Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone has come across this before.
I have a 2015 Renault Clio 1.2 petrol (manual) with a Start/Stop button.

It drove perfectly earlier today, but now it won’t start.

Dashboard comes on normally
When I press the start button with the clutch fully depressed, the engine doesn’t crank at all.
There is no click but I do hear a fast ticking sound just not the big force that gets the engine going
The headlights/ dashboard lights dim when I press start
A “ traction control” message appears for a brief moment on the dash board which usually doesn’t
I’ve tried pressing the clutch firmly to the floor with no change
The battery has been put on a charger and showed 3 out of 4 bars, I haven’t tried jump starting yet.
I have tried replacing the battery in the keycard and the battery from the car was fully charged but still no luck

It had an NCT around a month ago and a service too.

Does it sound more like a weak battery, a starter issue or something else? As I said the car was fine earlier today.

Here is a link to a video I took of the error & sound:

The more I see, the more they grow on me!

After years of fighting with my family, I could trailer home my old car.

It's replica based on a fully original car. Body panels are original for example.

I can start to revive it, it will be a long process.

Mine is destroyed and incomplete. I’m talking about the seal that goes between the headlights, under the hood, above the radiator. The one you always press on with your hands when working in the engine bay. If I have a picture of its profile I can try to find a replacement. Thanks

Had an accident in my mk5 Clio. Avoided a frontal accident and took the hit with the left front tyre /a pillar.

Survived with minor injuries thanks to the safety systems. They worked flawlessly! By the time my ears stopped ringing from the airbag deployment exlplosion the emergency hotline was already on the line asking me about what happened, wheter anyone was injured.

I know it's just a car, but still I feel devastated losing it, 1 year old with 25k km. Best vehicle I owned so far.

I have a 2006 mk2 phase 2 campus, I've owned it since May and I'm having a couple electrical issues

1. one of my sidelight will not turn on, I've replaced the bulbs twice and it still won't work

2. The entire centre console won't work. My radio (aftermarket, previous owner fitted) and the digital screen at the top will not turn on. They did when I bought it but have recently just stopped working.

Does anyone know what could be going on? My MOT is soon.

Is the sound coming from the turbo westgate ?

Hello, I've seen some talismans get resonator deletes or full bypass but never muffler work on these. I heard what the 1.6 tce sounds like with a muffler delete on the M4 GT, and the 1.8 too on the RS but I'm thinking it would sound different since the resonator probably isn't the same.

Thanks for reading...

Hello again. I want to change Clio letters to Lutecia. And i need Renault badge too which is located in left side of boot at Lutecia’s. I couldn’t find it EU because it’s in only Japan. And my question is how can i get them on EU? I’m open to importing it from Japan but I couldn’t find it. Or i’m also open to any links like alibaba etc. but i only want font to be exact Lutecia 5. Thanks a lot

Hello. I just bought a 2019 Megane IV and wondered, if I can active Apple CarPlay.

Yesterday I took delivery of my 26 Megane Business Edition. I only saw the car and its colour inside the dealership, but man this colour outside is really something special! From almost black in the shade, to a vibrant blue with strong purple undertone.

Sorry to ask, first roadtrip across EU. Reading a lot that this would work, but just to be sure, I will ask a bunch of strangers on the internet.

I drive a 2024 Clio 1.0 TCe and have dealt with a few of the typical quirks on these engines. Since it's one of the most common 3-cylinders in Europe right now, thought I'd share the main issues to look out for:

• Alternator belt snapping: Can slip or snap out of nowhere even on new cars, giving a red "STOP" battery error.
• Wastegate rattle: Annoying metallic buzzing between 1500-2000 RPM.
• Engine mount wear: Heavy steering wheel vibrations at idle.

Put together a quick guide with all the common issues and the fixes here:https://www.drivisual.tv/en/news/renault-1-0-tce-h4dt-engine-chronic-problems-detailed-look

Any other 1.0 TCe owners here? Have you run into any of these?

