renault clio 1.5 dci problems

[denzx09]

hi guys/gals im new to the forum and im hoping for some help with my little poorly clio, it 1st started when my cambelt failed and did all the head in so i replaced the head with new cambelt water pump and so on and the car just would not run properly i had it on diagnostics and kept throwing up fuel pressure regulator fuel reached max but worked out that it turned out to be all the injectors was playing up so replaced all them with recon ones and the car ran perfect right up till now, it 1st started with the hazard lights not working they did once work when the tailgate got slammed shut but nothing since, then the next problem as im driving along and u have the accelerator at a certain rev it will kangaroo along until you press it a little more which is really annoying when your in traffic crawling along then the speedometer just stopped working, i dont know but it really does seem like a electrical problem, also when sat still u can feel the car just not idling right and seems a bit lumpy, any advice on this, is there a relay of fuse for the speedo and hazard lights, the indicators still work fine for now, i am beginning to really hate french cars!!

[denzx09]

does no one know any of these problems ?

[BigBo]

I'd check the connections on the tail light seeing as you think slamming the boot caused it then fuses and associated relays, If nothing then out with the multimeter and check where power is and is not,

as for the other it could be anything easiest would be to have it plugged in and a OBD live scan done to find what's actually happening when the problem arises

[denzx09]

yeah ive yet to get round to checking the relays and so on just not been the weather to be out there atm, anyone know what relays and fuses are for the speedo and hazard lights?

[denzx09]

ok another update and another thing wrong im beginning to really hate clio's, on my way to work this morning the power steering decides to stop working, all things connected has got to be electrical as the power steering on these cars are electric as anyone got idea what this problem could be i just hope to god the ecu aint giving up on me

[crossy67]

Might be a silly question but did you code the injectors to the ECU?

[denzx09]

just done a diagnostic on it and only thing its throwing up is

DF037 -stop switch circuits, coherence
-intermittent

[denzx09]

yes m8 i did code the injectors, just done a search of codes and these are what i found
DF001 0115 Coolant temperature sensor circuit
DF002 0070 Air temperature sensor circuit (728, 729)
DF003 2226 Atmospheric pressure sensor circuit
DF005 0335 Engine speed sensor circuit
DF007 0190 Rail pressure sensor circuit
DF008 0225 Pedal potentiometer circuit gang 1
DF009 2120 Pedal potentiometer circuit gang 2
DF010 0409 EGR position sensor circuit
DF014 0500 Vehicle speed signal circuit
DF015 0685 Main relay control circuit
DF016 0403 EGR control circuit
DF017 0382 Preheating unit control circuit
DF024 0231 Low pressure actuator control circuit
DF025 0380 Preheating unit fault finding connection
DF026 0201 Cylinder 1 injector control circuit
DF027 0202 Cylinder 2 injector control circuit
DF028 0203 Cylinder 3 injector control circuit
DF029 0204 Cylinder 4 injector control circuit
DF037 0513 Engine immobiliser
DF038 0606 Computer
DF039 0110 Inlet air temperature sensor circuit
DF047 0560 Computer supply voltage
DF049 0530 Refrigerant sensor circuit
DF050 0571 Brake switch circuit
DF051 0575 Cruise control/speed limiter function
DF052 0200 Injector control circuit
DF053 0089 Rail pressure regulation function
DF054 0033 Turbocharging solenoid valve control circuit (728, 729)
DF056 0100 Air flow sensor circuit (728, 729)
DF057 2264 Water in diesel fuel detector circuit
DF059 0301 Misfires in cylinder 1
DF060 0302 Misfires in cylinder 2
DF061 0303 Misfires in cylinder 3
DF062 0304 Misfires in cylinder 4
DF089 0235 Inlet manifold pressure sensor circuit
DF098 0180 Fuel temperature sensor circuit
DF107 0604 Computer memory
DF112 0340 Cylinder reference sensor circuit
DF113 0608 Sensor supply voltage
DF114 0400 EGR solenoid valve circuit
DF116 C001 Multiplex network
DF121 0325 Accelerometer circuit
DF122 0609 Supply voltage pedal potentiometer gang 2
DF130 0087 Flow capacity function

the code mine as thrown up is something to do with the immobilizer hows that though the car would not run at all would it ?

Did you use the old injectors in the same location they came out of or did the new head come with injectors. Either way, you either need to put the old injectors back in the same location or you'll need to write them into your ecu if you move them or use new (used) injectors. I'm sure this won't come up as a fault, not sure if the car would even start but you haven't mentioned or answered weather or not the coding was done.

yes m8 i coded the reconditioned injectors to the car and yes if they was not coded the car would not run at all as the ecu would not know which injector to use

Ok, just checking, you never know. I'm playing catch up on common rail, got out of being a mechanic 10 years ago.

All those codes, jesus! I'd be looking at an earth 1st I suppose

lol no its not all those codes id scrap it if it was lmao the code that mine is thorwing up is DF037 0513 Engine immobiliser, just taken kids to school seen as though im now not working today due to rain and the power steering is back again so i would guess that it is a relay thats not working correctly or ecu or wiring somewhere what ever it is its doing my head in esp not having a speedo with all the cameras about, yeah i know what you mean and with technology these days once your out its hard to get back in as everything changes and car company's stick that many censors on cars these days diagnostics go crazy, my diagnostics is this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-2014-1-DELPHI-DS150E-A...


ive also found this info http://www.getflat.co.uk/phcdownload/upload/manual...

ok im pretty sure it has got something to do with electrics on this i went out in it the other day did 30 mile and on that journey the assisted power steering stopped working its like driving a tank when i arrived at my destination turned it of went and did what i had to got back in the power steering was back again traveled back home (30mile) the power steering went yet again got home turned it of left it a few mins then started it again and it was back again, this car is doing my head in just one thing after another and i cant sell it as it is ill get nowt for it but i will never ever own one of these as long as i live

[S0 What]

Check the earth points, especialy the one from the gearbox to the body/battery, well known issue with clios and it throws the BCM into a fit, anything from slow wipers, intermitant leccy window and disco rear lights to indicators that work at the front but not the rear then next time it's tother way round.

thanks for the info i will have a look at that, do you know the points of all earths? i know there is 2 in the boot 1 on the gearbox, thanks and i hope this works be4 i take a sledge hammer to the car lol

[denzx09]

right this is a very very strange one and i really cant get my head around how it can cause so much problems as it has, all my problems on the car above is all down to the stereo that i had in it, i was messing about and i also found the original stereo for the car so thought i would change it over as the one i had in was crap anyway we was going on our travels to family on boxing day and realized that the car had stopped kangarooing down the road and a had my speedo back and after my 30 mile i still had my power-steering and i thought WTF how can just a stereo cause so much problems,

so yes all my problems are solved just by changing my stereo lol

My wife's one had loads of codes come up and cleaning the brake light terminals sorted them. It seems any slight intermittent electrical fault (normally a bad earth) on these cars can cause the ECU to throw a wobbly. Also check the relays by the fuse box under the bonnet at the front nearside as the terminals can corrode and cause a few problems, especially with starting.

yeah ive heard about the relays under the bonnet esp with water getting in there i covered my fuse box in a plastic bag just for that extra security, im still going to check all the earth points on the car and also strip down the dash to make sure there are no bare wires ETC, but im so glad i got my speedo back it was a nightmare on motorway with speed cameras and no speedo i drove like a granddad lol
