By the way, do you need to take the starter motor out to check if there is current going to the motor using a multimeter? Are there any other ways I can do this without going through the hassle of removing the starter motor? If I have to remove the starter motor, what is the best way you would...

Thanks very much for these mate, really boils down loads of possibilities.. Anyway, I think I might have found the issue. A very stupid rookie mistake. I replaced the radiator about 2 weeks ago and did the bleeding but didn't tighten the bleed screw on the flexible hose enough. Now the coolant...

Thanks mate, the clicks came from the passenger side so probably not the steering lock chattering but think I might have found the issue... The coolant leaked might have short-circuited the starter motor...

Did you figure out the issue mate? I have a similar problem and is driving me mad. Mine was the car attempted to turn over in the beginning but didn't (suspecting a dead starter motor). Now it is making a rapid clicking before I even attempt to start by pushing the 'start' button. I am thinking...

No buddy, unfortunately, that was my door to more fking problems. Car wont start and is making rapid clicking noise. Thinking might be the electrical problem as I haven't even turned the key to attempt starting the car. Have to undo the battery cable to stop it from draining all the juice. The...

Thanks mate, bonnet popped open now, reached up from the bottom, pulled the cable, job done.

Thanks very much for sending the picture mate, I think the collar at the end of the outer sleeve (circled red in the snip below) came off the clip for my case. Yes, I think if I can access the cable behind the inside latch near the bottom left side of the passenger seat, I can pull it open. Is...

#bonnet #stuck Hi all, I did some maintenance to my car a few days back which I took the slam panel off. I didnt disconnect the cable connecting to the latch but rather let the stay on the slam panel and hanging on the side (a mistake obviously in the hindside). Now I think that the plastic...

Hi Sean, the cam sensor is new, will check if the wiring is causing the problem, thanks! Hi Albert, no I only replaced it once because what I did previously (as posted early on this thread) didn't fix anything. I got rid of the engine light yes but the spanner light is coming back...

Hi guys, I recently did the dephaser pulley and timing belt and now having a weird issue. I cleared the engine light and hasn't come back up since. What I am having now is a spanner light with check injection (and P0010 on Torque pro). This light only comes up intermittently when I rev above...

I have a similar problem but not sure if that's kangarooing, so what I experienced was the car oscillated back and forth when I changed from 1st to 2nd with good bit of acceleration. The car kangaroo less when I let the clutch go a bit slower or when I kept a little pressure on the gas pedal...

Dont seem to find something like this in the car so I guess no. Ok good to see someone has the same issue with 197 too. And we have the same colour too so I guess it was a genetic trait...

Hi RSRowe, Totally but this just felt a little different to how it was and other petrol engines I have driven. For me, it felt like the first 10% of stroke on the gas pedal was not doing anything. When I go beyond that, the car over-revved. It is kinda hard to explain. I guess an easy way to...

Hi Turkie172, Thanks a mil for this. My problem was the car wanted to stall when I move off from a dead stop. For example, while letting the clutch off with slight pressure on the gas, the rpm drops very quickly and stalls the car. I have to rev it to move the car off the stop. Anyway, I have...

Thanks very much for replying gents, Yes, the car was running poor and has a P0010 error on with check engine light and check emission. Sent it to Renault specialist with can clip said it was the Dephaser going out and got a quote of 1500euro to get it fix. In the quote it says "Reset throttle...

Hello, Does anybody know how to manually reset the throttle body (i.e. throttle body relearn) without a clip diagnostic tool? I recently replaced the dephaser and timing belt, thinking of giving it a reset. P/S: I don't think it is as simple as disconnecting the battery leads and touching them...

Hi guys, I am halfway doing the cambelt and dephaser but my crank locking bolt is very tight and rounded a little as I tried to remove it. Does anyone know if I can do it without a crank locking pin? I have all the bits removed and very close to getting the job done, it would be a shame if I...

Hi mate, good to see someone with 197 in Ireland, can I know where you go to get your car service? Like genuine mechanics with experience in Renault cars and priced reasonably? I got quote for cambelt, waterpump, dephaser, aux belt and coolant changed for 1500euro... Insane

Hi Aaron, thanks for that, I have P0010 error (P0010: “A” Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)) so my guess is something is wrong with the timing/VVT pulley that put too much pressure on the cat and eventually kills it? Cause I have been driving around for some time with this error on now.

Are the purple ones (rear bushes) difficult to press in together with the washers?
