01 1.2 juddering & weird ticking noise - penelopepitstop
Hi there, just recently bought a 2001 clio 1.2 16V, got it cheapish as it had immobiliser fault, anyway thought i was clever and managed to get a company to send me a ECU which has been demobilised to solve the problem, anyway starts alright now, but lots of weird things have been going on, i wonder whether they are connected to the new ECU or whether they were there already?
1) Juddering when you release accelerator? especially low speeds
2) when you turn engine off after a journey a weird ticking noise starts up, it sounds like its coming from the engine bay near O/S headlight??? (very odd)
3) rev counter does not work on dash
4) temp gauge does not work on dash
5) rear heated screen does not work
6) this model has a onboard computer which half the features do not work, like how many miles left until you need to refuel?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated?
