Megane 1.6 16v 54 plate not starting

Postby Matthuds » Wed Nov 16, 2016 8:13 am

I have just bought a Megane 1.6 16v and it will not start I have got check injection and stop light, i have checked very little so far, any watchouts with these? Have lots of experience of the F4R in clio 172/182 but not much with these.

Injection + Stop lights mean a critical fault detected by the ECU. It may not be actually a critical fault, but some sensor malfunctioning. In any case, get an OBD reader and see what the ECU reports. ELM327 readers are cheap on eBay (a fiver or so) p!us you need some software for the phone or laptop. I tried Scan master for Windows and Torque for Android. In order to access the ECU while the engine is off, press and hold Start for 5 seconds while not touching any pedals.
