Clio amplified antenna?

I want to fit a single din Pioneer Dab Radio DEH-X8700DAB. Although my question is about the DAB Antenna I have some supplementary general questions too, please excuse if not appropriate.


Clio 1.2 Dynamaic 2 door '59 plate facelift front end model.


Q1 Is the radiao antenna amplified on this model? I wanted to use a DAB splitter to avoid having to fit new aerial or window antenna.


Q2 Do I need the Kan-Bus adapter for stalk controls etc.


Q3 Has anyone had experience of ordering Focal Speakers through Renault dealerships. What a nightmare.


Focal say they have model specific high quality direct replacement speakers for doors etc and dash mounted replacement tweeters, which feature inline passive crossovers and comes with fixing kit.


http://ift.tt/1XLtjDp


Any advice gratefully accepted. I just want to fit the unit connect up to the existing roof antenna for dab using a spitter and replace the dire current spekers and tweeters without cutting or removing half the dash as my local installer wants about £150 to do!

twingo 61 juddering help please

Hi, the past two mornings at 7am my car hasn't started properly. I apologise I no nothing about cars so I will explain best way I can.

Usually I just turn the key and car starts but past two mornings as I say it doesn't start and I have to press on the gas and turn key. The weather hasn't been really cold (I'm guessing this would have an effect) it's been about 7 degrees and damp and foggy.

Then when iv pulled away the car is juddering like it's going to stall, then iv been getting it going and put it into 2nd and then it started juddering like mad.

Can I have some advise please?
I only had it in at Evans halshaw last Friday for a free vehicle health check and everything came back fine, just needed to replace a coil on the suspension or something like that.

Thanks a lot
Sarah

Grand Scenic 2 (2005) Smoking Fan

The fan on my wife's 2005 Grand Scenic hadn't been working on position 2 recently, and today she's told me there's smoke coming out of the vents. I've had a look through the "Scenic II - Heater Fan *fixed*" and I'm uncertain which part do I need to order:

Heater Blower Resistor Fan ( http://ift.tt/1KUYSl1)

or

Renault Scenic II Heater Blower Fan Resistor PLUS Wiring Loom Harness ( http://ift.tt/1l4NUVk)

or
SmartSense Heater/Blower Motor Resistor for Renault Megane Scenic/Grand MK II 2 ( http://ift.tt/1KUYSBm) - which maybe the same as the first link?

...or something else?

Really appreciate any help!

Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place!

'06 Espace 4 heater blower resistor location??

I have a '06 Espace with a non functioning heater blower, the switches and led display seem to be OK but when the fan switches are pressed nothing happens, after reading all the other similar heater problems it appears the resistor is the top suspect and first on the list to check, but where is it? is it in the dash or somewhere else?

Laguna II ignition light on and revs in 3000rpm

Hello, I have been browsing the forum but couldn't really find a solution to a problem I recently started having with my laguna II 2.0T. The story is that everything goes fine until the engine warms up to a normal temp, then the ignition light (if that's the correct term, anyway this one in top center position http://ift.tt/1Q6uACF) switches on together with esp and service. The revs goes to 2500-3000rpm and stays there and nothing happens from the gas pedal. I have tried to change coils but that didn't help. Would anyone have any further suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance.

electrical issue with new traffic

I have a two month old traffic dci 140 sport
Driving home the other night the radio made a droning noise and the whole cab area started shuddering and vibrating I pulled over switched the van off and removed the key. The droning noise and shuddering continued and the whole dashboard remaind illuminated as it would with the keys in the ignition. I pulled the bonnet the engine was idle, so I removed the main battery lead and the droning and shuttering stopped. I then reconnected the battery and everything was fine. Then yesterday whilst driving the volume from the r link radio system stopped also the volume from the hands free kit stopped working again I removed and reconnected the battery and everything went back to normal.
Has anyone else had any similar problems

Hi, hope someone can give some advice/guidance.. I have a 2010 Renault traffic that I let my young nephew plug his new gizmo in (Lauch x431 or something)...now my radio and sat nav have no sound...sat nav still takes address/postcode but no sound directions... also has “connect diag unit” at bottom of screen, any help or direction would be great, I was present when he plugged in and didn’t see him change any settings, as he only wanted to see what Launch unit had on it.....
Thanks

F9Q 1.9dci kangoo fails to start first time

I have been having a few issues with my 2003 1.9DCi Kangoo Trekka.

Issue started with not always having (electric) power steering on start up, Engine always started, solution would be to stop engine, restart and usually on 2nd or 3rd attempt all would be good.

Changed Engine Speed/Camshaft Position Sensor and also Crank Shaft Sensor. Now, engine will turn over but not fire (most of the time) 2nd attempt engine will fire and sometimes no power steering. If required 3rd attempt engine will run and power steering. Occasionally engine will start and Injection Warning Light flashing and Stop lit.

Once running - engine runs very well with revs and power etc. Previously before replacing sensors Injection Warning light would flicker on and rev counter may drop but no change in engine sound, this has not happened since changing the Crank Shaft Sensor.

Electrical connections have been checked and cleaned to the battery.

Any suggestions most welcomed - thank you!

Scenic tyres: 17" vs 16" am I going to note any difference in ride quality?

Anyone has experience with grand scenic with 17" alloys? Getting a new one but the pack I want include an "upgrade" to bigger alloys, which I am not too keen on. Am I likely too see any difference in ride quality or the difference is too small to notice? Especially on rough surfaces and country lanes?

