Renault Kangoo won't start problem resolved

Sue11

We have had problems with our 2000 1.4 Renault Kangoo for the last three years with non starting problems and recently stopping for no apparent reason. We have had several garages look at it fitted a bypass and a new TDC sensor all of which worked for a month or so all of which failed in the end. On the days it did start it run ok.
In despair we finally rang Renault to find there has been a modification to Kangoos and Clio, not sure about any other models, apparently the original black topped TDC has been modified and the top is now blue and has another wire attachment that goes with it. Have been trying it out for a while now and not only does it fire up instantly but runs much smoother.
Ring your Renault Dealer for part numbers.

Probably an additional earth. Shouldn't be hard to add to the old-style ones - or just properly clean up the mounting, to make the most of the one that was designed there...
