The Mégane II Owners' Club

Cheers for the links Dave Just been quoted £540+ VAT to fit a new engine if i can get hold of one, does this seem reasonable to you? He said Ebay was the best place to look and i had a little browse before and saw one or two around the £200-300 mark with 60 day warrantys which will hopefully be long...

I'd love to speak to someone who's succesfully completed an engine transplant!

Cheers for that Dave, i was a bit worried about how it would work with all the electrics. The bloke on the other post you linked to seemed to think it could just be a straight swap, although i'm not sure wether he was including the electrics or not. Tbh i can't see it being an easy task, really don'...

Hi all Think my cam belt has gone which has completely mashed my engine, the mechanic said that it looked like the valve had smashed into the head and to fix it would be at least £1000+! :cry I had a quick look on ebay at a few engines and they didn't seem too expensive, and my dad seems to think he...

Cheers again Gavnaysh

Think i'm going to look at it at the weekend as i'll need my dad to help as i'm rubbish with cars. I'll let you know.

Sam

Cheers Dave, very helpful indeed.

I'll have a listen to to that file later as it won't play at work and let you know.

Sam

Haha, sorry Dave. I only posted it here as i previously asked about it in the 'screaming turbo thread' and as i have since found out that my car does not have a turbo i thought it was best to post it here, although Gavnaysh has given me some good advice in that thread. This thread can be deleted the...

Hi all I have a Megane 03 1.6 VVT and when drving at 3000rpm i can hear a loud screaching/hissing noise, especially when the window's down. its hard to explain really, almost like a loud hissing noise like air escaping or when you drive through a puddle fast? It happens about 3000rpm but as you go p...

Gavnaysh - Thanks very much for your reply. I suppose it is a bit of a screach, its hard to explain really, almost like a loud hissing noise like air escaping or when you drive through a puddle fast? It does sound like it could be a belt slipping, as it happens about 3000rpm but as you go past that ...

Hello all This is probably a very stupid question but as you can tell i'm not the best with cars. I have a 1.6 VVT Dynamique 5dr, does this have a turbo? Because i seem to have a similar problem of something screaming at me when i get to 3000revs but looking at the people on this post all of their c...

Cheers Markren, very helpful

I've got a brand new battery and think a cam and lambda sensor was fitted for the MOT, so thats a few things ticked off although it looks like it will be wise to prepare myself for the cambelt/dephaser change in the near future. Wish i could get the bloody radio working!

Thanks very much for you responses. Chevin - I'm aware that the majority of things people write on the internet are going to be problems as that is usually the reason people comment in the first place, if all is running well then there is no need to comment! However a lot of the problems are on the ...

Hello there everyone! Just purchased a 2003 Megane 1.6 Dynamique from the auctions, 60k on the clock and seems very good condition, picked it up for £1900 which i thought was very cheap so was expecting problems (especially after some of the things i've been reading! lol). Its spent its first week i...
