New owner Megane 1.5 Dci problems

Postby littlekev » Mon Aug 11, 2008 3:11 pm

Hi everyone, after owning vw's for years i really liked the look of the megane so decided to buy one for the wife but after reading some of the posts on here beginning to think maybe i shouldn't have as ive got a few problems already.
First problem is the power steering, "steering check" is up on the dash and there is no power assistance, i believe there is a problem with the column but is it just as straight forward as replacing it or does it have to be set up/coded etc...??
Next one is when you are driving along the "injection fault" and "stop" lights come up on the dash but it drives perfectly.. read on here it could be glow plugs but have checked the resistances and they are all the same.. unless they are all knackered :-) starts fine from cold though.
Last one which isn't really so important is the indicators are a bit intermittent, they do work but flash at different speeds as do the hazard lights when they are operated..
Apart from this im loving the car, especially the fuel consumption and road tax.. hopefully once i get these problems sorted out i can start to enjoy driving the car a little more.
Thanks in advance for any help guys.. will try and get some pictures of it up soon

Welcome to the club. The electric power assisted steering box is expensive if it needs replacing. As for the indicators, check that all the bulbs are working. Not sure about the injection fault, diagnostics would tell you but that's £70 to find out.
