Renault Clio - Video tutorial

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Engine
Operation: Crankshaft position sensor cleaning

Due to the malfunctioning of the crankshaft position sensor it may happen that the engine does not start, that is, it turns but does not start as if no fuel arrived: the problem is instead linked to the phase loss caused by the aforementioned sensor. A first attempt to make, before replacing the sensor, is to clean it. The sensor is located on the right side of the engine (looking from the front), immediately above the gearbox and is fixed with two pins: unscrew the fixing pins, extract the sensor from its seat and disconnect its socket. Then clean the sensor with WD40 spray and reinstall it: then start the engine; if it does not start, replace the sensor.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
