I wonder if anyone can provide me with any advice on what might be causing a loud tapping noise on my 2021 Renault Kadjar 1.3 petrol engine at tickover. This engine is fitted to many Renaults, Dacias, Nissans and Mercedes and seems to have a good reputation for reliability (apart for the plastic thermostate housing breaking/leaking). I have a...

Hi, I'm pretty familiar with the citroen/peugot software and have done various things with it without too many problems. But a Friend has asked if I can take a look at her Renault, think its a Capture diesel 2013 ish. They have said there is a fault with the DPF side of things.

Couple of questions, for the diagbox software I found a free version...

Hello,
on my 2011 Twingo 1.2 75 cv - Engine type CN01 (also known as 770 I believe) I found out that there is an electronic thermostat which opens mechanically at 108 C, and only in case of high load opens fully with an electrical impulse. The OE number is 8200400294 ( )

While on many other Twingo ( and Clios, Modus, ect..) with same engine 1.2...

I am disabled & have to carry 2 mobility scooters in car. I had a Citroen C4 Picasso, which had a huge boot & managed to accommodate them.
However, at 87, I found it a struggle to load/ unload them.
I came to the conclusion that the only answer was to buy a car converted to store a scooter, via a fitted loading ramp. I have just bought a Renault...

Hello there
I am a new driver and have recently purchased my first car. A 2007 Renault modus 1.6.
It's a bit of a project but has only 25000 miles on the clock and in excellent condition so well worth it.
One issue it does have is that the trim/seal on both sides of the windscreen is perished. Unfortunately I cannot source replacements anywhere....

Hi,

I am getting an intermittent dashboard warning 'Engine Failure Hazard' and the stop light. Car drives well. According to TOPDON diagnostics, the error code is 156013 (Oil pump solenoid valve Open circuit). Is the fault likely to be the valve or the sensor?. What's the recommended action.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if the bowden cable of the side door lock of a 2011 Kangoo can be replaced? I had a quick look inside the lock and it looked like it was bonded into the actuating arm but I've since seen the cable offered as a separate item. I'm just not sure if this will work for a 2011 or whether it was for a different version. It's not my van...

My brother in law in (82) managed to damage the outer frames on both wing mirrors reversing into the garage (at different times) and although you can get replacements for the 2 outer panels Renault informed me the frames are N/A and complete new mirrors were about £300 each ouch!. I went on eBay and got a new pair for a total of £164 and when they...

Hi All.

I recently bought a 2007 2.0d Espace to replace my 2.2d which slips its serpentine belt every few thousand miles or so.

Anyway, the 2.0 takes off like a rocket (perhaps a bit of an exaggeration) but the fuel economy is poor compared to the 2.2. I suspect the 2.0 has been fitted with a performance chip. It drives like many chipped cars...

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a 2005 Scenic II K4M 761 automatic. Long story short, my AC compressor suddenly failed while driving, making loud metallic noises. I pulled over immediately as I didn't want to risk the serpentine belt snapping and taking out the timing belt, so I got the car towed to a garage.

There we inspected both belts,...
