• 2001 Mk2 1.2 16v Petrol - 2001 Mk2 1.2 16v Petrol - turns over, won’t start. 13 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  I have never had to bleed a petrol system. Maybe bleeding is needed with Clio. I have zero experience with fault diagnosis on Renault Cars. If this was a 40 year old car with a carburettor and points I would be able to quickly diagnose the issue. I believe this diagram is correct for a 2001 Clio , but I have no idea where to find the various components Please suggest what I need to check to eliminate some issues and find the problem.
