Not Corrado but Mum's Clio

Recommended Posts

mother has a Clio. For ages she has been saying it keeps cutting out on her. I drive it. No problems. i put it down to her holding the clutch.

 

Anyway It has happened to me. I narrowed it down to when the stereo has been on. Does not matter how long teh journey say Manchester to Notts. If ya have the stereo on pull up at teh lights an it just dies??? Run the car without teh stereo on and all is fine.

 

At this point I had to eat humble pie :oops: Sorry mum.

 

Is this an alternator problem??

It should have had a recall for that " metal box " your talking about depending on the chassis number as I remember, off the top of me head pin number 4 and 8 I think should read infinity, if it dunt, the " metal box " is to be replaced and the wiring was to be sheathed.

 

You better check though, as Renault might contribute a percentage to the bill if its not under warranty.

 

Its been nearly 3 years since I worked for Renault mind, so me knowledge is fading - thank god. Terrible cars.
