My DCI 65

[clio172jay]

Hi guys im relatively new to Renaults but ive had mostly Peugeot or citroen cars in the past . I did once own a clio 172 but is was costing me a forture as I had the car for about 3 weeks and it spent 2 weeks of that in the garage been fixed .
But I have just recently swapped my 106 gti for a clio dci 65hp extreme 4 . it does have a few problems which im hoping to get help with on here.
correctly I it wont start,turns over but wont fire . but bumps. and when putting ur foot down or going up an hill warning lights come on the dashboard .

Injector/seal

I had the dreaded problem on my old MK2 DCI 80 where lights come on when belting it or going uphill, was an absolute pain and i never cured it! Changed nearly everything and also had all injectors refurbed, only thing i didnt change was the fuel pump as they cost a bomb and was not worth forking more money into the car so ended up part ex'ing it.

As said above its worth taking a look over the injectors as the seals are known to fail, you will notice a lot of gunk around the injectors that are affected, best changing the whole lot of seals and depending on how gunked up they are the injector may need replacing or refurbishment if you can find a diesel specialist who can do this for you.

As its throwing up lights your best bet is to get a diagnostic done and take it from there bud.

those lights sometimes wont fault code , but its certainly fuel/boost related
millage is a big indicator on wether the injectors have had it or not. fuel pumps are hit and miss, some fial and some live on for hundreds of thousands miles.

go for the cheapest fixs ( trys ) first. fuel filter change, and injector seals if black deposits are around the injectors.

cut your old fuel filter in half and pour the content into a jar, place a magnet at the bottom on the outside, and if metal particals show in the fluid, the pump is on its way out.

now, i had those lights come on, and it turned out to be overboost cutoff, this was when my original turbo was starting to go, overboosting and forcing the ecu to cut back fuel before problems happen.
