Punto annoyance

[R***@REMOVEntlworld.com]

I have recently bought a 1.2 Punto active, 11 months old, which has one
small annoying habit. (Yes, only one so far!) I am not going to mess around
with it too much, its still under warranty. I would like to know if anyone
else has had this and what causes it though. When changing up through the
gears, and only between 2000 and 3000 revs, and only when the engine is
warmed up, the revs hang for about half a second while the clutch is
depressed and the throttle pedal fully raised. It makes for some strange
sounding gear changes! Simply removing the right foot and waiting half a
second before depressing the clutch stops it being noticed, but it is
annoying. Any ideas, anyone?

Possibly a faulty throttle body, or it could have an air lock in the
cooling system, or both. The revs are supposed to hang up a small
amount, but not so much it affects gear changes.

I will bleed the coolling system first, as that bit is simple enough. I did
look round for anything obvious, and there was nothing like trapped seals
under the air filter box or pipes off. If it wants anything more technical
it is off back to the dealler. It is very consistent in what it does, so I
suspect it will be something quite definite wrong with it. Apart from that
fault though, it works just fine. Thanks for your thoughts, I will let you
know how it works out, just for reference!

Take it to the dealer anyway, by messing with it yourself you could
cause problems with warranty. The car has 2 years warranty, so why not
use it.

Thats interesting. I bought an 03 vectra 1.8 last year, and it does the
same. I was thinking about taking it to a dealer to look at but figured they
would say it was probably a characteristic and "they all do that sir"

Any idea why they are supposed to hang on a bit? Some emissions nonsense?

Possibly, they also damp the throttle closing to prevent stalling under
load.

If it's new, it's under warranty. Take it to a dealer.

Hazards are always on a different circuit, to work with the ignition off.

Ignition switches often have two circuits. One for the engine, and one for
the things also switched by the ignition. Are all those things dead?

In more sane times, that would have fixed it. Nowadays you're expected
to book it in to a main dealer for a computer hook-up. Madness.
Try removing one battery lead and shorting it out against the other

I booked a new windscreen, a few days before the appointed day and i hadn't heard anything I phoned autoglass. they claimed they had tried to contact me but couldnt?? Basically they needed some more details on the type of windscreen as there are a few different types. eventually they said they didint have it in stock, would contact all the depots to see if anyone had one, and if not would order one. Of course no depot had one in stock but this time I did receive a text to say it was now on back order with no ETA!! That was 2 weeks ago and they took my £95.00 insurance. Im not sure if I can cancel and 'shop' elsewhere or just wait for an indefinite time in the hope my windscreen arrives. its only a Hyundai Kona (2020) nothing special

Some relatively mundane pieces of glass are surprisingly rare.

I once had a Ford Escort in a strange green colour, with a slight tint
on all the glass.

I had to wait for more than a month before anybody could find a
replacement rear quarter light tinted in the correct colour.

I also recently had a replacement windscreen fitted by Autoglass (also
£95) and found them very helpful and efficient so ...

Years ago, I needed a new windscreen. While it was covered by insurance, I
enquired at the local main dealer ( the screen was heated and tinted, a Mk3
Escort Ghia) Their price was a fraction of Autoglass and they did it all
but immediately. (I think 60% + cheaper)

The insurance company were a bit difficult. I assume they had a deal with
autoglass which massively undercut the price the quoted me but they coughed
up.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

The rear screen on my SD1 shattered some years ago. No idea why.

Was insured, and the insurance insisted I use Autoglass.

They said the correct colour one (bronze) was NLA. A pal in the trade
found one in the Autoglass central warehouse. Auto glass said it was only
for a Vitesse. (All S2 are the same, apart from colour and bronze used on
several models)

They eventually agreed to have it sent. It was replaced at home while I
watched. It was fitted bone dry using the old rubber seal (which is easy
to get new)

Of course it leaked.

Had to take it do a depot. They agreed to fit a new seal if I bought and
paid for it.

Wasn't allowed to see them fit it. But they scratched the paint badly in
two places removing it. And it leaked again afterwards too.

Ended up paying a local company to do the job properly - as per the BL
manual - using a sealer between body and seal, and seal to glass.

