Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor P0545

Hi All

I currently have a Scenic 3 1.5 dci 2010. Runs lovely, starts ok seems to run perfect.

Last week I has the dreaded check injection system come up. So plugged the car into some obd software and it is showing EGT Sensor (p0545).

Does anyone know how to get to this? I have parted with a small forutne to get a replacement at £55 at the main dealers a couple of days ago..... its an expensive resistor!! :crazy:

Any advice would be appreciated............ I know its used to determine gas temp for DPF etc etc

cheers
Tony

Can anyone please advise?

Many thanks Tony

Egr valve be different?

Took out my old egr valve as it was showing as a fault on the diagnostics, replaced it and both are completely different I've attached a pic of the old one... The newer one seems to be a genuine Renault one that europarts etc stock.. Can these be interchangeable and would this also flag an engine management light on the dash? As mine just has after replacement!

Renault master 2006 2.5 dci injector seal replacement

Hi all,
My apologies if I posted this in the wrong place.I have a blowing from around an injector..its the second one from the left and I've a feeling it may have been caused by water running in from under the bonnet below the windscreen.I need advice on removing the injector to replace the copper washer/seal.
Where are the injector retaining bolts?are they to the left and right of the injector? What size are the bolts and does the injector simply lift out or are special tools needed?are the seals hard to remove and what are the torque settings?
Please help!
Many thanks.

Renualt trafic dci115 wiring diagram 2008

Hi I have a 2008 traffic dci115. It has a fault that effects the revs of the engine making them go up and down and the dash speedo also goes up and down. We have changed the abs sensor and this didn't work. It doesn't have a sensor on top of the gear box My mechanic thinks it could possibly be a wiring fault. Would anyone have an idea were I could get a wiring diagram from?
The only fault code is for the alternator. Could this be having anything to do with it?

many thanks in advance

Need AUX in my stereo

Hello
Im driving a Megane Touring 1.6 from 2004. I've seen on youtube that its possible to connect a AUX cable to the stereos rear end. Its looks like its very easy. My problem is, that my stereo is a little bit to old, its only possible on a stereo from the year 2005 ->, called "expert" "update list". I can get that one second hand very cheap. My question is:
Is it possible to chance the stereo using the same plugs and wires ? does it fit and so on.

Thanks for any kind of respons

Power steering pump pulley size - Espace 2001 2,2Dci

Hello all
I have a little bit of an issue here.

Needed a new power steering pump, so I ordered one online. I got the right pump, but the pulley is about 2 cm bigger than the old one (measured in diameter).

I could take it off and put on the old pulley, but then I have 2 issues:
- The old pulley looks worn out and the edges are cracked some places
- I think I would have to align this correctly according to the other pulleys

I also like the bigger pulley because it is made of steel and not plastic. But I am conserned about the aux belt, could this make it too tight so that it would break faster?
I was also thinking that a bigger pulley might result in less turns in the power steering pump, and lead to a more firm steering, might be a problem in low speeds?

Please give me your opinions, I am torn about what to do.

engine stall whilst driving?

Hi, I drive a 2003 1.4 petrol megane dynamique. It's a pretty good car for it's age, and hasn't had many problems at all. I've had the car for less than a year, and it's got it's weird starting thing, that on cold starts I have to rev it slightly for about 20 seconds until it's warmed up enough, otherwise it will cut out. I've established is a common fault, I'm not too worried about this problem though... I was driving last night and was going at about 40mph, just about to drop down into 4th as I was approaching another speed limit change. It was like my engine stalled, the dash told me to select neutral and to remove my key card. So I pulled over and just restarted it, and it drove normally. My rev's where at about 2500, so not low enough to actually stall it. I'm honestly stumped, I've been driving it round today, and it hasn't done it. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you think it could be related to my weird start problem?
I'm not really looking to change my car just yet, so I'm quite hopeful this a one off thing. Knowing my luck though it won't be!:d
If anyone has any clue, your input would be greatly appreciated! :)

1996 Espace No Headlights, sidelights or tail lights

I have a late Phase II Espace. While out the other night all was well until it was parked for unloading. When we came to return home, the engine was started and then the lights were turned on and nothing came on. No main or dipped beam, no sidelights and no light indicator on the instrument panel - normally a green for lights on and a blue for high beam. On opening the door the warning buzzer didn't sound. The following day I brought it home and checked the fuses. All appeared OK. I suspected the switch on the steering column and found the horn wasn't working either. The thick red lead to the switch appeared to be carrying 12 volts but nothing on the 3 output leads. Replaced the switch with a new unit and still nothing but the horn now works as does the radio which hasn't worked for months! This evening I have noticed that when I turn the lights on the 12 volts disappears from the red lead - no voltages on any of the connectors. According to the circuit diagram there is very little in the main beam circuit. Supply comes from always active +12 volts, through a couple of connectors (location unknown) and then to the switch. Connector R10 is shown as carrying all cables as well as the indicators which are working. Any suggestions as how to find the connectors as I think it must be a feed problem as the supply is split into 3 separate circuits after the switch. I have the later type fuse box set in the top of the glove compartment.

Running Problem Kangoo 1.9D 2002

Hi all, I have a 2002 Kangoo 65D 1.9D F8Q 600 Engine with the Lucas Epic Fuel Pump (semi electronic) it has no air flow sensor and the injection is mechanical.

I will try to give as much information as possible in the hope that it may aid some Diesel guru help solve the problem.

Yes it is a 600 engine, someone changed the engine earlier in its life, possibly from a Traffic. It originally left the factory with a 632 engine.

I have been trying to solve this problem for about a year now on and off.

The problem is that the engine will miss a beat every 4 seconds or so and the engine flutters as if its struggling and then continues as normal. Every so often the car will struggle to make any power at all and sound as if it is bogging down.

Usually messing about with it will make it work, but nothing inparticular seems to do the job.

