The Mégane II Owners' Club

Hi there. I washed my car earlier (megane 1.9 dci) with fairy liquid and water including under the bonnet as wanted to remove oil from an oil leak due to incorrectly fitted oil filter. Now my car wont start!!! It tries turning over then just crunches (alternator) sounds nasty. Managed to get it to f...

Managed to get fixed for £20 including oil top up . Turns out the seal had popped out of the oil filter. Just needed removing and replacing.

Thankyou, my partners back home now so ive got him out looking at it. Its does seem like theres a build up of pressure so need to locate where the blockage is. I dont know if all the pipes were cleared out wen the new turbo was fitted. Can't see what make the old filter was but looking inside everyt...

Ive not had it checked out properly but it just sounds like its an injector down. Makes a tappety kind of noise and the check injection light is on. Until the oil leak it was driving fine. Struggles starting in the morning from cold but think it could do with nee glow plugs too.

Mine used to do that. Not sure why but after using Radweld to sort out problem with water leak/ cooling system it stopped doing it . Mine still pulls crap mpg but it also needs new injectors and it now has a major oil leak, its just one thing after another......... hope u get urs sorted.

Im guessing it must b a seal or build up of presseure coz its blocked sumwhere. Its had a small l...

With the old oil filter yes it pissed it out from idle and even while it was cranking over trying to start. It often takes few times to start from cold, its had new battery but needs glow plugs and injectors but not got round to doin that yet. Anyhow with the new oil filter on it was fine on Idle wa...

I haven't serviced it yet, its got mostly full service history and stamps in book think it was last serviced in july. The dash says next service due in 12,000 miles. I used oil recommended by halfords to top it up. Halfords own make 5/40 fully synthetic I think it was.

Yeh you can see it literally oozing out from the oil filter where seal is.

Hi, I have a 2005 megane 1.9dci. Ive only owned the car for 2 months, it's done 107k, had new turbo last year and check injection light has been on since I bought it. The car had been driving fine but the oil light came on on tuesday so I topped it up with the recommend oil from halfords. Started th...
