    Bonnet won't open, latch catch nothing

    By the way, do you need to take the starter motor out to check if there is current going to the motor using a multimeter? Are there any other ways I can do this without going through the hassle of removing the starter motor? If I have to remove the starter motor, what is the best way you would...

    Bonnet won't open, latch catch nothing

    Thanks very much for these mate, really boils down loads of possibilities.. Anyway, I think I might have found the issue. A very stupid rookie mistake. I replaced the radiator about 2 weeks ago and did the bleeding but didn't tighten the bleed screw on the flexible hose enough. Now the coolant...

    Turn Steering+start fault

    Thanks mate, the clicks came from the passenger side so probably not the steering lock chattering but think I might have found the issue... The coolant leaked might have short-circuited the starter motor...

    Turn Steering+start fault

    Did you figure out the issue mate? I have a similar problem and is driving me mad. Mine was the car attempted to turn over in the beginning but didn't (suspecting a dead starter motor). Now it is making a rapid clicking before I even attempt to start by pushing the 'start' button. I am thinking...

    Bonnet won't open, latch catch nothing

    No buddy, unfortunately, that was my door to more fking problems. Car wont start and is making rapid clicking noise. Thinking might be the electrical problem as I haven't even turned the key to attempt starting the car. Have to undo the battery cable to stop it from draining all the juice. The...

    Bonnet won't open, latch catch nothing

    Thanks very much for sending the picture mate, I think the collar at the end of the outer sleeve (circled red in the snip below) came off the clip for my case. Yes, I think if I can access the cable behind the inside latch near the bottom left side of the passenger seat, I can pull it open. Is...

    Bonnet won't open, latch catch nothing

    #bonnet #stuck Hi all, I did some maintenance to my car a few days back which I took the slam panel off. I didnt disconnect the cable connecting to the latch but rather let the stay on the slam panel and hanging on the side (a mistake obviously in the hindside). Now I think that the plastic...

    Check Emissions, Check Injection & P0010 on Clio 197

    Hi Sean, the cam sensor is new, will check if the wiring is causing the problem, thanks! Hi Albert, no I only replaced it once because what I did previously (as posted early on this thread) didn't fix anything. I got rid of the engine light yes but the spanner light is coming back...

    Check Emissions, Check Injection & P0010 on Clio 197

    Hi guys, I recently did the dephaser pulley and timing belt and now having a weird issue. I cleared the engine light and hasn't come back up since. What I am having now is a spanner light with check injection (and P0010 on Torque pro). This light only comes up intermittently when I rev above...

    The dreaded Kangaroo

    I have a similar problem but not sure if that's kangarooing, so what I experienced was the car oscillated back and forth when I changed from 1st to 2nd with good bit of acceleration. The car kangaroo less when I let the clutch go a bit slower or when I kept a little pressure on the gas pedal...

    Throttle body relearn/reset

    Dont seem to find something like this in the car so I guess no. Ok good to see someone has the same issue with 197 too. And we have the same colour too so I guess it was a genetic trait...

    Throttle body relearn/reset

    Hi RSRowe, Totally but this just felt a little different to how it was and other petrol engines I have driven. For me, it felt like the first 10% of stroke on the gas pedal was not doing anything. When I go beyond that, the car over-revved. It is kinda hard to explain. I guess an easy way to...

    Throttle body relearn/reset

    Hi Turkie172, Thanks a mil for this. My problem was the car wanted to stall when I move off from a dead stop. For example, while letting the clutch off with slight pressure on the gas, the rpm drops very quickly and stalls the car. I have to rev it to move the car off the stop. Anyway, I have...

Sent it to Renault specialist with can clip said it was the Dephaser going out and got a quote of 1500euro to get it fix. In the quote it says "Reset throttle...