The car has had new injectors, new fuel pump, new fuel lines (air was getting into them from the seals and fuel filter housing) and a new fuel filter housing. Timing belt was changed when the fuel pump was changed.

Yet the problem persists. I have heard that it could be several things but I was hoping someone on here might be able to narrow down the possibilities before I do anything more to it.

The things I have heard are, the RPM sensor in need of a clean. Chaffed wires around the area of the ECU. and faulty ECU.

I managed to get hold of an ECU from a 55D 2002 car but I havent connected it yet as I am unsure of its compatibility, maybe someone could confirm that for me.

The connector to the ECU has been messed with at some point and is held together with a zip tie. They obviously didnt know that the plastic clip to the side needed to be pulled out in order to release the connector and so broke the top of it off and its been bodge repaired.

Hopefully all of this might help in aiding a fix for the van as it is a great runner when running properly and has no other problems.

Kind regards
Paul

Scenic II blower smell & smoke when set to 4

Hello,

Sorry to say I joined just to ask a question! Not a Renault owner myself, but my partner has been having issues with her 2004 Scenic II 1.9dCi.

Recently when she sets the fan to 4, after a few minutes a foul burning smell will start coming out of the blowers, she says it's more pronounced on the drivers side. It happens most quickly with the engine and air con on but it'll happen with one or both switched off as well.

If it's left on long enough (if you can put up with the stink) a light almost invisible smoke can be seen coming from around the central blowers, though it's hard to identify exactly where since it's so faint.

The fan still works on 1-3 as fine, so I don't think it's a resistor issue but I'm no expert!

I'm going to get it booked into the garage for her but I'd like to have some idea what it could be before I do that, so any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Laguna II 2001 Electric Mirrors

Hi,

My mirrors were locked to going full left so I took apart the switch and cleaned it and they worked for a few times, but now they've stopped. I get nothing, as if the power is down, but the fold flat switch works so I guess there's power.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a wiring diagram for this one - is it simply the switch and mirrors or is there a control unit in the door, and does that interface with teh ECU? If I can see a wiring diagram I can hopefully debug it a little, but if anything's communicating with the ECU I'd rather not!

ANy help appreciated!

Thankjs

Leaking washer reservoir and hole?

Hey guys first post :)

Sorry if it's in the wrong place, been a long day and minds fried.

A while ago my washer nozzles stopped working and I eventually got round to fixing it earlier.

The problem was a valve that splits the washer fluid from either the front or rear. Fixed it thanks to a post made a while back by a user called jgildert. Thanks a lot on that btw :)

So anyway, I go to top up the reservoir pretty smug with my handy work (I'm by no means a mechanic so it was a pretty big moment for me :d) and hear water pouring out on the ground.

Turns out there's a fairly big gash in the wheel well under where the reservoir sits and is pouring out over my tyre.

My first question is how the hell did that happen? And my second is how do I fix it? Duct tape??

Am I right in presuming the reservoir should be a separate tank? If I fix the tank itself I should be alright?

The car is a mk 2 phase 2 54 plate 1.4 16v Clio

Thanks a lot guys :)

Kangoo 1.9D 51 plate fuel gauge issue

Hi there.

I purchased a 51 plate Kangoo van yesterday. When buying, the chap mentioned that the fuel gauge is faulty. Essentially he said that the lowest the gauge will ever read is a quarter full, then after a while the light will come on and at that point he would refuel..

He seemed to think that the float on the sender unit may be stuck. Before I start taking the lining up to see, is there an easier check I could do?

Thanks

Tenants Problems

Excerpts from letters to the council from tenants reporting problems:-

My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it.

He's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it anymore.

It's the dogs mess that I find hard to swallow.

I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage.

And their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.

I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off.

My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?

I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.

Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant.

I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.

50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and 50% are plain filthy.

I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.

The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.

Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink.

Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.

I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6am his **** wakes me up and its now getting too much for me.

The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.

Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third so please send someone round to do something about it.

I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man on top of me every night.

Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife.

I have had the clerk of works down on the floor six times but I still have no satisfaction.

This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broke and we can't get BBC2.

Indicators flashing fast

Hi

I bought a Renault Modus a few weeks ago and I have noticed when I am driving at night or have my heaters on, my indicators intermittently blink really fast and then rectify themselves and then the next time I use them blink really fast and then rectify themselves.

It sometimes happens in the day but will literally be around 2 seconds and then back to normal. It happens more when I have my lights on and its on both sides - probably for around 5 seconds max.

If I put my hazards on they all appear to be working although my back ones aren't as bright as the front and sides (they are actually quite dull in comparison but still working). Is this the bulbs going or is it something to do with the electrics and how much would it roughly cost to fix? My car is still under a months warranty with the dealership but it only covers up to £200.

2011 megane cabriolet exterior door handle failure

Hi guys im brand new to th forum so please go easy with me!!

I have just bought a 2011 megane cabriolet 1.5 dci and the passenger side door handle has stopped working from the ouside of the car after only 10 days of having the car. There is no resistance so something has become disconnected inside. The door will open from the inside as normal

i have had the door card off and can see that the white plastic bit with a spring on that houses the cable has come off. However you cannot get your hands in or see to re attache this to the handle.

Can anyone tell me how to do this without cutting a hole in the inner door please?

I have also tried to remove the door handle from the outside and cannot see how to do this either?

So i guess i am asking how to remove the outer door handle and will i be able to re attache the cable and connector from outside the car then push it all back through?

Any and all advice would be appreciated to do it myself?

Or if anyone can do it for me that would be even better and i will pay them...

Driving at idle speed problem.

