Cold start revs are lower than usual as if the car has just started from warm we’re as before they’d be above 1k now they sit on 1k on bone cold Starting the car after leaving it for 4-5 hours it does the usual extra revs 1.2k cold start which is puzzling me I’m guessing there is a problem with the coolant sensor any help or guidence would be appreciated guys I will try and get it plugged into Clip
Hi to all! I have the same problem. Did they solve it? Thanks Enviado desde mi SM-G935F mediante Tapatalk
Thanks for answering! Are you still trying to fix it or leave it like this? Enviado desde mi SM-G935F mediante Tapatalk
I’m changing the thermostat when I have time as the coolant temp sometimes sits ever so slightly below the normal notch will keep updates on here
Okay thanks! I changed the thermostat before because the car was slow to reach working temperature and now it is going well. Just that sporadic boot failure. Thanks Enviado desde mi SM-G935F mediante Tapatalk
On the 250 it in the intercooler pipework infront of the engine, should be a red or grey sensor, so think it should be the same on 225/230.
A few years ago, my car started to run jerky, for a few secs after starting, feathering 1st gear around the carpark at work, never done it before. Didnt really look into it, then after a thermostat change, a couple years later, its wouldnt tick over from cold, took three attemps and a blip of the throttle, wasnt until i tried it on a hot day and it started fine i realised it was temp related. So got me a pattern sensor (grey) off ebay, sorted the starting issue, but was still jerky from cold. Recently got me a genuine sensor from renault (red), only £8, but be warned there is a note on the system for the mk3 thats you need a new loom at £43, its not needed thou as it fits, and since fitted so far the jerkyness as gone. But early to tell yet.
Thermostat changed has made the car run better and 80% less spot on the exhaust tips so that must of helped the engine loads Still got lower than usual revs on cold start we’re is the air intake temp sensor on the 225 ?
Follow the pipe off the throttle body, there should be a map sensor and grey or red sensor after it with the plug to it at a angle. Maybe worth cleaning the map sensors out with carb cleaner.
Cheers Ryan il have a look at the air temp sensor I know where you mean now same looking sensor on the clios 172/182
There push in, will probably break as you lever it out, so make sure youve got the replacement at hand
