Megane Door Hinges

[chrisguttridge]

Hi Guys,

My first post here! Hope you can help! I have a 53 plate 3dr megane (2.0l 16v vvt) When i open the drivers door i get 3 large cracking sounds coming from the door hinge - the actual sound is coming from the 90 deg box that is above the hinge.

I have searched forums and have seen loads of different fixes. I reckon its going to be easier to just replace the hinge itself.

Does anybody know where i can buy these from, i Have searched on ebay and have found i can get them for £35 quid. Also contacted breakers yards etc and it seems £35 is the going rate, Any ideas where these can be bought from at a lower price?!?

Look forward to your responses

Cheers all

Same problem here. I tried to open that box but failed.

I know what this problem is, had it on mine, really can't remember what the fix was, guess my response is fairly pointless!lol i'll be trying to think what it was...

I would really appreciate if u can rememmber what you did, because the cracking sound is very iritating every time I open/close drivers door.

I remember it was something that needed tightning, it was the part that was loose that was making the cracking, I can't remember if it was in that box or not tho... But it was as simple as just tightning a bit up n greasing it... Hope that helps, she doesn't have the car anymore otherwise I'd check...

Hi guys, i just replaced the unit itself it was easy enough.

I went on a few breaker yard sites and managed to get one for £12 delivered, Hold the door up, undo a couple of bolts change the unit and pop the door back on - piece of cake Took me and my mate about 15mins to do.

The pin inside the unit had sprung away from the cogs etc so you cant repair it

good luck