Hi
Just bought a Clio 2002 1.2 16v and it has one little niggle that is bugging me. The lane at the back of my house is just an unmade track that is paved with bricks, rubble sand etc. I used to drive up the lane in 1st or 2nd gear with the engine just running on idle, as a modern engine will adjust the engine speed as load increases to a certain amount. I've never had a problem with the last 10 or so cars I've owned but this Clio will throw up an electical incident error and the power and revs will drop and the light will come on the dash. The engine won't stall but the engine will rise and fall in RPM then settle to normal but the light won't go out until I rev the engine to about 2500 RPM.
Other than that, the car drives without fault, any ideas?
Bob

Megane I 2002 - Rough cold starts

Hi everyone,

I have a 1.6 16V Megane I. A few months ago I started noticing that the car didn't start smoothly from cold starts. First of all the start is a bit loud, resembling a diesel, then it runs a bit rough for the first few seconds and then smooths out.
On warm starts it usually fires right up, a lot smoother and seemingly to higher initial revs too. But on some occasions when I turn the key, the engine doesn't turn over right away, as if it's stuck. Holding the starter a little longer and it fires right up.
It had a timing belt + tensioners + water pump swapped this February. I didn't change the the dephaser, but as far as I can remember it did start fine for a few months after the job was done.
I read about the dephaser being an issue, but another possible problem would be a stuck\bad dephaser solenoid.

I took it to the place that changed the belt, which I trust. They said that the dephaser needs to be changed. They said it's not worth doing on a car that's not really worth much and that this issue is just starting to develop. I was wondering if there is something I can do to fix this - such as check the dephaser solenoid or something else.
Would engine oil have any effect on this? I don't know what oil was used before, but I changed it to Liqui Moly 10W40 MOS2 in February and to the regular Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 10W-40 in June as I hoped it might make some sort of difference, which it hadn't. The engine is quite a high mileage one, it has clocked over 184k miles.

I would appreciate any input from you guys.

I'm trying to get AUX signal into my car's sound system but I have a hard time with the Tuner List.
Also if there are, do I need separate cable adapters?

Grand Scenic going to Renault Heaven

Good evening everyone. I would welcome some advice on the following. We have a 2005 Renault Grand Scenic which over the past few months has developed a mysterious electrical drain. It will drain the battery stone cold dead in a few hours. It has killed 2 batteries already!! Alternator is fine, it's been checked. Despite exhaustive work on it the drain cannot be isolated. So, we have decided it has to go as we cannot keep jump starting it. Within the last 6 months it has had the new dash. Is there any worth to trying to sell car on eBay or similar if the new dash could be removed from it?? Or just let her go to the scrappie??
We have bought another Renault.

Renault Grand Scenic auto gearbox rpm

Recently purchased a 2007 Grand Scenic 2.0 VVT Dynamique automatic.

The car seems to be very high revving and possibly due to this is only averaging 29 mpg. I was informed that the auto gearbox is only 4 speed - at 60mph you are sitting at 3000 rpm and 70mph at 3500 rpm - anything faster than 70mph and the engine screams. You feel that it should have an extra gear but slipping it into the manual option doesn't help. - 4 is the highest. Is this normal?

Shortly after getting the car a fault was detected with the gearbox causing a jolt and it dropping 2 gears. Solonoid replaced with no reoccurrence.

starting oddity

not really a problem but just got my other half a '07 1.6 megane.

It came with only one card so got another one from renault man, £50 later and it's programmed and working.

The original card gaves the "press brake to start" message but the car will start even if you don't press the brake.

The new card gives the same message but won't start unless you do press the brake.

Any ideas?

Is this a feature or a fault?

Twingo heater

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me where the blower resistor is for a 2009 Twingo. My mums heaters have stopped working and it looks like I need to rip the dashboard apart to get to it. I just want to make sure that I really have to do that to get to it?

Thanks

Greetings from West Sussex

Hi
Just bought a 2002 1.2 clio.
I have owned loads of old second hand cars and have many happy memories from the Renaults, the 12 is my all time favorite car. Never owned a Clio so when one came up with recent new cambelt, clutch, brakes, tyres and mot and my Astra was giving me serious misfire grief, I thought why not.
So far so good and this is the first car ive had with a trip computer, I'm having loads of sad fun seeing how high I can get the mpg, not sure how accurate it is but if amuses me. It has one little niggle but I will post in the appropriate section for a posible solution

Clio MkII fuel gauge

I have seen many threads about this, but I couldn't find an answer to a pretty simple question.

What I want to know is, how much litres of fuel are represented by one line on the fuel gauge. The fuel tank capacity is 50Ltr and once it is on reserve it shows no lines on. Logically, this would mean that one line is 5Ltr, since there are 9 lines + reserve, but I do not think that is the case.

Here's a pic just because. :d

ive read that on "some" Clio's that on the wiper stalk there is a push button that will show trip, and MPG info as well as how many miles left to refuel? now on my Clio this doesn't show the only thing i have on my dash is trip total?is there a "retro" fit kit that will enable those functions? or is it a no hope?

Fuses / Installing a Dashcam

Hi,

I need to know which fuses are OFF after the keycard is removed so I can install a 12v dashcam that turns off when there is no ignition so it doesn't drain my battery.

I tried the wiper fuse but it stayed on despite the key being removed, even though the wipers didn't function...

Thanks in advance,

ECU pin number for turbo solenoid valve

Hi everyone, after having used the search function successfully for the past two years to find answers I've had to bite the bullet and actually post a question.

I've discovered no 12v voltage to the plug to the turbo vacuum solenoid on my 2001 mk1 Megane 1.9 dci and hence no vacuum to the turbo actuator, hence the bypass flapper valve doesn't close and hence no boost. Vacuum does flow from the vacuum pump to the solenoid but that's where it ends as the valve is not being powered.

I'm going to check the wires for obvious breaks and continuity but it would be nice to know where the other end of the two wires are connected on on the ECU.

Thanks in advance.

