The Mégane II Owners' Club

Welcome along.

Good look with your project, and diesel for the win

Cheers Ed...nice one

Not sure mate..

Aint even looked, managed to acquire a replacement engine for next to nothing from a friend who wrote his Megane off.
I know his engine has been looked after well, with low milage..no brainer in my opinion.

Prob will strip it down when its out, see the damage.

Never done the springs on a Megane, but you will need spring compressors I'm guessing.

You will also need a wind back tool for the calliper pistons, but I used a G clamp, worked ace.

Right, got most of the stuff out I need to get out. Disconnected all plugs, cables and live/earth straps. Can someone please tell me how to disconnect the gear linkages the right way and also the drive shafts? Am I going to get coverers in oil when I do the driveshafts? Also would it be a good idea ...

Welcome to the world or Renault mate.

Diesel all the way

If I go for the engine swap, will I need the ECU from the new engine or will mine work?
Or will I have to get mine programmed to the new engine?

Great info guys.

Im going to start stripping the head off Monday night and asses the damage from there.
Like you say, maybe there isn't much damage, fingers crossed.

I will keep my progress posted up here, as I'm a complete novice I will be needing advice lol.


Cheers guys.

Our (broken) Meg sits next to our BMW

As some of you might have read, the wifes cam belt went on her 1.4. Looking into it, I think the best, cheapest option would be a replacement engine? Im planning on doing the swap myself and Im not pushed for time at all. Just a few questions. Is it as simple as take out, put new one in? I will be d...

I don't think I'm going to bother mate.

/had enough of Renault cheap crap now

Yep cam belt it is...

Told her she should have brought a BMW.

Hi

My Megane 03 1.4 cut out at an island.
