Dead short to ground in circuit When you turn heated rear window on - circuit is backfeeding and finding ground at shorted circuit

you will have to get you hands on a haynes manual as the belt system varies depending on the model the haynes manual showhs all configurations

get one on eBay (cheap)

i had this problem on mine.i am not so car literate but bear with me.if you look in the engine there is a small cylinder object with a blue wire coming out of it.disconnrct this wire (it just pulls off) spray connection with wd40 reconnect then squeeze together with pliers.might not work but it did for me!

Look inside the boot and lift the carpet right by the back panel, you should see a small round screw which the end of your jack "winding arm" will fit into.Loosen this screw and look under the car, the tyre should have dropped somewhat ,lift the tyre back up and release the catch, the rack should drop to the floor and allow the tyre to slid out..

Remove And Clean The Batteries And Seats Where They Go With Achohol And Make Sure They Are In Correctly.

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.

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.

Something between 7 and 8 liters.

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

Turn radio on and stay that way as long as it need and he will reset himself. some bug dnk a lot of people have that problem.

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

every 70000 miles

Unscrew the sump plug.

in summer i would use 15w40 but in winter 10w40 preferably semi synthetic

13cm or 5.25 inches

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

Diconnect the batttery and it wont matter. Car should be started once a month and idled through the gears if it is an automatic tranny Depends on battery self-discharge, outside temperatures and instruments such as clock that take current constantly. The baterry recharges about twenty minutes after each start to replenish the charge consumed in the starting. In general, it is not good to let the baterry discharde in unused car for longer than 3 months, that would require maybe a 3-5 hours recharge during car drive, but for a 1 month stand with only the clock being active you need about 30-40 minutes drive in mid to high RPM to recharge the battery. If you use the light it might take longer.

In case there is a light being lit in the trunk or storage compartment your battery will be completely discharded in a few days time.

1. call a dealer in France and they can send it to you by fax or email

It is unlikely that you will need a new engine but it will be an extensive overhaul I would expect. Almost certainly all the inlet and exhaust valves will need replacing which means having the cylinder head off. You will probably find some marking to the piston crowns but that is generally minor. Normally it is a fairly routine job to regrind the valves and re-assemble. The critical part is getting the timing right on everything when fitting a new cam belt. Also check the type of cam belt before replacing it as, depending on the age and model, the cam belt can have different shaped teeth - early models had rounded teeth, later ones square teeth and the belts are not interchangeable.

I assume you mean what is the correct tension on a Clio cam belt?

Using the twist method on the longest section of belt, it should twist between 30 and 45 degrees.

Too tight and it will whine, too lose and it will slap about.


I am writing this to try and improve the above answer. On my Clio 1.2 diet 8v the new cam belt when fitted with the adjuster fully backed off the belt would only twist about 45 degrees with moderate pressure on the section of belt Haynes suggested! ( between the water pump and the crankshaft pulley...) This was too lose! However hard I pushed it onto the belt it still only twist about 45 degrees (and this was now too tight as it whined on start up!..... so this method is too hit and miss. DO NOT RUN IT WITH THE AUXILIARY DRIVE BELT PULLEY REMOVED AS THIS PREVENTS THE BELT WALKING OFF THE SPROCKETS! ( I DID AND I ONLY JUST STOPPED THE ENGINE IN THE NICK OF TIME)


With the lock nut for the tension jockey wheel left loose push the wheel with you thumb upwards (it should be moving anticlockwise) so it is pressing onto the belt with only enough pressure to fully remove the slack. While holding it firmly against the belt lock off the nut too hold it in position. I found that if you grab the water pump and try and turn it if you cant get it to turn the belt is too taught. If it spins freely it a bit loose. If you can just get it too turn against the stationary belt its about right! I have to say however that I bricked it and purchased a facom dm.16 tension gauge and checked it was correctly tensioned. Ive heard to many horror stories with Renault and £64 pounds buys lots of piece of mind.
