Need help with my Clio DCI mk2.

What is the Renault official way to remove the ECU cover?

Having read some posts on the interwebs there is mixed opinion. Some come off real easy and others not.

People have suggested engine crane them out, which I have tried and it is stuck fast.

Tempted to get the angry grinder on it!

 

ive cut them off with a grinder before now lol

 

I cant understand what they were thinking of when they put it on. And its the thickest piece of metal I have ever seen on a car.

I'm interested what the dealerships have to do when they need removing.

 

been a while since i worked at renault but seem to remember getting a 3mm drill and there was a small hole in the plate and a wheel with holes in it and you wind it undone to remove the cover

 

I believe that is on the petrol model where the ecu is attached to the inlet manifold.

Mine is attached to the inner wing behind the battery.

 

yeh tap it loose with a small punch then turn it back, harness normally chafes on the cage aswell