Fuel Gauge and range

Hi all. I have recently had a problem with the fuel gauge and range on my scenic 2 57 plate. It is giving me erratic readings. When I put in £20 of diesel from I assume reserve. I get 4 levels and a range of 280 miles .... i do about 3 miles and turn off the engine. Next day i would get just the reserve light and the beep and nothing on the range..... park up again i i would get a random 1-4 levels back on the fuel gauge. and the appropriate range. Could the fuel sender be faulty and replace ? I have done the reset switch on the wiper stick and everything resets. apart from the fuel gauge. I have disconnected the battery hoping the ecu would reset but this hasn't worked either.

Thanks.


Fuel Gauge and range

Trafic LL29 DCi 115

Help!! I'm desperate for advice on what to do, I know nothing about engines or repair and think I'm being ripped off by the garage. I've had no problem with my Trafic for 5+years until the timing belt went in July.
I was recommended a garage who recovered and replaced the engine for £3200 (£2500 engine + £700 labour), he said it was a 55000 mile engine in perfect condition with 6 months warranty.
It now drives terrible it shakes and rattles, I've stalled a few times even on the motorway 3rd lane the engine was struggling and cut out. Every time I start the engine there is excessive blue smoke and smell from the exhaust. Mechanic said to go and buy Cataclean and use it, so I spent £18.60 on a tin, drove 300mile non-economically and still the smell and smoke is the same, then he said its the injectors and he would replace them at no cost.
Just over a week later my steering went just as I pulled off and liquid everywhere, he came got my car and replaced power steering pipe for £242. He also replaced 2 of the injectors(used from my old engine) and said I would have to bring back because he is waiting for the other injectors to arrive.
September M.O.T. time £156 he replaced tie rod end left and right. He also said he did the other injectors (I think he just cleaned not replaced) the smoke is still there to this date not as excessive but still there and now the steering feels awful really light and anything on the road would send the wheels in a different direction.
I replaced all the tyres before M.O.T. and 3 weeks later the fronts are bold. I took it back to him and he did the tracking without charge but I was still left with bold tyres.
On Friday my Trafic broke down again, I called him he recovered it and messaged this morning telling me my car is fixed and he wants £660 for replacing the alternator.
I cant afford to pay him anymore, if I pay this then I would have paid him £4276.64 since July and this is nearly half my annual income.
Please if anybody has any advice for me it will be very appreciated, should this cost be covered by the 6month warranty? the car drives and feels like crap, what can I do?

Lighting fault when running after flat battery

Hi,
First time on this forum, so hi; I hope you can come to my rescue.

To cut a long story short returned to my clio 172 this evening. I turned it on as normal and then took a phone call, just before I hung my call up. I noticed the lights dip and then die and then the car would not start - flat battery!

I eventually managed to start the car on the second attempt. Will be getting a new battery tomorrow.
However, now I presume I have blown a fuse.

The lights function normally when in each position on the light stalk with ignition off but when I start the car the lights are now functioning in a faulty manner. Position one on the stalk is full beam, position two is half bean and position three is full beam. Is this a blown fuse or is it something more sinister?

Kind regards,
David

Can anyone identify this Clio part please?

My Renault Clio Hatchback (01-08) 1.5 dCi 65 Expression (65bhp) 3d (AC) spat out this part recently from beneath the drivers side dashboard onto my lap. The fan was on full so I suspect it may be part of that system.

New ignition barrel problems

Hi, this is probably in the wrong place but I can't seem to work my way around here very well on my phone ?. I'm on holiday in Spain and my 2002 scenic 1.9 dci ran wonderfully, nipped to the shops for provisions but when I returned to the car it would not start. I got recovered to my friends house where the next day I got to work, battery, tubes, bits and bobs out to get to the starter motor, I could only guess a cable had worked loose on the journey and needed refitting, but no, everything was as it should be. The ignition barrel did not feel right and on closer inspection I discovered when turned fully as if to start the car the key would not spring back as it should. I was taken to a local scrap yard where I got an ignition barrel and key, swapped them over, changed the internals to the key fobs but it still doesn't turn over?? All the lights come on, the ignition barrel and immobiliser ring are back in place, but the starter doesn't even try to turn, it's raining heavily, I'm wet through, cold, miserable and out of ideas, but the kettle is on!! Can anyone help please.

DPF on Scenic 3

Hi All, I have a Scenic 3 1.5 DCI 110 with a check emissions error. I read the fault code as PB047B (as I recall) which is a pressure sensor on the exhaust. It would make sense that the DPF may be blocked as the car has 80K Miles. I reset the fault but it comes back after a few engine restarts. I have tried giving the car a good run on the motor way with the fault code off, but it still comes back. So I suspect a DPF clean is the next step. I see a company called (DPF SERVICE IRELAND, Carrickmacross) who tell me they will clean it and on the phone they seemed OK. Has any one dealt with this company and could you recommend them. Also they will collect the DPF but I will need to remove it. Has any one done that how hard is it to remove? Also where are the DPF pressure sensors located I would like to check these if possible before I go down this path.

2003 Scenic 1.4 16v hesitant when cold

Hi all,

As above. Starts and idles fine when cold but if you come off the throttle it will miss a little and is lumpy when you go back on throttle.

Problem disappears when warmed up.

New plugs helped but not cured.

Maybe a coil? Although I would have thought worse when hot?

Laguna newbie!!

Hi everybody! Just signed on the dotted line for a Laguna III dCti (hope I got that bit right?!) auto on a '59 plate. Great condition, great history with 1 owner and low mileage. Lagunas weren't even on my radar until I came across a mint manual version while helping my son to find a cheap car. After checking his car over and driving it for a few days, I thought: "This is a nice car and such good value for money!" In fact, I was so impressed that I went out and bought one for myself. Probably a bit late to be asking now - but what should we be watching out for as new owners and can we expect any nasty surprises?

