    A friend of mine owns a 98 renault laguna. The haynes manual says that to change the brake fluid i need a special renault diagnostic tool. Is it not possible to use a pressure bleeder or more traditional methods, or do i need to go to the renault dealer?

  • Renault Koleos - How much more do we have to put up with 9 Jun 2012 (Forum)
    We bought the above car from new two years ago last feb, loved the car in March the big ends went in engine,it was under warrant Renault replaced the engine, then the turbo went less than a week later Renault replaced the turbo, then the turbo went again less than a week later,renault replaced the turbo again, then yes turbo went again, this time Renault replaced turbo again, much to our amazement, and something to do with the cat, and offered us £125 renault vouchers as a "gesture" which we were very disappointed at and didn't accept, and now, two weeks later, turbo has gone yet again so back to the garage it has gone, over the last 3 months we must have had the car for 3 weeks in total fumes and all- what can we do, have lost all faith in car, surely it must need another new engine, we are totally fed up and to be honest don't want the car back now- any one know what we can do if anything?
  • Why is the immobiliser preventing my granddaughter's Renault Clio from starting? 6 Jul 2010 (Ask HJ)
    My granddaughter's 1.2 Renault Clio fails to start at irregular intervals. The immobiliser light flashes and sometimes stays fully on. This can last up...
  • Renault - Should I trust Renault? 21 Jul 2024 (Forum)
    The garage is mucking us around but that's probably just our garage My question is has any one else experienced this with a Renault? Is it a common problem and therefore should I look elsewhere next time We do tow a small caravan but that shouldn't be a problem Any thoughts gratefully received Thanks
  • Renault Austral - First Impressions 12 Aug 2023 (Forum)
    This one, to give it its full name is a Renault Austral E-Tech Iconic Esprit Alpine. So far, it’s quiet and comfortable, has 200ps and is doing c50mpg with a mixture of motorway and extra urban driving. It’s continuing Renault’s adoption of Android Automotive, so you just treat the centre screen as s tablet and give it voice commands after saying ‘Hey, Google’.
  • Renault Symbol 1.6 L - Renault Symbol 1.6 not cranking when hot 15 Jul 2017 (Forum)
    My daughter has a Nissan Platina (Renault Symbol in disguise) with a 1.6L engine. It's an automatic. The problem is that it will not crank at all when hot, starts up perfectly when cold or cool and can be driven all day long.

  • Renault Clio 3dr – 2010 - Looking to buy Renault Clio 3dr – 2010 16 Feb 2016 (Forum)
    First post, so hi all :) I am looking to buy my first car and I’ve settled on Renault Clio 3 door 2010 model. As far as I’m aware it’s best to buy early April, as the reg plates are getting changed. I am looking to buy from a dealer, not private, because it is likely that I will need to use a credit card.
  • Renault Clio 1.4 - Advice on a Renault Clio problem? 23 Nov 2012 (Forum)
    Hi all, My first post here so be gentle :-) Ok, so my problem is with a renault clio (06 plate). I've had a small issue whereby it stalls when it's idling (only when it's cold), but as soon as its warmed up a little its fine. Then last week the clutch began to slip a little but not all the time.

  • Renault Megane - Cam belt incorrectly fitted 19 May 2011 (Forum)
    Hello. I have recently bought a 2000 Renault megane 1.4 16v. I was told when I bought it that the cambelt had been replaced recently by an independant garage. I do not have the receipt, but was assured that it had been done. As the engine was running rough, I took it to a local renault specialist, who checked the cam timing.
  • Renault Cleo CDi (2002) - Renault Cleo CDi losing power 2 Jun 2010 (Forum)
    I have a 2002 Renault Cleo CDi which has developed an intermittent loss of power. I might be cruising along quite happily when suddenly the power drops. If I change down a gear the power will return followed by a white puff of smoke from the exhaust.
  • Renault Laguna tourer 2.0 Dci 150 - Renault Laguna..did they ever get it right? 20 Feb 2010 (Forum)
    That seems like a lot of car for the money. I was wondering if the backroomers had an opinion on whether Renault ever truly got the Laguna sorted out by the 2006 facelift. HJ's car by car certainly seems to suggest this, or are they still moneypits to be avoided at all costs? thanks in advance......
  • Renault - Mascott 2001 2.9 Would an Iveco rear axle fit? 11 Oct 2009 (Forum)

    Since then we have taken the car to a Renault dealership and had diagnosis and found it to be the turbo and intercooler. We were quoted £2000 for parts and labour. We are waiting to hear from Renault Customer Service to see what assistance they can give.
  • Renault Clio - What is a coil? 16 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    Dear all, I have a 3 year old Renault Clio 1.4i dynamique+ (new shape) which has just decided to play a practical joke on me in that it has broken down 15 days out of warranty. Renault garage say that one of the four coils in my engine was at fault and that all four had to be consequently replaced at a total cost of £200.00.
  • Renault / Dacia Logan 29 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    Just been reading Autocar magazine dated 28th Sept and the interesting article on the Renault Logan. It made mw wonder how they can produce this car for so little - about £3500 although closer to £5000 apparently for Western European markets. The write-up is positive about the car, this is not something lashed up from dated technology but utilises some of Renault's current engineering such as engines and chassis.
  • Renault defeated in small claims court 11 Dec 2001 (Forum)
    The air distribution dial on my Renault Clio 1.2RN seized at 17,400 miles when the car was two-and-a-half years old. There was no warranty cover and Renault UK would pay only 75% of the repairs leaving me with a bill for £120 for a new heater box (total cost £480).
