Solved! Starter heat shield was touching starter switched +12v. Fuse blown. @turkie172 i have to thank you if you live here definetly free pint or two. Today i collected car from mechanic

Tomorrow i will pick up car from that specialist if there is no solution. I can drive it after push start.

Yep, that is correct. I think that 20A fuse is only for switched +12V for starter. Nothing new today, maybe tomorrow something.. maybe not :pensive:

Correct. I told this yesterday for that garage who is trying to fix my car. Nothing new so far.. no any solution.

@turkie172 Many thanks once again, i just sent email for that garage. It could be this, makes sense..

Hello Clio 197 would not start. No crank. Not even sound from solenoid. Car towed for french car specialist yesterday. I got call today: -No signal for starter -Push start car starts okay -Starter works fine. Normal key ignition, no key card. Is there some common problem? any help...

Small update from mechanic -Starter works normally -Car starts with push start normally -Starter switched +12 is missing when you turn key.. Ignition barrel..? French electrics :french:

Yes i know we have -30celsius in wintertime. Different symptoms usually it only clicks solenoid or really slow crank when flat battery. First thing was jumper cables and power from another car.. no help.

Yep, you might be in the right track. We discussed about this in irc channel this morning, and there was also this idea. We will see later, when this specialist have time to check it.

Battery has been ok all the time, no any power problems. I will update this when that specialist have time to work with my car. 1 week waiting time.

Good morning..:french: Wont crank. Solenoid dont give any sound. Only relays click when i turn key. -Battery seems to be ok, with jump cables no help.. -with spare key same thing. Startermotor or ignition switch..?

Same dyno and same dynoman, and he also told me about that 197 curve is not smooth. He does not do any smoothing for prints.

First, i want that you look my old clio 197 dynoprint: My current 197 feels kind of waving power output. When i accelerate lets say 3000rpm to 7000rpm i can feel that power output is not smooth. It kind of first goes and then lesser and again more power. Noise is same, and nothing weird but i...

I have very good experience with ATE discs and brembo original pads. For example, BMW original disc manufacturer is ATE. (E46 )

Hey man, here was also key card option when 197 was new. But first owner told me that he bought 197 so cheap it was possible to buy.. So no bells & whistles here and basic red colour. Ignition lock problem is now sorted.. Car locksmith fixed it. I also bought new shear bolt just in case it...

Yep tracking price is approx 50£ in my local specialist. Clio is easy because only front adjustment

Subframe was lowered from car when replacing flexis, what do you think is tracking necessary? Steering wheel is in straight position and car runs fine. @Foxspeed @turkie172 , any opinions? Today nice weather so some driving :smile:

Hi Yesterday i drove maybe 50kilometres and today 10km. No error lights, error codes or anything. In my opinion it works now fine. I dont know was the solution flexi replacemt or the old coilpacks which i changed back and valeo greentop coils are now in my storage table.

Yeah, i know these things which you told. I am sure that ignition lock was fine before. I dont believe that mechanic has to do anything with this. And it is now fine, that is the most important thing. That exhaust story sounds crazy. What is wrong with people :D

SOLVED: Locksmith re-torqued that shear off bolt with punch and hammer. Now it is fine. I will buy spare shear bolt just in case it needs replacement later.
