  • Stop lights up when handbrake is tightened

    Hello, I know the topic has already been discussed, but: I would like to buy a Clio 2 for the winter. I looked at one and in this case the stop lamp lights up when the hand brake is tightened, when driving or normal braking it does not light up. Can this light only occur when the hand brake is drawn? I also believe that the hand brake at the rear right does not really work, but only on the left. If this were to be done with new hand brake ropes or adjust the drum brake on the r real side done? mfg, Substances

  • Renault Clio 4 R.S Trophy Phase 1 second inspection

    Hello dear forum, I have the second inspection (40,000km). Unfortunately I only got the appointment in 3 weeks … I have to confess, I made the appointment also when my car pointed out to me. Now my question… I have to drive in the 3 weeks to Cologne (from Berlin) back and forth about 1,000km.. That means I will thus exceed the kilometers number in a maximum of 3,000km, so instead of 40,000km = 43,000km… is that bad for the engine? The car is not a Leasing vehicle i.e. with renault I do not get any problems! It is only about possible damage to the engine … the service of Renault could not answer the question. Hopefully you can help me Greet Fromlo

  • Battery completely empty – What’s wrong with the car?

    Hello everyone, my Clio (1.4 from 2001) does not jump any more after he has been standing for 3.5 weeks. Over Christmas he had already been standing for 3 weeks. In the unusually two weeks in between he started and drove without any problems. When turning the Zuendschluessel nothing does anymore (even no “click” and the bridge with a functional battery did not work yesterday either (not the slightest noise). Can a battery be so empty that the car auc Is it possible to charge the battery overnight with a charger? (Can I easily expand the battery? And if so, how?) Or do I just have to buy a new one directly? Can it be on the battery alone at all, since the car was standing for so long in a row? It was standing and standing in South Africa, where summer is now – so it is not in winter. Or does this point to another car? Because I bought the car used, I’m not sure, but I think that the battery is now almost 2 – 3 years old. Can I just leave the car just like it is until I can care about it? (run on crucks at the moment…) Or is it bad for the car and/or the engine to leave it standing even longer? Thank you for any answer, Anne.

  • Motor-total damage due to water in the oil

    An engine-total damage that I absolutely can’t explain, brought me to this forum, hoping to find answers and help here.. I drive, or better drove, a Clio 1.2 16 Dynamique EZ 03/2005 with an annual mileage of 8000 km., current speedometer 49100 km. The car was regularly maintained, last in June last year (with oil change) and the TÜV was issued again at the beginning of December 2009 without defects. So far the car drove without problems or Schwi Last Sunday the oil pressure indicator lit up without any apparent reason. A check of the oil level revealed nothing bad, enough oil was in it. Nevertheless, I left the car standing and had it to be towed to the Renault workshop. The check revealed that the water in the oil is pre-composed. And it was quite a lot, almost a third should have been. It should be condensation water???? How can something be like that??? The lubrication was no longer available, it was known. I’m a technical layman and I can’t explain to myself that 7 months after the last maintenance, with oil changes, there should be so much water in the oil cycle that it caused this engine damage. Has there ever been a problem with Renault, or can anyone explain this mystery to me? Thank you!

  • What needs to be maintained regularly?

    I have a Clio 3, bj 2007. He has already run quite a lot, to the 60,000. What do I have to change regularly, fill up etc, so that he stays in top shot? So far I pour from time to time oil, once it has been completely changed and refueled I can well *laugh* Then also immediately the next question: Which oil should I tip in best? I now have such a cheap product, 5 W 40 . I hope on many Antowrten and the he r me again as great as last time help 😉 Would be nice if you answered quite extensively, so that the poor car really doesn’t collapse under me, because I forget something 😉

  • Clio 1.2 16 V high fuel consumption

    Hello, I’ve been driving Clio 1.2 16V 75 hp since just under a year. 2001 88000km I found that I have a very high fuel consumption After my research I have a 50 liter tank, and if I drive normally I get about 600 km far, that’s about 12 liters to 100 km and that for a small car driving another Opel with a 2.0 16V I need only about 8 liters Is the fuel consumption normal with the French, or is there a problem???

  • Oil change at the Renault Clio after 1 year, at the Dacia Sandero only after 2 years required……

    What irritates me at the moment is the fact that a much shorter oil exchange interval is required for the Renault Clio than for the Dacia Sandero: Renault Clio: 1 year or 15000 km Dacia Sandero: 2 years or 30000 km This looks like a money tailoring for me in the case of the Renault Clio, because the Dacia Sandero is equipped with the same engine as in the Renault Clio. In any case, you have to comply with the oil exchange intervals in order not to lose the factory guarantee, that Renault knows after all What do you think about it? Merry Christmas and Greetings, Roland

  • Clio sometimes goes off when starting, cold problem

    Hello together, I hope someone can help me. Car is a Clio 3 BJ 2006 and the 1.6 16V with 88hp. If it’s temperatures above 15 degrees I have no problem, if it’s colder I have the following problem. I start the engine (runs always without problems), then it stops 1000 revolutions and with once it slams down to 500 revolutions, either it stutters around or goes out (if it goes out it jumps immediately again) then it swings or jerks while driving something, until e r was (so about 5 minutes drive) then it runs perfectly, even if I start the car in warm condition then it runs without any problems.The following I have already done. – new throttle valve – throttle valve cleaned. – New service (air filter, oil, spark plugs) – battery measured (12.6V when running 14.2V) I don’t know anymore, camshaft sensor can’t be, because it always starts without problems. Can it be a coolant sensor? Did anyone ever have the problem?
