Hi and welcome - we really need the fault codes. The warnings do not provide a definitive reason - only that the Airbag ECU has detected a fault on the self-check. You need to have it read with Lexia / Diagbox and put up the fault codes along with your VIN here for assistance.

Well, she bit the bullet and got the replacement head fitted.

Have been given a Megane Scenic, 4 speed auto and guessing its a 2 litre?

Anyway, when it tries to change into 2nd, the little heartbeat light comes on (guessing its a 'check engine' light) and it goes into 3rd hold.
It will also do this if you shift lever to 1st without even moving.

Any ideas?

Last post

The heartbeat light as you say is the automatic transmission incident warning light. The only way of pinpointing the problem is a connection to diagnostics.

The 4 speed auto was also available with the 1.6 petrol as well.

Every time I do one of these, the triangle warning light comes on.Clearing the faults on the Technomotor or the Clip always cures it, cant understand why Renault couldnt sort the fault (and still charged ). Disconnecting the battery is often a good emergency plan, I am sure you wont get the problem again .

Laguna II tailgate won't open

by bxzx16v » 30 May 2011, 20:48

First post

Got an intermittent problem on my wifes laguna II estate were the tailgate won't open or the glass window section either , tried taking the button out and cleaning it up but no luck , the contacts do look quite corroded though , when the car is locked you can hear a high pitched beep from the nearside rear area where the alarm box is located then...

Last post

Got to the bottom of the tailgate refusing to open , it was down to a dodgy boot catch which was very damp and the solenoid in the latch past it's best . Ordered one today from the dealer so this should cure it when fitted , I'll post progress as & when

Anybody see this in the news?

Ok so it's probably a bit too tongue in cheek for this forum but I thought I might share.

Some Parisenne lass has taken Renault to court over the name of their new electric car! She seems pretty daft really, but it's quite a funny case :)

Last post

It happened when they brought out the Mégane as well. Loads of jumped up French women called Mégane Renault with far too much money did the same back then. It's nothing compared to how badly Renault went wrong with calling their SUV the Koleos. Go to Google Translate, choose the language as Greek to English and type in Koleos as the Greek. Yes......

Trafic forum?

by Malcolm » 03 Jan 2012, 18:37

First post

Hi,

been a Xantia owner and forum member for 9 years. Just got an 08 Trafic and this been a 'French Car' forum was wondering if anyone knows if the Trafic was covered on any other forums or being a commercial vehicle are just main dealer repaired?

Last post

really want to have an enthusiastic Trafic content here on French Car Forum. There is a 'van' section on a RenualtForums site with some threads, but put your questions and findings here on French Car Forum - building blocks. As you say, they are becoming popular private vehicles.

Hi, i've just tried the button on the centre console and it only unlocks the rear passenger door, driver's side rear door still doesn't open, the only noise coming from the doors is the central locking being activated/deactivated, at a loss as to what it can be

1998 Renault Diesel Megane IR Key FOb immobiliser

by billysmart » 09 Apr 2008, 17:32

First post

I have a question and some information for others. My first key fob for my 1998 Renault Megane diesel is not working and the second is slowly committing suicide and taking many presses to work and deactivate the immobiliser due to flat batteries. The batteries needed are two CR2016 Maxwell 3V batteries.

I know I can test to see if the signal is...

Last post

Something I have done with another key fob is to pry out the PCB (printed circuit board), remove the batteries and any plastic housing and put it in the oven on 200 degrees centigrade for 10 minutes. Any dry joints on the PCB will be melted and reset. On one key fob, I found I had to do this about once every 6 months so I guess the solder was just...

Clio diesel clutch

by wornelly » 10 Dec 2011, 22:28

First post

Hi, i'm considering buying a clio 1.5 dci, but when I had a test drive the other day I found that the clutch was extremely heavy for a small car, so my question is is this a common problem and can anything be done to solve it or make it lighter many thanks in advance :)

Last post

I was driving a 2002 1.2 clio the other day, the clutch was very heavy. I then got into another 2002 1.2 Clio which had the same weight clutch. I got used to it after a while but its often a sign of a worn/aged clutch.

1.2 Clio Headgasket & Oil Consumption

by Citroenmad » 19 Dec 2011, 18:37

First post

There are two 1.2 8v Clio Authentiques I kind of look after for two girls at work, if I didnt they wouldnt ever get an oil check etc. Both Clios are 2002 plates.

One of them seems to have a problem with consuming oil. I serviced it about 3 months ago with the correct grade and high quality oil. I checked it over today to find the oil level now...

Last post

Good luck, hope it cures the problem!

You're right about the neck of the filler cap. I really doubt the area gets touched by the oil which will naturally end up in that kind of build up.

And the steering wheel... It's HUGE! It really spoils the feel of driving the car which is a shame. That was the thing I hated most about the Clio.

Also I hope...

I don't think so.

I bought a kit of Ebay and fitted them, quite easy, just a little bit of cutting of the door panel if I remember rightly, a lot better now for controlling the passenger side without having to lean over.

Trafic Steering Rack

by skes » 07 Mar 2006, 20:45

First post

Hi All

Got a bit of play (so the tester says) on the inner balljoint of my power steering rack, anyone know if they are adjustable, or even if these joints are interchangable with the normal rack (I have a spare)

Cheers skes

Last post

To answer my own question, I bought a replacement Track rod for about £12.00.
Just need some big grips to get the old one undone, I took off the rack and put it in the vice, They just screw off but are held on by a jagged washer that allows it to tighten but not undo so give it some stick.

hi,
I have this morning had to charge the battery on the mrs scenic 1.6 fidji petrol 03 plate.........didn't realise until I put the battery back that the radio is coded. does anyone know how I can obtain the code for the radio? Thanks for any help.....................dean......... :(

If you have the service history book, it;s on a sticker inside the front cover.

If not, a Renault dealer will give it to you. They usually charge but I'm quite pally with mine as it's my second home :)

....because nicer examples are selling for less! It's a common car so for it to sell it must be either a special model or cheap. Yours is neither! Reduce it to £500 and it will sell quickly. Look at these -
