Has anyone else ever had Hot Starting problems
with the Clio 182.

It starts when cold - no problem.

But just lately - when you leave it for 10 mins when warm
it then has trouble.

It actually refused to start today.

Any idea's of a known problem or a fix ?

I get this occasionally with my 172. Happens mostly when setting off from a petrol station. Its never refused to start though, just seemed a bit reluctant.

if its turning over but not firing could be the tdc sensor there is know a modified plug connector + sensor which has a blue plug, if you can locate the tdc sensor which sits on the top of the clutch bellhousing-t piece sensor with 2x 10mm shoulderd bolts. give it a wiggle when this next happens and it might well then start, i cant give you the mod part numbers as im off with fleu headache if it still has warranty get it changed for the mod wiring and sensor, tell them to check there TN notes for the mod yes assuming this is the cause anyway which you should never do but it will give you a good head start
