Renault Clio 2001 immobilizer trick

With many older Clios, the immobilizer fails and normally results in a scrappage as it is not financially viable to replace
If your car has this issue, follow this video and you'll be able to bypass the onboard immobilizer and start the car..
Note this is not a permanent fix.

Thanks! It works also with my 2001 Twingo

I can confirm this works for my Renault Clio dynamique 2004, but it’s not quite so simple. It takes a lot of messing around with the key before the car would start.

Can you explain how did it worked, please?

[@PTEC3D]

But it also means that anyone that can copy your key and also knows this trick, they can drive off with your car using the trick. I guess? And has anyone tried to see if a working immo is prone to the same bypass?

So please do the 2001 Renault clio also have a chip or sensor in it?...Cos i learnt my is lost that's why the red light is blinking and can i still used this method please

Hi! I’ve got a 2001 Renault Clio (1.5 diesel engine) and sometimes the red engine light is flashing (it’s over the handbrake light) while I try to start the car. Nothing happens if I turn the key, is it the immobilizer?

[@chrisuren9534]

Yes more than likely. They fail very often on these cars.

Chris Uren thanks for the info!

[@sinikocentane6457]

If the engine is warm don't want to start again

Great video. Thank you. Was just about to buy a bypass kit.
