Hello all,
I driving with the Renault Laguna II Grandtour (KG0/1_) 1.9 dCi (KG1V), 2006.year., 278 790 km run.

Few days ago I got call from the service that the automatic gearbox is completely dead. I do not want to buy new gearbox.

So I would like to ask you for your help to got answers on my questions.

1. Where I can find the gearbox code...

Since a few weeks a slight vibration when driving at speed.
I have checked the brake calipers and discs.
What I have found is that the part of the drive shaft that goes in to the differentia / gearbox (Jatco 6 speed auto 2008ym) have around 2mm of radial play.
Can this be the cause of the vibrations?
If so. Is there any good instructions on how...

Hi all,

I am struggling to find the correct tyre pressure for my Clio Campus (2006) 1.2 8V 60BHP . My tyres size is 175/65R14.

There is no label on the car. All websites where you put your reg provide the tyre pressure for different tyre sizes (175/60R14 or 185/60R14).

Any idea about how to get information about the correct tyre pressure?

At...

Hey guys.

I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment, my Kadjar started playing me up the other day so I paid £50 for a diagnosis and he's told me I need to find replacement fuel injectors, I need to get them within the next few days as I can't keep borrowing my wife's car. He's told me to only go for either Bosch or Delphi injectors.

I live in...

Hi Guys,
My key card has stopped working and I was wandering if you know anyone decent apart from the dealer that can provide a replacement key card? I'm in South Wales, close to Newport and I have a Megane 04 plate.
Thanks for your help

Is there any good reason there is no indication light on preheating on modern diesel engines?

Advice please

Heater blower only works on the full speed position. Other positions no action from the fan at all.

Anyone help please.

Quick update.

Having examined this further. With engine running I can see that the problem appears to be air being sucked into the system at the priming bulb, I can see air bubbles between the bulb and the filter and in the line from the filter to the engine.

Just ordered a replacement priming bulb off ebay, I will keep you advised of the...

Hi, another fault I forgot to add to my previous post is that the gearbox seems to be whining when acceleration and deceleration. The Car has around 100k on the tranny and hasn't been used for 3 years. Do u think the bearings are worn out? Gear changes slightly higher than I remember.

Not stuck in snow mode is it? In snow mode it doesn't use first gear which makes pulling away from standstill a tedious affair, obviously good for snow but not much good for anything else.

Looking for info on how to change timing belt.
Any tricks or things to watch out for?

Hi,
I am new to the forum.
We have a 2009 Grand Scenic 2.0 DCi auto. I asked our local Renault specialist to change the gearbox oil as the car has done 105,000 and while it drives very well, this is our first auto and I am used to servicing cars fairly regularly.
He said that Renault had told him that the box is sealed for life and advised him not...

I have recently purchased a 1.6 vvt auto scenic Privilege with running issues, the cause of which illuded most garages for some time for £50, 24hrs and £9 later ive fixed it but this is not the issue, it just makes me feel good to mention it :-D

I bought the car on sunday, my friend bought the car 18 months ish ago, the previous owners had the...

Hi folks.

I have noticed a large amount of water pooling in my rear footwells. Any suggestions as to what the cause is and how to solve it please. I drive a Megane CC (Hard top). Any suggestions would be greatly received as its getting crazy with all the rain, seams to be worse when the car is left stationary in rain.
Cheers.

Hi Everyone, I'm a new member, own a Renault Vel Satis Initialle 3.5 V6 petrol, trying to get a crankshaft sensor for it, been trying for 3 weeks, driving us mad, cant even get a secondhand one, Renault part no 7701068767, might just save my marriage as my wife uses it to go to work and back. Thank you Stuart

Hi All,
We have a 2009 Grand Scenic and Haynes don't do a workshop manual for it.
Could anyone direct me to a reasonably practical alternative that doesn't give you instructions to use specific Renault part numbers or tools?

Many Thanks.

Sounds like a sunroof leak. It might be worth sealing it up and drying the car out to see if it stays dry. Initially I would just tape or silicon over it, if that proves to be the source of the leak I would then look at new seals, drain tubes etc.

On 2 occasions lately my Scenic automatic seemed to be stuck in 1st. It wouldn't change up, was low on power and dash even showed 'Check gearbox'. Was well worried as auto boxes cost 25 billion pounds.
It wasn't the gearbox at all, it was the spark coils. Apparently they tend to go in pairs and though the engine sounds OK 1 or 2 cylinders aren't...

