Having gone from a Clio Trophy to a 200 my thinking is this...
My main issue with the 200 is, that for the performance you're getting the fuel economy isn't great.
Having said that, my car is 3.5 years old with 25k and on its original box. I also can't think of anything that I'd change it for...
I had this on my 200, as Fred said, had to get new cambelt and tensioner to cure it.
There was a thread about it here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showt...=clio+200+belt
A lot of them do sound like that but they shouldn't! Mine now doesn't make the noise and it sounds normal - all you I can now hear is the injectors. I'll post a video of what it sounds like now tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure Renault know exactly what the problem is... I'd advise taking it to the...
That was the thread I started: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showt...=clio+200+belt
Yours sounds exactly like mine did in the early stages, but it did eventually get louder. It also only did it when the engine was warm and at idle.
Take it back!!! Don't let them fob you off that it just...
Thought it was time I updated this...
After hearing peoples advice on here I booked the car into Reno so they could get a technician to take a look at it. I then stupidly cancelled the appointment as I thought the noise was quite minor and not making it all the time.
Roll on to last month and...
Can anyone let me know if I need to take my wheels off to remove the centre caps., or can this be done with them still on the car?
Need to remove them to paint them so they match my new wheels.
Wheels they're on are the "standard" Clio 200 ones.
Thanks
When I found mine was making a noise, it was your post I found on 200.net and it sounded exactly the same. Just didn't want to post the vid on your thread and spam it.
I am going to go to Reno about this, I'll let you know how I get on.
Be good to hear what your's sounds like!
Thanks for the quick replies guys.
Fred - sorry to sound thick, but why would the tensioner be hitting its stops anyway?
Definitely hasn't always made this noise, only started doing it recently.
Hi,
The other night I noticed my 200 sounded a bit different to usual. Not so much the tappets but the underlying higher pitch and less frequent tapping noise.
I made a video of it here, the car is warm BTW:
Car is a bog standard 200 with just over 13500 miles. Was last serviced about 2000...
Evening All,
Took the 200 for its first service today - all good and they sorted out a few minor niggles.
They also said I need a new fog light as the lens on one of mine is cracked. Just wondering if anyone knew if you could source the lenses on their own or cheaper supplier of the light...
Evening All,
Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this?
When I depress the clutch I get a a clicking noise coming from the clutch pedal, or maybe cable. Not there all the time but getting more and more frequent. Is a metal sounding click like something is not seating properly and...
I wanted the Speedlines on mine, but because it was already at the port they weren't able to do it.
Seats they can change apparently, but wheels are an option that have to be fitted from the factory!
Does anyone know the paint code or an existing colour that matches for the normal anthracite alloys on the Clio 200?
I've just lightly rubbed one of mine up against the bloody curb but it should look OK if I touch it in with a bit of paint as it is only a tiny bit on one spoke.
Should really...
Cheers for all the replies guys.
Lots of different opinions but I know which route I'm going to go down -taking the back roads home after work tonight!
Evening everyone,
I've got a new Clio 200, the dealer said I shouldn't not rev it past 3,500 for the 650 which I have now done.
Question is what should I do now? Am I OK to give it some beans now or do I need to raise the rev limit gradually? Any advice greatly received.
Cheers,
Patrick
Hi,
Just a quick question is the steering wheel on the 200 the same as the one on the 197?
Reason I ask is because I want to get a Renaultsport badge to finish it off and the one on the K-Tec site say it fits a 197, there is no mention of it fitting the 200 too.
Cheers
I had exactly the same problem when I fitted a different wheel to my 182.
I took it to Rentech in Portsmouth who said I needed a new steering angle sensor as I had moved it when fitting the new wheel which makes the lights come on as moving it has confused it. I don't think it is that much...
I had a rattle/squeak when I went over bumps and round corners coming my Trophy drivers seat.
Annoyed me so much I took the seat out the other day and found out the problem was a pound coin and a couple of ten pence coins that had got into the plastic bit behind the seat and moving about. Not...
I have this K-Tec sport cat here: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1265
This is fitted to the original 182 exhaust and is meant to be a direct replacement part.
Cheers for the reply mate, I am based in Oxford.
Rattle only happens when seat is moved back and forth and over bumps! Really sounds like it is in seat runners, are they easy to remove?
Cheers
Hi,
Posted this over on the cliotrophy forum the other week but I still can't solve this problem so I thought if someone on hear might be able to help me!?
My drivers Recaro seat has started to develop a rattle. I've read various posts about this being a fault in the seat runners but does...
I have the original instructions scanned in for fitting an ITG Maxogen - if you want them just PM me your email address and I will send them to you.
As others have said, not that hard to fit BTW
Yes I did get this fixed thanks - I had to get a new steering wheel angle sensor for £100 plus as I damaged mine when fitting the new wheel.
I don't think the problem you are describing is the same as I had (unless your light is on). Sounds like you need to get someone to look at the steering...
Not sure if this helps mate but I had exactly the same problem with mine when it came to the MOT.
I have the same Cat as you and to get it through the emissions test they had to fit a new Lambda sensor (one on at the rear) and said it was on the omissions machine for 15 minutes before they got...
