Buy the
RS Tuner kit (includes a free custom remap). I have one and out of the £1000's spent on my 197, this one tool has been the most impressive bang for buck....
It allows you to read all specific faults and errors, view all live sensors/data and record this data when driving etc... Ability to download/backup and upload ECU mapping and calibration files. There are also separate modules that you can purchase (which I have done) that open access to:
Airbag Module support - Allows you to view what airbags are detected and whether they are enabled (if you remove an airbag, you will get a light, plug this in and you can disable that specific airbag and clear the airbag light fault)
Electronic Power Steering Config Module - Allows you to read and clear any steering related fault codes AND choose the power steering assistance you desire (ranging from weak to strong via the RS Tuner software)
ABS Module - Ability to read and clear ABS faults AND gives access to enable the pump to assist with bleeding the brakes (SUPER handy)...
Once you have purchased the modules as above, they are permanently unlocked on the hardware, meaning you can use it on ANY Clio 197/200. If you want to get a customised map/calibration for a mate, they need to buy
the unlock code (reprog license) for
their ECU and then purchase the
stage 1 map/custom calibration totalling 118 Euro (roughly £100)...
Yes, they are based in NL but the chap (Henk) who I have dealt with has been fantastic. He went the extra mile by helping me diagnose cooling issue and faulty coil packs when in reality, he didn't have to help at all...
Response times are usually next working day (most of the time I've had a response in less than 24 hrs). Since my custom map back in 2019, I have had 0 cold start/kangarooing issues, hugely improved flat-spot (almost non-existent) and the car pulls very smoothly throughout the entire rev range. Before the map, I had terrible kangarooing, the flat spot was so bad it would make the exhaust pop/bang (and not move anywhere) if I put too much throttle on and I had different areas of the rev range where it would pull a bit harder than other areas (difficult one to explain, but it's almost like it had a vtec from like 5-6k revs then it stops...). Turns out the map that was on my car was really REALLY bad (I didn't ask for specifics but I think the timing was advanced so much it was a surprise the engine was able to cope?).
Not sure how many other people have these but just have a nose through the site and give it a shot. Anybody that's local to South West (Bristol) are welcome to have a look at how it works and can plug it into their Clio also.
Hope this was helpful for someone, at least!
