Re: Renault Megane Cabriolet convertable. 2007.

That doesn't sound like the correct handbook that you are looking at. Try reading pages 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 of this online handbook and see if that makes it clear. On my 2004 convertible, the boot doesn't leak, the roof doesn't leak and the windows only leak very slightly if I park the car overnight wi...

Re: rattle when start engine

Does that engine have hydraulic tappets? The noise could be just while the oil pressure builds up enough to take-up the gap.
If so, then it shouldn't make the noise when re-starting the engine just a few seconds after it has already been running.

When the battery voltage drops below a certain value, that will reset the trip and other counters. It happens to mine sometimes on very cold mornings.

Re: Engine cutting out very briefly.

I've just put the car on CLIP today, and it had a stored DF008 Pedal Potentiometer Circuit Track 1 - 2. DEF. This code wasn't there when I last looked several months ago, so I cleared the code and then went for a drive until the engine power cut again. Then I read the codes again, and it was back. S...

Re: Engine cutting out very briefly.

Well, I'm bringing this thread back again, as I've just had my worst day yet of 1.9DCi random power losses. I have had many months of not having the problem, indeed it hadn't really occurred since this 1.9dci power loss solved!!! thread was discussing the possible link with a faulty brake light swit...

Re: best HIDs?

If you are talking about a conversion to HID from normal bulbs then I wouldn't bother. I tried it on a previous car and although the lights look 'cool', they actually don't show up the road particularly well. Plus, it is illegal to fit HIDs to non-HID headlamp units. I currently have an Espace that ...

Re: Pulling to the left

Sorry, I can't help with a fix, but I can add that my 2004 1.9DCi convertible also wanders to to left. It does seem in part to be due to the camber of the road, and if I find a truly level bit then it pulls much less, but there is still a bit there. I have worn out one set of tyres since I've had th...

Re: magane 2 bouncing

I have recently changed the front springs on my 1.9DCi convertible because one of them broke. I found it extremely worrying that several suppliers I checked for new springs did not realise that different versions of the Megane should have different springs. I personally checked the part numbers of t...

Re: Interior Oil level indicator - 1.9dci 120 2004

My 1.9DCi dipstick is also curved along most of its length, is that wrong?
It was like it when I bought the car at about 90,000 miles and I just assumed they were supposed to be like that!

Re: Can anyone recommend a good OBD adaptor

I've used one of these with the Android Torque lite app on a 2004 Megane 1.9DCi and it works fine to display the engine info. I didn't have any fault codes to read or reset, so I can't comment if that bit of it works or not.

Re: Confused!!!!

Only if you spin both front wheels in the same direction at the same time, OR keep one wheel from moving and then turn the other. Then the engine will turn, but it will be a lot of effort to do it like that. Personally, I'd let it back down off the stands, put it in top gear and then try pushing the...

Re: Speedo problem

No, the extra "Z" is the speed rating of the tyre, it doesn't change the size at all. I'm not sure how accurate the flashing speed warning signs are. I know there is one local 30mph one that I can go past at about 36 without setting it off but there is another one that I pass sometimes at ...

Re: Speedo problem

my speedo reads just very slightly lower than a TomTom. Sorry, I need to engage my brain before typing. I meant to say that my speedo reads slightly higher than a TomTom, i.e. when my TomTom says 70mph my speedo says about 72 or 73mph. What are you comparing your speedo with to make you think it is...

Re: Speedo problem

Have you got the correct, original size of wheels and tyres on the car? If they have a rolling radius that is too great, it will make the car go faster than the speedo says it is.

But no, to answer your question, my speedo reads just very slightly lower than a TomTom.

Wow! I've only just read this and I certainly hope you're right. My wife is out in the car at the moment, otherwise I'd be out there with the WD40 right now.
