    Clio 197 Australia

    So I had the new thermostat fitted on Monday and it is definitely sitting on the third bar now. The old one was shagged even though still worked partially. The strange placebo effect I have is that the engine somehow feels smoother between 2-3k even when cold. No idea why If you have a Clio...

    Clio 197 Australia

    I had been noticing some weird things happening with the heater in my car on random occasions where it would blow out cold air and not warm air even with the temp set above 20. I had asked around and from what i read the temperature on the clio 3 is supposed to sit on the middle line most of the...

    Clio 197 Australia

    I got into a bit of trouble when the steering rack bush was replaced, the clock spring for the drivers airbag broke and had to be replaced......shit that was a pain in the ass trying to get one locally. In the end i took a massive gamble and got one from Slovakia and hoped it would match the...

    Clio 197 Australia

    I bought a few precaution items also. I already had the steering rack bush fitted but will do the gearbox mount myself when I get around to it. Also got the brake fluid changed as it was a good price to pay for a bleed but they couldn't figure out the clutch easily. So will do that when I do...

    Wheels need a really good clean as the brake dust on them is really bad.

    To buy or not to buy: EP3 or 197 Cup

    Just be aware of the cost of maintenance for the Clio. They are great cars but do need some pricy maintenance items. You mentioned the gearbox, but also look at exhaust manifolds and the three ball joint per side suspension. Get those done and just enjoy it for what it is. :)

    New Clio RS 197 Owner from South Africa

    I would also check the map sensor is plugged in and sitting correctly. It plays a big role in the running of the car

    Clio 197 misfire

    That sucks. I was worried that might happen to mine but thankfully it didn't. If you did not care for OEM you can try https://spareto.com/t/vehicles/renault/renau-clio-iii-br0-slash-1-cr0-slash-1-2-dot-0-16v-sport Sent from my Nokia 5.1 Plus using Tapatalk

    Clio 197 misfire

    Can I ask if you are running a new MAP sensor? My car did something similar, but at cold start where it would jump to 1500rpm then misfire and then rev up and then settle. I oil out my map sensor and noticed it was covered in film and cleaned it up and the area and then seated it firmly down...

    Front headlight change

    Can you do me one more favour? Can you possibly measure the distance from the bulb and connector plugged in, to the dust cover? I want to know how much space is available between the two. Sent from my Nokia 5.1 Plus using Tapatalk

    Front headlight change

    One more question. Is there a set method to align the lights? I swear the beam pattern looks like it points in different directions, and I want to fix this. I am using Osram night breakers Sent from my Nokia 5.1 Plus using Tapatalk
