Renault Car Immobiliser Bypass
How to bypass a Renault car immobilizer using its bypass de-activation code
For use with cars that have an infra-red key
What is it?
Some Renault cars have an inbuilt system that enables you to override the immobilizer should the infra-red key fob cease to work. This is useful to emergency and recovery services should they need to move a dead vehicle.
The Immobiliser Bypass Code is a four digit numeric code that is unique to each car. This code can be obtained by running a small downloadable Windows 32 bit software application and entering the specifics of your car.
This technique can only be used to override the immobilizer on a vehicle for which you have the key or key number so don't go thinking you can use this method to steal cars!
So, if you have found that the infra-red key fob for your Renault car is no longer de-activating the immobilizer, this bypass technique can be used as a temporary work around to start the car until you can get it fixed properly by a dealer.
Why are you giving away this information?
It is true that some people on internet forums and auction sites are charging for this information.
Your car is important to you and I believe that if your car has been rendered undriveable through no fault of your own and a quick easy fix is available you should not be held to ransom by someone wishing to make some profit.
I hope that you find this information useful and perhaps even use it to get yourself out of a sticky situation.

How does it work?
The application that is available for download here will enable you to find out what the immobilizer bypass code is for your car. Once you have the code you can use it for as long as you need, there is no limit as to how many times you can enter it.
Don't wait until you are stuck in the middle of nowhere wishing you had your code. Get it now and keep it for when you might need it.
Will it work for me?
To find out if this system will work for your car, try the following test:
If your vehicle has a central locking button on the dash/centre console:
Switch on the ignition.
Press and hold the central locking button.
If the immobilizer light stops blinking and changes to a slow flash, this system will work for you.
If your vehicle does NOT have a central locking button on the dash/centre console:
Switch on the ignition.
Press and hold the accelerator pedal (you may also need to press the button on the end of the windscreen wiper stalk).
If the immobilizer light stops blinking and changes to a slow flash, this system will work for you.
How do I do it?
Entering the bypass code:
If your vehicle has a central locking button on the dash/centre console:
Download the ZIP file that contains the RenaultImmCode.exe application from here.
Extract the two files from the ZIP file and read the ReadMe.txt file which contains some simple instructions.
Run the RenaultImmCode.exe file and enter your car type number.
Enter the code on the sticker inside your key or the key numbers from the front of your service book.
Make a note of the four digit bypass code which should be displayed.
Press Enter twice to exit the application.
Get into your car, switch on the ignition and hold the central locking button down and the red immobilizer light will start to flash slowly.
Count out the number of flashes and release the central locking button when it matches the number of the 1st digit of your bypass code.
Now hold down the central locking button and count the flashes up to the 2nd digit of the bypass code and release.
Repeat the above step for the 3rd and 4th digits.
Re-synching the key fob (may not always work):
With all bypass digits entered, turn off the ignition.
Hold down the central locking button. The immobilizer lights should remain constantly on.
Point your key fob at the IR sensor near the internal rear view mirror and press on/off quickly. Hopefully the key should now be re-synched.
If it is not, wait for the immobilizer light to start flashing and try steps 12-13 again making sure the ignition is off. It may take a few goes or may not work at all in which case you'll have to see your dealer to have it reprogrammed.
If your vehicle does NOT have a central locking button on the dash/centre console:
If you don't have central locking you just need to substitute the pressing of the central locking button with the accelerator instead in the above instructions (you may also need to press the button on the end of the windscreen wiper stalk).
How do I find my car type number?
Your car type number will be printed on the Oval Plate which has been used for the identification of Renault vehicles since 1909. The location and design was changed several times during that period.

In vehicles produced after 1995 the Oval Plate is made from plastic in form of sticker located on right side middle door pillar. It can be seen by opening front passenger door.
From 1997
The car type number is indicated by the number 9 in the diagram below.
From 1995
The car type number is indicated by the number 8 in the diagram below.
Before 1995

I am yet to take my 1.5 DCi Diesel (2005) Kangoo to the local garage, but I believe this may be caused by either fuel filter blockage or a defective sensor on the Cam Shaft or Crank Shaft. First experienced intermittent loss of power about a month ago. My Engine Management Light illuminated for the first time only yesterday, and now remains on (as I write). To be updated!

What are the tappet settings for a Renault 5 after the head has been skimmed?
clearance will still be set with a feeler gauge to the same clearance, you will need to undo the tappet to allow for the removed head material.
Is this a diesel? Usually a curly spring means that your glow plugs are on.
How do you open Renault master bonnet?
Open the passenger door and look up to the left in the footwell. Here you will see the release lever. Pull it backwards then go to the front of the vehicle and slip your fingers underneath the partly released bonnet feeling for a small lever. When you find it push it up and lift the bonnet open.
How do you change heater control light on a Renault master?
This can be done without removing the dash - you need to remove the display panel to the left of the radio (removing the sprung clip thing below will also give you more access - both come out with a small prybar or trim lifter), then have a feel around and there is a round recess just over half way down the heater control to the left - in there is the bulb holder.
Once located use a 9mm socket (1/4" drive best ideally with a right angle attachment) and give it a quarter turn, the bulb holder and bulb will then come out (and if your anything like me fall out of the socket, drop down and get stuck!).
Once you have the bulb holder out the old bulb just pulls out and can be replaced (about 50p from local motor factor). Refitting is the reverse of removal just with more swearing and frustration!
A torch, telescopic-magnetic pick up tool and telescopic mirror really are essential for this job.
Good luck.

What is the cause of 1998 Renault megane water leak in driver's footwell?
Hi there in most cars not just in meganes if the leak is inside the car in either the drivers side or passenger footwell its normally the heater matrix which is located behind the dash board. But check under your carpets first as you may have a hole in the floor which would let in in rain water wen driving.
Try to remove the covers that are just below the front window (those with holes in them). They are easy to just snap off. Chance is big that you will find this area filled with water. This is due to a drainage hole that tends to get clogged on meganes.
Where is Renault Modus cabin filter located?
You need multi flexy back, torch and dixterity!
For UK Drive cars..........
Look in the Passenger well [where feet go]. On right, under center console is a vertical white plastic fitment with a 'pull' tag on it. This is it. Pull with pliers
Getting it out is simple but to replace it might be better to take out the glove box and give yourself more room. Don't take out until you have a replacement as muck goes everywhere and its a hell of a job.
I had problems getting one in the UK, there was general apathy about the whole thing. But try a French car bits superamrket such as 'Norauto' it was 21€.
Ours was completely blocked - so much for UK car serviceing.
Its worth as well looking at price of the engine air filer at same shop, this is behind the battery - aprox, you need 10mm spaner and T20 driver for this filter. Goes into click top box.
Renaullt refuse to tell you where these are located.good luck!
My Renault clio won't start it just klicks?
Possible causes. Flat battery. Starter motor jammed or faulty Bad wiring connection. Engine seized.
Where is Renault laguna 1998 heater resistor?
Open the glove box and disconnect the glove box light. Take out the glove box. (There are 7 "Star" screws holding it in - 4 in the roof and 3 in the bottom under the edge of the "carpet" on the floor of the glove box). Once you have taken the glovebox out you should see the resistor. It has a metal plate covering 3 "springs" and there are two electric sockets plugged into it. Also there are two thick wires (one black and one red) going from the resistor to the blower motor. This can be unplugged from the heater blower motor.
