Renault Megane Scenic

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

Timing belts last 60 to 100 thousand miles, and should be changed accordingly. The easiest way to make sure your timing belt is in working order is to bring it to a local mechanic.

In Megane / Megane Scénic --99: When viewed from the front of the car, it's located on the right side of the engine block, in the back wall under the plastic rain cover. It's a small (about the size of couple of matchboxes) black plastic box. There's one wire and one thin tube connected to it.

The tube is usually a source of problems, as it can easily crack. When this happens, it lights up the "Electronic Malfunction" warning light in the dashboard.

When removing the map sensor, be extra careful not to break the four small plastic clips that hold it in place, as they can be fragile. Also the tube connects to a small "pipe" under the map sensor that can break if bent.

The electric fuel lift pump relay switch, on your root no 1.9 diesel engine, can be found on the firewall of the engine compartment. The relay switch is on the drivers side of the firewall.

You need 2016 batteries (3Volt)