Kangoo 1.9D New Engine

Hi guys, I recently became the owner of an S plate Kangoo for very cheap (£200) No rust or body issues but does have a blown engine. As part of the deal it comes with a replacement engine that just needs fitting (1.9D non turbo) Now, with the replacement engine sat on the bench it makes sense to change a few of the harder parts before it gets fitted. I'm going to swap the cam belt, idlers and water pump. I'm not really clued up on diesels, is there anything else you guys would recommend I change while the lump is out of the van? Also, is the cam belt straight forward enough on these? I've done cam belts before but never on a Renault or a diesel. Sorry for the essay! Any tips would be appreciated.

2012 Megane r-link upgrade

Hello!

I've just purchased a 2012 Megane coupe dynamique which has TomTom sat nav. I just wondered if it's possible to update the system to r-link? I can't figure out how to go back out of the sat nav to get to the r-link screen so am assuming I wasn't added and it's just a sat nav.

Any ideas?

Dashboard failing

The dashboard in the car is sometimes blinking on and off, sometimes it goes completely dark, sometimes it just fades. It does this at 60mph and it does it while you're sitting in traffic. Figures like the fuel range go crazy and obviously can't be trusted. The rest of the car seems to work. Sometimes the beep sound of the key fob locking the doors is made even when driving along. Wife finding it a bit stressful at the moment.

Any ideas gentlemen?

[SIZE="<font><font>3</font></font>"]Two weeks ago I bought my 2nd megane ii 2007 dci. Loved my first one and when it got totalled, I purchased same again.
long story short, the issues recorded by service history are drivers window regulator, this is the 3rd one installed.. 1st time at 70k, again at 108k, and again at 141k, the other things I noted were the previous owners, had made a complaint to Renault dealer about the boot light, asked that it be left without a bulb.. HMMM??
The drivers side headlight had melted so badly it has a "winky eye" look to it. I have attached photos of that one. its had the transmission solenoid done under warranty, it has had the steering arm replaced at about 120k and then @ 131k the drive shaft spline stripped apparently. for my roadworthy, they had to replace the front tyres as they were worn on the inside. { I will need to keep my eye on that- not sure if its a side affect of the front end work, or if there is an underlying problem} it drives smooth and straight, so not a wheel balance or alignment issue. Someone had also turned of the MIL warning about the EGR valve as it was making a hell of a racquet.And when I connected to the diagnostics, it had registered EGR previously and said it was was pending again??
I had a brand new EGR from my other car, so I fitted that immediately, and am cleaning the other one for 50k rotations. this engine work I performed on car with battery still connected as I didn't have radio code, and still no MIL registered or needed clearing. {which it did on my old one}I'm a bit suspicious about that. :confused::confused:
I shood mention It has a factory towbar fitted as well.

Ok now to the immediate drama, I thought I would put the bulb back in the boot as it really would be handy to see in there at night. BIG MISTAKE.:eek:
immediately the wipers came on and wouldn't turn off, check auto light was on dash, and no internal lights worked, no map lights or door lights. I had to manually turn off wipers, and I removed the boot light immediately. but still no internal lights.
What do u guys think??
Is she a big electrical lemon??Is this kind of drama gonna be ongoing? doesn't look promising from the service history??
or is this something I can handle and it will be another experience with knowledge gained..

Fuel problem

Hi Guys, I have a Renault scenic 2004 reg. Yesterday I parked up and my 'miles range' started going down from 76 miles to 46 miles in around 2 minutes. I started driving again and this started creeping up again. I stopped at a traffic lights and it went down again at a pace!

Please someone help me!

Twingo 2010 rear brakes

Hi all

Can some knowledgable person advise me of the torque setting for the rear hub nut?
Also is the handbrake adjusted inside or under the car?
I'm having trouble locating a workshop manual for the Twingo would the Clio II manual have most of the info in as i believe it used the Clio floorpan?

Many thanks

Megane privilege saloon - electronics - boost pressure

Hi
Yesterday I got the "check injection" or "check injectors" warning intermittently, so I went to a friendly garage to get diagnostic. They found that it was the boost pressure sensor, and said it would be either the wiring or the sensor or both.....

Any idea of cost for this to be fixed? Don't want to get ripped off, my car seems to be a money pit as it is and I am feeling sad!!

Thank you so much

Claire

Scenic 3 dci black/grey smoke

Hi all,

Over the last few weeks I have noticed excessive black/grey smoke coming from the exhaust of my Scenic under hard acceleration. I've already changed the air filter using a genuine Renault filter which hasn't made any difference. There are no engine warning lights on at all and I'm still getting great MPG with no power loss which makes me think the injectors are ok. It also starts on the button cold and hot. I have also tried an EGR cleaning spray as well. Has anyone encountered the same problem and can suggest what I check next? It's a 1.5dci 106.

Cheers
J

Scenic 2 1.5d spluttering! help

Hi guys wondering if you can shed some light on my 53 plate scenic 2... so here goes

Had 2 injectors replaced and coded... week later oil pressure light came on so I replaced sensor and done a oil change... that same night it started spluttering under acceleration in 1st 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear.... it got so bad that it cut out and I broke down...

Pulled over restarted fine went to pull away cut out straight away... low voltage warning... next day scanned it .. 3 codes... pre heat... ac refrigerant and sensor feed voltage to low...

Replaced battery cleared codes.. still chugs

Reset egr adaptations drove car about 30 seconds down the road cut out...

