2002 Renault Clio Authentique review from UK and Ireland
"Nice car; can have problems. especially electrical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Clio is a 2002 1.2.
I have a solution to anelectrical problem that should help a lot of you out of a sticky situation.
If you have electrical problems, IE the car won't turn over or the engine maintenance light is on, and you're stuck on the side of the motorway or having to call out the AA too much.
What you do it disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes and then re connect it; by doing this it will reset the on-board computer, therefore temporarily fixing your fault.
This has helped me a lot, as I bought my Clio from having an accident. Since then the service light is on.
This is a tiring task; keep disconnecting the battery, and I must get it sorted by Renault. I'm hoping they don't mug me!
Also I have had a new gearbox due to a crack??
General comments?
Nice car otherwise.
