What is this sensor?

[Leslie Graham]

Hi all, need help.
Car is a year 2000 Clio 172 phase 1. I use it for track days only and whilst on track today at Kirkistown the sensor in the picture came off and broke 4 small wires within it (all part of sensor unit). It is part of the inlet manifold and resulted in the car idling at approx 5k.
What is it, what does it do and how much to replace?

Idle speed control valve.
Not a clue how much sorry!

That's the idle speed control valve. I don't know how much they cost to replace though I'm afraid.

Renparts on ebay are selling them at £40.

Did the cable tie work on the Clio. We had a good start of a day the fog was mental after lunch

Unfortunately not, ended my day as car idling at 6k. Not too concerned though, was only Clios second outing and I've a lot to do before next year.
I'd say foggy run would've been fantastic though. My brother was loving the 4 clio run earlier. Hope that happens many times again!

Hopefully so bud. Still learning the Clio and have used last 2 days for a snag list which is more like a want list for the winter. Lots i could do but running out of things to cut off with angle grinder!
Still on bog standard tyres, brakes, lines etc so plenty to keep me occupied. Happy though as the MR2 had my heart broke and it's very refreshing not to have to remive engine after EVERY SINGLE DAY!

I may still have mine off my ph1 that I'm breaking but won't know untill I go to the car next which is on Saturday.

 

[Leslie Graham]

Found one on ebay for £15.50 delivered. At that orice I'll try it and see how it goes. Once car running ok again i can get the head down over the winter and pull the grinder out again!
