I've a problem and hoping that someone could point me the right direction of the cause.

We was out in the bus (3.0 V6 1998) yesterday afternoon everything was fine until i went to kick down and the engine just shut down.

I pulled over and restarted it and it didn't sound very well at all.

Continued on and again went to to accelerate and again the engine cut out.

Pulled over and tried to restart it...nothing....for 20 minutes until I realised I was wasn't in 'Park':rolleyes: felt rather daft as you can imagine.

Anyway, now i restarted it and the engine management light lit up and pulling away was painfully slow....until we hit a hill and it refused to climb it....it did in the end, inches at a time.

Down hill it was fine, managed at least 25-30 once I'd built up a bit of speed...I drove home in the bus lanes because there's never any buses in them anyway as we all know.

The noise is present when in park, but worse when it's in gear.

Any ideas?

My first post here, hopefully someone here can help. Briefly, I have a MkI, pI laguna estate in the U.S. It originally came from Italy, and the owners manual is in Italian. I can't read Italian.

Car has 62k miles on it, runs great until tonight, when I came out of a restaurant and it would not start. Sounded like no fuel, so I pulled one of the hoses to the fuel rail and no fuel. Dry as a bone, in fact.

So, I'm wondering if anyone could tell me where the fuel pump relay and any inertia switches are. That way I can start troubleshooting.

Also, does anyone have or know where I could find a repair manual for this car? We haven't had Renaults in the States since about 1988 or so, and, needless to say, this is an extremely unique car over here.

Thanks in advance for any help! ]]> Engines BenPender http://www.renaultforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=93325 http://www.renaultforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=93324&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:44:04 GMT Hi,I've got a 51 plate Clio 1.2 16v and have just had these fault codes read as car not running right

I've had my clio for about a month now and i've noticed two things which are worrying me a bit

The first is when i'm above 20 mph (most noticable around 40/50) there is a loud humming noise from the front left part of the car. I thought it was tires as i got 2 new ones on the front but i dont think its that. someone else said maybe wheel bearings but i dont think its that either as if i press the clutch the noise stops straight away and returns when i take the clutch off ?

The second is around 30mph when engine braking it sounds a little rough, possibly like something needs lubricating (best way i can describe it is like an old ford escort or fiesta engine tappetts) I hope its nothing serious.. :confused:

The car is going in for a service and mot next week too is there anything on a diesel service that might help with the noises? :confused: The mechanic i go to is very reliable and have used him for many years so if there is something i can ask him to look at for me whilst its in i'll ask..

I have a 52 plate 1.2 16v Clio Expression and have had a few issues with it recently and wonder if you guys know anything that maybe causing it.

It started last night when I broke down, the car just kept turning over and would not start. The AA came to it and said it was the crank sensor they cleaned this and the car started and got me home and to the garage in the morning; however when I drove it to the garage the cars revs seemed to be fluctuating wildly, and often jumped 500.

I picked it up from the garage this evening and when I tried to start it it still was turning over. The mechanic pressed the accelerator whilst turning the key and the car stated. I drove it 500m up the road to my house and left it for an hour.

When I came to start it it had the same issue but when pressing the accelerator it would start. I then drove for around 13 miles (the vast majority on 60 roads without stopping) and the car had some issues pulling, it would feel sluggish and unresponsive for around 5 seconds and then be fine this happened only once or twice during the journey. Once I got into a local town and started having the stop and start the car got worse and then got stopped. I turned it off and on and the revs jumped to 1500 and then started to jump up and down slightly until it got to nothing. It was left for 10 minutes then started fine. The car was then left for an hour and drove the 13 miles home, it had more power issues on the way home and hit this power barrier once every 2 - 3 miles. It stopped again when I got home.

I've seen some similar issues on this forum and they've mentioned coils and throttle body cleaning as a solution to simiar issues. What do you lot reckon? Could this be related to the crank sensor? Also the electrical fault light has being on for the last few weeks.

I went to buy a locking fuel cap, but the man at Renault told me that on our one, the fuel flap locks with the doors. Well I've looked, and it doesn't, there's no solenoid, no mechanism to do this. So I'm thinking, there must be a model with a locking cap, I need that one. So my questions are;
1] Is there a Modus Diesel locking fuel cap?
2] Is the cap vented or non-vented?
3] How can the parts list specific to our car be so wrong?

what are your thoughts about the above, are they right to keep charging me even though they havent fixed the fault the 3 times they have had the car. oh and to top it off they offered me £500 in a part ex!

Firstly, thanks for your really helpful website - its been a big help in the past. Now to see if you can help with this!

