Postby rob01792 » Mon Nov 08, 2010 5:47 pm

i have 04plate 1.6 16vvt i push the button it turns over but takes bout 5/6 sec to start same if its hot or cold once its started it drive flat
i had the tdc sensor and loom changed the cam sensor, dehaser ,timing belt kit, water pump and a service with sparks and filters replaced also had software update but still the same the car only has 29k on the clock

Ok. Next idea. When you cleaned the throttle body did you disconnect the battery and then go through the re-learning procedure when reconnected?

If you switch on the ignition you should hear it whine then stop for 1 - 2 seconds. If you can't hear anything investigate. If it runs continuously, its in limp home mode, so investigate that avenue.

Red 03 plate 5dr 1.9 Dynamique dci120

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!