Fitting an in-dash CD changer - 2003 Laguna 2 1.9 dCi

Hiya, I've just bought a 2003 Laguna 2 1.9 dCi and I'm wondering if this in-dash changer will slot straight in above the standard CD player.

http://ift.tt/1LgtEeT

If it does, do I need to get a cable or will there already be a connector fitted to the loom from the factory? Also, is it controllable from the steering wheel controls?

I've searched the forums and I couldn't find the answer, so I'm asking here.

Thanks!

Twingo 2015 model engine won't start

Hi guys,

I got into work this morning and parked up as usual, but when I got out and locked the car I noticed the clock wasn't turning off and my orange spanner light and red stop light were also still lit up (usually when I lock the car all lights etc turn off).

I got back in and tried to start it but got no response from the engine - the dashboard lights all came on, as did the lights above the drivers head to show who is wearing seatbelts etc and I could turn my headlights on and off but got no response from the engine.

Occasionally it has done this when I have accidentally left it in gear but I checked and it was still in neutral. The reverse camera still came on when I put it into reverse as well so that is working, but I have nothing going to the engine at all. Anyone ever had this problem?

Presentacion

In honour of Wobble

Laugh and the world laughs with you; fart and they'll stop laughing.
What's invisible and smells like carrots? Bunny farts.
How can you tell if a woman is wearing pantyhose? If she farts, her ankles swell. Confucius say, "Man who fart in church sit in own pew."
"Darling," says a husband coyly to his wife, "let's swap positions tonight." "What a good idea," she replies. "You stand in front of the sink and do the dishes and I'll sit in front of the TV and fart."

A midwife is walking past the hospital staffroom, when she hears two African doctors talking, "I'm telling you it's wumba: W-U-M-B-A," says the first.
"No. It's woombaa: W-O-O-M-B-A-A," says the second.
"No, no, no. Wumba: W-U-M-B-A," says the first again.
At this the nurse pops her head through the door, "I think you'll find, gentlemen, it's WOMB: W-O-M-B,"
The two doctors look blankly at her, until one of them says, "Madam. I doubt if you've ever even SEEN a water buffalo, let alone heard one fart in a mudpool,".

Is there any more nerve-racking moment for a man than attempting the first fart after having diarrhoea?

A human fart can be louder than a trombone.
I discovered that at my daughter's school concert.
I didn't fart in front of my wife until we were married.
I don't think the vicar was impressed.

After being woken by a loud fart my wife said, "Oh, for Christ's sake! It's me or that bloody dog, time to decide!"
I replied, "It was probably you, the dog's generally don't smell as bad as that."

I keep farting Mike Oldfield tracks,
I've been diagnosed with tubular bowels.

you know its a good fart when the dog wakesup, gives u a disgusted look and leaves the room

What's black and has four legs?

First Date

Can you imagine !!!



First Date
If you didn't see this on the Tonight show, I hope you're sitting down when you read it.



This is probably the funniest date story ever, first date or not!!! We have all had bad dates... but this takes the cake. This just tells you how tough it is to be single nowadays. This was on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno. Jay went into the audience to find themost embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize!



She said it was midwinter... snowing and quite cold... and the guy had take her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City , Utah . It was a day trip (no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and truly had never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the mountain,when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte. They were about an hour away from anywhere with a rest room and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while. Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her pee beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car. They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself. Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the relieef she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation. Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to pump handles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem due to the extreme cold. Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she answered her date's concerns about "what is taking so long" with a reply that indeed, she was "freezing her butt off and in need of some assistance!" He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing.She too, got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem. Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free. So,as she looked the other way, her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender. As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands down... or perhaps that should be "pants down."..And you thought your first date was embarrassing. Jay Leno's comment .. "This gives a whole new meaning to being '****ed off'."

Laguna II Door Window Trim

I've been searching all day with no joy.

There's a piece of metal trim on the doors of my Laguna II Phase 2, where the B Pillar is. The two rear doors have a plastic retainer on the top of the trim, which keeps it in place.

The front doors have no plastic retainers, and the metal trim is coming away from the doors at the top. I found a video on youtube, which gave a close up of a Laguna II in mint condition, and it had retainers on all four doors.

Does anyone know the correct terminology for these plastic clips/clamps/retainers, or a part number, 'cos I kind find anything anywhere:mad:

Renault Clio Medianav - problem connecting ipod

Hi - I'm new to the forum but would really appreciate some help. I bought a new Clio Medianav in July 2015. Initially I could connect my ipod to the media system using a USB cable but the last couple of times its not reading the device. It seems to want to favour my iPhone via its Bluetooth connection.

Has anyone else had a similar problem and found a way to work around it?

Importing my Clio 2, or how to get my speedo in MPH?

Hi,

Recently brought our Clio 2 16v (1999) from the continent, and would like to get it registered in the UK.
To get registered, we need the MOT; and to get MOT, we need a speedo in MPH instead of the current one in KMH.


We are told we could either
- change the whole cluster for several hundred £
- or have some stickers (we haven't yet found one to fit the display) and then wonder about the calibration after removing the needles...:confused:

Any tip?
Thanks,

Tony

Hello, thinking of getting Renault motorhome

Hi, I've just joined this forum. I have a Renault Clio, but the real reason I've joined is that I'm thinking of getting a campervan based on a Renault Trafic, and I'm wondering if anyone has experience of these. The conversion is called an Ellastone, from a company in Derby called Hilllside.

The two best vehicles I've ever had have been Renaults - an Espace and my present Clio - so the idea of getting a Renault as my campervan is quite appealing.

2003 1.4 Renault Megane having increasing difficulties starting!

Hi Guys

We have a 2003 Renault Megane which over the past 6 months has had increasing difficulties with starting. We're getting a new Captur at the beginning of November (after months of delays!) so we've been trying to limp through with it rather than pay for expensive repairs but it's getting ridiculous (and extremely embarrassing!).