On the live data (snap on modis ultra) with the car running the battery volts peaked at 48v.... with it off and ignition on it peaked 54... after turning it off and re checking it went from 2v up to 54v ??? Any ideas on why it loses power to the point of stalling

Laguna 2.2 dci 2003 heating problems

Hello. As the winter gets closer , I noticed my 2003 laguna 2.2dci is not heating the interior as it used to.
It's pretty weird actually , sometimes it heats really good , sometimes it heats when it reaches 30% of motor temperature , and sometimes when it heats it stops heating and blows cold air.
Also I noticed that sometimes the dashboard where you control temperature etc shows it's working , but no air is being blown in. Then I stop the car and start it again and it works again.
What could be the issue here? How to fix it? Please advise , I'm driving cold every morning :crazy:

2003 1.2 16v Clio - flat spot and wheeze

Today,whilst driving from cold, my sons Clio temporarily lost power, spluttered and then recovered but felt a bit flat on initial acceleration. Back home we've checked it out and it starts fine and idles smoothly but on acceleration the engine briefly flat spots whilst a short wheezing sound is heard from the rear top section of the inlet manifold. there is another thread on here highlighting the same issue but no clear cause or fix is mentioned. I should say that the car had been running fine before being left for a week without use. Any help or advice is much appreciated. Cheers

Clio radio antenna

I have changed the headunit to an aftermarket one in my 2010 mk3 clio but the radio reception is now poor.

I think the 12V feed to the antenna base may have been lost.

I would be grateful if someone could tell me where the antenna gets the 12V feed from to save me having to remove the roof lining?

I assume its one of the wires in the harness plug in the back of the radio but which one?

Airbag light

Hi all,
So a couple of months ago I crashed my car (2008 Clio Campus - so still the mark II model) the air bags didn't deploy but ever since the airbag light and service light has been on. I have changed the Airbag ECU, Pretensioner and checked the cabling under the seats and still no luck. Using a diagnostic tool I have been given an error code of "91 - airbag locking switch open or short circuit to battery" I can find nothing relating to this on the internet so i dont know where to even start, hoping someone can shine some light on me...
Thank you

Heater Control Illumination (bulbs)

Hello,

I have a 2005 Laguna Sport Tourer. Two of the bulbs have stopped working that light up the heater control panel. I have had the unit out. There are three bulbs. The middle one is working. Renault say I need to buy the whole unit for £130.00 plus VAT. The bulbs are cased in a blue sleeve that twist into place on the circuit board. You have to push it out the back to release it. The bulb is attached to the housing. I pulled the bulb out but that broke the connection so I can just push a new one in.

I have searched the internet and been to car parts suppliers with no luck.

Has anyone got any ideas or found a fix?

Espace 3.5 V6 Auto to Manual conversion

Hi new to the site and I am probably going to ask the impossible! I have a 2004 Grand Espace 3.5 V6 and it is a beautiful rare car but I hate the auto gearbox. Can a manual conversion be done? Yes I know it involves not only the box but the pedals, master cylinder, ecu etc but was wondering if there are parts out there that would fit. Yes its a lot of labour too but would be carried out by myself and my mechanic friend. I think the car would be awesome with a manual box. I hope my first post tests you all!! Cheers

Kia Venga de-misting problems etc

Hi people

My other half has issues with her Kia Venga not demisting well whilst we have been having these wet days. She bought it used middle of this year and air con has always worked really well giving nice cold air so we are confused how this isn't helping clear the screen rapidly?! My Clio which I got recently has the modern luxury of air con haha, and I've been pleased to see my screen clears nice and quickly. I had my air con serviced when I got it as it wasn't working and needed re-gassing etc.
So anyway we are wondering what might be causing the slow mist clearance and what can be done? She even has put a dehumidifier bag in the car in case there is excess moisture within the car?

Hope someone can help?!

Ps not that it probably matters, but it's a 2010 Diesel engine version.

Which engine should I pick for a new Grand Scenic?

Hi this is my first post, sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I am looking to get a new Grand Scenic and I am not sure if I should pick the 1.6dci(130) or the 1.2TCE (also 130bhp) .

I currently have a 2007 Scenic II 1.6VVT and I find it
- a bit underpowered
- way too noisy at motorway speed.

Consumption doesn't bother me much, the mileage is not going to be high enough to make a big difference.

I am not going to pull anything or travel fully loaded often

It has to be quiet when doing long trips.

I am worried that too many short journeys would not suit the diesel this and it would take ages to warm up in winter.
Our usage varies a lot: 6x journeys less than 4 miles, 2x 30miles round trips on A roads; possibly one 90miles motorway round trip.

I don't care about service costs or resale value as I am going for a 3 years lease, in fact diesel is cheaper to lease (I save around £20/month) which is appealing.

Which should I pick?

Laguna sports tourer 2006 intermitant power loss

Hi I have a 2006 laguna sports tourer ii about 18 months ago I had the particulate filter removed and it has run perfectly since until a couple of months ago. occasionally it would lose power like it had gone into limp mode but no warning light. it is now getting more frequent in fact almost every day it will randomly lose power and then kick back in although the kicking back in is getting less and less. Any idea's would be much appreciated.

Trafic poor power at low revs (solved)

2008 Trafic 1.9 diesel

Was running fine, then had new timing chain fitted and after that noticed no low down grunt / power under 2000 revs.

Thought at first chain maybe put on wrong. But did not look into that.

Then checked all air intake hoses for leaks. No difference
Then took off MAFF sensor and cleaned it. No difference
Then bought new turbo boost sensor. No difference
Then did injector bleed test. Found number 4 was leaking back.

So decided leaky injector was dropping pressure in common fuel rail causing lack of power.

Had to decide what to do and in end because mileage was high 260k not worth spending money on engine. Better to fit brand new engine.

