I'm currently in the process of re-familiarizing myself with my 200, after it spent 11 months in the garage getting repaired. I spotted this near the hinge of the boot door - the rubber cable duct, while intact, doesn't seem to be very waterproof - its just laying there in the hole, but its not...

Well, after 12 years on the road and 20 with a driver's license it was bound to happen sometime, I guess. I was rear ended on the highway at night, I was going around 70-80km/h (~50m/h) and a Toyota IQ crashed on the back of my 200 (going, by my estimate at around 100 km/h). The IQ immediately...

I recently opened another thread regarding a new grinding/rubbing noise from the front left on my 2010 200, and since I'm gonna be taking care of it, as I did a few other things lately after a few years of not really dealing with car-related issues, I figure that perhaps, a decade later, I can...

This sounds exactly like the sound tyres make on a multi-story car park when you're maneuvering around... but on my 200, sadly, its not the tyre thats making the noise. When doing parking maneuvers and approaching full lock towards the right, I get this grinding/moaning noise from the front...

I've used cruise control about 5 or 6 times in the last 10 years that I've owned my MK3 200, and during a recent trip I realized that there's something wrong with the steering wheel switches that set cruise control speeds. Cruise control turns on normally via the switch next to the parking...

Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted here, alas I'm back with a problem with my trusty '09 200. Today as I was returning home after work, I got the dreaded 'engine overheating' notification on the dash, and indeed, engine coolant temp was approaching dangerously the upper end of the...

Has anyone replaced their stock Tunepoint unit with an motorised screen aftermarket one? Which are the recommended brands? Upon searching I come across hundreds of chinese knockoff units.

So the problem with my 200's A/C acting wonky was a faulty relay in the engine bay. The offending part is a 12V-50A relay (03525) by Cartier. While I can find hundreds of these online used, I can't seem to be able to find the part new somewhere. Anyone know where I can get one?

My 200's dogbone mount is on its way out and I can feel it while driving. I'm going to replace it on the next service. I've found three part numbers: 8200777542, 8200042454, 8200509784. Apparently, these all fit the 197/200. However, the design seems to have changed; the OEM mount is covered...

Hello everyone. My 200's alternator bearings have been whining for a while now. I'm thinking of replacing it during this summer's service. Can anyone tell me exactly the part number of the Bosch alternator used in the Clio 200? I've found part number 8200660043 which apparently is the same...

So my 200's keyfob battery is on its way out. Does anyone know how to open it without damaging it? Everything I've found on youtube concerns the more classic styled key from the previous generation (Clio II). My fob looks like this: Does anyone have any idea how to pry it open?

Here's a video of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YCPHDJ8TQU&feature=youtu.be There's this scraping noise, audible only from outside, from the engine when idling. I believe it disappears above idle. No other weird noises and the car performs as it should. I'm guessing since it...

So I've noticed every time after I wash my 200 that water accumulates in the footwells, both driver and passenger sides. Originally I thought the culprit would be the drainage pipes behind the front scuttle panel. They were indeed clogged and I cleaned them thoroughly. Water no longer pools...

So I live in an area with a lot of trees, which sadly means there are very few parking spots clear from trees. This means that every couple of days or so I will find a bird dropping or two on my 200 and tons of leaves under the wipers. Naturally, these leaves somehow find themselves within the...

Well after four years my tyres are showing their age. Tread depth is ok but the tyres themselves have aged visibly. I am on the OEM CS3s now. I was thinking of moving up to the CS5s or the Michelin Pilot Sport 3s. What would you choose between these two?

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...

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...

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...

So I got myself a set of 2 speakers and 2 tweeters (Pioneer's plug and play TS-131Q) and went about installing them. Having owned a Megane II before my 200, I knew how hard it is to remove the damn tweeter grilles. However, with the Clio it was even harder. And after I removed them, guess...

So after 3 years since I last took care of it, my clutch pedal started squeaking again. Thankfully, the remedy is an easy one, just undo the plastic pedal cover in the footwell and spray (carefully) some silicone lubricant into the clutch assembly and the point where it enters the firewall. So...
