Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
Wow Mike, some more excellent information, When I first started researching the Megane online, I was drawing a lot of blanks, I was finding a lot of people asking questions and not many getting answers. I think I said in an earlier post, that if I had known that these pumps where notorious for commi...

Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
Hi Mike, Good post, some nice reference data there, but as far as I am concerned, I find what you say about bubbles particularly interesting. I have spent a good few hours today looking at bubbles. I did a leak off test with four bottles today, and plugged the return pipe from the injectors at the p...

Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
Hi quaker, I have just watched the video that you posted, and basically what the guy said is true, but if it is preventative maintenance you need then I don't think you need to go that far. First you need to look inside the fuel tank, if you find metal filings,(through the fuel they look gold in col...

Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
Hi Dave, I agree with you that the 'Injection Fault' message is quite vague, anything from an open fuel cap to a sticky brake pedal switch, Oh and there might be something wrong with the engine..... I did a lot of work with the multi meter under the bonnet before coming to the conclusion the the pum...

Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
Hi Alex, We are going to ditch the fuel in the tank, then flush a little through the system and ditch that, then we will connect the new pump to the system and install the high pressure side. I have read about people putting two stroke in the tank, does this not cause problems with the cat? Because ...

Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
I have now serviced the first injector, there was no sign of any debris inside, one of the spay holes in the nozzle was blocked with a carbon build up.I cleared the hole with a single strand of speaker wire with a 0.095mm diameter and checked that the others were totally clear. This injector is now ...

Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
Hi Alex, The story we got from the seller was, the car was running fine, it just broke down at the side of the road, without warning. The seller's wife was driving, she phoned home, and the first thing the guy said was " have you run out of fuel?", I am not sure at what point, but I suspec...

Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
Hi Alex, thanks for your reply, I did read somewhere that cylinder 1 is at the gearbox side. I did work out that my crank sensor was good, I was getting about 200 rmp on the rev counter, so the injection computer appeared to be alive, we figured this out also by the existence of a 5 volt feed to the...

Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
Today we went to the breakers and bought a few glow plugs (all tested good)and a few fuel pressure sensors which can not be tested in the breakers yard, we picked up a few in case one was bad. The total for the sensors and the plugs was £5. We fitted the sensor and immediately the Megane was able to...

Re: Injection Fault & STOP 1.5 DCI
Hi, I am new to this forum and to Meganes. A friend found an 2004 two door 1.5 DCI with 115k on the clock on ebay for cheap, spares or repairs. The seller described the car as having an injector fault, since we both work on cars a lot we thought that this car would be a bargain. I have always said t...
