Renault have told me that my cold starting problem on my Megane 1.5dci is being caused by a faulty aircon sensor.
This sensor has not workrd for over a year and i have had the cold stat problem for 2 months.
They have now charged me £220 for a recharge and new sensor.
Does anyone Know how or why this sensor causes starting faults because the mechanic just said it sometimes does
