    It’s all character building and I’ve learnt a huge amount working on the car. It should be sorted now. Thanks for the advice both of you! Would you suggest a shock absorber change if changing to the Cooksport springs for instance? As the time comes round for discs and pads I will be looking at...

    Low battery warning and battery light Clio 200

    Yes, I’ve just clocked 230 miles/a week of daily driving and it seems to be fixed!! I have no reason to think the dreaded battery warning will return now [emoji4] The answer was to go direct to Renault, give them your VIN and they can give you the correct alternator with no questions! The...

    Low battery warning and battery light Clio 200

    Sadly the warning has come back a few times, spoke to Renault today and apparently the alternator is the 8200660043 and the correct Amps and Voltage spec but isn’t the one needed according to the Renault parts database and my VIN! I have a Renault supplied alternator coming out Wednesday under...

    Low battery warning and battery light Clio 200

    *UPDATE* Right, so I now have a Genuine Bosch 8200660043 alternator on the old girl after trying a non-genuine supposedly ‘good quality’ copy. Said alternator caused voltage fluctuation issues (12V-15.5V), lights dimming and flickering, and the dreaded low battery warning! I am happy to report...

    Possible Alternator Issue? RS 200 2011

    Thanks for the reply Tom! I can only assume it’s the regulator causing this fluctuation and that was your fix! I will mention this to the supplier tomorrow so cheers! Do you know if their is some kind of intelligent battery sensor or module that also controls the charging system or just the...

    Low battery warning and battery light Clio 200

    Glad I stumbled across this post! Can anyone shed any light on the battery warning randomly coming in and going off? I replaced the battery and then alternator when it became more frequent and tried to die on me at idle, now my battery voltage fluctuates from 12V to 15.5V at idle and my latest...