Our car is a 54 plate Megane 1.9 DCi 120. It had displayed the 'check injection' message for a while and then the emissions light came on. Last Friday we took the car in to get 2 new glow plugs and the EGR valve cleaned out.

At first it was good-as-new. Now, the car is running fine above 2000 rpm but is very hesitant below that, to the point that is nearly stalling as we pull away. This problem was not there before the EGR valve was cleaned though it may just be coincidence. Under hard acceleration, the car has started depositing a line of 'soot' on the road. No warning lights/messages are showing.

I'd be much obliged for any advice or ideas anybody may have.

When starting from cold the engine fires immediately and runs smoothly. But when I try to use the accelarator it flat spots at 1500 revs and refuses to rev higher until the engine is warmer and remains hesitant until completely warm. The engine then runs perfectly.
I have tried fuel cleaning additives but I think it may be an air sensor or egr problem. Am I thinking along the right lines?

First post so my apologies if this has been covered but I have looked and can't see this anywhere else.

Recently purchased a 56 plate 225 cup and feel it doesn't make the BHP it should.

Best 0-60 I have recorded is 7.9 secs and it seems to run out of steam at 100. I can honestly say my 9 year old saxo VTR would not be far behind.

Didn't notice anything on the very short test drive. Car was serviced, MOT'd and RAC inspected before purchase and passed.

Concerned as I drove a 15 year old Volvo s40 t4 at work today and it was clearly faster and makes 22BHP less.

Engine sounds and runs smooth. Turbo is spooling as I can hear it whistle (quietly) and a slight dump from reticulation valve on gear change. Full and documented SH and 32k on the clock so low mileage.

Hoping someone may have a suggestion. Leaking pressure from the turbo? Or previous owner has had a very sedate map added. Anyone know if the fly by wire throttle can get muddled? It just feels like it isn't giving it's all.

Hoping it's an easy fix whatever.

Any advise appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi - I bought this car at auction last week for £1200, it has 85000 miles on the clock and there is not a mark on it. There is 8 months MOT on it and it was serviced in June, tyres are great so i thought i was quids in. How wrong could i be? When i drove it away it was sluggish for 5 minutes then drove fine for the 30 mile journey home. The next morning when i started it it was like kangaroo petrol, there was no power from the accelarator and i needed to rev to 4000 to move. On the motorway it struggled to get to 80 then 2 mins later it went to over 90 and i felt i could have got more, hovever even at this speed it still "held back" every 10 seconds. Today the revs went crazy, over 4000 when the car started, I am concerned that i've bought the proverbial pig in a poke. I have searched other threads and found out about the throttle body etc, my toxic light also came on but no EML. How much is this going to cost to fix? I have around 150 - 200 max that i can spend, am i better putting it back to auction? ]]> Engines zebedee http://www.renaultforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=93187 http://www.renaultforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=93184&goto=newpost Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:37:26 GMT Hello out there.

After fighting with the torx disc retention screw on the passenger-side brake disc, got the discs and pads done yesterday evening/this morning (see post on 'wheels' forum ref caliper bolts).

I have spent a small fortune on new driveshaft, gear pullers, ball joint separators, impact drivers, etc (have not done much previous maintenance so have not previously needed these tools).

And now I just CANNOT shift the driveshaft retention bolt! I haven't got a very big hammer, but using my impact drive with my biggest hammer is rotating the impact driver round, but not moving the socket at all! The Haynes manual makes no mention of a left-hand thread or anything, so I'm assuming anti-clockwise is the right direction to turn to remove the nut.

Is this a common issue, or have any experienced folk got any ideas? I expected it to be tight, but not this tight!

I'm giving it up as a bad job for this weekend, my car is still in one piece but I don't need it this week anyway.

Also, those of you who have done this yourselves, do you all re-tighten the (new) nut to the Haynes-recommended torque of 280Nm? That is a LOT (although I do appreciate the significance of keeping this joint secure!). ]]> Engines clio83 http://www.renaultforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=93172 http://www.renaultforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=93168&goto=newpost Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:12:03 GMT I don't suppose any one has a picture of a D4F sump?

I recently had to take mine off, having put it back on, I'm not sure if I have lost bolt.

The sump has approximately 10 smallish bolts connecting the sump to the engine block and 2 or 3 largish bolts connecting the sump to the clutch case/cover. I have 2 but I'm not sure if I removed 3, if anyone can tell me how many there should be that would be great....

I am so ****ed off at myself for this. I'm usually very meticulous, and now that I felt a little under the weather I didn't follow my usual regime.

So the big question, how bad is it?
Because I really don't feel like draining the oil to the correct level. Like I said it's half centimeter over.
