    Clio 197 - TDC Sensor location + changing?

    Just an update. Got the car up on axle stands, removed tray (about 8 bolts), changed sensor and all is well!!! Easy job if you can get the car up safely, thanks for all the tips guys. Car now fires first time every time!

    Clio 197 - TDC Sensor location + changing?

    Hi Twingo, Sorry I literally just ordered one from the local Renault garage. Will keep this in mind for the future. For the markings, I relayed the markings from the picture put up by Foxspeed in the other thread where he has a close up picture. I assume all 197's use the same one?!

    Clio 197 - TDC Sensor location + changing?

    Thanks Ryan. Just called Renault and ordered the original. Its going to be hard work for me to get to this part (don't have a good setup for car work), at under 30 pounds I'll just swap it over so hopefully I don't need to do it again :) If anyone has any tips on accessing the part I...

    Clio 197 - TDC Sensor location + changing?

    Very helpful Foxspeed thanks! So a jack behind the drivers front wheel should give access, possibly. I will see if I can somehow get this done without going to the garage but really need a ramp for this I reckon

    Clio 197 - TDC Sensor location + changing?

    Thanks Foxspeed. So not in a position for me to lean into via engine bay then? :( I could jack it up, but given I don't really know what I am looking for it might be better to take it to a mechanic. How much of the undertray has to come off? Will order the part from Renault if required.

    Hi Guys, I have an intermittent starting issue with my 197. Will start fine sometimes, other times can take a good fwe attempts. it cranks over, just doesn't seem to catch. Can hear the fuel pump coming to life so think this is the sensible place to start. Except...where is the...

    Window Alignment?

    Hi All, Totally new to the 197, picked it up the other day! Loving it so far! One thing, my passenger side window is out of alignment, I've read about the regulator issues, but I'm pretty sure its not that. It goes up and down fine, its just not following the seals correctly so ends...
