2005 Clio 182
Please can anyone help me shed some light on the issue i am trying to ammend with the misses recently purchased clio rxe.
its a mk2 ph1 1999 v reg 1.6 rxe manual.
It has its moments were it can drive 100% fine for hours and then its moments were it can cut all power whilst driving and not accelerate again until you full throttle it.
when it looses power it feels as if you have let of the throttle but sounds lumpy, but if you full throttle it it will clear up and accelerate.
then return to its lumpy self when you drive normally.
it can sometimes idle by itself and then sometimes jumps from extremes or 200rpm near enough stalling to aroun 1700rpm.
but does not miss fire if you throttle it?
it also sounds as if it is fueling really badly and pops and bangs like a decatted subaru, whilst drinking the petrol and sometimes smelling really rich.
it is not smoking and there is no mayonaise in the header tank, under oil filler or in the exhaust tips but the water is EXTREMELY DIRTY like a rust water colour.
it was purchased with dirty water so i couldnt say if that is new or signs towards headgasket?
I have replaced leads, sparkplugs and the fuel filter.
today i remembered about the self diagnostics clio's have built in.
it has( t--h one one of the screens so i am assuming they are the fault codes.
i have done some research and it would appear they mean injector fault for minimum of 4 seconds detected and oil sensor fault.
before i start throwing parts at it can anyone confirm i would be right in thinking it is a injector problem causing the above issues and that i should buy new ones or attempt to clean them ?
Thankyou to anyone who has read my huge essay and i really do appreciate any help i am given.
Thanks in advance
