Renault Clio heater plug light and loss of acceleration
Variant: 1.4 petrol Manual
Model Year: 2001
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
After driving the car for about 10 mins, the heater light on the dash comes on. It will go off when I switch off, but after restarting,it will come on again after about 10mins. Next prob, whilst the heater light on, if I'm accelerating up to about 70mph, the car seems to tire and struggles to increase speed above 60.
I have also noted that the engine shakes as if it is misfiring . New plugs, oil and filters were fitted recently although the problem existed before the service was done.
