Re: 1.6 Megane II Hesitates when Engine Cold!
Hi, latest is that problem still not cured and car hesitates worse now because of freezing temps. Car going back to dealer tomorrow as they actually admitted that they do get a few megane's back with throttle body problems, i.e. clogged up, and owners complaining of symptoms similar to what I descri...

Re: 1.6 Megane II Hesitates when Engine Cold!
Hi Alex, thanks for your reply. My car was back at the dealer today for them to try and fix the cold hesitation and a technician drove the car and confirmed my complaint. When I picked the car up the service dept told me that the technician found something wrong with the spark plugs so they changed ...

Re: 1.6 Megane II Hesitates when Engine Cold!
Thanks for your advice Dave. I am thinking of taking the car back to the garage in the morning because the car still hesitates (or a flatspot) when the engine is cold and then drives fine when it is warm. Other people on this forum have mentioned about the gains from cleaning the throttle body, but ...

Re: flat spot when pulling away
Hi, my 54 plate 1.6 Megane has a dreadful flatspot when pulling away from cold, once the car has warmed up it's marginally better which of the known issues do I have. There is no grinding noise on start up and it's the only issue I seem to have, it sort of spoils the nejoyment of driving it. Bri Hi...

Re: 1.6 Megane II Hesitates when Engine Cold!
Hi, not sure whether it has sorted out my issue yet, although when I picked up the car from Lookers the other day they said it was fixed now. The car still seems a bit hesitant when the engine is cold, but it's hard to say because before you know it, the engine has warmed up and then it drives fine....

Re: 1.6 Megane II Hesitates when Engine Cold!
I've got my car back now and it's been fixed! Apparently when the garage rang me at noon today to say that they had found the fault, the mechanic had already half stripped the engine down so it was ready to pick up at 5pm. The notes on the invoice say "Confirmed hesitation from cold and found c...

Re: 1.6 Megane II Hesitates when Engine Cold!
Hi, thanks for replying and yes they're both VVT engines. My girlfriends Clio 1.4 Dynamique VVT seems fine now after the garage replaced a temp sensor so I'm hoping that my problem will be just as simple! I made sure that I bought the car from a main dealer though so I've got a 3 month warranty and ...

1.6 Megane II Hesitates when Engine Cold!
Hi all I'm new to this site and have recently bought my first Renault car, a 2004 Megane 1.6 Dynamique with 33k miles on the clock, FSH. I've been keeping an eye on a potential problem for a couple of weeks now which is when the engine is cold, the car hesitates up through the gears and struggles to...
