Renault Megane Scenic

To set the timing on a Renault Scenic 1.6 8V, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys. Secure the timing belt or chain in place, ensuring proper tension, and double-check the alignment of the marks before reassembling the components. Finally, rotate the engine manually a few times to confirm there are no obstructions and the timing remains correct.

The 2005 Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi typically uses a Lead-Acid battery, specifically a 12V type with a capacity around 60 to 70 Ah. It's essential to check the vehicle's manual or the battery itself for the exact specifications, as there can be variations based on the specific model and equipment. Always ensure that any replacement battery meets the manufacturer's requirements for optimal performance.

To change the bulb in the center display of a Renault Scenic, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and the key is removed. Carefully remove the trim or panel surrounding the display using a flat tool to avoid damage. Once exposed, locate the bulb holder and twist it counterclockwise to remove it, then replace the old bulb with a new one. Reassemble the trim and ensure everything is secured before turning the vehicle back on.

The horn relay on a Renault Scenic is typically located in the fuse box, which can be found under the dashboard on the driver's side or in the engine compartment, depending on the model year. To access it, you may need to remove a cover. Consult the vehicle's owner manual for the exact location and identification of the horn relay, as it may vary between different models and years.

To replace the ABS sensor on a Renault Scenic, first, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off. Lift the car and remove the wheel to access the sensor. Disconnect the electrical connector, unbolt the sensor from its mounting, and replace it with the new one. Finally, reconnect the electrical connector, reassemble everything, and test the ABS system to ensure proper functionality.

Hi. I know this does not help but... I am having the same problem. Have you managed to diagnose it yet??. Any information much appreciated. Thanks.

i had problems starting my megane it was like the battery was goin dead. it wouldn't start or would take a long time to get goin so i called AA.first AA man changed battery but still the same week later next AA man unbolted a thing called TDC (top dead center) and cleaned it no problems since

This should be done every 36000mil or 60000 km to be sure, they are rated to last as long as 100km but you needs to take driving habits into consideration.

If you mean the drainage hose for the sunroof then it's quite easy.

They are normally clogged with silt I have a megane scenic the hose comes out behind the splash guards for the front wheels. The guard is secured with 3 screws to the rear you don't need to completely remove it just pull it far enough back to work.

If you're not sure where your pipes come out pour a little water carefully into the drainage channel on the side that isn't blocked then look under the car to see where it comes out/drips down and trace it back until you find the end of your drainage tube.

So to clear it out you need something flexible and strong enough to push the silt out but thin enough to fit down the tube without damaging it!

I used an old wire securing spring from an Ironing board cover. You could use a length of net curtain "rod" (the old fashioned type- flexible spring covered in plastic) or you could try a drain clearing rod from your local pound store/diy store. Whatever you use it needs to be long enough to go through the full lenght of the tube(obviously) about 2meters should do it.

So carefully feed the spring down the pipe through the top of the open sunroof, don't scratch the paint.

If it gets stuck pull back gently then try to continue. If it doesn't want to go try turning the spring as you feed it in or pouring a little hot water down the pipe.

When you think you are all the way through look under the car and check it's all the way through and either pull your spring all the way through or back out the top.

Lastly pour a little hot water down to flush it out.

hope that helps.

A clanking noise in the rear of a Renault Scenic could mean the rear wheel bearings need to be replaced or greased. A clanking noise in the rear of any vehicle can be a problem with the rear end gears, the drive shaft, or even a lug nut that came loose and is clanking around inside the hubcap.

Probably means that one of your cylinders is misfiring. I have had this twice and the problem was one of the ignition coils which is a very common problem with both the Scenic and the Megane.

I had this, I read it is caused by an empty windscreen washer bottle so filled it but no luck. I then read somewhere that a window may be slightly open and its actually the alarm warning making the beeps so open/closed all windows and still it was happening. i then read that the child lock button may have got 'stuck' or more to the point failed in some way, so clicked it once or twice and realised the red light on the switch showing lock as 'on' hadnt come on, so pushed it a bit harder when doing it again and Voila! Problem solved!

As it happens, the problem WAS something to do with the child locks! It 'sort of' righted itself, when I did similar stuff to your suggestions, but it was so long ago now, and even at the time I didn't know what I did - just that it was something to do with the child locks etc. I shall make sure I try the lock switch first if there is a next time.

Many thanks. what a shame the manual couldn't be more informative - there is no section on alarm noises or cross references.

take it to a proper garage

Sounds like the coil plugs are faulty