Have to admit we don't have much of a clue about things although we have done some basic repairs ourselves, can anyone offer any advice on what the problem could be and if there are any simple (cheap) things we can do that might rectify it?

It's had a new battery and spark plugs within the last year. The only thing that seems to make a difference to how well it starts is if the car is level or parked facing uphill - if it's facing downhill it seems to have more trouble. Occasionally it starts first time but more often than not it now takes 2,3,4,5 attempts at getting the engine to start.

I was wondering about the fuel filter and if I can do that myself? Can get one for £4 so figure it could be worth a go!

Really appreciate any help and advice - feeling desperate!

Electric Parking Brake failed - now won't start

Hi

I had to call the AA out last week because my parking brake wouldn't release. They ended up manually releasing it and I arranged for a mechanic to have a look.
The next day it wouldn't start (flat battery) I jump started it and took it to the garage - they said it needs a new handbrake motor (several billion pounds, apparently). I figured I would get a second hand motor on ebay. Anyway, drove it home and then two days later, same thing - flat battery, won't start at all.
Is this linked? i.e. the electric handbrake and the battery being drained? Or just a coincidence?

Thanks

Inner track rod end play

Hi All
I have a scenic 1.9 dci year 2000
I have had what sounded like a wheel bearing noise coming from drivers side wheel area but after having new bearing replaced the noise is still there.
Sounds like a deep humming noise which is worse when turning left and right?
I also noticed that there is quite a lot of play in the inner tie rod end, would this produce the same noise or maybe its something else?
There is no play and there are no noises coming from any of the other wheels.
Maybe someone has had this problem before and can help? :):)
Thanks
Simon

Renault Trafic Sport air and heater cluster

Hi all,
I have a 62 reg Renault Trafic sport and a few questions regarding the little cluster of dials that select hot or cold air, air speed etc.

1) Are these supposed to light up at night as every other button on the van seems to but these don't and it is impossible to select anything as you can't see?

2) On the air speed dial 1,2 and 4 work fine but speed 3 does nothing when selected?

3) Is this a whole unit that can be replaced easily enough?

Laguna 3 HU Removal Help

Hey,

I have searched and searched but and have found answers but I'm struggling to get this to work. ??

I'm trying to remove my Headunit to get access to fit an aux cable on my 2008 laguna. I don't have the keys to remove the HU but I read that people have used stiff cable ties and cut the ends to 45 degrees. I have done this and the head unit has moved our about 5mm all around but won't budge any further ??

I have had screwdrivers in the sides etc and all I'm getting is cracking noises.

What do the clips that hold the HU in look like? Any help on this would be great as I'm ready to scream!!!

Where to find the TDC sensor 2007 Megane II 2ltr auto

Hey everyone, I am having a really hard time finding the TDC sensor in my car. It is a lemon I bought from a person who scammed me (it's been under water).

It has been repaired but I am having an issue with starting the car.

First it sometimes drops to 2nd gear and says "check gear box"

Secondly It was not starting properly for a few weeks when it was HOT, or after an hours drive.

I had a diagnostic done on the car and it said there was something wrong with the Cam Angle sensor.

Now it won't start at all. Every video, image, thread has said the TDC sensor was just on the top side of the bell housing, next to the last coil pack. Here is an image of where everyone says it SHOULD be.

An Army helicopter pilot walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman.




He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his new Apple watch for a moment.
The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"
"No,” he replies, “I just got this state-of-the-art Apple watch, and I was just testing it.”
The intrigued woman says, “A state-of-the-art watch? What’s so special about it?”
The pilot says, “It uses alpha waves to communicate with me telepathically.”
The lady says, “What’s it telling you now?”
"Well, it says you’re not wearing any panties.”
The woman giggles and replies, “Well it must be broken because I am wearing panties!”
The fighter pilot smiles, taps his watch and says, “Damn thing’s an hour fast."

Engine struggling on when cruising - help!

Hi, we have a 55 plate 1.5dci grand scenic and all of a sudden are having issues with the engine in all gears above 4 when cruising along. I can accelerate and decelerate with the gears and all is fine but if I hit say 70mph and release the throttle to coast along I get a jumping from the engine as if the brake is being feathered and plumes of black smoke from the exhaust.
I have had a diagnostic test and that threw up a faulty glow plug so all have been replaced, cleaned the egr and ran a couple of additives through the system but the problem is still there.
Air filter is clean, I don't use cheap fuel so am a little bit lost but the engine now makes an whooshing noise when the revs go above 3000rpm which wasn't evident beforehand.
Any advice would be appreciated as I love the car but was pulled over by a kindly policeman the other and accused of using red diesel and being a possible boy racer (40 years old in a people carrier?!?!!).
Thanks

Crank Sensor Replacement (Merc A140 W168)

I need to replace the crank sensor on our old Mercedes A140 (W168).

I managed to get the old sensor out (just about) but destroyed it in the process as it was a VERY, VERY tight fit. Now I can't get the new one in as again, it's a VERY, VERY tight fit.

I don't know much about these sensors as such, so I guess I'm asking if I can safely use any sort of lubrication to aid fitting? There's not much space (even though the sensor is on the front face near the gearbox, access is awkward)

Rear seats on Mk II Renault Grand Scenic

Hello,

I have a Renault Grand Scenic (04-09) with only 5 seats installed and want to fit the 2 rear seats that are standard.

I've been ringing breakers to get quotes for the part but was warned off by one who said he's tried to do it before and it turned out to be a nightmare as he said the cutout in the floor of the chassis is different just behind the central seats (3, 4 & 5) between the 5 door and 7 door grand scenics.

Just for some additional information, in looking to install the complete frame that holds both rear seats, runners and sockets for 3 point seat-belts. I was under the impression initially that this should be fairly easily installed (bolts and screws)

Does anyone have any experience in doing this? Or know if there are fundamental issues with the modification due to differences between the 5 & 7 seat options.

