My daughter had a problem with her Clio two months ago when the driver side seat mounted side airbag deployed for no reason. Fortunately she was just setting off so was not driving at any speed but she was pretty shocked by it. Renault are not accepting anyliability for the problem and are insistaing that there has been an impact that has caused...

The key for my kangoo is falling apart. Anyone know if the bits are available separately? Dealer says I have to have a whole new key @ £70. I can get all the parts for my Citroen key separately so can I do the same for the Renault?

I own a 53 plate Renault Laguna 1.9d. The speed I drive determines the effectiveness of the air con. How can I solve this? Is it just a case of getting the gas topped up?

Anything under around 65mph is fine. Anywhere between here and 75mph it seems to become ineffective. The blowers still pump the air in at the same rate and the air con seems to...

I have a Clio 1.2 RN 5 door 1999 Mk2...

Both rear doors locked shut and once I eventually got them open both rear door lock mechanisms are damaged inside, beyond repair...

I have tried to find replacement ones but no luck... My questions are:

1. Are the rear door mechanisms the same for the back as they are for the front?? (I have found some...

That's what is needed but I have neither a part number nor a source for it. I understand that it is a part common to most Bosch injection pumps. Can anybody help with either a number or a source for it, please?

I've just bought a Secnic 1.9 dCi with 44k on the clock. What's the cambelt change interval on these engines, please? I've heard it's 45k but this seems quite short to me.
Any advice gratefully received.

I have a 54 reg 1.2 Dynamique Clio and recently there has been a smell like rotten eggs coming through the air vents when I start up the engine, then after about 30 secs the smell goes away.

Can anyone help?

My newly-purchased 2001 Scenic 1.9 dCi Sport Alize blew all its instruments, climate control and brake lights the first time I drove it. When I checked, the fuse that protected all three had been replaced with a paperclip by a previous owner (!), and this had blown. I replaced this with a new fuse, and the car drove for a while before the fuse...

hi, just a quick question. i just had a new turbo fitted on my laguna and im having bit of a dispute with the garage. the guy in the garage says its needed a 10 mile run in, which is why he took it home with him and used it to run his kids about in. normally this wouldnt bother me that much, but my car got keyed whilst it was parked outside his...

Hi there, both cables have broken on electric front window regulators a common fault I believe have been offered a used pair complete for £80 but the motor is a 2 pin type. Can I change my 6 pin over? And would it be straight forward?

Any advice appreciated
Thanks

Has anyone attempted to fit renault standard equipment to another car without it?

Oh and hi by the way. Im a NUBY with lots of 1.9dci questions to come.

Hi everyone.. first time on the Renault Forum.. please be kind.

Hi

I recently brought my clio and was told by the private seller that the key, which he got imported from france does not work the central locking. I have tried the programming method 'press central locking button in car for 5 sec..' etc. and still does not work.

Is there any other method?

Hi,

Have a 55 Reg Scenic and my key/cardfob has been playing up recently (despite a change of battery). I know that there is a manual key within the fob, but I've no idea how (or rather where) to use it to open the car as there's no obvious keyholes. Pretty sure the dealer explained this when we bought it, but can't remember. so if someone could...

As the title if anyone has a wiring diagram for the 1.4 rt alize hatch yr 2000 could they post either link or email me a copy.

Many Thanks

I have a renault megan with 1.9L DTI engine, will b100 work good with it or will it destroy it?

Elad.

I need to drain the radiator on my 1998 Megane. There is a plastic undercover under the radiator I need to remove first. It's help on by some funny looking screws - the heads look like an aeroplane propeller with three spokes and a hole in the middle. How do I remove these? Is there a special tool for the job? Thanks.

HELP!

I was trying to change the brakes on my scenic but the person that put the wheels on last time must have done them up way too tight as I have snapped 2 of them on one side.

I did try drilling them out a bit but my bits are not that good and keep going blunt.

I can see from the back that the bolts go all the way through and I was thinking...

Hi,

The power steering on my 2001 1.2 16v Clio (98 to 01 model) has stopped working and the engine management light has come on.

I have checked the fluid and it is full (Very full, is this normal?).

Are there any obvious checks I should do before taking it in to the garage?

Thank you for any help or advice you can give.

Hey Guys-
I am hoping you can help me identify which year make and model of Renault this filter goes to? It dates 1969 on the filter but it's brand new in the Renault bag. Here are the pictures:

Thanks!

Any ideas or pointers?

Hi all,

trying to find out what could be wrong with my Dad's car, an '03 laguna Auto.

It's happened three times now, with varying symptoms.

The first and third time it has happened the box decided to down-change without need, the first time dropping 2 gears and the third time just 1 gear. (and wouldn't then change out of newly selected gear)...

Hi All.

I have a 1998 'S' Reg 2.2TD Grand Espace RXE, that has just failed its mot. :cry:
I am not bothered about most of the mechanical failures e.g. track rods end, drag links and a damaged rear spring, but she failed on excessive amounts of metered smoke.

The average reading was 4.04 1/m whereas it should have been under 3.0
Is there any...

Hi,

My cousin has a 2005 2.0 diesel Renault Scenic RX4 which is not running due to;

1. Immobiliser not turning off.

A few weeks ago when he returned to the car it refused to start(turned over ok). A few 'mehanics' have looked at it and have stated the immobiliser isn't switching off and enabling the fuel circuit. He has removed the...

Just wondered if anyone has ever had trouble with the management/glow plug light coming on at around 40/50mph on a Renault Scenic RX4 1.9dCI 2003 which seems to throw the car into a limp mode?
Took the car to the dealer but they couldnt pin it down to a single component fault!, the only fault stored in the ECU was for a speed sensor code which...

Hello everyone, just to introduce myself, I have a 2002 K4M 1.6 Kangoo Trekka 4x4, which I dearly love, but is not without her problems. I do all the work on her myself, which hasnt been anything other than discs and pads in the 83,000 miles I have done in her. Renault did the cam belt change though.

She had a new rear gearbox thing under...

Hi,
I am trying to find out it my V reg (2000) Renault Laguna Ibiza 1.9 TDi has a Lucas or a Bosch fuel/injector pump. My Haynes Manual is not very clear on this point, and I can't tell by looking at it.
May I assume it is direct injection and not indirect??? And is the fuel filter a heated one, it's got wires to it , but whether this wiring...

Got a 92 Clio RT the left hand electric window has stopped working, done various checks and the wiring diagram shows a shunt unit in the circuit.
Does anyone know where the shunt units are located (one for each window circuit), Haynes manual doesn't tell me.

Both my headlights are out on my 04 Laguna, side lights and main beam both work but the dipped headlamps on both sides don't. Anyone got any ideas as i find it unlikely that it would have blown both bulbs since its MOT in april ? :?

hi guys, first post so be nice :D

cheers for now

Howdie,

Where can we get a new wiper linkage without giving half a mortgage payment to the local dealer :o

Or is it worth risking a second hand one, one of the linkages has weakened, so I am reluctant to get a second user one, 'if' it is a common fault - have anyone else suffered from this.

:-)

what size is the right hand side differential oil seal and 0 ring?
its leaking like a good un

What I did notice is that the car runs a bit funny in that it is sort of sputtering...
