How many bolts are there to remove for the inlet manifold? what steps do i need to take? Also what you have said is spot on, when i changed the sparks last week the spark plug hole closest to the drivers side had bad corrosion on the plug itself and brown dust in the hole, on the plug and also...

Car: 2006 Clio 1.4 MK3 Car has had a slight misfire for a long while now but have not really looked into it, symptoms have been a slightly jumpy idle, louder than usual engine, and random misfire fault code that keeps popping up. Have changed all sparks and all ignition coils and also cleaned...

Ill try force a thicket bolt in tomorrow and of that fails ill look into getting one of them helicoil kits! If it comes to that I should be able to helicoil the thread without taking the whole thing off? If your a helicoil expert I wouldn't mind paying you to sort it for me tbh! lol

2006 Clio MK3 1.4 It has pencil type ignition coils and one of the threads that secures the coil using a bolt is stuffed, its destroyed the thread of the original bolt and it now just turns and turns and will not tighten. Have tried a bolt with the same thread an it just keeps turning and will...

Final bump lol Anyone able to explain how to change the injectors on the mk3?

Try Craig Shiraz @ gotboost as he mapped a few diesel cars of mine and I'm pretty sure he maps petrol cars too!

Usual suspects for misfire are sparks, ht leads, coils and injectors. I'm in the process of sorting out a slight misfire on my mk3 clio 1.4 and so far I have changed everything apart from injectors which arrived today lol

Do you have a spare key to try?

Might be worth giving it a full service (all filters inc fuel filter, oil, spark plugs) and test the coils too!

Anyone with an MK3 (Petrol) able to assist with my question?

Hi all, Trying to fix an idle misfire issue on my 2006 Clio 1.4 MK3 (its only minor but annoying!) and i have also got powerloss/lag on acceleration and a Random Misfire fault code keeps popping up (but no EML at any point). I have so far changed all 4 sparks and 4 ignition coils and cleaned...

Sounds like the butterfly valve inside the throttle body is sticking. What did you use to clean it? Try give the car a thrash on the bypass/motorway and see if that helps (stick to speed limits of course ;))

Could this be the case if it only happens when the engine is cold? does not happen when the engine is warm? I was thinking it could be one of the pulleys or something, the noise seems to speed up as i press the accelerator?

I know im bumping an old thread but was this issue ever resolved? Im having the EXACT same issue with my 06 (MK3) Clio 1.4. In cold weather engine cuts out when approaching junctions and sticking my foot on the clutch, when warmed up its fine. Idle revs seem to be bouncing every so slightly...

the turbos are relatively small on these engines, if he slaps on a big inter cooler he's more likely to get turbo lag, a smaller yet more efficient inter cooler would reduce turbo lag and do a better job. only thing I would recommend doing is getting a straight through pipe made up from turbo...
