The Mégane II Owners' Club

I changed my air filter recently and hadnt replaced the housing properly and it sounded like you describe. Make sure that its securely back in place, failing that take it back to whoever did the service and have them check it out

LOL I reckon that could be the key to my fortune! One job leads to another!!

I saw the depressurize comment in the manual too, i dont think its necessary though as far as im aware, dont quote me on that though!

Spot on IainMW, shoddy workmanship on my part, I hadnt put the compartment back in tightly enough and air was escaping. I took the whole thing apart and did it again and its running great! thanks!

Just changed the air filter on my megane, however there is now a slight low rumbling noise when you accelerate through 3rd gear and up. I can only really compare the sound to the sort you get off the exhaust of modified cars with mufflers (i think thats what they are). Any info/tips? thanks

How expensive are Official Renault garage for repairs on average? Im booked in in the next few days for some repairs, and whilst I know they are likely to be expensive, Meganes are sometimes complicated to give over to regular mechanics! what do other people think about this?

had mine very kindly replaced by Renault UK aswell. Just wondering what other parts they are likely to replace?

Hey guys I have a 1.4 dynamique (2004), lately when i start it it starts fine but after about three or four seconds the revs drop and the engine cuts out. It doesnt happen every time but its still noticeable. Could this just be dodgy spark plugs? or something bigger? I have it booked in with the dea...
