Re: adjusting the clutch
Hi mate, what a bummer, at the first mention of your pedal on the floor i would have been looking at your slave cylinder, what happens is the fluid slowly drips out overnight causing a vacumn behind it which draws the master cylinder down to the floor, then when you lift it up from the floor it refi...

Re: adjusting the clutch
Hi mate, there is no adjustment on the clutch as it is hydraulicly operated, the release bearing/slave cylinder is spring loaded to keep it in contact with the clutch so in effect this is the auto adjustment. sounds like your clutch is getting to the end of its lifespan.

Re: Massive Oil Leak
Hi again, oil in the water doesnt mean its the head gasket, as the oil runs at a higher presure than the water it will be forced from oil into water rather than the other way round, like i said in my prev post, there are oilways and waterways on the thermostat end of the head and thermostat housings...

Re: PLEASE HELP !!!
Hi mate, it will beep for a period untill it then flashes either four zero's or four lines to enter the code. (i'm assuming that as you bought it new then you were given the code, if not on the side where the part number is you will see a box with four digits in it, letters and numbers, take this st...

Re: 55 plate Megane 1.6VVT dymanmique
Hi mate, if it's accompanied by a rattling noise that sounds a bit like your starter motor sticking, then it sounds like the dreaded dephaser playing up, it will need replacing. As your car is just over 5 years old its due for a cambelt change so you could do them both together

Re: 2004 1.6 16v Crankshaft Fault Code Help P0340
Hi mate, you will need to fix the dephaser problem as you will keep getting this fault as long as the dephaser is faulty, what is happenin is that the inj comp is having conflicting info in relation to crank and cam positions, i.e. because the computer reads crank position and because it powers the ...

Re: Electrical fault..
Hi mate, you would be correct on saying its water ingress, but its in the UPC (Ecu controls the engine injection upc controls all other things in the car) which is under the bonnet under the cover with the fuses in. you might be able to tale it off and dry it out but sometimes it can be fried

Re: 07 Megane II drivers window.
Hi mate, more than likely to be water in the wiring loom, because the windows have a permenant live feed (for dead locking, pressing your lock button on keycard twice quickly will close the windows and sunroof if you have one) when you get water in the loom it causes a path to earth which then power...

Re: Massive Oil Leak
Hi mate, It could be the thermostat housing as this is quite common as their are oilways and waterways on the end of the cylinder head, and as the thermostat housing is plastic and deforms with the heat and causes it to leak. head gaskets arn't very common.

Re: massive leak, please help
Hi, You say that its screenwash, that seems strange as the washer bottle is on the drivers side and the pipework for the rear one goes down the driver side. If your car has a sunroof its sound more like the sunroof drains which can become partialy blocked with leaves and bits and then drain out a fe...
