1.6 16v Dynamique Non Started

I've posted on other threads but felt it was time for a summary. I did a swap and got a non-running 2003 Mk2 3 door 1.6 16v Dynamique spec. Megane. Mechanically I could find nothing wrong with it. I got a Code Reader, which after I bit of trial and error, reported no stored codes. The Fuse box is cl...

Re: The "steering locked" problem - and a temp solution!

Very interesting thread. I am planning on changing the electronics on a 2003 1.6 16v this weekend. The ECU?/immobiliser box, the one under the dash is burnt. I have opened it up, which is easy and there are two areas of melted varnish and smells of burnt plastic. Whole replacement set for £50 from s...

Re: Megan will not start

I have only notice your post. I am also trying to get a Megane to spring into life (it won't). As regards the code reader: make sure the ignition is on. This means all the warning/ system lights are on. In my car this means I have to try and start is first to get these light to come on, then the cod...

Immobilser bypass

I took possession of a non-running 2003 Megane DYNAMIQUE 1.6 16V, three weeks ago. I had proper look at it this weekend. It is in good condition mechanically, trim knocked about a bit, hole in the plastic wing, all things I can fix. It just won't start. I had a roving mechanic out, with a big box of...

Re: Immobiliser problem

As I understand it, if the immobiliser is on then there will be no fuel pump, ignition, etc.
So no to a bump start.

Re: can't start up my engine

I hope X12 got his problem started. My apologies if I seem to be hijacking your thread. I've not had any success. I followed the procedure I outline below. Fuel pump works but no spark at spark plugs. I bought a VS600 (VGate), which seems to be an ok Code Reader from what I could see on other forums...

Re: can't start up my engine

I have just taken possession of a 2006, 1.6 petrol that doesn't start. Engine throws over but fades quickly. So this weekend my routine will be, which I suggest you follow: Fully charged battery that holds its charge, check petrol in tank and give a few throws. If that fails, pull off 2 ignition coi...

Hello

You can tell something of me from my user name. I just done a private exchange and got a non-running 2003 Megane 1.6 petrol. Not to sure of all the details/ specifications, working my way through the paper work. I hope to get it running in a couple of weeks as a car for my daughter, so you will see ...
