Advice on a Clio issue
Advice on a Clio issue
Shortly after the service we noticed a residue on the floor under the car so back it went turns out a gasket had failed due to the service they have replaced and all is fine no more leaks
However
last night the car sounded rough and was struggling to get up to speed. Now the engine on a clip is normally not to noisy. But now is sounds like a diesel
The aa been out and have said there is nothing wrong but I disagree it almost sounds like a misfire but no error codes to back this up
Any ideas other than take it back and tear them a new one
Ok so we just had the Clio serviced by a main dealer. This was done maybe a month a go.

I need to find out for you mate...
But a defo misfire will make a Renault engine sound like a bag of nails due to an engine imbalance and makes gears and chains rattle like hell.

You may find by unplugging one it can also affect another cylinder because if I remember correctly on certain Renault it can also cause a misfire on another cylinder, its just the way they are wired.