Bunch of absolute wankers.

Bad connection to the starter motor, or to the starter solenoid, or bad

The starter relay could be sticking or the relay contacts failing.

The relay is in the fuse box in the engine compartment

When it fails to start next time try tapping the top of Relay with the
handle of a screwdriver and then try and restart the car.

R8 (relay 8) = ignition
R13 (relay 13) = starter

Can anyone tell me the sequence to programme a Clio spare key, I am reluctant to pay the dealers cost if this is an easy operation.

The process for programming a spare key for a Renault Clio can vary depending on the year and model of the vehicle. However, here is the general sequence of steps for programming a spare key for a Renault Clio:

Insert the first key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position (not the start position)

Press the unlock button on the first key and hold it down

Press the lock button on the second key and hold it down

Release both buttons simultaneously

Turn the first key to the OFF position and remove it from the ignition

Insert the second key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position

Press the lock button on the second key

Turn the second key to the OFF position and remove it from the ignition

The spare key should now be programmed and should work with the vehicle

It is important to note that the sequence and the steps may vary depending on the version of the Clio you have, it is best to check the owner's manual or contact the Renault's customer service for the correct sequence

As a last resort with the jets removed I have found soaking in half a cup of brick acid and using a piece of fuse wire to unblock the holes worked for me.

The window control box is on the door panel on the UK R20. There have been some on ebay secondhand for about £50. I have exactly the same problem. This box is the likely problem. Swap one from another door and see if it changes the behaviour.
Nuisance that it only goes fully up or fully down. Passenger door does NOT do this. That issue of intermittency may be a poor supply out of this control box! Could be a simply naff relay in that box increasing the circuit resistance.

The various companies may share this type of information. In the past
I've had a email stating that my NCB has been validated without me
having to provide any proof*.

There is also the possibility that many of the insurance company names
you see advertised are all part of the same group or holding company.
Also bear in mind that you are not necessarily buying insurance from
Tesco, Coo-op, the AA, Swinton etc. as these are just the middlemen and
your insurance may be from a bigger company (or the owned by the same
holding company providing all the services to these brokers).

You may also find that lying when asked about your NCB may invalidate
your insurance if you make a claim.

I do know that when applying for insurance that your credit record may
be checked.

When applying to drive, or hire a car, on the insurance provided by my
one time employer I was made aware that they could electronically check
things like the driving record with just the licence number (points on
licence etc.)

*With a financial product arranged over the phone I was told that my
identity had been fully electronically checked after I had only given
some basic details.

I had a technician overfill my oil. A couple of hours later I drove a short distance.
Plumes of white smoke began to billow from underneath car and exhaust. Oil was also being sprayed from the exhaust pipe.
Car stayed on high revs even with the ignition off and key out. Had to stall it to stop.
Question is, is my car kaput ?
It’s a 61 plat

Did you ever sort this? Currently the same situation, can see the garage has fitted a new afm, temperature sensor, new leads (I replaced with NGK) new plugs, one plug had a severely broken external insulator so I’ve replaced it again, I haven’t yet checked the pipe after afm (tomorrow’s little job), not sure about the coil pack. Latest was the fuel pressure regulator which although improving it immensely isn’t right and will buck and misfire if anything close to full throttle is used. Before I replaced the fuel pressure regulator the revs would drop severely at idle, removing the vacuum pipe resolved this but would misfire unless very light throttle was used

Good day sorry to budge in on this thread my car does the same now aswell after I replaced the dephaser and timing. So I wanted to know is this applicable on the 2.0 F4R engine aswell

Thank you John....Thank you very much.
I too had a very high idling issue on my 1997 1.6LTR Daewoo Nubira.
It was idling high at 1600rpmfor a few weeks now and this afternoon it suddenly jumped to 3500rpm!
Finding your idle speed control valve / ignition disconnect/connect procedure above completely fixed the problem.
Mate, you're a champion!
Thanks once again from Adelaide, South Australia
Cheers,

11 month old Punto was hardly likely to have a failed clutch.

By now it should be a cube.

The revs hang on purpose on volvos to aid smooth the ride, it makes a smoot

I know it's not a Volvo but it could have the same method in its madness
