I'm trying to help a friend with a poorly Clio (Mk3 1.5 DCi). Smell of diesel and combustion product in the cabin and around the engine, and sounds like a little steam train, so I took a look to find this:

From what I can gather injector seals are a common problem. Garage has tried to remove the injector without success, and has advised the...

just bought a Renault modus 2004 1.4. The wiper blades work but when turned off they stop in the vertical position, pointing straight up either side of the windscreen. The garage i bought it from said this was how they are supposed to be but I've seen plenty since and none were pointing straight up like these they were all laid horizontal like...

I have a 2009 Megane 3 1.5 Dynamique diesel. In the handbook and the sales brochure it says that I can connect a USB drive. I have found the connector with the 2jackplugs in front of the gear lever but although the handbook and radio book give info about the USB there is no info about where the connector is. Anyone have any ideas please?

I would need to exchange pump/selector valve assy which is dodgy. :evil:

Hi

If anyone has got any tips for this job, I would be grateful to know before I start.

Most important question: Is the bearing held in by a circlip, or does it have to be removed / replaced using a hydraulic press?

Thanks in advance

Hi

The hatchback / tailgate / bootlid, or whatever you want to call it, needs changing as it's bent.

There are a number of wires inside, for the wiper motor, heated screen and number plate lamps.

At the top, each side, the cables (in a black sleeve) go inside the car. Is there a plug behind the rear panels, or do I have to take all of the wires...

Hi

It has been quite a while since my last visit. The Dyane went off to a new home and I hadn't replaced it until recently.

Latest acquirement is a 1986 Renault 5 GTD.

Photos (if you really want, but it's not that exciting) when available.

It seems to have been looked after in its life, have done 700kms so far and all is well.

Needs one or...

This car still amazes me but has developed a couple of issues.

1, A creak from the left hand rear when going over speed bumps or uneven surfaces. It appears to be suspension related, I have sprayed WD40 on the bottom shocker bush to see if that will help. There doesn't seem to be any unnatural lean on the wheel so I assume the arm bearings are...

Had a quick search without success.
My wife has a 2007 1.2 petrol Clio campus sport. It has done less than 6000 miles but as it is coming up to six years old, will the next service be a cambelt change one? If so, can anyone give me a ball park figure for getting the job done? (probably not at a Renault main dealer, more than likely just a local...

I have an 03 Laguna 1.9DCI with the 6 speed gearbox. I am getting a whining noise when pulling off in 1st, when I move to second is disappears. Altho it sometimes is quite hard to get into second too. It has 109k miles on it. Anyone experienced this and know how to fix it?

Hi.
It would be very helpful if someone with access to Renault parts list tell me what type of Auxiliaries belt an F4R736 should have? 5PK1750?

Reason I ask are because our F4R700 engine shows un-normal wear on the edge of the oilsump that indicates that the Auxiliary belt, before failure have been running wrong way around the waterpump. Causing...

anyone know were i can get one as in title

Could someone tell me in what direction the crankshaft are running on an F4R engine?

The belt have come of our car for the third time. This time after just 10months. The polishing on the pulleys shows it's been going in the right grooves. But I've heard its possible to rout the belt on the wrong side of one of the pulleys, changing the angle in witch the tensioner works against the belt, giving it not enough momentum to...

Morning all,
Inlaws have decide its new car time and settled on a Captur, and as the Wife Killed her fiat last month, they have decided that We Need a second car and thus are Gifting the Modus to the good lady! iirc its a 54 plate 1.4 with the glass roof and Boot Chute,
So, being 10 years old, and a Renault, i kinda view it as a bit of a...

Hi,
When I had a 1999 Jaguar XK8 my £12.99 OBD2 scanner was amazing and worked perfectly. When I bought a Laguna the scanner was of little use so I stuck it on eBay.

My Mum has a 2004 Clio thats very judderly going up hills or in low revs. Being a lady in her 60's she took it to KwikFit and they had a look but said their kit couldnt pin point the...

Please help to locate the Turbo pressure Sensor for my Renualt Laguna serie 4-control 150CV/110kw sportour ESM.

Alright fellas, my 2005 Lagune DCi is really giving me the hump now and need some ideas! When plodding around town the car is well behaved up and down the box and does what its told with no issues. As soon as you pull onto a motorway or duel carriageway is goes into limp mode, pretty much within 100 meters of hitting 5th or 6th gear! Pull onto a...

Hello all, I have a Renault Scenic Dynamique 1.4 16v 2004 79k.
The power steering has stopped working completely. I have taken it in to the main dealer who resets the ecu , the power steering works fine for 50 yards or 2 miles then the steering randomly stops working again. The fault codes are df035 variable power steering and df002 ecu. The...

Hi,
I'm looking to replace my citroen xsara estate 2.0L HDI. Have been looking for a C5 but not much up here in central scotland.
I've just seen a 2004 Laguna estate 1.9DCI @ 66,000 but dont know anything about the reliability and running cost of the DCI engine. The HDI engine is one I know, should I consider the DCI or stick to what I know in...

Hi All,

I'm trying to find out which model of Renault 4 (or possibly 5, but I think 4 due to the exhaust layout) this inlet manifold is off. I need to find a decent carburettor for it. It's currently on a 1108cc engine.

