Is there anyone who can virginise a steering column for a Clio mk4 RS200 that is RHD? Im based in Australia but will be travelling to Germany/Netherlands in November for work so European options are on the table. Preferable if you had a column and I supply the VIN.
Seems this may be the cause of my CAN issues mentioned in a previous post. Also, cars are pain.
I had an engine bay fire from the high pressure fuel pump in my Rs200 racecar.
Over the last six months, I have been carefully piecing it back together. I used a 2013 mk4 Clio RS200 with an m5m.400 engine but had the climate control interior with Rlink and leather seats. Key component used was the whole, complete engine loom.
My racecar is a 2016 Rs200 which had the standard LG screen and 3 knob air conditioning.
I attempted to run the car again, did have some plugs from the engine loom in the cabin side that no longer had something to plug into them. One was a large gauge 12v and ground in addition to another one which my car did not have. Pretty sure its for the stereo so no biggy. But when I powered the car, the dash was riddled in faults. Power steering fault, Braking fault, Check auto gearbox, check injection system. The engine would crank but it was obvious there was an inhibition holding out the fuel pump etc.
So, I decided to swap in the ecu, tcu, emm, bcm, cluster and keyreader from the donor as I thought a CAN module in something may have gotten fried from CAN HI touching CAN LO when wires melted together. I couldn't power up the car as it now said turn wheel and start. Figured this was because the column lock was not matching the rest of the modules so I fitted an emulator.
Powered up the car and all the same faults came up again exactly like before and all symptoms. Incredibly frustrating.
Now, my only train of thought is that the engine loom may not have identical pinouts to the body loom connector in the LH footwell and some CAN lines are not connected and talking to one another. I disconnected the connection and powered up the car again and symptomatically, acted the same with all the same faults, except the TCU no longer did its warm up dance with the gearbox and 2 dashes appeared in the speedometer. Understandable given it has a wifi connection now.
Can someone please confirm my suspicions that I need to get a matching loom to the body loom or perhaps im cooked and should consider giving up.
