Rack replaced today. Unfortunately due to urgent business I couldn't pick up the car today - I'm gonna pick it up first thing tomorrow morning. The mechanic told me over the phone that the problem seems to be fixed. However I won't be convinced until I try it for myself. Fingers crossed...

My guess is its the clockspring mechanism behind the wheel, where the cabling for the airbag, horn and wheel buttons passes through from the column to the wheel itsself. All of them are somewhat noisy especially in the summer, even from brand new, but if the noise is that noticeable I would...

Does anyone have the part number for the nuts and 'locking mechanisms' (the metal caps that prevent the nut from loosening) for the two bolts that secure the steering rack to the subframe? I can't find this part on the Dialogys diagrams, I can however find the relevant bolts (part number...

Finally, the dealer ordered a new rack with the cost being covered almost fully by the extended warranty. I expect a 10 day delay since the part isn't in stock anywhere in Greece (!) Let's hope this solves the problem.

My 200 is going in at a different dealer tommorow.. I hope they can diagnose it properly this time. The comment a couple of pages before regarding the clunk when first turning the wheel after the car had been sitting in the sun makes me think I do have a faulty rack, after all. Now let's see...

I just drove my 200 after a week long trip abroad. It was parked in a garage, so it had stayed out of the sun and today was pretty cloudy. Guess what... no steering clunk for the 30 minutes or so I drove around in it. If the car had been left in the sun I would be getting more clunks than I...

What's weird is that there is no ACTIS solution posted for this problem with the Clio 197/200. On the Megane II it was one of the more common faults and every dealer had the adhesive kit. However, with the Clio it's up to the dealer to choose which solution to apply. Either way, I...

Also, in my case the mechanic said he could not pinpoint the source of the problem but doesn't believe its the rack (in his words, "its too early for that"). This coming from the man who, back when I owned a Megane II and had similar clunking issues, replaced both rack & column with slightly...

What was the fix, Mentalpen?

After a long time of having decided on the ideal driving position, I had to fiddle with the metallic lever under the driver's seat (the one that adjusts distance from the controls). So I lift it up and apart from the typical 'metal spring' noise the lever makes, I also get a mysterious...

Having lived with the mysterious knock when dropping off kerbs/speedbumps for 2 years (I've also posted a video on here), I believe this issue is completely separate to the steering issues you describe. I have had both shock and top mount replaced, everything removed and re-tightened but the...

I still haven't gotten around to dealing with this problem due to a lack of spare time. However, it has definitely gotten worse now that ambient temperatures have reached 30 degrees celsius. It seems ton recede in cold weather... I remembered today that when it started, a year or so ago, the...

It's threads like these that make me happy (?) I forked over 600 euros for the extended 5 year warranty. Hope all is well with your Clio Marshall. Let us know of any developments!

Most Renault dealers in Europe can't order these parts, apparently the Renaultsport parts department is independent from Renault's commercial branch. However, most Renault parts importers/specialists can order these parts for you. They are expensive, though. I placed 2 shims on my 200's rear...

That's good to hear. Was your knock as described above? I'm going to try this tomorrow. The only thing I'm worried about is overtightening the bolt (I don't own a torque wrench unfortunately).

So now that the weather is getting warmer, this "steering column knocking when stationary or maneuvering at slow speeds" problem has come back in force. A more detailed description of the problem: when stationary of moving at slow speeds, I get frequent, slightly audible knocks felt through...

Did this do it? Do the grilles sit flush now? I'm thinking of doing the same when i find time.

Took a couple of photos today of how my tweeter grilles look after replacing the fake tweeters with the Pioneer ones: Grumpy, do your tweeter grilles look the same? Or are they more flush with the dashboard? I'm trying to decide whether taking them out and trying reinserting them again is...

Can someone post a photo of the lower arm link?

Did your 200 have actual working tweeters or plastic dummy ones preinstalled?
