I have a renault clio and having problems starting the car - seems to not recognise key - help!?

Question

The red light in the ignition stays on and does not recognise the key code..eventually after a dozen attempts it does start. Cannot fix problem myself because all keys have code.. anyone familiar with this problem? How much will it cost to fix and what is causing this?

Answer 1

Had this problem last week make sure your key is snapped together properly at the top if it is not follow these guidelines take the key apart and make sure the key ring is off so the 2 parts are seperate clean any fluff inside and make it slides together proper when you put it back together and there are no gaps around the key this should knock the red light off so the car will start

Answer 2

On the eletronic injection fuel has a valve that's may be called pressure valve , so this valve can be not good anymore and you may have to change it and the car will work like a new one.
I had this problem with my Renault Senic and over heare ( Brasil ) it coast's like US$50
Good luck

Answer 3

Your going to have to take back to dealer.Either the key chip is worn out or you need to have start system reset to the chip.And yes either one is'nt cheap.Some key's are around $60.00 and up yes that's what i said.Good luck.
