Renault Megane

at the back

err yes ive just had the same problem with a 2000 1.4 16v.

Mine had a new ecu, new coils, new CAT, new plugs etc.

I took it to a local specialist who did all the normal tests.....he then suspected a dodgy injector.....all were removed and serviced.......runs like a dream now :o)

You can remove the outside trim by using a blow dryer or a heat gun to soften the adhesive underneath. Then you slowly work you way down. Then use laquer thinner or something like it to remove residue that is left. Hope this helps.

Updated: On the UK (right hand drive) version of the Megane, there is a small lever on the passenger side under the glove compartment and next to the door. This releases the bonnet.

The Bonnet will now lift up an inch (2-3cm) at the front, and will be held in place by a small retaining clip to a hook that is attached to the front middle underside of bonnet (have a peek through the gap). Lift the clip (located just under the middle front of the bonnet) to release the bonnet completely, then raise bonnet and secure in raised position with small supporting strut on right.

Left Hand Drive Version: Lever by the right hand side of the driver seat.

or look underneath the dash lower left hand side near the clutch... if you put your head in and look up, there is a lever parallel to the floor and you must pull down on it to unlatch the hood. It might be difficult to see since it is the same color as everything else down there.

remove the bottom cover on the centre consol , in front of the cigarette lighter

It's in the passenger footwell top left hand side below the glove box

Worn valve, bent valve, damaged piston and/or rings, head gasket failure.

You are not being very specific here, but it being deisel, the first thing I would check is the glow plugs, try replacing them, fairly easy job not expensive.

I had same problem for nearly a year then looked on internet and the TDC sensor came up on lots of forums. There is a diagram also on parkerforums where this sensor is. All you need to do is clean it with a wire brush and car will run fine for approx 6 months. I have done this now for the last 18 months and every 6 months or so have to just clean the sensor at no cost. Hope this helps.

Hi

I am having exactly the same problem - except that I have not changed the battery recently.

This is a very common fault in Renault megane II of this age as is inherent problems with the turbo giving out.

if you google Renault megane steering fault you will find many people with the same problems - also visit www.meganeownersclub.co.uk for some more support

You need to hold down the info button on the wiper stalk with the change oil message showing on the screen. This will reset the info.

I have a 2004 Megane and this does not work. It did for the Service Soon Indiction only.

By alternating between depressing the stalk button and then the Start button, the unit goes into a self test mode, but still does not clear the Change Oil Soon indication.

Very frustating to say the least.

Hi,

It is quiet difficult to replace the head light bulbs in the mk2 megane, you have to access it through your wheel arch, first take off the black cap, this is the difficult part, put your arm through until you feel another cap which needs to be unscrewed and feel for the bulb. Personally i'd take it to a garage and let them do it.

Looking at the fuses, you'll see two stacked vertically (25A), and another to the right hand side of those. Of the the two stacked, the top one is for the front passenger window and the bottom for the front driver's side. The window fuse to the right of these is for the rear windows (both of them I think)

You ned to put caulking around the top joint of the heater AC box where it mounts to the fire wall.

White smoke = Coolant entering the combustion chamber, normally caused by a blown head gasket.

Black smoke = Overly rich fuel/air mixture

Blue smoke = Oil burning, normally caused by worn rings.

for me the best car Renault have ever made is the Renault clio 2.0 litre 16 valve sport. For power/ fuel efficiency this car is in a class of it's own. The exterior of the car is sporty and sleek with it's interior following the trend and keeping the sporting attributes. The ride is extremely comfortable equipped with seats that have the sense of hugging you tight in place as you manouver the car round harsh bends.

it means that you should change the 4 injectors, if Megane has driven more than 180000 km it means that the injectors are amortizised.

follow top rad hose to engine the thermostat is in that housing

It is located at the backside of the motor block. You will need to a mirror to see it less to remove the engine.

Its due a Service , or there is a problem

No, it can not be disables as in other cars like VW. In Toyota models (all), it can only be reset to accept new keys.