Fitted new EGR valve with new engine and new Turbo.

No difference. Still lack of power at low revs :(

ffs

Only thing wasn't new at this stage was MAFF sensor.

Fitted new MAFF sensor. Sorted :)

ok long way round for short cut. But I have perfect running brand new engine. Lovely.

But recommend always try MAFF sensor. Even just borrow another one for a trial.

Clio rev 2000rpm constant - no throttle response

Ok so the wee clio was only on the road 2 days from having the wishbone replaced and now i have been hit with this problem which i don't have much clue about. Its a 1.2 2004 clio.

So it started a few months back when to test the clio out i give it heaps of rev then changed the gear and i mean it would be near maxxed on revs then change gear and the clio would stall and bring up this warning light (down below) that was my first encounter of this problem. after turning off and on the ignition the clio would run 100% unless i was to rev out each gear so didn't seem much of a problem to me.

I did a bit of offroading yesterday and got the underneath of the car quite muddy but no heavy hits or anything like that so today i did about 10 miles driving then went to start the car up from being at a shop and noticed this light appeared but it was driving fine. so about 10 miles later and the fuel tank near empty i parked up at a friends house for about 30 mins then went to start it up and the car has no throttle response and revs constant at 2000 rpm when i give the throttle a go the rev indicator drops as if taking off from the clutch. The engine management light is now also on after i disconnected the battery and put it back on.

I see a lot of different suggestions on other posts some quite pricey its quite surprising how it just decided to give up like that. Any suggestions would help i'm gonna give the throttle body a clean tomorrow and check the wiring + fuses.Ok so the wee clio was only on the road 2 days from having the wishbone replaced and now i have been hit with this problem which i don't have much clue about.

does anyone have a diagram showing which colour goes where on the blue plug?

Espace Mk1V 3.0 dci 181hp

Hi, I have a strange issue with my espace, when engine is put under load it hesitates quite a bit between 2/3 thousand rpm, if I ease off a little I can drive through it but it still happens under any acceleration. I've put a new air flow meter on it, egr valve was clean but I've blanked it off anyway, there are no vacuum leaks and no leaks anywhere on inter cooler or pipes, no faults showing anywhere under diagnostics either.
I'm now completely stumped as to what's causing this.
Has anyone got any ideas I might have missed ?

Renault Clio 2001 1.2 16v, Immobiliser fault after changing ECU kit

Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with my 2001 Clio, 1.2 16v. I have recently changed the ECU along with the UCH and ignition sensor thing (as i had intermittent electrical faults with my wipers, windows and indicators etc) and now when I try to turn the engine over, with this new ECU kit in, nothing happens. The immobiliser light flashes fast when the key is turned on. The engine doesn't even try to turn over and there is just a click in the UCH box.

I have received the parts from a renault specialist and they all came from the same vehicle so they should not need re-coding. I was told it may have something to do with the "top injection wiring loom"..

any ideas? :(

Carminat satnav needs replacing Espace IV

My satnav glitches for the first mins of every journey, especially first thing in the morning. After 5 mins it stays on and works fine until I switch off the engine. The problem seems to be the disk reader. The Renault garage cleaned the disk and ran some tests but cannot fix it. They tell me I need to replace the whole system for EUR 1,750! Has anyone had similar trouble or any suggestions?

2007 Trafic ABS - DF011

I've just picked up a 2007 Trafic - low mileage, decent condition, but the ABS light is on (along with SERV, STOP and the brake warning light of course - was one light not enough for Renault?)

Fault code shows DF011 - Solenoid Valve Supply.

Reading the live data, everything seems fine - wheel speeds all read OK, but the "computer supply voltage" reads 0.00v - sometimes flicks up to 0.08v.

I checked all the wiring - the two wires from the battery seem fine and undamaged, and read battery voltage at the ABS ECU, and the feed via the 5A fuse in the passenger side of the dash also read battery voltage. I've checked and cleaned the two earth connections at the earth point above the ABS unit too (several times).

I've fitted another ABS unit with the same part number and still have the same fault.

I've tried to borrow a van (two) to swap ABS pumps, but neither had the same part number as mine does.

Any suggestions, because I'm out of ideas here.

Thanks in advance.

Stereo Upgrade - Clio 1.25 Dynamique 2003

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I've just bought my first car (can you guess what it is?) and I'm wanting to do the young driver clique and upgrade my stereo. Could anyone tell me what I'm gunna need (if I was to diy). I've heard of straight up replacement speakers but a lot of them say door speakers, and I was under the impression that the speakers are on the dash?? It would be brilliant if someone could give me an idea of what speaker I should be looking for.

(I have upgraded the stereo itself but I'm not sure of the exact model - Mutant with Bluetooth,aux,usb and sd card and I'm pretty sure it says 100x4watt or something along them lines)

Cheers,Brooks.

ESPACE MKII Back Brakes Compatibility

Hi,

Car is a Renault Espace Mk II - Petrol.

The back brakes are drum type and the Haynes manual shows that they can be either Bendix or Girling.

From the images in the Haynes manual I appear to have the Girling type but I can only find Bendix available to buy.

The shop states the two products are interchangeable but also need the pistons changed as they are of differing size dependant on the manufacturer.

That the 2 manufacturers product would be interchangeable makes sense except for the fact that the images in Haynes show the point where the calipers fit at the bottom to be quite different.

Anyone know anything about this? I don't want to buy them - try to fit and then find I am stuck - as currrently travelling.

Rgds.

