possibly on a diesel kangoo, how old what engine? if its a newer one probably wants a set of heater plugs and a new EGR valve, as they coke up and cleaning them never seems to last long!

my 1.2 16v done this last week, i unplugged every sensor and plugged them back in and it was fine :S

 

[Jamie _Swales]

my 1.2 did this one, as did my 182

They just reset my 182, but the 1.2 they had to change part of the loom and the throttle bodies aparently

May be worth checking the relay box by the battery.
Its notoriously not water tight and if water has been getting in for a while then sometimes the relays corrode and then all sorts of things start to act up.

My old 1.2 had problems everytime i washed it or it rained.

This happened to mine and i went back to my favorite place and they said a sensor had gone down.

Im getting that zig zag symbol light up on mine as well ever since i removed the sensor at back of air filter to put new one in. But it seems to run fine.

PM me your address if you ant a file engine is the same as the CLio so bits are in the same place.

If you find the intake manifold (round the back on the engine you'll see the intake pipe from the turbo on the passenger side but you'll also see a smaller pipe attaching to the top of the manifold much smaller in size that the pipe going from the EGR to the intake manifold.

[tommyboy]

[edde]

Just had this happen to mine so I came straight home, turned the engine off and then turned it back on and it seems fine now, went for a drive and it's not done it again.

What are the chances it will go again...should I get it put on the diagnosics at Renault or is it going to be waste?
