Hi there, just a novice question on oil. My car is running well again after a throttle body replacement (credit to this forum!). Now looking at an oil change and trying to decide between 5w40 or 0w40. Note that I'm living in a tropical country so cold starts shouldn't be much of a problem. Which...

Greetings, So I've posted previously about a problem I'm getting frequently with the car going into limp mode with error message injection fault. I've decided to first send the injectors for servicing since my obd scanner says there's a specific error message saying injector no.4 circuit. I...

Greetings, Have had a pesky injection fault error message that comes out intermittently so I'm after some advice. When message comes up, car goes into limp mode with hunting idle. Other times its just as normal and revs freely to almost Redline. Did a dtc scan and 3 codes came up, throttle...

Hi, could someone do a quick guide/tutorial on how to remove the injectors from a 197 please? Or share a link to one? Many thanks

Hi all, continuing to have this problem after replacing the cam position sensor so I thought I should ask here. The car starts fine but when driving suddenly goes into limp mode, comes out with the error lights saying to stop and with an injection fault message. The idle then goes high around...

This might be a daft question, sorry if so. I have an elm327 obd2 plug in. Can I use the Renault clip software with it? Also where can I download a copy of clip that is compatible with my mk3 Clio 197? The car is sickly at the moment, keeps going into limp mode and shows injection fault. The...

So this happened last weekend. Having some trouble finding a replacement locally since there are so few of these cars. Quick question, is this glass the same as any 3-door Mk3 Clio or even a 5-door one? Or is the glass for the RS197 specific for the model? Thanks in advance

Hi all, after the recent drama where I was locked out of my car with the battery out, I'm looking to fix the broken door lock. Especially since our cars have only 1 keyhole on the whole car. Can I buy any used door lock with the corresponding key? Hoping there won't be any need to get a chip...

I've done a very silly mistake. I took out the battery after locking the doors and then closed the bonnet. Then I tried the door lock on the passenger side and it just turns without catching. So now I cant enter the car to unlatch the bonnet. My nosegrille is loose and i can probably take it...

Hi everyone, Just some background if you missed my intro in the newbies section, I bought this 197 at an auction. It has a few Akrapovic stickers and the exhaust definitely looks and sounds aftermarket (really amazing sound, everyone comments on how good it sounds). But I can't find any...

Hello hello from sunny and sometimes torrential rainy Malaysia, I'm hoping to start fixing up this 197 I got at auction last week. It has a very funny seat layout, it has a worn, fabric Renaultsport driver's seat and a nice Recaro passenger seat. However I think the passenger seat originally...

Greetings from tropical Malaysia, an unlikely home for a Clio RS! I just purchased an '08 197 from an auction last week. Extremely rare over here, heard that there are only 6 examples in the whole country. The car is overall in good nick, the drive back was very thrilling. However, as an...