Scenic clutch bleeding problem

Help please, I've just replaced the clutch on my 2004 1.9 dci Scenic with a single mass kit but cannot get the clutch to bleed properly. I initially bled it using a syringe and drew the fluid through the slave bleed nipple. I tried to start the engine a few hours later. But the pedal went to the floor. I have tried forcing the fluid back through the resevoir from the nipple and power bled it twice but every time the pedal is spongy after a few hours or overnight. There is no signs of leaks at the M/cylinder but what is the best way to bleed it? It seems to me that is where the problem lies.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

ECU or Multi timer unit renault clio 52 reg

getting confused now is the multi timer unit and the ECU the same thing or not and what is the BCM, having problems with central locking could be due to rain leak was planning on having a look at what i presumed was the ECU located behind the fusebox, i have looked through the haynes manual and it says that behind the fusebox is a multitimer unit and if the multitimer unit is disconnected then it has to be reprogrammed by a professional. the reason i'm getting confused is that i have been told that the ECU is located behind there so guys which is it ? and the main question is if i unplug whichever it is will my car need reprogamming sorry if i have confused anyone else.

thanks

windscreen film

Firstly I hope Im posting in the right section.

Have a foggy film on the outside of the windscreen whenever it gets wet. It has a pattern on it must be where the water has run down in the rain. Ive attached a photo.

Have tried scrubbing it using detergent, toothpaste as an abrasive and vinegar to try and break it up but nothing fetches it off.

I dont use wax to clean.

Are there any suggestions what might have caused it? And what I can use to try and get it off?

Renault Master sluggish

My Renault Master LM35 dci120 ex ambulance is really sluggish. Won't rev, was doing 15mph on a hill today ad no matter what gear it went into it was still slow and low revs. it has done it before and a bottle of redex resolved it for a while but now does it all the time. Then suddenly, it will get power back and be fine. Sometimes the gloplug light will come on around same time, sometimes it doesn't. Is it a fuel problem? Any ideas gratefully received!

Renault 19... immobiliser/ fuel supply

Hi there " IT JUST WON'T START"

Just bought a Renault 19 1994 M reg 1.4 RTI, single point injection, with 43kmiles! on the clock. and with a lot of service history. 480.00 spent at last mot 1 year ago.
It as stood outside for a year . It was a little bit moist! Its battery showed 1volt. The electrics were dead . But all the electrics work now, windows mirrors sunroof etc.

It has an infra red remote central locking and immobiliser key, which I know is now working.

The central locking works.

There is also a central locking button on the dashboard. There is a little red flashing light on the steering column in front of the steering wheel.

There is a key and key switch in the glove box. This key stops the little red light on the steering column when used. The little red light just flashes continuously, so it does not come on steady when the infra red key goes in the ignition or when you open the car using it. And I have never seen it go out except when I operate the key switch in the glovebox.

There is no indicators flashing when you lock the car with the remote to say it has been alarmed.

The car just WILL NOT START no matter how long you turn it over.

The car STARTS IMMEDIATELY when you drop a bit of petrol down into the throttle body,past the injector.

When I switch the ignition on I don't hear any fuel pump action and I have removed the carpet and rubber cover to access it in the boot.

HELP ME DECIDE

Is the immobiliser cutting the fuel supply?

Is there a fuel supply problem independent from the immobiliser.

All fuses are intact. There is power to all relevant fuses with the ignition on. Except for the 30amp one in a plastic box on the front o/s wing. There is a relay in this box which I have tested and works. This box also has the same two coloured wires coming out of it as does the key operated switch in the glovebox.

Any help and guidance in this would be brilliant.

mcteg.

Help - have replaced battery in key card, but display not reset

Good evening we are virgin Renault owners and picked up out 04 Megane Expression Auto only yesterday.

The display indicated the card battery required replacing, which was kindly done by the dealer for us. The fob behaves as it should (no complaints there) but can't reset the display for love nor money!

I have browsed this forum and have attempted:

1. Replacing battery and pressing unlock 4 times
2. Replacing battery and locking then unlocking car 5 times
3. Put card in slot and pressing start 10 times without brake

Plus some other suggestions which have now dribbled out of my brain through my ears... I know it's not imperative to clear this message, but it's really irritating so please help. :confused:

Megane coupe poor handling

Hi everyone.
My 02 megane has recently started to handle strangely. When I go round a right hand bend, it feels as if the back end is "tucking under" the car, almost as if the back is steering. Over rough ground, the back tries to break away completely. The tyres were worn, so I replaced all 4 but it made no difference at all. I have recently had a track rod end changed but don't know if this is related.
Hope someone can help.

Scenic CVT question

Right, I'm struggling to find out how much oil the CVT transmission holds on my Scenic (it's a 2010 2L petrol)!

I've scoured the internet high and low and so far found nothing

A call to two different dealers got me two completely different answers! (One said 4 litres and the other 8)

Being it's not cheap stuff, I was hoping for a more definitive answer.

Anyone have any idea!

I'm guessing it might be the same unit as used in the Quasqai and Juke but there must be some renault tech info on this transmission!

2000 2.2 DCi small coolant leak

For the last few weeks I had to top up coolant by about 1 litre after a day's driving. I searched high and low looking for a leak without luck and was worried it was a cylinder head problem. Just by luck whilst prodding around with the water hoses I noticed a dribble of coolant.
There is a coolant sensor on top of the thermostat housing held in place by a plastic circlip, after removing it I found the little rubber seal was causing the leak, £3.90 inc VAT from the dealer and problem solved.

Just thought I would share this incase it happens to anyone else.

ABS Problem Error Code DF017 Megane2 1.5dci 2006

Please HELP!!! I have a megane 2 1.5dci 2006
ABS light was on, had it read and was coming up nsf bearing and osf sensor.

