hi there

with the rough running sounds quite alot like coil failure- have you had this checked out?

[antipacker]

hi i have ordered 2 of the coils from ebay so gonna check them out

will let you no how i get on

[antipacker]

is there a safe way of checking each coil to find the broken one

thanks

Process of elemination.

Start with coil 1, swap out for new coil and test. If still happens move to coil 2, then 3, then 4. Once you have been through all coils it will prove one way or another if it is a coil issue.

also when the car is first started in the morning it rattles a bit but then goes ok?

anyone no of the reason for this one please

thanks in advance

Typical symptoms of dephaser pulley failure.

Rattle on cold start every morning, increased fuel consumption, decreased performance, rough running, engine dying for no reason etc.

It costs about 500 pounds for the whole job (new pulley, cam belt etc.), but if you have a low mileage Renault will pay some of the cost...

[antipacker]

mileage is 24000 miles it does not have any warranty, how do i go about getting renault to pay some for it.

3. Also under heavy braking there is a vibration sounds like rubbing on the front ?

4. And the drivers window goes down about 2 inches at a time on its own ( not very often )

hi

1. Can anyone tell me where the TDC sensor is on my 2004 1.6vvt megane dynamique please

it is right hand side of ther engine (when looking under bonnet) on top of the bell housing of the gearbox. it cannot be seen from the engine bay without a mirror. the haynes manual recommends removing the battery and battery tray to get better access to it, but i think it can be replaced without doing this, with a bit of fiddling about.

also got a problem with the air con when i switch it on it does not go cold also the compressor does not work

[antipacker]

anyone?

[Busy_Man]

Aircon compressor not kicking in is a sign the air con gas is either low or not present.

Kwik fit (among many others) do an aircon service for about £45 and have a promise to increase performance by 10% or your money back. It may be worth taking it in for an aircon service, as a regas and general once over may cure the problem.

Of course, it could be found the gas is leaking from somewhere, which could be any of the pipes or the compressor its self. No easy way to test without a service really, unless you are confident with working with aircon systems.

If it's newly purchased take it back under warranty to get it checked out.