I have a 1996 1.8l Laguna RT. Recently it has started to pull to the left when the steering wheel is centred and I'm having to steer to the right to compensate. I had the cars tracking checked yesterday using 4 wheel Laser, yet it is all spot on. Tyre pressures are both fine and it has recently had a full service(3 weeks ago) and passed its MOT at...

Any help would be much appreciated

Has anyone run one with an LPG conversion kit?

I'm interested in what sort of MPG you get to see how this compares with a diesel.

Thanks

Hi all. My apologies if this has already been posted somewhere, did a search and can't find anything directly related.

I can't disable the immboliser on my car. I changed the batteries in the key fob thinking that was the problem but it wasn't. So, my question is, in simple girly terms, is there any way of sorting this problem without it costing...

Try a four wheel laser tracking at a proper tyre place? Have you had a look at the rear axle, it could be out.

Sounds like an earthing or fusebox problem to me. If you can't drive a multimeter, get yourself off to an electical specialist for a second opinion.

my advice would be take it inot a garage as soon as possible.
if it is a computer problem any diagnosis without looking at the car it self would be near impossible to get accurate.

answer to question 1;renaults timing belt intervals can be a bit on the extreme side but the belts do seem to last.although i've heard of a few going so to be sure if you couldnt find a cheap way of doing it i would have it changed at 36000miles.
2:does the central locking only do this when moving?removing the battery has probobly reset the...

G Man,
It would help us greatly if you advised what model/age Renault you have.
Some cars are cable throttle and some are 'fly-by-wire'. If the car is under warranty then get it off to the dealers. If its less than 3yrs old then if its electrical it will come up if you get the ecu fault codes read.

put my v reg lag in the dealers yesterday for an air con re-gas and bacteria treatmemt.After one and a half hours of waiting around i was told that they could not get the climate control panel to work,it was stuck in one mode!They knew it was ok when it went in,so after two hours i was given a nice little renault modus in return for my mobile...

Had to change a flat the other day and tried to winch down my spare. It got half way then jammed, to cut a long story short the steel wire is twisted beyond repair.The unit is easy to remove but not dismantle. Main dealer charging £180 for replacement.
Does anyone know of a resonable spares dealer.

Hi

Feel free to laugh :( but I have a problem that is totally my own making.

I changed the oil and filter on the van today and reversed off the ramps but stupidly left an axle stand up. Anyway the bottom line is it has pierced the gearbox housing somehow and Ive no gearbox oil left.

What I'd like to know is can it be repaired or do I need a new...

Hi All

My 1998 Grand Espace 2.2DT cambelt has broken. The AA guy said it has def snapped, and the engine was not showing signs of compression. (By using an ignition meter test). After a second opinion, the second AA guy wrote on my breakdown report 'Major Mechanical Failure' :cry:

Is my engine most likely blown in major way? or is there any...

Hi All.

I asked for, and received a lot of help regarding a Scenic's rear tyre wear and the loss of the wheel nut lock. As reported earlier I got a new lock key from Renault at a reasonable cost. I went and got two new rear tyres, fitted, same size as the worn ones 205 X 60/R 16. But now the car acts as if it had smaller wheels fitted! It go'es...

Whats the verdict on this?

Is there any other possible cause then bad turbo oil seals filling up the intercooler?

Hello to all,

we are replacing the steering lock module on a Megane.

When we took off the plastic covers to reveal the module , the torx bolt on the module is hand-loose. We know its a left-hand thread, but it will not either tighten or come loose.

Any fail-safe method for removing it ?

Thanks in advance

Hi All,
I hope someone can help me. I recently did an engine change on my sons 1998 Clio 1.2 RN Grande (1.2, 8V, D7F 720 engine) and yes, you guessed it, we have a part left over (Doh!). Would really appreciate if anyone could identify it (see picture attached). I think (from memory) it goes at the front of the engine and supports the lower...

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove to the clear plastic front of the cluster ? Better still, without having to remove the entire thing.

Hi guys, newbie here, and I hope you can help me.

We have a 2001 Clio Initiale owned since brand new - done 84,000miles - and since early December last year, it's been raining in and soaking the front carpets.

By parking facing downhill, we can keep the wetness at the front, but parking the other way round results in the rear carpets getting...

A friend rang me the other day. She has a 2005 Megane 1.4 and the brakes were worn. She brought it to a one man garage near her house and the mechanic diagnosed front discs and pads and rear pads. Total cost €350.00 about £300.00 because the brake discs are connected to the flywheel and it's a big job! I advised her to wait and rang the motor...
