    Fitzys DB 197 track/weekend toy

    I had the same symptoms and the same error code when my dephaser pulley went bad. Also my car was running rough and misfiring on all cylinders.

    Engine misfire

    I was thinking that maybe timing belt has jumped so I checked that and all was fine so I have pulled the plug and called the mechanic to come pick up the car because I don't have a garage and all the tools neded. He then replaced the belts and all the stuff and told me that timing was little...

    Engine misfire

    I have tested the O2 sensor again and it looks like it's working properly. It goes from 0 to 0.9v and it responsive to heat input. Maybe I didn't heat it enough the first time

    Engine misfire

    I have tried different spark plugs with the same result. Did a compression test and it is the same on all cylinders. I have a LPG system installed and it is running rough on both fuels so I think that injectors are fine. It's not like it's running on 3 cylinders, more like all of the cylinders...

    Engine misfire

    Yesterday my Clio 197 developed a misfire during normal driving without any obvious reason and it is happening across the whole rev range. It sounds like bad air/fuel mixture or like that timing is out. There is also smell of unburned fuel from the exhaust. I suspect that I have bad downstream...

    Has your gearbox been replaced? Yes or no?

    I also think that they didn't came with uprated synchros from factory but there are gearboxes that were rebuilt using steel synchros so I wanted to know if the steel ones keep breaking like the old brass ones.

    Has your gearbox been replaced? Yes or no?

    Has gearbox reliability improved since the introduction of steel synchros?

    197 wing mirrors

    Was the power folding option available on standard Clio (non RS) or just on RS models? I plan to paint the new plastic cover

    197 wing mirrors

    Thank you very much for your offer sir but I do like auto folding option very much and if I install manual mirror I will have to buy a new plastic cover for the interior because mine will not fit so the cost will probably be the same or close.

    197 wing mirrors

    I have electric folding mirrors with 4 position switch. The thing is that I didn't know that passenger side mirror is also supposed to fold with a switch because mine is broken and it doesn't work. It's not that I don't have money for new mirror but I don't want to waste any money buying 197...

    197 wing mirrors

    I have mirrors with electric adjustment and electric folding option. Do you know if both sides should fold itself with a switch or just drivers side? I don't know because my passenger side mirror is broken. I need complete wing mirror,not just glass because someone broke the complete mirror off...

    197 wing mirrors

    Is your car RHD? Mine is LHD so if the mirror is from drivers side on a RHD car maybe we can work something out.

    197 wing mirrors

    Hello! I need help regarding wing mirrors on the Clio 197. My passenger side wing mirror is broken and I need to replace it but genuine 197 mirrors are expensive. I can get a mirror from Clio 3 (non RS) for much cheaper so I would like to know if they are the same. I am thinking of pre facelift...

    Renault Sport Clio 197 Racing Red

    Yeah, I also think that 13.8 is a little bit "optimistic" but 14.38 sounds right considering mods you've had done and your shiffting skills (RSG ;) ). Btw, this was done with a full weight car? I think that Clio 200 gearbox is good for N/A cars but far too short in first three gears for a turbo...

    Renault Sport Clio 197 Racing Red

    What is your best 1/4 mile time? I saw some of your videos on yt but I thought that you are no longer competing at 402 SR. I've read many project threads regarding Clio 3rs and I think that I've never saw anywhere that someone had driveshaft failure but not many people are using C3Rs for drag...

    Renault Sport Clio 197 Racing Red

    Yeah, I know but at least now you have forged engine which hopefully will be reliable at big power levels. Are you still running high compression in your engine? Znam,znam :P I think that gearbox will probably be fine (depending on the torque level and curve) because there is a few meg'd...
