Renault Clio 2003 Auto Gearbox Problem

[What the hell am I doing]

I put it all back together and got it all working today and it drives perfectly. Initially it wouldn't select gears but after a few key off and engine restarts later it sorted itself out. I priced a pump at Renault trade was about ?225 + vat. About what I thought so that will probably be changed in the future. In all that I have done I managed to keep the hydraulic system intact so no bleeding or programming was needed.

Another point to note on these cars and it is quite important and that is regarding the fault codes. What I've noticed is that my scanner was going into what it thought was an automatic car when in fact it is a sequential gearox. It must be a very similar ECU to allow this. So ignore what the fault codes say. Unless you're using a Renault clip diagnostic scanner or a tool which specifies Sequential gearbox. The live data is also useless and must be ignored. In fact don't even bother unless you've got the proper tool to code read it. In the end it was careful checking of every component that sorted it. I could of got lead the wrong way if I believed what the scanner told me.

Hi, was it an easy job to replace the pump?
i found a clio with the same gearbox in a scrapyard and i'm thinking to buy the pump off that and fit it in my one.

I didn't replace the pump yet, I have repaired it but will replace it in the future. It isn't difficult to replace the pump, you just remove the battery and the shield and the air filter box. Then you're supposed to use renault tool to de pressurise the accumulator, because the system could hold a high amount of pressure. Syphon off the fluid in the reservoir using a syringe then you just take the metal oil pipe off and unbolt the pump.

Fit the new pump and then when it's all back together you will have to top the fluid level up and bleed the system with a renault clip tool and re learn the gear positions etc whilst you're there.
