Re: Air Mass Unit Problem
Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply. If only it were that simple with garages, you know what they are like. Have you got any ideas as to what the problem could be? If the AMU measures the air going in it must balance it with something on the other side (particulate sensor in the exhaust?) The car is a 106...

Air Mass Unit Problem
I can't seem to get to the bottom of this problem. If I take my 1.5DCI (diesel) up to about 3500 rpm the "check injector" warning comes on and puts the car in reduced power mode. I put the car into my local garage and the diagnostic code said new Air Mass Unit required. It was changed, cos...

Re: Is This a Turbo Problem?
Hi guys, Thanks for the feedback. It did it again this morning getting up a hill at 2500rpm, seems to be when under load. I will have to get it in to my garage who do the servicing to get the OBD reading. The car has done 72K miles and has full service history but not with a Renault dealer so I don'...

Is This a Turbo Problem?
Its happened a few times in the last year, when I try and overtake someone in my 1.5DCI it coughs and splutters, the "Check Injectors" warning light comes on along with the spanner light. The next time I start up it sorts itself out and re-sets everyting. Just lately I've noticed a flat sp...

Re: Window Problem
Hi Alex, Been looking at the downloads as you suggested as to how to remove the door card. I've found number 0850C but it doesn't explain in detail regarding how to flip up the door top panel. Is it simply putting some levers under the flap where it joins the bottom panel or is there a better dowloa...

Re: Diesel Redex
I have used Redex diesel in my 1.5dci without any problems but to be honest I haven't noticed any benefits either. I started using it after I got the same warning when trying to get up a steep hill on my way home from York. I bought a bottle that covered 4 fill ups which for me is about 3000 miles. ...

Re: Window Problem
Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply, all sounds very comprehensive. How easy will it be to get the door card off? I've looked on youtube and you remove the bottom first and then flip up the top. I'm a bit nervous about all the plastic clips, it would be really easy to break a part (possibly). The car is n...

Window Problem
Hi, A common problem I understand. The electric drivers window has become unreliable, sometimes won't come down and the (worsed of all) won't go back up. I've heard it can be the wiring loom or the regulator. If its the loom Renault pay for the part and I pay £80-£120 labour. If its the regulator I ...

Front Wheel Arch Liners
Just noticed the back part of the front wheel arch liners on both sides of my Megane II facelift (2006) are damaged. Some of the plactic fir tree plugs are missing so I expect this is the cause. Are they easy to fit? i.e. front wheel off and then a general grovel about, or does the wing have to come...

Which Tyres
Can anyone recommend which tyres I should buy. I'm looking for something that will last (hardwearing) but I don't want them to be noisy. I put a set of Michelein Pilot Sport 3's on last July which cost me £500 including balancing and they have only done 15K miles and the front ones have gone and the...

Re: Fuel Economy - Remapping
Hi guys, Thanks for the replies, yes its the 6 speed version. I like these cars because they are a good all rounders and give great fuel economy. I generally run around at about 60mph which is less than the max torque figure of 2200rpm (according to the book). Just wondered if running a bit faster m...

Fuel Economy - Remapping
Let's face it, fuels not going to get any cheaper. My 1.5dci 106hp does about 57mpg in summer (average from the computer) but has dropped to 51 mpg in winter. My previous 85hp used to do 60-65mpg. Had the car checked at last service so everything is OK. Delear suggested I stay away from supermarket ...