Thanks,

Mike

Starting problem.

Hi all, I don't know if anyone else has had this fault, any advice would be appreciated,
I have a 56 plate megane ll. 1.6 16v sports tourer, 63,000 miles, it was OK until yesterday, then when I went to start it , i put the card in as usual, pressed the brake down & pressed the start button, i heard a click from under the bonnet, a bleep in the car, and a message saying "braking fault", that ABS light & stop light were on, and the car won't start, I called my local Renault dealer & explained the fault, that said to bring it in they would do a diagnostic on it, when I again said it wouldn't start, they said they couldn't help, I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem, ( with the car not with Renault)
Thanks in advance.

Clio dci 65 egr valve and manifold cleaning . Oily residue.

Good Morning All.
Having a problem with my Clio dci . I have only owned this car a short time but it has turned out to be a bit of a dog - already replaced an injector seal - what a job.
I have been experiencing intermittent power loss, almost like the turbo is not kicking in. I have driven the car with egr electrics on / off same problem and maf sensor on/off didn't play up. The next day with egr and maf connected back to same problem, car struggling to accelerate and fifth gear a no go . Car will die between gear changes and you really have to drive hard to get anywhere. Almost feels like your driving with hand brake on. There is no smoke at exhaust that I can see. It is intermittent and driving me insane. Last night I started to remove the egr and manifold to clean. Egr solenoid was choked up but dry. Manifold is carbonised but oily at each ends. I have been unable to remove the egr yet, been soaking in wd40 overnight. From what I can inside there is a build up of soot/carbon but doesn't seem too "wet" . Is it possible this build up be stopping airflow to the turbo and causing it to not spool up intermittently ? I will post some pics later - picture speaks a thousand words and all that . Any ideas ?
Thanks, Rob Smart.

Footwell lightning won't turn off after I start the car

Hello,
Just got a Renault Laguna II 1.9 dci from 2002 and I found a few issues that I want to fix.

First, I have a problem with the interior lightning. I get into the car, start it up and go on my way, but the interior lightning is still on. Can't understand how to turn it off. The light above my head and the one in the rear are set in the middle position. I can force them off, but the footwell lights are distracting during night time drive.
What should I check?

On the same note, the motors that set the external mirrors position are working, but can't get the mirrors closed/opened. Maybe I don't know how to use the switch, but I rotate it 180 degrees facing down and try to move the joystick but nothing happens. Do the motors that open/close the mirrors have a separate fuse?

Laguna II heater blower issues + resistor pack testing

Hello,
I have a 2002 Renault Laguna II 1.9 dci and I'm having some problems with the blower fan.
The right hand side water drain got clogged and water poured inside the car, on the passenger side.
I cleaned the drain, now water goes as it should, but it seems the water that got inside had to go through the air filter then the fan.
So fan was not working on any setting. Decided to take it off and check/clean everything in that area.
Fan checks out on my bench power supply, runs smooth but it's full of crap, wet and dirt all over.
How do I remove the plastic fan from the shaft without breaking something? Any easy method involving general tools?
Also, how do I test the resistor pack?
I see one socket with two thick wires with + and - written on it, and another socket with 3 thinner wires.
I get 45Kohm on the two thick wires.
How's the logic between the wires?

Hello! New to Renault Form

Hi,

new to Renault Forum. Just got my daughter a 2007 Grand Scenic and feel sure I shall need some advice in the future. I own a Peugeot 508 SW but was an owner of a 1999 Megane Alize 1.6 for 7 years, the longest I have ever kept a car. Did 150k in the car never missed a beat. Loved it!

scenic mk II j84 blowing air inside unevenly

I am finding that the air coming from the left 2 vents in my car work properly. As in when the air conditioner is on they get cold. When the heater is on they get warm. they also get strong when I increase the heater fan speed. I am finding that the right 2 do not.
The right 2 do not get cold or hot and the air only comes out at a slow speed. It seems they just take the outside air and send it inside. I have replaced the resistor, which lives on the drivers side (Right hand drive), as I thought that this would be a problem. However it did not fix it.
Would anybody know why this would be?

Hi All,

New to the forum. I have a Megane and my mum has a Twingo.

What gives with the electrical components in these cars? They keep failing!

Hopefully by joining this forum I'll save some time and some money for both me and my mum.

I like my old 1.5DCI especially when it can return 75MPG but whatever I save on fuel goes into replacing window regulators and blower resistors :(

Cheers

Twingo Blower

Hi All,

I have a Renault Megane which I recently had to replace the blower resistor to get some air flowing again.

My mums car which is a 2009 Twingo seems to have the same problem but I cannot for the life of me find where the blower resistor is located.

I've seen some cars have it tucked away in the engine bay or it's accessible by removing the glove box.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please, I really don't want to start tearing her car to bits needlessly.

Cheers

Check injection!!

Ano this is probably the 100th post regarding same issue, though after a lot of work I seemed to of finally got somewhere. Car was hard starting in the mornings was told it could be injectors or fuel filter. So to cut a long story short I replaced the fuel filter, problem still occurred... Took it to a mechanic which said 1,2 where faulty so went to breakers got 2nd hand ones and paid mechanic to get them
Fitted and coded which ended up making the car worse... Done another leak off test and found injector 3 was leaking really bad so again went to breakers and bought another but this time fitted myself and wrote the code down though now it says check injection constantly on the dash, in the mornings its starts after the 2nd go and runs fine all day. seems to be anytime I get one step further another problem occurs! Any help would be grately appreciated!

Grand scenic no memory radio trip and clock

I changed the radio in my 2005 grand scenic and since then every time I go out in the car the radio has reset so has the trip computer and clock resets to 0.00 and flashes. I have checked fuse in glove box and it's fine also checked fuses under bonnet and all looked fine although I haven't a clue what I was looking at. Someone told me there's a common fault with Renault dashboards and they need the clocks resetting? I can't help but think it's not this problem as everything else works perfectly is there any other fuses I've missed out?

