On my ex's old Clio shed the same happened. It was a dodgy lambda (O2) sensor, and poisoned catalyst. Ouch.
Not throwing a code for 02 sensor.Codes for a misfire, so new plugs and leads tomorrow and see if that does the trick , if it's the cat not sure what my next move is.
Just to conclude the story , i tool the clio for a compression/leak down test and the news was not good .
1-9.5 bar
2-8 bar
3-6 bar
4-5 bar
so looks like a head gasket leak between cylinder 3 and 4 .
i think i'll probably sell it now as spares/repairs as even if i got a decent used engine i'd still have to do the cambelt/dephaser and water pump and my trusty puma is still working so i'm not without wheels.
