  • Clio IV Initiale Paris Phase II

    Hello yesterday, we exchanged our Clio IV TCe90 for the Clio IV Initiale Paris Phase 2. The phase 2 has changed positively to the predecessor. Find the lights from the outside with front bumper more harmonious. The LED lights have become really beautiful with daytime running light at the front and at the rear. Otherwise the Clio Initale Paris is already a great car, very great materials in the interior, also the 6 gear switch impeccable. My wife is totally enthusiastic. yesterday everything was done right. Colour it was the Taupe beige, engine of the TCe120, I can’t say anything about it has only had 15 kilometers on the clock. The climate automatic really heats class compared to the predecessor. Difference like day and night, our Clio also has the new refrigerant. So at the end still some photos.

  • Buying Renault Clio 4 1.5 Cdi – known deficiency will make after all more expensive and unknown deficiency, what?

    Hello together, I bought the above car yesterday. EZ 10/14, 124,000 km. However, the vehicle has not yet been handed over to me because it has French papers and only had to be handed over by the TÜV. Since the air nozzle (center) 2 of the air grilles are defective (so not to be closed anymore) I have received a price discount. Also in the tender there were features/equipment which are not available. (Alufelgen – not available, CD player – not available, 6-speed- Now the vehicle was today at TÜV Rheinland and did not get a TÜV. Obviously, on one side a load joint is defective which has to be replaced. Then I researched a little bit and came up with the following:”Leading and carrying joints belong to the safety-relevant components, therefore no one should succumb to the temptation to buy such parts for 4.99 Euro. In this price range the parts consist of usually bi llige cast iron, therefore, are already at risk of breaking even with moderate load. From 15 euros there is solid branded goods; a complete crossbar including all bearings starts at 80 euros. Important: After working on wheeled parts, an axle measurement is always required! Costs: Depending on the vehicle from 70 euros. Therefore, you should always have all carrying or guide joints of an axle changed at once. If one side is defective, the second usually follows a few kilometers later. Summa summarum comes In the best case, for example with a Golf IV or V, with 200 euros of it. For models with elaborate front axles, for example with the Audi A4, one is included with complete overtaking set with about 700 euros.” I then wrote to the dealer again whether both sides are made then or whether it falls under the liability for material defects, if the other side also breaks in the foreseeable future. (So far no answer was received). Also, I found that this air nozzle does not o easy to get is except you get it directly from Renault for 300 €. Now I am thinking about whether I should/can withdraw from the purchase, since the vehicle has not really gone into my possession or how I should behave in general. Can someone give me any tips? For your help/response in advance best thanks. LG Sunny

  • BCM (UCH) ECU defect or yet the Airbag ECU?

    Hi, I’m new here and I have a complex question. After I actually wanted to sell my vehicle, I decided to keep it and therefore recently left it at the workshop. At about 136,000km the long overdue timing belt change was on and the clutch was replaced. Shortly after, the vehicle could not be locked because the vehicle indicated that doors were open. In addition, the warning indicators went to although nothing was activated. Manually from the inside it can be closed with a long pressing of the button but. When I recently went to the car again after a few days the battery was suddenly completely empty. after I had recharged the battery and connected it directly the warning flashing system went on. That was apparently the reason for the empty battery. following errors existed already before or exist since the latest. 1. Windscreen wipers did not function sporadically or only in the s 2. Doors or trunk flaps get signal to open. (This error existed before, but only sporadically occurred. Feels always when it rained heavily before. Since the latest the signal comes almost continuously and the doors can no longer be locked with the radio key since the latest.) 3. Warning flashing system turns on, even without ignition (I know that which must go without ignition, but can be switched off again via the switch with one-time operation. However, this has not yet happened while driving. (error is new) 4. Interior lighting only works sporadically. (Here I don’t know how new the error is) 5. Autoradio turns on again during the drive off and after a few seconds. (error is new) I had read somewhere that this combination can occur if either the BCM control gear can occur. t is defective or it gets a wrong impact signal from the airbag control unit. However, because the airbag control light did NOT light up I had started from the BCM. the following log spat out my China ELM. However, at the first read out I had not thought that I had taken the battery and therefore got the following: 1.

  • Electronic problems Clio II EZ 06.2003

    Dear community, last week I was buying a car with my niece… It was supposed to be a Clio. 1.5 dci from 2003 with just 70tkm on the clock. Cars top, because garage vehicle. And even with the really extensive test drive we found nothing eye-catching. I also paid special attention to electronics problems, because I know that Renault has problems here often. Landstr, highway, city. Over half an hour everything up to the display in the center console. In the car As my niece wanted a hands-free system, we agreed on the original radio. During the week everything was in good order. This morning we met then wg Radiokauf and the car suddenly causes problems. Sporadic then windshield wipers, turn signal/warning turn signal, window lifter and also the central lock out. And just as sporadic as they failed, they then went out of place. ch again… At first I suspected a marten, but everything looks great in the engine compartment. Then I went on to search. Everywhere I knocked on it, or the original radio was removed to see what happened. I had the impression that if I released the yellow plug from the steering wheel remote control, then it gets better. But even without the error appeared. One also stops from the direction of the driver door again and again a relay, although nothing was controlled. only difference to the test drive last Sunday was that it rained this morning and as I said, the original radio was reinstalled. Does anyone have any idea where the error might come from? Thank you Zwacke

