Im kinda new here, but i've been lurking around for some time.
So, i have a '07 Clio 197, and i was driving today and heard a rattling noise on 3-4k rpm, and i dismissed it as a loose cat clamp on the exhaust (recently changed, had similar noise a while ago and it was the clamp), so i kept driving and after 4-5km the car shut off mid drive, i tried to restart it while moving but it did nothing, so i i pulled over and tried to start again, i heard rattling from the front where the airbox sits, it wouldn't start still, i checked if my air intake hose was loose but it was fine. Tried several times more but i ended up draining the battery.
Anyone had similar issues? A few days ago all electricals went crazy, wipers, asp etc etc, and i concluded it was a loose clamp on the battery, replaced it and didn't have issues till now. I tried reading ecu faults, nothing came up, reset the ecu, still nothing.
Do you think this could be electrical or im stuck with something like a snapped cam belt?
Edit: also i replaced the knock sensor recently, which didn't throw any faults, now it does, but i haven't checked it for about 2 weeks so im not sure if it's connected to this or not
