Are there 2 thermostats on this thing? Workshop manual is a little unclear

Hey guys, Does anyone have any hints or tips on changing the thermostat on a 200? Anything to watch out for etc? Thanks

Hey guys I have an update on this and it's good and bad. Brake problem solved, but it turned out to be a loose hub nut!! Which is weird as was mot'd yesterday and nothing mentioned. Noticed a knocking noise today, immediately drove home as I have access to a ramp out the back at work. Raised...

Hey guys, Trying to work out why my brake pedal is travelling nearly to the floor before brakes fully kick in. It's a Clio 200. Had an mot and failed due to o/s rear brake imbalance. Sat too long with handbrake on. So took the top off the rear caliper and cleaned up the disc and pads then...

Your lucky, Ive had mine about 5 months now and its still making that annoying noise. Ive had it into the garage and its still doing it. The only thing i can think of is changing the pads and discs but thats gonna be expensive. The car since ive had it has done 6000 miles so brakes should be...

Hey, Havnt noticed this thread till now. I have an alien green 200......i think its great. Its the only green one in my area. the rest ive seen are all white. But i think the green only looks good out in the open. seeing it in the showroom just doesnt do it justice. Its a fantastic car!

Yeah i agree totally, Ive seen too many of these arguments break out over the nose and the plastic exhausts. They bodykits look good on both the 197 and the 200......i just prefer the 200. The colours can be touch and go. When i saw the alien green on film i loved it.....in the showroom its...

Theres nothing wrong with the nose......its a fantastic car

Hey guys, Been searching through the forums for information on induction kits. Good and bad views etc. Seem to have found the info im looking for but would like to ask one more question. Are there any 200 owners on here that have had one fitted and have you noticed a change? Even if its...

I must admit i cant say much, i like both the 197 and the 200. Both great looking cars and from what i can make of them both fantastic cars. But when i went to actually see them both it was the 200 that pinched it to the post. I prefer the facelifts from the older car. Also it extremely quick...

I take it your not a fan of the 200 then?

Just a quick question for everyone. Does anyone know if the engine in the clio 197 is the same engine as the clio 200? If not anyone know the main differences? Cheers

Hey guys, Well im looking for someones help. Ive just got the cash together to fit myself a new spoiler. Already picked it out etc. My problem is i dont know any good renault dealers that will be able to fit it. Does anyone know any good dealers in the north west england or the south...

Hey guys Does anyone know what sort of brake pads are fitted to the clio 197/200? After a few thousand miles ive noticed that they are still squealing a bit. Only under light/moderate braking. They must be a tougher pad.....like green pads? Cheers Guys Mike

has anyone reported problems with the renault standard radio? Its just i was out earlier and i put a cd in the radio. It took it then said error. I tried to eject the cd but it said that there was no cd inserted. It sorted itself out after a while, has anyone else had this? Is it...

I bought mine twice from two different dealers, Clio 200 Alien green with Cup chasis and a few extras, was even lucky enough to get carpets!!!!!! never had that from a dealer lol First price was £15995 from a renault dealer But they went bust and sold the car at auction The car people in...

Anyone know any good Renault service places in the south west of scotland? Mainly in Dumfries and galloway. Im afraid to use Arnold clark due to their rep up here and past personal experiences with the company. Many thanks Mike

Hey Guys Need some help deciding. I have a clio 200 in alien green. Im looking to tint the rear windows and also put a spoiler on it. Has anyone got a spoiler on theirs? If so does it finish the car off well? I know its gonna cost about £450 to get but just wondering. cheers Mike

hmmm....thats cool, i was just curious because i know its an average. So ive gotten more and less than that. But coming back from Edinburgh yesterday i made use of the Speed limiter and cruise control to see what maximum i could get. sticking between 65-70 ish on motorways then around 45-50 on...

Cool, it does only seem to be when its warming up. But hey if its a character flaw then its one that i can live with cos so far i still love the car. Its a great little runner.

Hey Guys, This is mainly a curious question, whats the highest MPG people have gotten in a 200? Mine is currently at 29.5 and ive worked dam hard to get that lol Im not complaining of course but was just wondering. Has anyone gotten to the 30's yet? Cheers Mike

Ive started to experience something unusual. When im driving in 1st or 2nd gear sometime the car tend to chug a little. Even tho ive brought my foot completely off the clutch and am just speeding up a little. Has anyone else experienced this? is it normal? Cheers Mike

No mate im from Dumfries in scotland. I travelled to wakefield just to collect it. Pics will come asap, hopefully tomorrow

Well guys i joined you approx 1 month ago saying i would be getting a clio 200 within 1 week of submitting my hello to everyone. Lets just say i just got back less than an hour ago with my new clio 200. this is a break down of my last month with this car. December 20th i successfully paid...

I agree...in no way shape or form is the clio slow. I think even tho ive bought a car that at first i didnt like that much i still think its the right one. The only reason i didnt like it was because its a renault. However it impressed me that much that i feel in love with the car itself. My...

One newbie saying hi to another newbie.......hey!

Luckily i have a very open mind....I think that given a few months ill start to come around to the clio. Lets just say i didnt wanna rag it on the test drive so im not too sure about its full potential. I think what first drew me too the clio was quite simply nothing.....it was actually a...

Oh yes the clio and Smart cars are very very different cars. The clio is a hot hatch The smart roadster is Sports car....plus all the sports car problems. Its Mid engined and rear wheel drive.....not good on snow!!! lol As long as the clio doesnt leak im happy lol

lol i guess im not off to a good start.....i think my problem is that even tho i have had imense fun with the smart.....its been my only car for 3 years. Ive not known anything else. Im hoping the clio will show me just as good times as the smart car. Mind you it is riddled with problems. Merc...

The Smart Roadster is only 80bhp out the box. Mine is a Brabus version which is 101bhp out of the box. Re-tuned to 125bhp with uprated injectors and higher profile turbo. It still may be a bit slower than the clio.....achieving 0-60 in approx 8 seconds. However its still more fun than the clio...