Fuel gauge misreading :(

Though it was just a one off but done dash test many times and no change only just today refuled £40 that's 18ltr as I'm traveling tomorrow to Manchester it showed only half full did a dash test and it went back up to full. I reckon it is the fuel ball inside the tank that is misreading. Is there any chance I can replace this by my self. I'd hate to think what Renault would charge. Can someone tell me how to do this. I have typed in the search box and only got people and asking and no replays could admin remove those please there no help lol. Thanks in advance.

What should the fuel rail pressure be at idle?

How can I tell which modle engine is in my car?

Hi everyone,

I've got a sept. 2003 mk II 1.9 DCI Laguna Expression and I'm not sure which model engine I've got.

I've narrowed it down to 2 which are:

F9Q-T752 74 kW 2001-05 (I suspect this one)
F9Q-T750 88 kW 2001-07

I'm looking for an engine and gearbox replacement at the moment so I looking to find out if I managed to find either of the above, would they both fit or do I have to find the right one?

I would like a bit more power if poss. but I guess I need to be careful with gearbox - I have a 5 speed manual.

I'm looking to replace the engine becasue I need a new clutch, flywheel, cambelt and water pump so for the money it would cost to get that done I could probably but a second hand engine in?
What do you think?

Thanks very much

Mileage for my car showing on Renault.co.uk?

So I signed up to the Renault website and registered my car using the VIN number.

Accepted the information and showed the 'My Vehicle' section.

I found the section where i could enter the current mileage. The problem is, when i tried to enter the mileage as 46000 miles, it said i couldn't enter it as at it's last service it was 56864 miles?

I know the previous (2nd) owner who had it for 2 years, who didn't have it serviced at all and bought it from the dealer at 35000 miles. (The dealer told him it was bought from new from them and was always serviced by them)

If it was serviced by the Renault dealer, do they communicate the mileage to Renault.co.uk or where does this mileage come from and why wouldn't it have a stamp in the service book for 56864? Something doesn't add up?

Start-up smoke on a 2010 1.5dci megane coupe

Hi all, i ain't had the car long, but every time i start the engine after it's cold, i get quite a big plume of whitey/blue smoke out the exhaust, it smells a bit too?

It was apparently fully serviced before i got it? private sale, so can't be 100% sure. No warning lights on dash, etc... & after a couple of minutes it's gone..

I have given it a bit of blast down the motorway, to clean things out too (you understand), but a week later & i still have the smoke!

Any ideas on my course of elimination, thanks

Clio MK3 OBD port

Hey everyone,

so I bought a 2008 clio 1.2 tce and it does the job of getting me to and from work nicely. I got a direct line insurance policy which requires me to have a telematics plug-in installed into my OBD port which monitors how I drive.

Unfortunately, no power seems to be going to the port. Everything on the car works fine (including the cigarette port) except that. At first I thought it could be a fuse, and opening the fuse box there are just so many. Which one controls the OBD port?

Also, how much would it cost to get the port replaced? My insurance is likely to spike £300 if I don't get this sorted

Thanks

Charlie

2004 master dci cutting out P0191

Hi folks I'm hoping someone on here can share some knowledge :-)

My recently acquired 2004 master 2.5 dci is cutting out with the fault codes P0191 fuel pressure sensor signal improbable.

It sometimes drives for 30 miles with no fault, then other times it lasts 3 miles and stumbles and dies, but always swiftly restarts.

There's no visual leaks around the injectors and I have already replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor at a cost of £120 to no avail.

Putting it on live data earlier the fuel rail pressure was 50k then 60k then dropped rapidly to 17k then bounced back to 60k and shut down.

Any ideas before I lose even more of my marbles?

Thanks :-)

I need to ID parts of an xmfMC 2OO7 Scenic tdi engine

2OO5 Scenic diesel nineteen hundred cc wont start, it's says check injectors, but two garages can't find a fault. It stared using masses of diesel belching black smoke. After spending endless cash, I decided to check it out. I'm a qualified motor mechanic, but on real internal combustion engines, 6O% of this engine is simply garbage. However I need to fix this car, so I need to know what I'm looking at there are numerous electronic sensors & vacuum driven gadgets please ID the function of the various sensors. I attempted to clean the Al Gore EGR valve but it's impossible to remove for cleaning as a previous person tried & broken two flanges holding it in so.
It's been blanked off & the solenoid was disconnected. Up to now it has been running well except for it stalls momentarily then continues running normally. It then started noy responding to the key card starting button.
the dash board light up, please insert key, press clutch or Brake click but no starter turnover. It now says change oil soon, STOP in red with Brakes, battery un:confused under it, No sign of life. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm in London EastSouth Africa

Test drove a nice 1.9dci scenic but..............

Hello, I test drove a 90k yr2000 1.9dci scenic yesterday. It felt very torquey and relaxed compared to my 1.4 petrol!

It was in very good condition but I had one or two reservations.

1. There was a slightly rough sounding bearing noise at tickover that disappeared completely when the clutch was pressed, crank thrust bearing/gear box input bearing or they all do that sir?

2. Steering wheel wobble which I'm sure is ropey front tyres.

3. Timing belt was last changed 4 1/2 yrs ( 50k ) Ago so I'm thinking that is about due?

4. Clutch bit very quickly but did not judder or slip.

It's a shame as it drove really well, I have never owned a diesel so any advice would be great. My gut feeling is it may need a few quid spending on it which I don't mind doing to end up with a good car at the end of it as long as I can get the car very cheap.....but sellers rarely understand this!

Any advice on any of these points would be great.

