Static Buildup in the Megane

Postby snapdragon » Sun Apr 30, 2017 8:58 am

Does anyone else get a static shock every time they get out of their Megane II?
Ours is really bad, especially in dry weather. Never had a car like this, considering fitting a strap...

Seems to be caused by engine running rather than driving as idling for a while before setting off and get out and ZAP!

Hi there,
Haven't noticed this with my Megane, might be because it's a diesel. ls yours petrol (sparks).
l can remember back in the day, sparks at the tip of the key just unlocking the door.
A lot depends on the clothes you wear.
Don't see those earth straps on cars now like we used to.
Should solve it for you though.
Let us know if it works.
Bob.
