    Blowie/buzz noise at 2.3k under hard acceleration

    Yeah my mounts are solid enough for now (I said my exhaust was good 4 months ago too lol). She's had a bit of work needed on her this year. Then again she is getting on age wise now and I've been lucky that all she has needed replacing is a battery (barring usual wear and tear items like...

    Blowie/buzz noise at 2.3k under hard acceleration

    Rev it to 7k ish whilst driving. Does yours sound like its sucking/blowing? getting mine examined hopefully today. Honestly I'm 90% sure it's the manifold or exhaust.

    Blowie/buzz noise at 2.3k under hard acceleration

    Thinking this is probably my exhaust (or where it joins the mani) as its still on its original one (which is now 6/almost 7 years old) noticed it yesterday morning and it is literally only at 2.3k and only when I accelerate quick. If it rolls upto that rpm it doesn't make a noise, if I softly...

    AB 06 197 campanile Northampton

    I'm parked up next to you. bit of a tight squeeze but don't worry I take a lot of car not to ding my car so your safe. The cars look like twins :p you have gold clio197.net sticker on your rear window so know your on here.

    engine management light flashed Clio 197

    Exactly this ^ its just fumes backing up and screwing with a sensor, causing high readings, once your on the move it clears and reading drops (as I was told so don't quote me on that) had it twice last year but not had it this year.

    Coolant needs topping up, which one?

    It took 10/20 capfuls to top it up so it hasn't lost much (if it ever did) Honestly it may have been at that level for a while and Renault probably didn't touch the coolant because it was fine at that level anyway. It was between the max line and the joint on the header tank. Now it's on the max...

    Rough start to life with the Clio

    Honestly it doesn't sound like the car has been looked after. If it hasn't it will give you nothing but problems in your ownership and chances are you'll hate it. whats the history like? How old is it? 197/200? saying that the brakes really need a good service every year to keep them in shape...

    Coolant needs topping up, which one?

    The coolant currently in my car is pink in colour. Renault didn't change the coolant last service it could do with a top up. last time it was changed was last year by Ren7oaks (specialist) i understand there's a few types and they don't play nice. Anyone know what one I should look at that...

    After a rough month with the car.

    Just turn the music up on the motorway. That'll drown out a noisy exhaust ;) tell me about it. I've said, in the past, to my partner that I want to get rid of it but he always says back to me that I'd hate myself if I did because my car is my baby and he is 100% right. I'll admit it's not...
