    Fault code help

    Noting you said it is already remapped - Perhaps this was done whilst it was slight out of timing and is causing the issue(s)? I'm not clued up on mapping and timing etc... However, when I went to have my 197 mapped, Henk from Fastchip noticed it had already been "mapped" but the timing was...

    Fault code help

    New coils and fresh plugs - check and clean PCV, check and clean throttle body. Check/clean lambda sensors - perhaps they are causing incorrect air/fuel ratio due to being faulty (a guess).... What exhaust do you have? Any other modifications? Personally - I would recommend doing the basics...

    ABS and ESP lights

    RSTuner from fastchip.nl. Has been my saving grace for all things Renaultsport (Clio 197 & Megane 225 specifically). Much more than just a scanning tool; Can remap, read and disable airbag(s), brake bleeding etc... All you need is the RSTuner tool and software installed on a basic Windows 10...

    HEADLIGHT WIRING

    Not 100% if this is correct but hopefully it might help - Sorry, I haven't used the VISU diagrams in a few years!

    Please help as no garage can find what's wrong.

    Or use this; It's in French but if you're happy to follow visually, you'll be fine. :)

    No worries. It's very straight forward. I think there is a guide on here how to do it but you may need to be a paid member to access that section of the forum.

    In this order; Replace the thermostat ASAP - as mentioned above, if the car is constantly adjusting the map (likely running rich) to try and get it up to temp, it'll cause performance issues. I had a busted thermostat and replaced it within 20 minutes, noticeable difference immediately. Get...

    Steering assist adjuster

    Perhaps not relevant but... I have the RSTuner from Fastchip.nl and paid for the EPS module (I have a 197) and it unlocks the ability to read faults + change the steering strategy... https://fastchip.nl/shop/clio/clio-3-products/trw-eps-support-for-clio-3-detail Decent bit of kit (the...

    engine temperature gauge

    Hi fella, yeah thermostats are common to go on these. It's a simple job to replace but make sure you buy a genuine thermostat as the standard ones are rated slightly higher than the original part (can't recall the correct figures)...

    Aux belt shredded

    Do you have the engine under-covers fitted (or at least, were they in place) when the belt got shredded? If not then it'll be tough to point the finger!

    Bad vibrations

    Wheel alignment and tyre balancing can be so underrated at times. Get it done and they'll likely tell you if any of your rods/arms are failing at the same time.

    Multiple electrics not working, possibly same cause but struggling to find it.

    Gander = pull each fuse and relay out and inspect for damage, melted plastic or corrosion. Also any water or humidity within the box. I think it has a rubber-like seal that can perish over time which doesnt help when trying to keep water out of this fuse box!

    Multiple electrics not working, possibly same cause but struggling to find it.

    Have a gander at the fuse box under the bonnet, these can get water ingress and slowly corrode/damage the electrical components which may be the cause here... it's relatively common and if not caught early enough, could result in a new fuse/UHC unit being required!
