Re: Warning lights / limp mode

Hi, I am intrigued by this "limp home2 mode. Exactly what happens? Any error messages on the display? How do you know the fault codes are cleared when switched off. Our 09 Megane certainly stores fault codes. You need a good quality diagnostic system (such as CLIP) to read them. Ordinary, cheap...

Re: Megane 2 hazard lights flashing! Please help

Personally I suspect the switch. Do you have a Haynes manual? You need the later one that covers 02 to 08. It requires removal of the radio but I don't know what your later dashboard looks like to give more info. Please reread my last post. There are questions you have not answered. They might or mi...

Re: Drive shaft refitting problems

Hello Niall. Regarding driveshafts, Renaults are no different to other FWD cars. I expect you have checked that the support bearing has entered its housing and not providing the resistance. Sometimes there is a circlip on the diff shaft and the resistance of this has to be overcome. I don't know abo...

Re: Megane 2 hazard lights flashing! Please help

Wow, that's a tricky one! Can you confirm there is no beeping noise during flashing ie, it's not the alarm going off? The hazard lights are wired through the interior (UCH) and exterior (UCP) multiplex modules and there is no single fuse that controls the hazards. Fuse 7b on the UCP might be worth a...

Re: Engine struggles to start, then violent juddering.

As an illustration re injector overhaul, since I wrote the above post I have popped out to the garage, removed injectors 1 and 2 (flywheel end), split them, stripped them, cleaned in cellulose thinner, blasted with high pressure airline and refitted to the car. I was looking for swarf from inside th...

Re: Engine struggles to start, then violent juddering.

If you have got to more than 100k miles without injector problems you are very lucky. Unfortunately Delphi injectors are expensive and most of those on ebay are rubbish - "car was running fine when it came into the yard mate...." If your car is 80bhp you could have EJBR01801Z injectors and...

Re: Re-sync key after flat battery

Gareth I have never known a Renault card to be resynced and I have replaced lots and removed lots of batteries. I did it the other day with our mark 3 after the "low battery" message came up. Fitted another DL (CR) 2032 and the keycard worked perfectly. If the problem persists, try disconn...

Re: airbag light stays on

Even the mark 3 has this problem. When alerted by daughter (who drives the car) of the "check airbag" message, before plugging in CLIP, I looked under the rear of the seat. I found two large drink bottles. One empty but the other nearly full. Checking the wiring under the front of the seat...

Re: locking wheel bolt code

Good news about the wheel bolt device. But what would you do if you lost your key and needed it urgently? I found myself in this position earlier this year. I keep it in the car but there it was - gone! I can only think I used it and forgot to take it off the wheel nut and drove off. Signs of senili...

Re: locking wheel bolt code

I do believe you are correct about the wheel bolt code. My book has a white sticker with FER19124 next to the words "Key code" and stamped directly beneath that is "WHEEL NUT". If it's any consolation I too find the procedure for posting photos user unfriendly. Not so easy as Fac...

Re: Engine struggles to start, then violent juddering.

This is a very interesting problem. As far as I could see, you have not given the recorded mileage of your car. This would indicate or rule out certain problems. I note all the sensors you have replaced, none of which worked. I recognise these as "desperation measures" as carried out in ma...

you cynics may be interested to learn that Monsewer Renault did learn from the error of his ways! Meg 3 bulbs are a cinch to replace as the headlamps easily lift out! Voila!

Re: engine mount

I think you mean the engine steady bar that runs from the gearbox to the chassis roughly beneath the gear lever. The rubber joints wear and cause the engine to rock (as I expect you have discovered.) Assuming the one on the petrol cars is the same as the dci (and why would it not be?), it is easy to...

Re: Steering locked / not locked

When this happened to my car a few years ago it was recovered 50 miles to my house. I gave the lock housing a smart tap with a hammer during the starting phase and instantly it unlocked. Sometimes the internal mechanism sticks. As you are aware, it is impossible to remove the lock (for obvious reaso...