We *think* it's from a 1983 R4 GTL - but the single choke Zeniths on those only have two fixing bolts, not the four that this...

Hello to all.

We are about to do the timing (full kit plus water-pump) on our Megane.

For our car, (2004 1.5dci estate 100cv) 2 kits are listed and the water-pump appears to be the difference.

We normally live over on the Citroen and Peugeot side where we can put our VIN into Servicebox and find the exact part ?

Does such a website exist for...

Hi guys my wipers, washers, headlight washers, cruise have all stopped working at same time, what is matter?
tearing my hair out !!

Hi All,

I've been asked to change the headlight bulb on my sister-in-law's 07 plate Scenic...

Is it a bumper off job? I haven't had a chance to look, this is tomorrow afternoon's task....

I suspect it's not going to be as straightforward as reaching behind the headlight and removing the bulb, is it?

Hi folks I bought a 53 Laguna 1.9 Dci INITIALE Tourer

ok,
after a long battle I managed to get the clip on(easy bit) and then wind the cable round the spool and put it back in place(hard bit)......the window now works,the only problem I have is that every so often the spool comes away from the regulator and stops working,I just push it back on and it's ok again.I have a feeling that there should be...

I'm hoping someone can offer me some help/advice...my 2005 1.9dci scenic has been with the auto-electrician for 5 months! It originally had an intermitent non-start issue, with the message 'low battery' being displayed. Months later & after lots of investigating & different parts, which made no difference, it was concluded that the ECU needed...

Renault Clio fog light indicator comes on when braking is a common problem. Solutions on the internet forums, work for some, but for others the problem persists, and many threads in the more challenging cases peter out without resolution.

My daughters 54 reg Clio 1.2 started off with this problem, which has subsequently developed into the rear...

My daughter's Clio was SORNed for about 9 months & we have just got it back on the road, passed MOT with no problems. However the clutch is slipping in wet conditions. I can't see any problems with the cable. Is this likely to be something to do with being laid up for all that time or just a worn out clutch?

hi,
ok,posting this in citroen as well as renault cos response is always good in citroen.......got a scenic and the passenger window doesn't work.I took the regulator out and the clip was broken.got a new clip and struggled for about 5 weeks whenever I had time, to try and get it back together...anyway, I have managed to do it this morning but...

hi,
is there a list anywhere with people and locations that have the renault clip software like the citroen page has with lexias?? thanks..................

My MOT tester advised me to replace the headlamps on my 1989 series 1 R19TSE before the next test but the studs holding them in are turning inside the plastic headlamp backing when I use a 10mm socket on the nut.
The existing headlamps would probably be OK if I could remove the glass lenses and use a silver cloth to remove the tarnishing on the...

Our new Scenic with 114k miles on clock is now intermitantly refusing to start.
It Cranks well, and if its left it coughs but doesn't catch.

I towed it about 2 miles in to local Garage, when I got there it fired up first time!

I left it with them as it now had an engine light on, and they of course ran it through the diagnostics and then...

Well, due to an inlet-side leak causing a misfire on anything other than full throttle, I've got to fit a new inlet and exhaust manifold gasket to the R4 motor in the DRK.

It looks like both inlet and exhaust have to come off as some of the studs hold both on - can anyone confirm this?

Is there *anything* I can do to lessen the risk of the studs...

Hi Folks,

I wonder if you good folk could help me at all, I have a 52 plate Master 2.2dci which has developed a fault with the wipers, they no longer park as they should, the intermittent selection doesn't work and also when you flick the washers on the wipers don't automatically wipe anymore. I've changed the wiper motor which hasn't made a...

Hi,

On the three occasions my DPF has blocked and the engine warning light come on has been after Motorway drives in 6th gear. This may be a coincidence as obviously these are not the only times I've been on the motorway in 6th. However I don't do much motorway driving, many Welsh windy roads.

The local garages that have sorted me out each time...

At least whichever police drives these will have a great time working.

From article:
These might not be as amazing as the supercars in Dubai’s police force, but at least Madrid officers will use them for actual police work. Besides the usual police livery and mandatory equipment, the two cars have also been fitted with Kevlar-made front...

Hello to all.

We have the dreaded Megane Injection pump disintegration and are about to replace pump, common rail , filter , injectors and flush out tank and lines.

As far as the injectors are concerned, we see injector nozzles for sale on ebay. Could we get away with just changing the nozzles on our injectors instead of buying 4 and has anyone...

Hi, i have a 2002 2.2 dci renault master. In the past couple of weeks i changed the fuel filter and found the clear fuel pipe has some air in it when left to stand for a few hours, not an issue apparently. A couple of days after changing the filter though it became really difficult to start once warm, ages cranking over before finally catching and...

Hi there.
I recently bought a Master 2.2dci on an '02 plate. It's an ex British Gas van and has covered just over 100k.
The van was absolutely fine but i had no record of the cambelt being done, so out of caution, i had it done at a local garage. And thats where the problems started!
Not long after, the van became very slow starting in the morning...

Does anyone know where ill find the fuse for the electronic handbrake,iv had the car plugged in at my local garage and they brought up missing power supply.
