Renault Scenic

bring to the gearbox specialist:))))

There are several factors that cause brake squeal. The primary reason is usually the brake pads themselves. Many of the carbon metallic brake pads are the worst as far as squealing. This is due to the composition of the pad material itself. The OEM pads are usually relatively quiet in comparison. Thus, the solution may be as simple as changing to a different brand of brake pad. Excessive brake pad wear, warped rotors, misaligned calipers, loose calipers, loose wheel bearings, incorrectly sized pads, glazed pads or rotors and sticky pistons may also cause your brakes to sing high alto in the anvil chorus. If your brake pads and braking system are in good condition and you experience squeal just as you are almost stopped, this is usually the brake pad vibrating against the rotor/caliper, causing the rotor to ring like a bell. If you experience noises at other times, check to make sure your brake pads are in good condition and show equal wear. Sometimes a piston will hang up and cause excessive wear and failure of one pad. Check all of your pads to make sure that one is not down to the metal backing plate. The backing plate does not have quite the coefficient of friction as do the brake pads and will usually dig nasty grooves into your rotor for good measure. If you experience clunking noises, a vibrating pedal, or a screeching sound, you should have your entire brake system checked by a qualified mechanic. If you wait too long, the next sound you hear may be "crash". One option to help reduce the brake pad symphony is to install brake pad vibration damper pads. The vibration dampers that several suppliers sell are a self-stick fiber material that adheres to the back of the brake pad backing plate. Some models are manufactured with a mushroom shaped button spring in the center. The button spring fits tightly into the piston and the fiber disk adheres to the backing plate of the pad. The theory is that the fiber disk will help cushion (i.e., soften) the vibration of the brake pad. The second part of the theory is the mushroom button will help pull the pad away from the rotor when the piston retracts after the brake is released. This resulting extra clearance will reduce/eliminate squeal. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. A second option is to coat the back of the brake pads with a quality anti-squeal compound. I have found that a combination of the vibration dampers and a coating of one of the brake anti-squeal compounds usually reduces low speed squeal to a tolerable level. A third solution is to coat the area of the pad backing plate that contacts the caliper piston with a THIN coating of high temperature anti-seize. You do not have to coat the entire backing plate, only the area that is in contact with the piston. The key words are THIN and HIGH temperature. You do not want anti-seize to run onto the front of the pads or the rotor. This is somewhat like waxing your brake pads.

Clean oil

This is an answer in general not just for a Renault. In general a camshaft does not wear out very fast. A camshaft should last for the entire life of the engine. If you ever take the engine apart for a rebuild you could inspect the camshaft then for wear.

Yes you can still drive the car, althogh you could end up lossing some power

Changing KM to MPH on a Fiat Scudo will need the owner or a technician to change the whole odometer system. This will ensure that the readings will be accurate.

it usually says on the tyre but 30psi would be fine

Under the Glovbox and the other fusebox is next to the battery on the right.

its in the inside cover of the instruction manual if it says 2545 you press the "1" button on the radio twice, then the "2" button 5 times, the "3" button 4 times & the "4" button 5 times. then press & hold the "6" buton until the numbers register. the code relates to the number of times the relative buton as to be pressed.

faulty clutch. shudder while pulling away , then shudder goes away at higher speed

More likely to be a duff gearbox mounting, common fault on the scenic.

i have the same problem with a Renault clio 182 cup.

French cars ain't the best for this stuff :(

I have been quoted €250 by Sandyford Renault in Dublin for a replacement key for a 2004 Grand Scenic.

Check rubbers around boot and around rear window[may be perished]if so replace them,also check rear lights for possible leak,sandy

faulty switch

In K9K engine series: If you mean the tdc in order to lock crankshaft to replace timing belt, in front of the engine near the flywheel zone right below the oil pressure valve there is a small bolt (usually with a torx head "star").

Removing that bolt and inserting a special locking tool through that hole ,will lock crankshaft right on the tdc.

No he means the TDC Sensor which is on top of the bell housing it is held in place on a banana shaped plate which is bolted to the engine with 2 10mm bolts.

Petrol engine filter is located under the floor near to the tank.

My Scenic is a 2001 model with a 1998cc motor. The engine type is F4R which has 4 spark plugs. The spark plugs use a 5/8" socket plug. You will need about a 15cm extension on the socket as the plugs are situated deep inside the engine.

Slide the centre console back fully, lift the plastic cover on the floor, porti connecter is purple.

hi this might help :the heater blower fan resistor is situated in the top of the air ducting behind glove box and pass airbag.Access to it requires removal of the top part of the dashpad and also part of the flexible demister ducting.May be a good idea to check the cabin filter for blockage(access from pass footwell)as this can cause resistor to overheat

rain water is leaking into my Renault scenic 2000 and is causing all the electrics to go haywire blinking indicators on all time cant turn off. rain water in fuse box where is the leak coming from?

once the engine is running, press the information button until it says "service due", then keep the button pressed. "service due" will now flash, keep the button pressed, then the new "miles to next service" will be shown, release the button and it's now reset. hope this helps I tried this on an 05 megane and it did not work.In additon you must press a small button next to 150mph on the speedo until it blinks and cleers instead of keeping the button pressed. good luck

had the same happen to me rear shock absorber arm had broken was told its better to replace both sides cost £204 incl vat. had the same happen to me rear shock absorber arm had broken was told its better to replace both sides cost £204 incl vat.
