The Mégane II Owners' Club

It's had a new lambda sensor recently.Wouldn't this sort of thing show up in a diagnostic check?

My son's Megane has a low tickover.We've changed the throttle body and nothing else shows up on a diagnostic.He's previously had a coil fail( no3 ).I wondered whether another could be on the verge of giving up.A local mechanic said it wasn't likely as it doesn't misfire when revved.I've also read th...

My son's car ( 53 reg 1,4 16v) has flagged up a throttle fault;erratic idle, lack of power, you all know the score.I've located a used body from a specialist Renault scrap yard but it's of the later type with the egg shaped " box of tricks" on the side.Will this work on his car.His has the...

Two days later it goes from fine to cack back to fine again.Is there any merit in calibrating again?We left the battery disconnected for an hour.Was that enough or too long?D...

I've been tasked with "helping" my son replace a duff switch.You all know what that really means!Anyway we've located the switch.Bought the new one.I've got the correct spanner, jack etc.But,I can't for the life of me figure out how to detatch the wiring from the old switch.I've squeezed a...
