That happened like three more times throughout the day and I had enough. Did the things you did and it took me like half an hour and it started perfectly and even faster. I feel like the car knows that i cleaned the sensor and is happy as am I. Thank you so much you absolute legend 🙏

Moved my Clio, 30 minutes later it refused to start, just kept turning over. Close to tears, I found this clip, and without much hope followed the steps you did, not on a 16V, but on the 1.1 facelift 2000 model. Unbelievably, it fired up first time. I just used WD40 and a toothbrush to clean it up (wife's), and it didn't look as bad as yours did. Maybe it's the connection that was at fault, this is just an induction device. However, I am extremely grateful to you. Other videos show the component but not where it is fitted on the engine, you tell the whole story. Cheers.

Hi Glad to hear you got the car sorted. In some instances the crankshaft position sensor can fail internally and when the engine heats up it gives problems which can result in the car not starting when hot but being fine first thing in the morining. Nonetheless if you know where the sensor is located its now easy to remove.

You watch somebody like ChrisFix or ScottyKilmer and you want to slice your wrists after 15min of talking, plus they still don't show how they fixed something since it's before/after cam shots.

This video saved me ! Had problems month and month. Two garage's tried to fix it ( one even is an official Renault dealer !) In my case the sensor was not that dirty, but a few metal particles stick to it. Since it's a magnetic sensor, this could be a reason for malfunctioning. The whole 'repair' took less than 5 minutes. 8 weeks ago, now. Starts and runs like a charme. Freeze nor moist could prevent this. Very happy !!!

He spotted this same problem with the crank sensor immediately but, of course he caught me unaware and he replaced this part that cost me around 50 euros! I am sure that if he wanted, he would do exactly the same procedure, i.e. to clean it thouroughly with the WD 40 and fix it on the spot but, of course he would get much less than 50 euros, out of which the 30 euros he said, charged me for his working time!! go figure, and now that my renault has the same problem, i will try to fix it my self...thanks a lot.

Although my Clio Mk3 appeared to be running OK, the dashboard engine warning light came on last week. The OBD2 reader reported random cylinder misfire and camshaft position actuator circuit faults. After some research, I decided to look at the crankshaft sensor first. Cleaning it with steel wool appears to have fixed the problem. Woohoo! I actually spent a lot of time looking for the location of the sensor on the car. It was only until I saw a picture of a Clio crank angle sensor on the eurocarparts website then I was sure where it was located. Access is from underneath the car. It has a single 10mm mounting bolt.

Hi there, thanks for the comment Heat can affect the sensors, if there is a small hairline crack on the sensor then the heat of the engine bay can cause it to expand. Its why cars might start on a cold morning but then as the car warms up or in hot weather it may play up. Have you replaced the sensor? Is the connector that goes to the sensor in good condition, ie is it clicking into place securely and is it free from corrosion?

Hi there, Can you check the condition of the connector going to the sensor, is there any corrosion on the inside of it, also what condition are the wires. You might need to get a wiring diagram for the clio (sorry i dont have one owners clubs might help, or buy an e manual for it) then use a multimeter to check the continuity between the connector and its relevant pin on the ECU to ensure the connection is good.
@garytc39 жыл бұрын
Its not the sensor thats faulty or in need of cleaning its a bad connection on the 2 pin connector. seperate the plug and bend out the 2 pins very slightly. If you are stuck at the roadside, wiggling the wires without removing sensor normally will start the car. The only difference with the modified (blue sensor) is it has gold coated terminals and needs the loom modifying slightly, easy job but dont waste your time or money. Hope this helps someone.
@CybaGirl8 жыл бұрын
+gary stanway Thanks very muc for taking the time to explain the differences between the standard and modified (blue sensor). I took my Kangoo to a Renault dealer last week and they told me the computer reported that the crank sensor is faulty so I ordered a new one and they are fitting it this Thursday. Plus fixing the wiring issue with the Air Bag and SERV light coming on sometimes. They told me this was a common issue apparently. So all up this is going to cost me just over $1000.00 to fix everything up. I think the crank sensor was around $300.00? The rest is in labour plus I brought two new rubber brake and clutch pedals for $12.00 each. Anyway I guess I should have researched this more but for some reason I was convinced it was the fuel pump. I did get a mobile mechanic to look at my car but he couldn't tell me a thng even with the computer he used to plug into mine. So this is why I took it to a Renault dealer to sort out for me. So I guess you pay for the service and in some respects it probably;y works out cheaper than buying new parts and hoping the issue is fixed. Anyway thanks for your comment and thanks to the original poster of the video.

Thanks a lot for this video! I am about to try this method for my Clio 1.2 gasoline. However, unlike you in my case the starter motor does not make any sound at all, does not even try to start up the engine. This problem only happens sometimes because the car mostly starts correctly. Do you think I should still try this method or it might be something else? Thank you!

It is more likely that your starter is failing, remove it and have an auto electrician refurbish it. I had to do it on this clio at a time, its fairly easy. This is for the 8v 1.2 engine but quite similar sorry about the soundtrack. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4etoaKgfLh-mc0 It cost me £25 to have the starter refurbished.

Top Tip: I've got a TU5JP4 engine, good call on the crankshaft sensor, I even replaced it not just cleaned it but carried on not starting. Check your COM2000 unit people, especially the brown wire, I end up taking the whole thing out and re-flowing the solder with a heat gun (neat trick from fixing Nvidia GPU's), the connection near the brown plug needed soldering and vehicle started. Another one is water drip onto BSI fuse box, take it out of the plastic bullshit and clean the connections + re-flow the solder. Just because you don't get weird things happening with signals/lights/christmas dash doesn't mean it's not Com2000

Hi mate, I have a 2004 Clio DCI 100. Every so often, it will stall when driving and then engine is hot, and won't start again until the engine has cooled, at least an hour. The car is also jerking when accelerating, and letting off. After it restarts, there are no codes present, and the MPG has tanked. Could this be the crank sensor? RAC guy said the code was no injector pulse, and told me my injectors were dead, and it will never run again. However, once cool, it starts right up. I really hope It's the crank sensor and not the injectors, because they are £250 + labour per cylinder. Cheers.

Hi there Best thing to do is join the clio sport facebook group (or any clio related pages) they are a fountain of knowledge. The crank sensor is a handy first thing to check first, the fact it quits when the engine is hot is a typical thing for a bad crank sensor to do. I do not actually remember where the sensor is on the 1.5 dci. This video is for the 1.2 petrol but one of those group pages will help you in that regard. About the injectors, there should be plenty of 2004 Clios or Renaults with that 1.5 engine in scrapyards, no need to go buying brand new injectors for a 2004 car when a used item should be adequately reliable.

I have clio 2 1.4 16v, and it wont start sometimes. But if i use start spray it always starts. Crankshaft sensor was recently replaced and i am still having this problem.. Any idea what could be wrong?
@peugeotCitroen2CV4 жыл бұрын
If it starts with easy start spray you may have an issue with the fuel delivery, injectors, possibly oiled up throttle body getting the wrong readings in which case a good clean with carb cleaner will work. Do you hear the fuel pump whirr as the ignition is turned on?

@@peugeotCitroen2CV i mean it depends. Sometimes it struggles a bit even with start spray but it always starts with start spray. And yes i hear my fuel pump. It is strange because it drives normally.. I was thinking i could have problem with wires or connector on crankshaft sensor 🤔