Replaced both hubs and abs sensors light went off. However the speedo fluctuates between approx 15mph and 8 mph when accelerating even when you are going about 30mph still same. The break pedal goes very hard struggles to stop. press hard on pedal and it makes a banging noise and pulsates bad on the pedal then finally stops.

Unplug a sensor and abs light comes on but speedo and breaking is perfect. Plug it back in light goes off but still same problem.

Took it to a garage had everything read on the computer and even tested the sensors, abs pump etc all working perfectly. The only code on the machine was DF017 electrical fault.

Ive tried almost everything and am at my wits end.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Paul

Megane ii 1.5 dci, the temperature pointer not coming to the halfway

Hello,

I have Megane Sedan 1.5 dci 86 hp. Lately, I gave it to a friend for annual maintenance to clean EGR valve, the throttle, changing the oil and coolant, filters and so on.

The car seems fine after the maintenance however, the temperature gauge was coming right into the middle before the changes and now, after the maintenance, after it gets warm, it is not coming sharp to the middle but a little to the left, it is a very small discrepancy but still stuck in my mind. Do you have any idea what it might be, thermostat works fine and as I did not have any problem before the maintenance, can be related one of the changes that I have mentioned?

Just to add that the fuel consumption is okay

Thanks in advance for having a look at the topic!

Limp mode 2001 diesel

Hi all. I have a megavan 1.9 diesel (non turbo) which when I start goes into some sort if a limp mode. The engine sits a 1000rpm with no response from the accelerator. I have to turn it off wait a couple of seconds and restart for it to go back to normal. This happens every time the engine has been turned off for any period of time.
I managed to get some codes from the ecu, I hope these will help.
Df066. Feul flow actuator position. Memorised fault.
Df061.Preheated plugs circuit.
There doesn't seem to be any other issues with the van apart from the above problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I have slight problem with my clio because I would like to fit bit bigger tyres and rims that ware stock and this is where my problem comes in to play I fit 195/55/16 at the rear but they won't fit at front as front suspension takes lot of space...
and I'm planning on lowering the car on 40mm lowering springs
so what size of spacers should I get in order to fit those wheels? or should I go back to 185, 15 inch wheels?

Thank you for your time!

Scenic 1.5dci head gasket fail ?

Started car and set off down to supermarket, BEEP BEEP "engine overheating " Cold air from heater matrix.
Pulled aside where safe and checked engine all looked ok, Matrix feed pipe hot and return line was cold, so I bled it and everything was fine for a few days.
A few days later same again.
I thought maybe thermostat or leak somewhere so decided to investigate.
First a sniff test, Liquid stayed BLUE.
No pics (Server timeout waiting for the HTTP request from the client)
Pressure tested to 15psi no drop in pressure.
Thermostat changed and again same happens.
Heater matrix changed and again the same.
Getting frustrated so I changed water pump with Renault genuine pump. Still the same.
I can only guess that the head gasket is pressurizing the water system but not showing during pressure test or sniff tests.
Called at three different garages and all quoting silly prices to replace head gasket, I'm unable to do this myself due to having no garage and parked on the roadside.
I'm going to try another garage tomorrow and if they want silly money it's off to be scrapped.
Anyone know of anyone in West Yorks able to help me out please ?

Scenic II 2008 2.0 Petrol - starts on low revs and halts, unless I kick in fuel

Hey guys, forgive me for bizarre English mistakes or the absolute lack of technical jargon. I'm from Israel and while I can speak English I've never talked about cars in English so plz bear with me ;)

Me and wife are super happy with my 2005 scenic so a week ago we bought wife a 2008 scenic with a 2 litre engine (both are Petrol and Automatic, like 99% cars in Israel).

Long story short, the seller told me I have to give some gas when I start the car and since my wife fails at doing so we've switched cars until I get that messy thing fixed.

What happens is the engine starts at low revs (~600) and quickly drops until it halts, unless I give some gas (i.e. press the gas pedal) and then it stabilizes on 700-800 revs where car shakes a bit but feels pretty working and doesn't stop.
If the car has been halted, the next start will begin with a few good seconds of cranking and then it would start and again quickly drop revs to halt unless I give some gas.
Once the car starts and stabilizes, it never stops, not in junctions or lights or anything - and it drives pretty smoothly.

There are no service lights and running torque on a bluetooth OBD reader says there are no faults.

I'm just getting into mechanic DYI jobs - got Haynes manual for the 2005 scenic (1.6 petrol) and replaced air filter, coils (had a faulty one) and oil filter. I got motivation and lots of good will taking things apart and hoping to get 'em back into place.

any help on identifying (and fixing) this issue will be super appreciated, especially by my wife who is dying to drive the car but fears she won't get it started.

2007 Espace - Radio/Sat nav doesn't turn off with the ignition

Hi,

When I got to work this morning I turned the ignition off as normal, but noticed that the radio and sat nav didn't turn off.

I think that the radio normally stayed on until I opened the door?

When I lock the key with the keycard the radio/satnav goes off.

It all re-starts normally when I start the car.

Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Any suggestions where I should start fault finding?

Many thanks

Matthew

Removing passenger seat

Hi all,

I need to transport a fairly large fridge freezer on Friday in my 2002 1.2 16v Clio Expression (MK2) . I've measured it and it will fit, but only if the front passenger seat is removed (and back seats of course, but that is easy!).

My question is - is it safe to just remove the front seat with the 4 under-car bolts, disconnect the airbag/pre-tensioner connections under the seat and remove? Will it risk the airbag deploying when I start the engine with the seat out? Alternatively, is it possible to just remove the backrest and leave the seat in place?

