2001 Renault Clio 16v from UK and Ireland - Comments

Got my Y registration clio in May 2004. It's a new style 2001 expression model Since then had nothing, but trouble.

1. Sunroof Leaks - given to dealer to be repaired and came back the same.

2. Brakes siezed and snapped whilst traveling at 40 mph on a busy road.

3. Airbag light comes on all the time.

4. The car was shuddering, and needed new plug.

5. Electrical fault warning light comes on every couple of days and car cuts out.

6. Brakes are not very good.

The car is completely unreliable and if I could afford to I would give.

Hi.

I have a similar problem with my 01 Clio 1.4 RXE - can you tell me if you have had the problem of the engine cutting out for a split second and then automatically revving up to rest again at about 1500 revs? I have tried diagnostics at Renault dealer and they have no idea what could be causing this?

Thanks.

I bought a y reg Renault Clio 1.2 16v sport 10 months ago and have now had it into 2 garages one which is an electrical specialist they currently have not found the electrical fault which keeps occuring even with the help of the diagnostic computers at present they have been checking all the wires individually, but still no joy. this seems to be a common fault with this year of Clio. any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it.

Hi yeah, I have a 2001 Y Reg Clio Dynamique and my airbag light came one. After reading reviews I thought what everybody else thinks "It's the wires under the seat" But my airbag light came on because it needed a New ROTARY AIRBAG SWITCH. Renault fixed this for about £190. Dear.. but it cured it.
