What Is This Dashboard Symbol ?

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

Immobilization and central locking problem

Hello everyone, new and have searched before posting
Have a 98 Megane (very tidy) but keep having a problem with Immobiliser, car locks unlocks OK but sometimes it seems to be out of synchronization as turning the key (within 30 seconds) results in nothing at all, yesterday missed a wedding as it just would not reset, eventually left it overnight and this morning starts fine.... Losing confidence and appreciate any suggestions to remedy the fault
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Laguna II belt tensioner

I'm trying this post again.

How do I correctly remove and install the belt tensioner in my Laguna II?

And how do I know how much tension to apply when installing new one, or is this somehow automatic?

Is this an OK begginers job? I've replaced window mechanisms, And added towbar + electrics previously.

Thanks

Thread Of The Week 44, November, 2015

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:

2009 Laguna Coupe 2.0T GT (Best OBD Kit)

Hi all.

I have been looking into getting a WiFi or Bluetooth OBD reader for my 2009 Laguna Coupe GT (2.0 Litre Turbo Petrol) :cool:
Can anyone suggest a good but non expensive reader that's suitable for this car?

I know the port is under the tray in the arm rest, I have access to an Android tablet, Windows 8.1 Phone, and Windows Laptop for connectivity. I would prefer the unit to be wireless.

I know there are a lot of readers on the market that are compatible with most model cars, I'm only looking because I'm curious about diagnostic readings etc, and do not have any known faults that specifically need detecting.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I have seen loads on eBay and Amazon, but am unclear which would be best suited for my car. :confused:

Thanks in advance
Roy
