Are there any problems with the Renault Clio Mk3?
We have a Renault Clio mk3 2006 1.5 dci, K9KT766. A few months ago get a fault message, that ‘Low Battery’ and Stop warning lights. I called the mechanical, he changed the alternator and said, the old alternator dont charge enough. I bring the old alternator and test it. That’s almost perfect. The old alternator is 120A, the new is 150A.

What’s the charge voltage on a Clio Mk3?
Prior to the warning there is a periodic drop in the charging voltage when measured across the battery. i.e. it normally charges at 14.4v as you would expect then periodically it drops to incrementally lower levels until no charge comes through. Then following the warning and alarm the charge comes back to the 14.4v levels.

What to do if your Renault alternator is faulty?
The best course of action will be to remove the alternator. Take it to an auto electrical specialist that has a rig for testing alternators and IRs. If the IR is faulty a new one can be fitted at much less cost than the price of a new alternator. There are many cheap quality alternators in the market being sold as Renault alternators.

Why is the battery warning light on on a 1999 Renault Clio?
A 1999 Renault Clio has a new alternator and battery but the battery warning light stays on. What should be done?

This can be done by measuring the battery voltage with the engine off and then again with the engine on.