I've seen quite a few posts suggesting disconnecting the battery when changing seats, but they assume the seat will be reconnected when the engine restarts.

Thanks in advance!

James

Megane 2005 oasis, power loss when driving

The car starts and ticks over okay and runs well for about 10 minutes and then at any speed the power stops for a few seconds and then picks back up and accelerates away. The engine is running throughout the problem. We have had a diagnostic test and there is no faults given. We have had the fuel pump replaced in the tank and there is a relatively new battery on the car. Can anyone help?

The Irish have a way about em

Bloke at a horse race whispers to Paddy next to him,
"Do you want the winner of the next race?"
Paddy replies "No tanks, oi've only got a small yard."


Paddy and Mick found 3 hand grenades and decided to take them to the police station.
Mick "What if one explodes before we get there?"
Paddy: "We'll lie and say we only found two!"


A coach load of paddies on a mystery tour decided to run a sweepstake to guess where they were going.....
the driver won £52!

Paddy finds a sandwich with two wires stickin out of it.
He phones the police and says "Bejasus I've just found a sandwich dat looks like a bomb."
The operator asks, "is it tickin?
Paddy says "No, oi tink it's beef"


Joe says to Paddy: "Close your curtains the next time you're making love to your wife.
The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday."
Paddy says: "Well the joke's on them because I wasn't even at home yesterday."



Mick walks into Paddy's barn and catches him dancing naked in front of a tractor.
Mick says, "Oi Paddy, what ya doing?"
Paddy says, "Well me and Mary haven't been getting on in the bedroom lately & the therapist recommended I do something sexy to a tractor."



The Irish have solved their own fuel problems.
They imported 50 million tonnes of sand from the Arabs and they're going to drill for their own oil...


Paddy says to Mick - I'm ready for a holiday, only this year I'm going to do it a bit different.
3 years ago I went to Spain and Mary got pregnant.
2 years ago I went to Italy and Mary got pregnant.
Last year I went to Majorca and Mary got pregnant."
Mick asks - So what are you going to do this year?."
Paddy replies, - I'll take her with me!"

Paddy says to Mick, "Christmas is on a Friday this year"
Mick says "Let's hope it's not the 13th."

Paddy's in the bathroom and Murphy shouts to him. "Did you find the shampoo?"
Paddy says, "Oi did, but it's for dry hair and I've just wet mine."

Age.

A family is at the dinner table. The son asks the father, “Dad, how many kinds of boobs are there?”

The father, surprised, answers, “Well, son, a woman goes through three phases. In her 20s, a woman’s breasts are like melons, round and firm. In her 30s and 40s, they are like pears, still nice, hanging a bit. After 50, they are like onions.” “Onions?” the son asks. “Yes. You see them and they make you cry.”

This infuriated his wife and daughter. The daughter asks, “Mom, how many different kinds of willies are there?”

The mother smiles and says, “Well, dear, a man goes through three phases also. In his 20s, his willy is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his 30s and 40s, it’s like a birch, flexible but reliable. After his 50s, it’s like a Christmas tree.” “A Christmas tree?” the daughter asks. “Yes, dead from the root up and the balls are just for decoration.”

Where We Come From.

The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, "We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now."


The child ran back to his father and said, "You lied to me!" His father replied, "No, your mom was talking about her side of the family."

Clio MK3 bouncing when idle?

Hi

I posted in another thread of mine about this but thought I'd better make a thread just for this issue I'm having.

Basically getting a bobbing sensation when car idle at lights etc. It's sort of like the feeling if a lorry goes past or if someone in the car is fidgeting in their seat. It's not really bad but sort of random and the rpm needle appears to be steady.

I asked a local garage but he wasn't sure so kind of left it. I emailed another garage I've used before and they replied today saying sounds like it could be a misfire.

Yesterday I had a quick look and not managed to do much besides tighten some screws on jubilee clips holding pipes coming from the air filter. They weren't all that tight so I tightened them just in case air leak cult had been possible.

I've recently had new spark plugs in so hoping they're fine. I've also put in some Millers Eco Max fuel system cleaner to help give it a clean out so wondered if it could be occurring as part of a clean up?! My other halfs car had some in as it was a bit sluggish but it's recently developed a new lease of life and pulls loads better now.

Anyway I'm just trying to decide if such issue could be something which could work its way out the system? I've only had it a few month or so and no idea how the previous owner drove it - I suspect not much. It's overall excellent condition no other major issues and it's possibly just a minor niggle than anything. I just wanted to ask in case anyone here knew what it could be.
There's not much on the Internet and it's usually about unsteady idle whereas mine appears to be ok. Anything I have read of such things have said the issue went away - strangest comment I read said someone did a doughnut (why?!?!) and oddly after that the issue had gone!? Weird

Any thoughts on this please?!
Thanks

Clio 1.2 2004 brake then steering pulls to left

So I had new brake pads put in around a month ago. about 2 weeks ago the steering got very light/loose especially around full lock position. it also feels like im having to do more steering wheel rotating to get too full lock left or right position (could be my imagination from the loose steering). Yesterday i curbed the clio in a carpark while parking relatively slow.

Today after 40 miles driving the car steering will veer left when light braking and when letting off the brake with slight realignment on the road the car steering can feel slightly uncontrollable for a moment enough to give a fright.

Mechanic did say while replacing the pads he noticed a damaged metal ring which he replaced (something abs related i believe)(he reckoned the mechanic who had previously replaced a rubber boot caused this)

Any ideas on my problem (car is parked up untill fixed)

Appreciate the help in advance and sorry if the message is hard to understand iam using a virtual keyboard program :forehead:
