Clio 197 - Preventative Maintenance
Discussion
Bought a 197 a month ago and I’m loving it! Come from an E53 and it’s so much more fun.
Everything works (well, the drivers side door is hanging a bit low) and it’s a good runner but it’s at 120000 miles with no real history and want the keep it this way.
It’s a bit jerky for the first 20 seconds driving and has a bit of a whiney sound on tick over so wondered what to do first.
Also any places near Peterborough with a good reputation for these Clios? Thanks!

Cheers guys. Good o know the whine and jerky/sluggishness when cold is normal.
It needs a service as I’ve no idea when it was last done but it’s running ok for now. Only doing 30-40 miles a week in it at the moment so it’s not getting heavy use but plays on my mind. Struggling to find the money for that tho so going to have to trust in it….annoys me as I like to know I’m looking after my cars usually!
