Happened to me mate, my advice dont get a new one as the same will just happen down to the sh!t design and the plastic getting brittle, just hold it in place and use lots of cable ties, works a treat

thats whats k tec racing said to me , they said it happens to almost all of them

I replace it twice then lost interest lol, they are quite expensive for what they are between 40-50 iirc

 

[megane23225]

40 quid already ordered a new one

 

[Bradders]

When you put the new one in, still add the able ties, the less it can move the better.

well update on problem new vacumm line and cable ties haven't solved it , now the engine management light is on , code reads throttle actuator range/performance (bank1) , i can't see any visible boost leaks or remaining vacuum leaks. only thing i did do it remove the TB and clean it , i'm stump taking it to BTM i'm hoping its not expensive, I've ruled of coilpacks as car idles fines

that sounds like a throttle pedal to me

 

[bmh.01]

Nah thats the throttle body readback normally i'd say disconnect it for a while it tends to fix it but if you've been messing theres a decent possibility you've shagged it up.

Does the throttle operate at all? Its i'm limp mode i'm guessing yes? (won't rev over 3k)

Where abouts in Brum are you?

 

[megane23225]

i live in erdington mate , i have took the TB off to clean it but maybe thats messed the system up , when i delete the code and start the car again it idles fine and in nuetral will rev freely to redline no problems but as soon as i put the car under load above 2.5k rpm the car goes in limp mode again and then will rev it self to 2.5k rpm , if anyone near me could help willing pay no worries just don't want to take it back to renault again they rip me off the last time

 

[bmh.01]

I'll take a look if you can bring it to me, not far away. I've got clip and know how to use it.

 

[megane23225]

i most certainly can , mate can i have your address or number to come after work ?

 

[megane23225]

bmh.01 your a legend , got to the bottom of the problem , Throttle body is ****ed basically not opening properly , ordering another today , also order driver abs sensor and sensor for aircon

Hey guys. I've had a similar error code and limp mode happening on my R26 here in SOuth Africa. Renault have replaced my Throttle body but car still keeps going into limp mode once completely warm and under load and gives same throttle resistive track 1 or something. They now want to replace my ECU!!
Does this sound normal? They have had the car for 4 weeks now!

I have heard of problems with looms

 

[Schiaffi]

I had the same problem, it was a coil.

 

[KrisM]

What should i tell them to look at? Wiring and the coils? But a problem with the coils wouldn't give a throttle error would it?
