Hi guys, I have this whining noise coming from my engine (right side close to the throttle body, not the belt side) and the noise sort of disappears/reduces in volume when I press the gas pedal down by 10-15%, but it is the greatest at idling. The car's rpm also bounces up and down on idle...

Hello, sorry for my strange question. But I’m in situation where I need to order new bumper with xenon cutouts. But when I asked my local dealer they told me that they don’t know the date of delivery and also they don’t even know if they have any to order. They just want deposit with unknown...

Hello, i have a problem with my clio III 197 with the fuses. The fuse of the air was embedded and when i remove with a screwdriver the faston wasnt in her place. In the photo You can see how the one on the left does have the faston and on the other hand the one on the right is empty (from...

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 all, My Clio 197 has been running lumpy for quite some time now. Did the following but no luck getting it back on power like it used to be. My issue is the car was running lumpy on low rev, for example, I had to rev it a little while letting the clutch off to prevent the car from dying when...

Greeting to you all in this forum, I'm Terence from Hong Kong. Been getting this Clio 197 half year and I would like to share my daily maintenance / detailing stuff here. Personal goal is to maintain the stock outlook and slightly enhance the performance. I'm very satisfied with the power but...

Hi guys, i recently got a stock shocks set for 197 (large mounts) and a set of Eibach Pro-kit 20mm. Also i got a set of mounts to fit the shocks but the problem is that the springs are too small for the mounts. It`s my fault that i haven`t read carefully the specs where it says that they fit...

Hi guys, i recently got a stock shocks set for 197 (large mounts) and a set of Eibach lowering springs (Pro-kit 20mm). Also, to complete this i got a set of strut mounts to fit the shocks but the problem i found is that the springs are too small for the mounts. It`s my fault that i haven`t read...

Thought I'd post a few pics from last weekend where a few of us had a small get together. Photos are from @DANGER2HIMSELF , @stevef175 and myself. Thanks for looking!

Hello Lads, My 197 has been misfiring like crazy the past few days. Obd2 only shows "P0300 Random/multiple cylinder misfire." I suspect one of my coils are breaking down. I have tested the resistances and they all seem about the same at 0.6 or 0.7 Ohms. While the car is idling I removed the...

Good evening gentlemen/ladies On bank holiday Monday I test drove a clio 197- early 2007, 76k. Fell in love. Never drove a car like that as since I have passed my test I have owned a corsa (haha lets all laugh) (corsa is a great little runner btw) Immaculate condition bar a small stone chip...
