How do you replace the top dead center sensor in a Clio 4 1.5 dCi?

Model: Renault Clio Clio IV, MK 4, Clio 4 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Crankshaft position sensor

To replace the top dead center (TDC) sensor on a Renault Clio 4 1.5 dCi, first disconnect the battery for safety. The sensor is located near the flywheel, between the engine and gearbox. Lift the car, then secure it with jack stands. Locate the sensor, usually secured with one or two Torx screws, disconnect the electrical connector, then remove the sensor. Cleaning the seat well can help, then install the new sensor, reconnect the connector, and tighten the screws. Lower the car, reconnect the battery, and start the engine to check that it runs smoothly. It is a delicate operation but can be done in a garage if you have some manual skills.
