The Mégane II Owners' Club

I'm compiling a new list of FAQ questions to add.

Please feel free to add your questions here and i'll do my best to get the answers.

such as:
How do i get the spanner icon off after servicing?
how do i get the change oil sign to go away?
what bulbs do I need?
what oil filter do I need?
What oil type is recommended for my engine and example of such...

etc... keep them coming in!

also, if you have something you'd like to author and add yourself, make a new topic and mark it for my attention in the subject line "for faq" or something obvious and i'll move it over!

How to power radio wipers windows etc with out starting engine:
for models without keyless start,
card in slot press start without depressing brake or clutch
would think for keyless start you will just press start button without depressing brake/clutch

How to lock doors without keycard or card broken:
Stop engine,
ensure card is out of slot,
open door leave open,
press and hold in door lock/unlock button, you will hear click then after approx 5 seconds you will hear a louder clunk and dash display will go out,
get out of car and close door, all doors should be locked, courtesy lights will go out after a delay.
(remember to take card with you and if its not working will have to use emergency key to get back in)

Ray, had a homer moment have put two topics in everthing else for your attn ref above two replies...
Bump go the brain cells

how to unlock the steering lock/have power steering assistance/etc without the engine started:

card in slot, feet off all pedals, press the start button for 5 seconds, steering will unlock.

HI Guys, I am new to this so I hope someone can help. I am running a 54 plate scenic and servicing costs the way they are I am going to do it myself, how do you reset the service schedule (get rid of the spanner) where is the diagnostic socket ? Also when opening the n/side front elec window it just dropped and I had to lift it and wedge it to keep it closed. Is this common and is it easy to fix, thought I would ask before I start to strip off the door panel. hope someone can help.

resetting the service indicator is (or was) in the faq. else it's in the forums if you use the search function

diagnostic socket is under the card reader.

re:window, you might need a new regulator. common prob.

Water in door card storage area - I had this looked at approx 18 months ago at a local dealer and they fixed it now out of warranty and looking to see if it's something I can fix myself.

i had this prob and for the life of me i cant find how the water got in ?? realy weird

that'd be the coming from the speakers no?

Im sorry to ask such silly questions but I dont really know anything about cars, so id like a little a bit of help, even if they do seem obvious.

I currently have a Renault Megane DYNAMIQUE VVT 03 1.6. As I bought the car without a handbook :
I am just wondering what pressure should the tyres be?
How often do I put new oil in the car? What oil is best?
Is the little spanner flashing on my screen a problem?

Again I know these are silly questions but I would be very grateful for your help.

Thanks.