  • Clio 4 – StartStop, PDC, reversing light, starting aid defective

    Hi Together, I drive a Renault Clio from 2018 and have for about a year a defective at the Park Distance Controll and the rear driving light, which can not be fixed so far and no one has an idea where to start. Maybe there is someone among you who has an idea about it. The following is my topic: the PDC fails again and again (I notice the missing beeping at the back driving). At the same time the rear driving light is also without function (very unfavorable, since no one else If I want to drive backwards) Every time this error occurs, the Start Stop Automatic and start-up aid on the mountain also fails shortly afterwards. However, only when mN drives approx. 60km on the highway at a distance. Initially the securing of the PDC was renewed during the maintenance and the thing ran for about 6 months. Then the same error. First no PDC and the return light no longer shines. Then after approx. 60km, spontaneously also the Start Stop Automatic + start-up aid on the mountain a This time the whole 4 weeks was held. Same topic as before. I changed the third fuse then sslber. But only one more afternoon. Then again in another workshop. There the return switch was renewed and new fuse was installed. This worked whole 24 hours… I gave the Clio again for three weeks in the workshop, but no one dirt has even an idea what it could be. I hope e on your expertise and I am grateful for every hint. Best regards Jessi

  • Renew drive shaft right wheel side

    Hello dear people. And again I need a professional advice. First of all to the car. It’s about a Renault Clio EZ.: 12/98 Zu2: 3004 Zu3:567 1.4 liter engine. So I should look at the car because a clear pulsation in the brake pedal is noticeable and also audible. Well you have heard that it actually comes from the front right. So wheel down brake tested everything chic. When turning on the brake disc then determined that the ABS ring is missing a piece. Funny way no ABS shines and nothing but that can only be to say this carefully. Well now looking for how to change the drive shaft joint best. Unfortunately, I always find only how to change an Achsmannschette and there is always only mentioned that you should extend the complete shaft and then from the gearbox side the Achsmannschette for the wheel side should push over it. But now I have to change the whole joint. Now I ask myself that you can even nic like any other manufacturer, does “knock” off the shaft? Do I have to change a complete drive shaft or does the joint change?? And would be nice if someone knew the suit value for the wheel bearing. I thank you already in advance. Mfg Sascha

  • Clio 1 – No power in 5th gear from approx. 80km/h

    Hello helpful people, I’ve already used the SuFu and I haven’t found my problem yet, so I hope there’s someone who can help. Renault Clio 1 from 1996 1149 cc engine capacity 40KW/54PS code to (2): 3004 code to D.2 with test number: 76000A 4 I can record an acute performance crash in 5th gear. It occurs at speeds from about 80km/h and has the consequence that the car takes about 40-50 seconds to accelerate from 80 km/h to 100 km/h in lead At 100 km/h (downhill also 115 km/h) is however finished! The problem is apparently independent of speed, because in lower gears at the same speed problem occurs. In other words: In urban traffic and low speeds in the 5th gear the problem does not exist. Furthermore, the car jerks. It just does not bring any power. The gearbox also sounds striking and it grinds or knocks. Neither audible nor as vibration in the gear knob. iten of >50km/h you hear a quiet squeaking (from the feeling I say from behind) that stops as soon as I brake. Whether this is related I do not know but every info is certainly important. Please ask if you need more information! I hope someone can help me or tell me what I could test. Already he-googled I have things like: What would you type and above all: How do I test this?! I thank you all in advance and wish you a nice day, Tobias

  • Clio RN – Audio upgrade – What do I need?

    I greet you in advance I have to say that I am a newcomer to auto-tuning or carhifi tuning. my world belongs much more to juggling bits&bytes, i.e. software developers. so much more 🙂 so. I got an old car, the renault clio 1.4 RN and now I want to put power in the box. I thought about a cost-effective solution but still something fine and juicy. in the car everything is in the original condition, that means hifi moderately scrap. what I want to know now, what do I need to get in a decent sound? I thought of the following: – CD/MP3 Player – Final Level – 2 Boxes (For Back) – Subwoofer Is this so far right or do I need more stuff? Should this be the case now. What exactly do I have to pay attention to when buying, so that the components are well coordinated? I mean, does it matter if the purchased CD player has 4x 50W and the final level then 4x 100W(sinus)? Does it matter if the subwoofer more le istung has as the end stage, the whole again with the boxes? etc. etc. So what do I have to pay attention to when buying the end stage? What do I have to pay attention to when buying the boxes, the subwoofer? And what do I have to pay attention to with the CD player?

  • Clio’s cylinder head gasket?

    Hello Sportsfriends, my Clio, 1.2 Rn, Bj 92, constantly loses water, sometimes there is white water vapor in the exhaust gas (even with warm engine), sometimes starts off badly or mostly has not the full power. Do you think that could be the Zyl. head gasket? Would you like to replace it yourself, had changed half the car on my golf, but I have never disassembled the engine. What do you think is this as a talented, advanced hobbyist with numerous tools ( And with the book “now I help myself” to create? What do I have to pay attention to? Which seals do I need and where do I get them as cheaply as possible? Who can share his experiences with me in his exchange of poetry, and what problems do I have to pay attention to? Just, don’t be afraid of writing, I am happy about every helpful word and thank you very much.
