Re: 1.5 DCI oil change intervals

Oil Filter Spec. I recently did an oil and filter change on a Megane II 1.5dci 106ps and found that the Renault dealers had fitted the "wrong" oil filter at the last service. I looked at the FRAM website which specifies a PH5796 filter. The Renault dealer had fitted a 82 00 768 927 filter...

Re: timing belt change

I think it is different from one country to another. I've seen service booklets with 10.000 km service interval for oil and oil filter. :nut I cover this mileage in 2 months sometimes, so I should go and service my car every 2 months??? Another thing is that long service intervals influence the buye...

Re: Megane DCI 1.5 Idling Issues

Hydraulic engine mount, alternator pulley, crankshaft pulley. Check yourself or find a mechanic who knows his job.

Re: Megane DCI 1.5 Idling Issues

What rpm are we talking about? Anything in the range of 750 (when warm) to 1300 (when very cold) is OK. Vibrations can come from engine mountings.

so does that mean the car has got a built in handsfree ?

It could, but if there is no aerial, then there is no hands-free. :) That can only be pre-installation for hands-free.

Re: 1.6 dci engine

It is coming to Megane III Phase 2, and I don't have any doubts about durability. This engine blok is a real deal, and I suppose that all the moving parts will be given special treatment for wear (a "silent" timing chain, mirror finished crankshaft and camshaft journals, nano finished cam,...
