I hate to tempt fate, but my car has been error free for over a week, [apart from the smoke on cold starting which now feels normal] including a 800 mile trip into France, which I have to say was most enjoyable, and must have helped to run the car in. Now over 3k on the clock. French toll roads are ...

dying is a "Characteristic" of taking arsenic,, but it's not something you would wish for.... I'm sorry but I find it hard to enjoy this car when I'm just waiting for the next warning lamp to come on!! And to be honest it's not that powerful, Pulling away and getting out of roundabouts shows a lack...

Well at least you know that this is "Characteristic" of the car. As long as it's not using any oil or causing any other problems then ignor it and enjoy your Megane and all the power you have to play with :P As for the Air bag fault :? Iain, dying is a "Characteristic" of taking arsenic,, but it's ...

Renault Build A Better Car :D Hi Woody, Well, after taking info from the cars ecu, smoke tests, vidoes ect.. it took Renault Technical three weeks to come back and tell us "the smoke is part of the cars charecter" As for the air bag warning light.

Hi Boysie I must be just lucky bro, maybe because its a corporate account it was sourced for (Reagroup Manchester). Its maybe aslo that my car is probably a later batch from the factory than you and mrs boysie. Did have the smoke once or twice (When i posted so) but that stopped after that and no o...

I have a black Megane GT DCi 150 and I love it, its amazing. Done 1k miles in (3 weeks old) and im getting 50-55 Mpg which is pretty good for the 2.0L It really wants to go, you accelerate and it doesnt want to stop. I would recommend one I have TWO 150GT's... They have both had issues thet you can...

Updated: Both cars now have a few thousand miles on them and the plume of blue smoke continues. There have been no issues with oil consumption. it seems to be an overfueling issue on cold startup and speeking to other owners they all seem to do it... Renault Technical are traveling down to view both...

boysie You don't state what milleage both of the 150's have done? Blue smoke on startup can be 2 things: - 1: Unburnt fuel; - because the cylinders are cold and being quenched with fuel, complete combustion is not taking place, the ECU will overfuel slighlty on a cold engine, in order to make it ru...

Sounds like a diesel to me. Correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't this usually happen when the cars being run in in particular? Hi, yes it isnt unusual to have a small amount of oil consumption from a diesel motor when running in.. However it is not acceptable to have a large plume of blue smoke emit...

GT 150 DCI
Not really a problem [yet] But my 20 DCI shows a plume of light blue smoke on startup from cold. We have two, and they both do it, so I suppose it's correct? But I've not had this on a car since I had a Mk2 Cortina 30 years ago, and dont feel this is acceptable. Normaly I would say this was due to f...
