Hi All, Ive had my Clio for 2 years now - no problems - until tonight - or about an hour ago. So i was driving and i could hear this faint noise, which was similar to when you have a flat the same kind of rotating dumdumdumdum noise, Anyway - after a few miles coming home the noise was...

coilpack ?

Pump! this happened to me, - pull it out, let the water drain out, keep everything because the new one i brought, was just the pump n no rubber for the end... they are dirt cheap, should get one for like 10 quid or less

just want to say, mine has always done this, coming upto 5 years of ownership. dont worry ;) just give it a clean out once ina while. if you check where your airpipe goes in, theres a breather pipe which connects to it, im sure it mixes there, because i find it there too ;)

Hello, ​I Have here my 1.2 8v clio D7F engine variant, Now, Im not all sure why but last week i noticed that every so often the car sort of missed a beat, like you know when you bunny hop but not violent, i figured it was my gear changes. I thought not much of it, until say Friday when out...

was just wondering, how much would it cost to have cambelt and clutch done at the same time ? or seperate ? altho, i do have a friend who knows what with a clutch, so maybe just a full cambelt change ? either way, advice would be appreciated :o i have a 8v 1.2, and i think its a d7f ? :P

starter motor ? will it bump start ? if it does then theres the chance it could be starter related ?

check your plugs, make sure they are nice and clean - i had bad idle/ irratic for a while, until i noticed 2 of my plugs had oil round them - changed the rocker gasket n it fixed it, but i would suggest replacing the battery anyway :)

he works ina tyre garage pal so can do it all properly - im at work now for the next 4 days, so i'll try get round to it when im off next

hmm worth a second shot at it then really - well bonus - already gonna get a mate to do it for me will soon see ina couple weeks :P

thing is tho, ive checked my tyre depths ( usually you'd get uneven worn ? ) and there level really, theres no inside/outside wear so, im unconvinced its tracking, - i'll take a butchers look at top mounts :)

[/IMG] picture :P trackin was done im sure when it was in the garage havin mot n all that .. but ive had it done before n it didnt sort it .. lol so the weels there are direct straight - if i 'centralise' the steering while driving, she goes off to the right - ive had a poke around...

ive got a similar problem with my steering actually.. might make a thread later n see if anyone knows what the crack is.. firstly to go take some pictures ... lol

yeah i helped my friend put an engine ina 106 gti, n we just but the clutch on that, stuck on the gear box n dropped it in.. was thinging, how easy are the gear box's to come off this ?

@ fred so they are easy to do ? like, i could do it myself with a haynes ? :P same with a clutch ?
