Engine cuts out

Postby xcz_megane » Fri May 02, 2008 1:43 pm

Hey guys
I have a 1.4 dynamique (2004), lately when i start it it starts fine but after about three or four seconds the revs drop and the engine cuts out. It doesnt happen every time but its still noticeable. Could this just be dodgy spark plugs? or something bigger? I have it booked in with the dealer on Wednesday though my warranty is up so im wondering what to expect! Also how much do Renault dealers roughly charge for things like oil changes and air filter changes?
thanks

There's been lots posted about cleaning the throttle body on 1.4's recently. Try seaching for the various threads.

Genuine Renault servicing is not cheap, if it's out of warranty a good independant garage would be a cheaper option.
Make improvements, not excuses!