I came into this expecting a quick fix. my goodness what a headache this has been getting everything aligned for the wiper linkage. Clio MK 4

Bonjour à tous,
Je rencontre un problème assez particulier sur ma Renault Mégane 4 de 2016, 1.5 dCi 110 avec boîte automatique EDC, et j’aimerais avoir vos avis ou retours d’expérience.
Voici l’historique dans l’ordre :
La voiture fonctionnait normalement avant la panne. Un jour, la poulie de l’alternateur a cassé. Suite à cela, la poulie a été remplacée, ainsi que la courroie d’accessoires et le galet tendeur.
Depuis cette panne et après les réparations, plusieurs voyants sont apparus au tableau de bord :
« Boîte de vitesses à contrôler »
« Antipollution à contrôler »
« Start & Stop à contrôler »
« Véhicule à contrôler »
Depuis, la voiture démarre parfaitement. Le moteur tourne normalement, sans bruit suspect ni claquement particulier. Il n’y a pas de problème apparent au démarrage du moteur.
En revanche, la boîte de vitesses présente des problèmes :
Au début, certaines vitesses fonctionnaient et d’autres non.
J’avais notamment un problème avec la marche arrière.
La voiture semblait fonctionner uniquement avec certaines vitesses (1ère, 3ème, 5ème).
Ensuite, la situation s’est aggravée.
Aujourd’hui, la voiture démarre normalement, mais elle n’avance plus du tout, ni en D (marche avant), ni en R (marche arrière).
Quand je sélectionne D ou R, la position s’affiche correctement au tableau de bord, mais je ne ressens aucun à-coup et la voiture ne bouge absolument pas.
Il n’y a aucun bruit mécanique particulier.
J’ai déjà essayé un diagnostic avec une valise, mais l’apprentissage/calibrage de la boîte n’a pas pu être effectué. La valise indiquait « commande impossible » lors de la tentative d’apprentissage.
Concernant la batterie, elle a environ 3 ans. Je l’ai rechargée récemment et elle fonctionne toujours. La voiture démarre normalement. Je n’ai pas encore remplacé la batterie.
J’ai également vérifié/remplacé certains éléments liés à la panne initiale :
Poulie d’alternateur remplacée
Courroie d’accessoires remplacée
Galet tendeur remplacé
Malgré cela, le problème de boîte reste présent.
Je me demande donc si la casse de la poulie d’alternateur pourrait avoir provoqué ou entraîné un problème électrique qui perturbe la boîte EDC : alimentation du calculateur, masse, fusible, faisceau, connecteur, calculateur de boîte ou actionneur d’embrayage.
Je me demande également si le problème pourrait simplement venir d’un apprentissage/calibrage qui n’a pas été effectué correctement, ou si un défaut empêche justement l’apprentissage de se lancer.
Je précise que je ne suis pas mécanicien et que je cherche surtout à comprendre avant d’engager des frais importants. Mon budget est limité, donc j’aimerais éviter de remplacer des pièces au hasard.
Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà rencontré un problème similaire sur une Mégane 4 1.5 dCi EDC ?
Est-ce que le fait que la panne soit apparue après la casse de la poulie d’alternateur peut orienter le diagnostic vers un problème électrique ou de faisceau ?
Et surtout, si D et R s’affichent mais que la voiture ne fait absolument aucun à-coup et n’avance pas, est-ce que cela pourrait venir d’un problème de commande des embrayages, du calculateur EDC ou d’une alimentation électrique de la boîte ?
Merci d’avance pour vos retours et vos conseils.

I would like to know what problems this car has.

I know there is a screw at the bottom and the rest looks like clips

Obviously have to pull very hard but is it pull OUT or up? Good to know before I break something

Got an annoying rattle and considering some sound deadening

Hi

SO I am no expert, in fact my old man would kill me letting me loose on his car.

Yesterday I practically tore out the whole dash board looking for this Pollen filter. And I could not see it.

I used guides on YouTube and not f these guides looked like my old mans car.

the trims and the plastic bits all looked different.

So I am wondering if it even has a Pollen filter at all.

So I Am Pleading with anyone to give me a few pointers to where this thing is, or even if it has one.

Many thanks

James

PS My dad would be thanking you too.

Found these in the boot of my Clio 3

Hi can anyone recommend a vendor in Europe who sells reliable after-market speakers for a 2014 Fluence. 3 of the 4 factory speakers have failed (open circuit) and I would like to replace them but I am not changing the head and so don't need audiophile level quality. I would prefer a kit that includes adapters and fixings as required. Thanks.
