The Mégane II Owners' Club

After running car for a week car runs fine, smoke all cleared up but car does not seem as nippy.
You car here turbo kicking in so it's works fine.

One good thing is the mpg has risen to around 45mpg.

Final update: car all finished and runs better than ever.
Slight blue smoke from exhaust but expected this.

I would like to thank for all the help here and to Ram Induction Ltd which have been exceptional helpful in parts and help.

A+++++++ to all.

Engine all put back together, just need exhaust gasket and fill with oil. Tomorrow night is the big day.

Is thre a picture of the engine layout just so I can check vacuum pipe layout.

Just an update: stripped all pipe work, int cooler and flushed the lot. Oil present in all. Good sized impeller bits found in inter cooler, all removed and flushed again. Allowing to dry and start to re assemble tomorrow. Garage told me to leave egr off, blank up and use a resistor across connector ...

Many thanks for your quick reply, the help is fantastic.

The car was stop instantly at the time noise started and toed home by Rac so hopefully reducing the chance of any metal entering the engine.

Fingers crossed as it idled perfectly fine before it was stripped.

I have stripped the manifold off the car and finally freed the turbo. The air compressor side impeller is totally shattered and just fell out, the exhaust side is ok no sign of oil. I plan to clean out pipes, inter cooler and oil/filter change. Is there any thing else you would recommend (egr valve ...

Firstly many thanks for your reply, I am new to this forum and not quit got used to creating new threads.


I will try stripping of the manifolds tonight, tried for ages last night to get it out the bottom as people have advised but there is not enough clearance.


Cheers

Trying to remove turbo totally collapsed. Have got the turbo loose in car but can not get it out of the car. Tried removing it from the bottom but not enough clearance, how do you you get it out?

Please help any body...

Just repaired my hanbrake, it was not latching on. The problem was the button mechanism, really simple to repair. The plastic holder within the handle was smashed in three places and was easily repaired by drilling and bolting back together. It too two hours and Iam not a mechanic. Well worth checki...

Had the same stop light andb brake light on my car, only flashes on steep hills. My brake fluid was at half way so i topped it up and the light has not come back on.

i have had it checked for leaks and no sign of any, at the minute it seems intermitant. You have to switch it on and off a couple of times then it works. When it works it blows out really cold air, so the compressor must be working!!! can this just be down to the switch, if so is it easy to get at a...

hi many thanks. Had it filled to 500 pressure ant it was intermittent so we filled it to 540 and it worked. If it stops again is it possible to short the switch and see if it works?

iam having problems with my a con, had it fllled twice each time working for a couple of days then stopping. ihave been assured that there is no leaks.

Hy there, Well, if you have an hole on the IC you will have lack of power and a rich moisture, that explains the symptoms. Did you changed the IC already? Cheers Had new intercooler fitted, now runs sweet as a nut. again many thanks to all for your help. ps Evans halshaw was really good to deal with.

Well, the intercooler will not solve your problem because the intercooler doesnt produce any smoke at all, its a completely static device, air goes in and air goes out, nothing else, except something besides air enters inside the intercooler, then its air and something else going in and air and som...
