Hi, I have trawled the internet and see it is a common problem in Clio's not starting. The problem with my Clio is that it wont start when I first try to start it, whether it is in the morning, afternoon or night. The ignition turns over fine the engine simply won't kick in. If I leave for anything between a couple to 15 mins it eventually fires up? This doesn't happen everyday but it's becoming more regular about every five days or so now before it was once in a blue moon. The car was serviced in January so I thought coils and things would be ok? Can anybody give me any ideas please???

Welcome to the forum. Often during a service parts are only replaced if stipulated.

Is the immobilliser light staying on?

If not check the TDC sensor.

re: clio non-starter

Hi, thanks for your advice and hi to you too I will check but the immobiliser light doesn't stay on all the time if that is what you mean? Although I have been advice to perhaps change my battery in my key fob?

Kind regards

It may not hurt if it's been in there for a while.