Oil for my "58" Megane 1.9 Dynamique dci

Good Evening, Since I have had the car the Dealer have always used a RN0710 5W 40 for the Oil change. (No DPF)

Today a new servicing agent have used a RN0720 5W 30 ..........He said something about revised Spec's and that this is a better spec than I require ? However I haven't seen anything that confirms either way.

Is there any Pro's and Con's of using a RN0720 5W 30 (GM Oil infact) in my engine with no DPF ?

Thanks

2003 Scenic 1.6 starting issues (sometimes)

Hi

everyone, before I get into this I would like to point out that I have done a lot of research into this issue and I'm pretty sure its not the TDC sensor.

A few weeks ago I went out to my car one morning to go to work and the car would start, was turning over fine, was even getting fuel as the car was 'lumpy' if you know what I mean. just would fire.

set about looking at electrical things, removed the airbox and there is a sensor poking out the side of the block, I unplugged it and plugged it back in, started no problems at all and had been fine for about a month.

then the same thing happened again the other day, this time just reconnecting the sensor didn't work, I had to jiggle it around abit to. But it still started in the end.

Basically what I want to know is, what sensor is it? crank or cam? and is there anything else I should check for?

thanks

Fitting electric roof

I have a 1998 Megane convertible with a manual roof and want to convert to electric. I have a spares car which has a new roof on. I have removed the roof, pump, wiring etc taken lots of pictures so I know what wire goes where. The wiring has been removed but instead of just removing what was needed I have removed all of the wiring loom from inside the car including rear lights, wiring to the doors, switches, ignition the lot. Will I need it all or just certain parts? Don't know if was a common main loom and I could just clip in what I need.

Renault Scenic Megane 02: Aircon repair cost?

Hi, my Renault Scenic Megane 02 plate started making gurgling sounds on the passenger side, followed by liquid running into the passenger foot well. This was on a hot day with the air con set to a cool 17 degrees)

If/as the aircon has failed (which the AA guy said is the problem) what sort of costs could I expect (I know, "piece of string")? He started by saying that the dash has to be removed which already sounded pricey!!

Stupid question #645: With the air con turned off, is there still a basic heating system available eg to clear the windscreen? I have only driven the car with air con on auto and for cooling and heating 16-25 degree range.

TIA

2007 Clio III 1.4 16V Dynamique S hesitating/holding back/misfiring problem

I've had this problem for well over a year now. 2007 1.4 petrol 16v with 60k on clock.

Short version, it usually seems to be when the car is cold (first 10 mins), the car "holds back" at cruising speed. The problem disappears as soon as full throttle is applied and comes back when you return to cruising speed. Happens in all gears and also with or without load on the engine. Occasionally there are pops/clonks heard from the engine when this is happening.

After 10 mins of driving the problem usually disappears entirely. Occasionally it will come back for 5 mins during driving (noticed on motorways) and then disappears again.

Occasionally the engine warning light will flash whilst the problem is there, but as soon as the light comes on, the problem seems to stop immediately (although the light continues to flash).

It's been to a Renault main dealer, a highly recommended local garage that specialises in diagnostics (he recons he's got better kit than the main dealers) and a local independent Renault, none of which have been able to find/fix the problem.

All report that their equipment return a very none specific misfire fault.

Parts replaced up to now include:
Spark plugs - multiple times
Ignition coils - multiple times (everyone automatically says "it'll be the coils" which drives me up the wall!)
MAP sensor - this seemed to fix the problem for a few months but I'm told this may be a different problem
The timing belt was replaced a while ago and has since been "checked" to see if this is the problem, I've been assured it's not.
Throttle body - by me a few days ago with a cheap used one off ebay, made no difference.

It had a new fuel lift pump about 2 years ago, so I don't suspect it's that at this point, also the car runs perfectly once the initial 10 minutes passes.

I've spent a lot of money now trying to sort this and it's starting to get very annoying now.

My next thoughts are fuel injectors or lambda sensor.

I've bought a cheap OBD reader that connects to my iPad which I have yet to experiment with.

I've trawled multiple forums about this over the past 18 months but can't seem to find a conclusion to the problem. I've seen similar issues but no posted solutions.

Any help, suggestions, experiences much appreciated before I smash the car to pieces with a sledge hammer.:mad:

Espace 2.2 DCI Tapping

My 2004 Espace has developed a tapping noise from the what sounds like under the rocker cover on the battery side.
I have unplugged the injectors individually with the engine running to try and eliminate a faulty injector and as you would expect the engine runs lumpy but the tapping noise continues.
I was wondering if the valves are adjustable and if so whether it might be worth trying to set the valve gaps to see if there is too much play in them.
Any advise would be welcomed as I do not know what to try next and don't want to cause any damage to the engine.

What might my car be worth?

Hi Folks,

Question for the experts please .. could someone give me a ball-park figure as to what I might be able to get for my car?

Here's the details:

Maroon Coloured Laguna Expression mkII
Registered Sept. 2003
1.9 DCI Engine
97'000 on the clock
Average consumption: 46 mpg

Very Good Condition - has some stone chip paintwork repairs and minor scuffs
Air-Con not working - Needs re-gassing

Full Service History
MOT until September 2016

New Front Disc's, Pads & Pirelli tyres fitted 2 weeks ago

Needs the following work: (which I can't afford)
Cambelt
Front Drivers Shock Absorber
Clutch & Flywheel

The quotes I've had for the work are around £1000 which sadly I can't afford so I'm thinking of selling the car and leasing new. The long-term projections look more favourable when you take depreciation into consideration if you look to buy from new and finance.

Good fitting seat covers 2001 Clio

Hi. I've just bought a standard 1.2 Clio (2001) for my daughter. It looks like it'll make a good first car but we're trying to getting it looking as good as possible before giving it to her for her birthday next week.

One thing we're struggling with is finding some good fitting seat covers. Just looking for something smart that won't need constant fiddling with to re-fit. Does anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.
