Hi,
I wonder whether anyone can shed any light on the problems i am having with my Renault Megane 1.9DCI Dynamique 04 reg
Over the past few weeks when i put the keycard in the slot and attempt to start the car using the start button the engine will not start. The engine does not even crank. I have noticed that the oil light, battery light, and stop light remain and a beep noise comes from the car. If i repeatedly press the start button the car will eventuallty fire up and start straight away. The car then runs perfectly once it has started up, the engine doesnt cut out and i have never experienced any loss of power. Having drove a number of miles as soon as i turn off the ignition it will start first time. However, when i leave the car for over an hour or so the problem returns. It seems to be fine once the engine has warmed up. I have took the car to a local garage (not Renault) and they have stated no fault codes have been recorded.
My next option is to go to Renualt and pay for them just to plug it into a computer to try and attempt to identify any further faults.
Has anyone ever come across this problem before or know of any remedy??
Thanks,
James

It's a variation on a theme this. I would check the electrical connections to the starter motor and its solenoid. Also, how old is the battery? The original will be ready for a replacement.

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

hi,
there is definately a click when i attempt to start the car, i have noticed that when the car does eventually start from cold the glow plug symbol comes on for a second then disappears, when the car doesnt start the symbol is not present
the battery is the original one which came with the car new,
i have noticed on two occasions when i attempted to start the car the engine fan came on and would only go off when i pressed the start button again

Re: Renault Megane 04 1.9DCI starting problem
sounds like a bad electrical problem in the starter circuit. i would phone an auto electrician
Re: Renault Megane 04 1.9DCI starting problem
like i said once the engine has started and is still warm it always starts up fine and straight away,
just started it from cold this morning and noticed there was no click when it didnt start

Re: Renault Megane 04 1.9DCI starting problem
Replace the battery or check the connections - at least subject it to a load test. Try to replicate the problem with the headlamps switched on. Observe if the headlamps dim when the engine cranks (they should). If they dim but it doesn't crank the problem is most likely an old battery (or connections). If no click is heard and the lights don't dim, the solenoid connection is probably duff.
