I updated the description a while back. It was a poor connection to the starter motor. Just clean the spade connector.

My clio does the same thing , after watching your video and reading comments below i did fix the problem it was loose connection to starter motor , thanks to video maker and people posting the comments :)

I know this is an old video but some of these comments are driving me up the wall. If the car isn't even turning over stop suggesting its the Crankshaft sensor or fuel related. No wonder Joe Public gets fleeced by garages. In 90% of intermittent starting cases where its not turning over it will be the connector to the starter motor is corroded, or the earth wire from battery to body or engine block to body is corroded at point of contact or its one of the ignition relays in the fuse box is faulty or corroded at its connection. If you find corrosion in the fuse box, strip it, clean all terminals and protect as best you can. If the car just 'clicks' on turnover and doesn't start, that 90% goes up!

Mine was once in a week or two,playing with a fob and lock,starts until next week,after seeing this video when ever this happens I push little and it starts until today nearly broke my leg as I push it alone over 4 times,I decided to visit to the garage and was quoted £105 everything local £145 Halford ,did not change after I fuel did the same thing,waited for AA 3 hours none came so I disconnected the little cable in the starter and also hitting the starter about 6-7 times,it fires up now Parked over the hill away from home so it is easier for me to bring the children to school with a little push until I sort out the starter.

Mine was the ground on the starter, when I turned it over there was no crank at all! Also the car would turn on as such, like radio and stuff! So a quick clean of the spade connector and it strikes up perfectly!!

recently car was in crash nothing major just body work but driver seat airbag went off so iv put a seat from a 5 door clio into my 3 door clio .... and i have a knew airbag ecu module to be fitted but have not fitted it yet ... with the knew seat i still have airbag light and serv light come on ..... but what my problem is my car wont start before i had no problems i go to turn the key into second position and the immobiliser light stays steady red so when i bypass that and make it go if i go try again it just does it again aswell as clock reset and dash board read out mpg and how many miles since last reset but if i attach jump leads and bypass the immobiliser it starts first time and if the engine cuts out i am able to start the car from the ignition its only when i leave it over night and go try and start it does immobiliser stay red again and i have to bypass and reset clock

Well when my car wouldn't start after a battery change, an AA recovery guy said I had an alarm fitted in my car, it was hidden under/behind the glovebox. He showed the extra wiring, anyhow to not mess with that, he just had a thick gauge of wire that he place on the live end of the battery and directly to the live end of the starter motor (or is it the alternator - the bit with the visible auxiliary belt) and that did the trick.

Hi, my clio have the same problem, and my brother inlaw, remove and clean a fuse in the bay engine and, keep running for a few days, but the problem is back, i´m thinking in by passing wiht a start button. If some body has ani sugetions i would gladly acept. Cump.

Try bumb starting it if it starts its ok ignition wise but starter ground can be at fault bad ground to gear box will make starter not work i have this problem curently But cba to fix it

I just switched my automatic clio 2003 into manual and now it wont start, any help?

where is this connector of this starter motor? a photo maybe was useful.Thank you!

wee have problem in switch clio 2004 I lost the key off my car how can I start my car can you give me information about my car?

You fixed this if so what was the problem

my sons car is doing the exact same thing got a new key about 6 weeks ago car dosn't turn over renault clio 2000

Its your starter solenoid is the problem, try tapping the solenoid it should work for you

You need a new starter! Got the same problem And After you gave him a new starter let him work because the tries with the ignition is bad for the battery and she probably will be nearly empty

Hi my clio 1.4 16v (2002) does the same thing!! Used to be once in a while but now getting more frequent -- very annoying. i kept blaiming the immobeliser but the red dot flashes on/off in a normal paste and think is not the immobliser. recently, i started to blame the starter motor because if I keep the key on ignition position and turn the key on - then at same time ask my dad to tap the starter moter = it does start alternativly pushing the car does start the motor as well. So does this not rule out any immobeliser issue!? car battery is ok I believe becaus everything else works, otherwise would notice a lack of electric when using the windows etc. never the less, must say the starter motor is in a crap position! would be a pain to get it out :(( anyway would be great if u guys share your experiences and fixes cheers

Have u cleaned up the tdc sensor? The magnet can get dirty...

relay switch switch need replacing

I have the same problem.

I know u said it's not immobiliser but did u try the immobiliser reset? Or even have a direct pice of wire to the starter then turning the key?

some how your key didn't detected you have to clear the fault code it will start

Try take out fuse 2 for 10 seconds

crankshaft sensor

You are a genius

Disconnect the whole batery put inside again the batteri 🔋 may work Reno have to much computer fault :/

See the KZfaq vid on immobiliser bypass Renault clio

Resuelto ??????????????????????????????????????

omg

It could be your engine immobilizer system. Check if the circular red light goes off when you turn the key to the second click. If it is still flashing then your engine immobilizer is active.

Wait, sorry. Just seen the end of the video. Okay you seem to be having the same problem as myself. I've replaced my car battery and starter motor and still having the same problem. starts when cold, but having trouble starting it again after a recent journey.

it's a shit , it's a renault

You fixed this if so what was the problem
