1986 Renault Sport - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

a common problem with that renault engine is the crankshaft position sensor get it changed its cheao and easy fit

because there is a high drain when the head lights on and there is no current being generated because the engine is not running, the system cuts of the head lights and allows full power to the starter and the ECM I would not consider that as a problem and the rest of what you say could be a coincidence replacing the ground wire is the same as disconnecting the battery so you may need a scan tool to reset the ECM and immobilizer

The symptoms you report indicate there could be a shortage of fuel volume and/or pressure and it would be wise to begin with a volume and pressure test and pressure regulator test after replacing the fuel filter. It is also wise to be aware it isn't unusual for there to be foreign objects in the fuel tank or a buildup of water. if there has been bodywork or painting done in the area of the fuel filler it definitely would be wise to look inside the fuel tank. While on the subject, if it is a plastic fuel tank, when removing the screwed collar for access be aware tanks that have been in service for a time tend to grow as soon as the restraint is removed so it is a good plan to remove the collar and quickly remove the fuel pump/fuel gauge unit and then refit the collar so a more leisurely inspection can be carried out.

seal around the sunroof with some sealent

are there any other lights on?

They should last at least 50000 miles. In some areas where salt brine is used this woul be reduced.

first let me know year, engine code (or at least typ of engine 1.2, 1.4...). and I will send you picture for timing belt.
and it will (did) bend valves, so you`ll have to remove cilinder head *** well.

This being a diesel, lack of compression is your worst enemy. These symptoms sound like a blown head gasket. Check your coolant for signs of oil, and check your oil for signs of coolant. (oil will be milky looking) Also indicative of a head gasket problem is an oil or coolant leak from the engine as well. If you see no evidence of the above, have a compression test done, and it should show up.

Hello i have a 1996 renault clio 1.4 how do i take off the cambelt so i can put the alternator belt if anyone has any ideas of how to remove it i will be greatful

check the light clusters at the back for anything and everything from corrosion to a damaged or bare cable ,also the feed into the tailgate stop light as the cable gets damaged where it leaves the body in a rubber boot to the tailgate

disconnect the washer bottle plug connector. then run alive and earth wire direct from battery to washer motor to see if motor works that way, if does then new need a new washer switch on the steering column. if not then replace washer motor. should work after that unless pipes blocked.

this might sound silly but check you do not have the child lock on.
please leave feedback

If the radiator fan does not start when the engine is running, either the temperature-sensor or the fuse for the fan can be out of use.a) check the fuse by replacing it with another one.b) check if the cooling-fluid hose is hot or not (which could show a failure of your water-pump. Avoid driving in town or at slow speeds: when there's no airflow through the radiator, you might damage your engine.

make sure cable is good first , or you have bad **** clutch ..

Reasons for heavy fuel comsumsion:Engine tempreature running coldInjector leak downFuel pressure regulator diaphram leakingFuel return line blockedFuel pump creating way more pressureTransmission slippingTMP engine tempreature groundedO2 sensor not going into closed loope.

i have no idea offhand but the way i would find out is to remove the cover off the back of the headlight and on the bulb is a connector ,the top horizontal connection is the earth and then the vertical connections either side are the dip and the beam ,most vehicles have the right one as the beam so look at the color ,if you have a twin bulb type then the inner one which is most often the beam so look for the colour on this one ,now be carefull as some vehicles have a multi plug going into the headlight then the wires run from the back of the multiplug socket and could be different colours ,and as iam colour blind red/green i always use a multimeter or a screwdriver probe that lights up when power is present .This may not be the answer you need but it will enable you to have some idea what to look for as some vehicles have a big connection block where the engine loom connects to the firewall so again the wire colours can change their as well.

i Just fixed a problem with a renault megan washer motor. If the motor makes a noise but is not pumping any water & the jets@ the windscreen are clear, then pull the suqirter motor out off the washer bottle( the bottle stays in place ) it just pulls out from underneith the bottom stone tray& may need to remove bottom bolt, inner lower wheeel arch. Right Now where the black & white squirter come out of the motor gentlywith a screw driver pop these off together. ( test motor again) ( put in water ) Then with Snap ring plires & part the white & black outlets apart & you will find a rubber seal that looks like it must of grown. When it grows it blocks both ports off. you need to shorten the rubber & keep it flat as remember its job seems to block off either the front or rear port. if it not a good finish you may get water coming out of the front & the rear ifeg your working the front squirters
