    Camshaft Position Sensor

    You're on a forum where many owners of the same car are from all over the world - if by chance that one or two are local to you, I'm sure they wouldn't mind meeting up to help you solve your problem - I asked where you were located as if you are close to Bristol, I wouldn't mind helping you out...

    Camshaft Position Sensor

    Where abouts are you? Might be worth seeing if you can swap sensors with somebody who's is known to be working to see if this is the fault. By the sounds of it, RPD may have (unknowningly) sent you a duff sensor or the error you're reading is pointing you to the sensor but maybe it's something...

    Paintwork on Matt Door Trim

    Honestly, the prep and space you paint in are the most important parts. Spraying with a can is super easy and patience is key. Saves you a few quid and if you have some spare time on your hands, it'll give you something to do!

    Paintwork on Matt Door Trim

    Just throwing in an idea - I have nothing to do since work dried up and being in lockdown so I decided to take my bullets, badges, door handles and rear diffuser off last week and spray them myself. I had a few cans of primer, gloss black and lacquer so worth a shot. They came out really well...

    Squeaking clutch

    @turkie172 I used a different CSC bearing when I had mine done... I used this one as I read on a few different forums these can be better because they are made of metal (including the piping) which means they are a bit more durable and won't crack like the plastic ones. It's a TRW make with...

    Squeaking clutch

    I'm 99% certain this is the CSC bearing. Time for a new clutch and CSC :)

    Acoustic valve

    Perfect, thanks for that. I'm going to leave mine in place, but I'm sure your knowledge and photos will be of huge help to OP.

    Acoustic valve

    Appreciate the photos and explanation, but my question is; does this do anything performance wise? Does it affect performance negatively or positively? Also, a few comments up I linked a blanking plug, what/why would that be a "thing" and are their any reasons why you'd want to blank that off...

    Acoustic valve

    I saw this on ebay today (randomly, too!), would this be necessary?

    Acoustic valve

    If that is the case, let me know your thoughts when you've removed and if it's positive, I'm in! If/when you do get around to removing, could you take a few photos etc? :)

    Acoustic valve

    Out of curiosity, what's the pros/cons of removing this valve? (sorry to hijack, just interested)

    I have this version, not sure if it will be the right version as it's for 2009 but worth a shot?: Clio III X85_NT8483_Visu v5.0_2009.05.18

    Genuine Renault Workshop Manual?

    Have you checked the obvious - your battery?

    Pionner SPH-EVO62DAB - 82DAB

    @DS197 Quite right. Was it you that did the mod for the android phone insert where the SatNav/clock screen was? IF not then my bad - but whoever did it, it looked brilliant. I have seen on youtube somewhere of a lad who did something similar but had it hooked up to a mic and a small controller...

    I would advise paying for a membership - it's peanuts compared to the amount of use you'll get out of it. Also, I can't be certain but I think paid members have access to a full PDF of the Clio service manual - this includes a fair whack of detail, the PDF is around 100MB.

    Pionner SPH-EVO62DAB - 82DAB

    @DS197 I think the unit he posted (The Pioneer H/U) is actually a single DINN that allows the screen to be mounted pretty much anywhere you want... The idea is great because this can utilize the single-din space in the centre but then hook up to the monitor/screen where the clock is placed. Of...

    Pionner SPH-EVO62DAB - 82DAB

    Great idea but it's way to pricey for me... You'd be better off buying a Samsung tablet or something and hooking that up to a single-din head-unit. I have a Pioneer head-unit with DAB, BT, all the other trimmings etc and it was only £99. Essentially, I reckon I could get a shit tonne more...

    Ebay exhaust

    Reviving an old thread - anybody have any trouble with the clamping/joining of the manifold to the mid section? I've probably tried around 5 different clamps (including original Renault clamp) and it still seems to have a blow coming from this section and it's driving me nuts. I've used...
