• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 02 1.2 Starts then wont start 14 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  (removed plugs 1 at a time for visual check, and used a voltage presence testing screwdriver (when engine is running this flashes with the ign pulses)) If you stop the engine, and start it again within a minute or so, it will run fine again. Almost every sensor has been replaced in the last year by Renault, new crank sense loom, metal crash box removed, new coil and leads, relays by the battery checked and terminals cleaned, (although it will run from cold and can be restarted when hot) Its almost as if something that energises the coil, cuts out after ign is turned off and is failing to switch on again after its been run...
• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 03 1.2 sudden loss of power 21 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  It has had a few electrical problems recently and I have removed the ECU black box cover and repaired the wiring. it has also had in the last couple of weeks a new coil pack and plugs (from Renault) a new MAP sensor. the previous problem of rough idling and stalling i think was a combo of all this things but especially the throttle body which i have cleaned. The Ecu has not stored any codes but i was told when looking at the live data that the cat didnt seem to be working.
• Renault Clio 1 Petrol (1991 - 1998) - 95 1171 Turns over but will not start 5 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  1995 Renault Clio 1 petrol - 1171cc ("Energy" engine) Old Clio usually runs well, but has had a long term habit of not starting. When this happens, the engine turns over (fast ? as if little compression) but makes no attempt to start or even splutter or cough.
• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 01 1.2 Coil light appearing and cutting out. 8 Dec 2008 (Forum)

I don?t have the money to start fixing lots of things as I?ve only jus paid 1450 for it? all my savings. Does the above soound right?? could this be fixed without costing hardy anything??
• Renault Scenic (1999 - 2003) - 02 1.9 dci power loss and black smoke 3 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  i crused home at 70 all the way. to be honest i have driven her like it for now a month but i live in cornwall and the gouing up hill thing is driving me crazy. Last week renault told me power loss could be the EGR valve, So i bought one and changed it,whilst in the process of changing i saw that the hose from the mass air flow sensor had a hole so i bought a new one as well,just to be sure OK to the point, after changing the EGR and air pipe there is no difference and my car will still not go up hills ??
• Renault Modus (2004 - ) - Modus - short term experience 1 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  I keep looking for another 2 gears to change up through I've come to the conclusion that the only function of cars like this is for Renault dealers to use as courtesy cars, so when you get your own car back, it benefits by comparison ! Now.... it was supplied with the screenwash reservoir completely empty. If I fill it up, and leave a half empty bottle of screenwash on the passenger seat, how much would it be fair to charge the dealer ;-)
• What should I get next? 29 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  My requirements are: 1. I have generally owned Renaults and VW's and have had good service from both makes. However I might consider something different since it will still leave me with two Renaults and a VW, I won't feel a traitor. But I am not a badge snob. 2.

• Electronic parking brake. 16 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  Anyone else tried pressing it while the car is still moving? I had a renault scenic hire car some time back, thought I'd give it a go on an empty road at about 15mph. It braked as though an elephant had left foot braked! If you have, are all these systems the same?

  'Ere! How about this-- Chap gets out of his nice new Renault on B&Q car park. Locks it up and goes into the store. Lovely quiet engine. He didn't notice but people walking past noticed.. The engine was still running! Who (apart from the French) could design a car that'll do that?
