Re: Boot Won't Open
Did you pay them what they wanted? If you did, thats how they are getting away with it. Didn't have 10 minutes to satisfy a customer. What kind of management have they got running that place? Are they a main Renault dealer? If they are you should get onto Renault U.K. and also the manager needs a go...

Re: First snag in 7 years
PROBLEM SOLVED :-) The auto-electrician found the problem. It was the wire taking data from the ecu to the multiplex unit which affects the immobiliser. This wire had been rubbing off something and had eventually broken through the insulation, The copper wire corroded inside. He fixed the wire and t...

Re: Battery Change Problems

I have the same symptoms on mine except it's the red STOP light on mine is on. Both multiplex units are dry and corrosion free and according to an autoelectrician who...

Re: 1.4 Dynamic Fuel Consumption & Reverse Light issue
I thought it would never happen to me either but this is the first car I've owned that both headlights failed at exactly the same time!!! There is every chance that both of your reverse lights are gone too. As for the fuel consumption I drive mainly in the city too and the fuel consumption is approx...

Re: Boot Won't Open
They are robbing you blind there. That wire can be found in seconds. Its a ten minute job. I got charged €70 the first time the and the second time I did the job myself. It's really easy to do. I certainly wouldn't be giving them that kind of money. By the way didn't I say the wire was broken? Fract...

Re: First snag in 7 years
Wasn't the multiplex unit. Eventually got the car towed to an auto-electrician who put test equipment on everything. It tells him that both multiplex units are working normally and that the problem has been traced to the ECU on the back of the battery. He's going to test every single wire going into...

Re: Car wont Start
Found out the reason the electric fan is coming on all the time. It's something to do with the fact it is getting a reading of 270 C in order to turn it on. That's obviously a false reading and the highest reading it can give. The electrician said he has tested both multiplex units, one in engine ba...

Re: Car wont Start
You're not alone there. I have the same problems. Spent 3 days at it and eventually called the towtruck to take it to an auto-electrician. I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow. He recons it's only an earth. By the way is your electric radiator fan coming on when you put the card in and press start?

Re: Boot Won't Open
That's the first thing you do, open the boot from the inside. If you climb in through the back seat and get to the lock you will find a little white piece of plastic in the lock mechanism. Push this piece of plastic to one side and the boot will pop open. This will give you access to the wiring whic...

Re: First snag in 7 years
Yes but that didn't work so I had to remove the grill, grab the cable and release the bonnet. On refitting the battery the doors opened with the central locking. I think water got into the relays beside the battery so going to attack them tomorrow with a hair dryer and some ACF50 to keep the moistur...

Re: First snag in 7 years
Can you get in thru the boot? I had similar problem on an alfa I had a while back n that's how I got in!lol Nope, no access through there either. It's an electronic switch on that one, you know the one where the wires break and need to be reconnected. The only way into the boot is from inside the c...

First snag in 7 years
I drive an 04 Megane 1.4 Dynamique Saloon. :D Recently I have noticed it has had a bit of difficulty starting. Yesterday as soon as i put the key in the slot and pressed go, the electric cooling fan came on but the engine didn't turn. This was the first start of the day on a cold engine. I tried aga...
