Hi all!
I've got 2012 Clio RS 200. It started to behave strangely when starting from cold. It seems that the problem first appeared with the cold weather. It's now below 5C outside.
Normally when I started my car in the morning it was idling at about 1200-1250rpm for about 2 minutes and then settling at about 800-850rpm.
Now it starts and idles at about 1000-1050rpm and I hear whining noise from the engine bay. The noise disappears in about 40 seconds and after that I restart the car and it idles at 1200-1250rpm as it normally would. In about 2 minutes it settles at 800rpm as usual and drives perfectly normal.
If I don't restart a car in 40 seconds - it still settles at 800rpm in 2 min and drives OK but I can't help it but worry why it's behaving this way? It's driving me crazy.
So far I've cleaned a throttle body, changed a battery and I'm currently running a stock ECU map. I have a de-cat exhaust. The rest is standard.
Any ideas what might be wrong with my clio? All your inputs are highly appreciated.
PS. My Renault dealer had a car for week - they confirmed a problem but couldn't identify the cause.
