Have you tried Renault Forums?

follow the air filter trunking. there'll be a section with a jubilee clip near the accelerator springs. Look in there. It's just a flappy valve that opens and closes with the throttle. Have you done this before?

There will be a black cylindrical object attached to the throttle body

To be honest though, i've found it easier to replace than clean in the past.

 

If you do remove to clean it, be carefull not to pull the plunger out of the valve..Otherwise it may need recalibrating to the car by a Renault specialist.
