So I have a MK2 2003 Clio. For the last 6-9 months or so she has had a intermittent starting problem. Not every time and it could last for months without a problem. When she started doing it we would normally play around with the battery terminal or even the plug that goes to the started and she...

Yeah, no problems with the immobilizer or the earth's etc. It's very odd Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

I've had several CV boots changed on my 1.2 16v 2003 and on my old 1.4 1999. You don't need a new driveshaft until the driveshaft makes a noise or the abs ring is broke. Is there a reason why you ask about the abs teeth? Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

Hi all. Not sure if this is the right area to post this help but I have a mk2 2003 1.2 16v Renault Clio who 95% of the time starts with out fails, runs really well with no problems then 5% of the time she will start with no problem then within 10 seconds just completely dies, no hesitation no...

Hi all, just a quick question. My car went into my local garage about 2 months ago for a cambelt and water pump change as well as oil spark plugs etc . Since then I have had this tapping/rumbling noise from that side of the engine and it sounds on the top end not underneath. I have also found...

Mine is not that engine, it's the 8valve E7J. I have had a full service including timming belt and water pump if that's what you mean? I would have thought if it wasn't rimmed correctly then it would be running fast and poss juddering?

No just mearly saying

Yes, all mounts have been replaced. The battery isnt really on a tray, it sits over the top of the mount and bolts down but either way they have all be changed, all bolts are tight and nothing is cracked, broken or loose. The engine is pretty solid.

The car passed its MOT a month back so nothing to do with suspension and I've had both ball joints, both springs, shocks and top mounts replaced. Air box is tightly secured and have been trued without it. The noise is definitely coming from somewhere in the engine bay, sounds like a vibration...

I knew someone was going to tell me that because no one reads posts properly. I know you shouldn't and I don't, it's the way to get people to hear it on the get go rather than drive it for miles to hear it. And no not that order either, I do know how to drive and in my first post I have already...

Hi, the noise has been there ever since I brought the car nearly 4 years ago but it was very very quite. I've had all sorts of mechanics look at my car and they have all also drove it. I've had exhaust specialist, gearbox specialist, normal mechanics, you name it they have looked. As far as I'm...

Hi all, I am thinking of changing my cat. I think the flexi bit has become hard and It is causing a vibration through the cab. I just have a few questions 1) I was wondering if there is a gasket between the manifold and cat? 2) Do I need something called a fitting kit? If so, what does that...

Hi all, I've had just about enough of my Clio. I have this horrible vibration noise coming from either the front of the engine bay or the rear or below. It only does it when you labour the engine so when your driving around 30 in 5th or 20 around 4th etc. It does it in all gears. I've had...

Hi all, right I have been having problems with my 2003 clio, the driver's door window just won't work, the switch operates both drivers and passengers window. Passengers works perfectly. Originally it started juddering and then just stopped one day. Ok so I thought it may be the switch or the...

Mk3 has 2 different color headlights, minor marks for it's age and that's it, looks like some water has started seeping into the edges of the rear Windows, not let watering in at all but u can just see a mark around the glass My mk2 has age related marks but nothing obvious or bad, mine has...

Forgot to say that my mk2 has done 124,000 and the mk3 is just under 120,000

Hi, I have looked at the mot history and other than normal wear and tear as in tyres, breaks etc it all is ok, she doesn't have a lot of paperwork tho which is a downside. I just don't want to make a big mistake

Hi all, was wondering what I should do. I have a mk2, 1999 Clio alize, 1.4 petrol at the moment, she has a vibration noise which is my driver's drive shaft apparently and a very slight noise on my power steering. I have spent over £800 on her since Xmas. My question is whether it's worth putting...

Hi all. Let me start from the beginning. About 2 months ago my front fog lights decided not to work, fine fair enough, the light on the dash still worked so I new it couldn't be that bad. I changed both bulbs and looked at the fuse. Nothing was wrong. So I dug a little deeper. I removed the...

Hello, I was wondering of someone could tell me if my ph1 clio relays will be the same as ph2 clio's. My front fog lights don't work and the light on the dash doesn't come on either, the fuse is ok and so is the switch so only guess is a relay. Have to go to a scrap yard as I can't seem to get...

I'll see if I can get a video tomorrow with the sound. Might not be to clear tho as I'll have to drive the car to make the noise. I took her to my local exhaust place and basically I had a blow in the centre clamp and the clamp was hanging off and the exhaust was twisted slightly so bumping...

Same as my dad's, he has a 1.2 16v 2003 clio ph2 and he does 20 in 5th and she is absolutely fine. My is a 1.4 alize 1999 clio ph1

Nope no noise at all, she is silent until I'm driving her and changing gears. Although, my driveway has a slight hill to it so when I go up in first gear she does make the noise then. I could probably record the noise but how do I upload it as video? Like I said, I'm taking it to the exhaust...

It isn't that type of noise. The noise is like something is vibrating. And even when I pull away in 1st she does it too and don't say I need a new clutch as I already have a new one :) Maybe an engine mount or my exhaust is to tight so when I rev and change gears it's pulling? She doesn't do it...

I was using that as an example. She's a petrol and when I had her she would drop to around 20 in 5 so I know she is ok and can handle it but this noise has got me concerned

Hi everyone. I have yet another problem with my clio. I have had her for nearly 3 yes in January 2018 and every since I have owned her she has had this vibration noise. To start with it was only minor. Now it's louder and more frequent. It only happens if your in to much of a high gear at a low...

I read another thread under a similar name and they had the same problem and all they did was changed the code reader ring that reads the codes for the immobiliser. Could that work?

Ok so I have a mk2 ph1 Clio. The last few days I have noticed my car not starting, then I realized when it didn't start the immobiliser light was flashing like no tomorrow. It didn't do it all the time but today, it did it more often than any other day. I rang up Westover Renault and spoke to...

Spent a good hr down the garage today, he ran a diagnosis and all came back fine, no problems with the wires or immobiliser. He did a test with his electric testing screwdriver on the front fogs and when they are switched on I have 2 lives, when they are off, I have a live and a earth. It's the...
