About this deal
Motrio was created by Renault in 1998, to regain market lost to minor dealers and repair agents. The brand started in France and Italy, but then it extended its operations to Germany (1999), Spain and Portugal (2000). The heat shield has two little tabs that retain the washer/clip. Bend them down slightly to remove old and fit new. I scraped out all the iron oxide rust and the hole in the heat shield is a circle, like it has always been that size. The heat shield looks in good condition. I've got some washers that will cover it though. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=2ahUKEwjwvra2m7DkAhXIQUEAHdtmDGEQxa8BMAJ6BAgAEAY&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2nov As for fitment, I guess they just push over the screw stud that is peeping out the heat shield, and has lots of rust on its surface?
The stud has a screw thread. So after initially pushing the washers on, can rotate them through one of the slots to tighten slightly. the heat shield now has a big hole in it where originally it had a small hole for the retainer's stud to pass through
Basically the 1st time you have problems you have the option to undo all the fixings of the heat shield & just push/pull the shield to one side to move it enough to give the fixing nuts something to grip onto. Just found this. The hole in heat shield is bigger. Like the heat shield has been pulled out over the remaining clip. Now your ready & can remove the Fixing nut & clean off as much loose material that you can from the heat shield/car. Basically the exhaust heat shield gets eaten away at the fixing points due to corrosion of the metal fixing nut used to secure it to the car & becomes loose, these methods basically give the fixings nuts new materials to hold up & stop the shield rattling.
Car exhausts work hard to protect the air and the environment from dangerous emissions. At Halfords, we have exhaust essentials, including premium parts, clamps and gaskets, and other accessories.

It was basically just blowing out ambient temperature air. This was accompanied by the fan speed being quite high most of the time. My car has the full, 2-zone digital climate control system and it usually is in “Auto” mode. I just manually tweak the set temperature. Usually the fan speed runs at speed 2 (as indicated by the LED segments in the dial). However, I had noticed that during hot weather days it was running at speed 3 most of the time and yet the temperature of the air coming out of the vents did not really feel that cold. Also, the cabin interior appeared to have quite high humidity. I also noticed hissing noises coming from behind the dash when changing the set temperature.
