• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 03 1.5 no power on start for 30 secs & fuel econom 8 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Also the fuel economy has gone to pot, it was doing 60 ish to the gallon and now it's only doing 45 ish to the gallon. Any ideas would be great. Don't want to take it to renault as it will no doubt cost a fortune and I've already spent a lot of money on it.
• Renault Espace (2002 - ) - 03 2.2DCi Excessive blue smoke 24 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Hi, My Renault 2.2DCi started smoking excessively as well as having a lack of power. Coupled to that each time you out your foot down hard the Injection system light would come on, if you turned the engine off took out the card it would reset itself ??
• Renault - Master - 96 2.5 too much oil- no engine start 23 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Dear All, recently I put too much oil in the engine of my Renault Master 1996, 2.5 diesel minibus (110,000 miles). At the MOT check when at high revs the van started chucking out black smoke, when the tester turned off the ignition, the engine still ran. Looks like oil got sucked up into the fuel system.
• Renault Clio 1 Petrol (1991 - 1998) - 93 1.2 Won't start from cold 26 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Hi there, I have an L Reg Renault Clio Oasis, which has recently developed a problem starting from cold. The engine turns over fine, but it just won't start. In order to get it to eventually start, I have to keep the key turned and put my foot flat on the accelerator.
• Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - 04 1.9 grand scenic dodgy instrument panel 9 May 2009 (Forum)
  Dealer has tken a look and there is a fault in the panel which means the whole dash needs replacing at a cost of £466. the car is just under 4 years old with 72K on clock. I moaned a bit and got a call from renault customer service offring to pay 25%. Interesting he admitted its not a wear and tear item but then said it was only 25% because of the mileage. Should I just accept the 35% or could I get more (I really feel like taking them to small calims court under sales of goods act).
• Renault Clio 1 Petrol (1991 - 1998) - 96 1.8 Remote fob disaster 6 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Today an RAC man told her that the car had a Toad aftermarket remote/alarm on top of its own immobiliser; that Toad alarms are 'a nightmare'; that when anything goes wrong with them they arm the factory immobiliser; and that the latter takes 'three computers' to reset and can only be dealt with by Renault who will charge £300. Apart from confirming my view that remote key fobs containing a battery are stupid fussy unnecessary things guaranteed to be a PITA sooner or later, these events have immobilised my daughter.
• Renault Espace (2002 - ) - 2005 3.5 Flat battery 2 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I've had my 2005, 55 , Renault Espace for 9 months or so. I cycle to work, so it seldom gets used apart from @ holidays and if we go out in at the weekends. These last few weeks been cold & icy so not been out in it much at all.

• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 04 1.216v - exhaust gas monitor warning 29 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  If it was an older Ford I would instantly start looking at the EVAP valve, lamdba sensor or cat but I don't know anything about modern Renaults. Is there any onscreen diagnostics I can access to try and get a specific fault code? The car seems to be running ok so I am suspecting something simple like a Lamdba sensor but we all know a dealer would charge silly money for this
• Renault Clio 1 Diesel (1991 - 1998) - 94 1.6 Central locking / key problems 14 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  I have to check the car on way to work and way home from work to make sure that it is locked (more often than not it is open and I have to manually lock the door) The central locking works manually - so if I lock the drivers door the other doors lock but I am not sure if the problem is because someone else in my street has the same code, but it has happened elsewhere so I assume the central locking is broken and just unlocks at random What can I do!? Also I need another key - can I only get this from a Renault dealer and I assume this will be expensive? Car only cheap!
• Renault Laguna II (2001 - 2007) - 2003 1.8 Trip computer won't show miles 29 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  (No problem) However the digital odometer and trip computer will now only indicate metric units, so my 110,000 mile car now has 177,000km, my economy is measured in litres per hundred km etc. Does anyone know if it can be reset without resort to a Renault dealer ? Also I have noticed that the rev counter is now reading high. Before at 70mph it would show less than 3000 rpm, now it shows nearer to 4000. I know it's the rev counter that's faulty as before the car would only reluctantly accelerate to the red line, now you can take it to the end of the clock and still be accelerating.
• Renault Laguna II (2001 - 2007) - Sat Nav 13 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Unfortunately on purchase the sat-nav disc was missing and i thought it would be an easy task to buy one to go in the car. However, having been firstly to a local main dealer and then to Renault UK themselves i'm still waiting for a reply on the correct disc of the many available. With any of the discs they've supplied i get an error message of "disc read eror- insert original map dvd rom".
• Renault Espace (1985 - 1997) - 1995 TD heater blower motor problem 5 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  How do I check, and if necessary change the heater or heater fan motor on my 95/M Renault Espace? The heater does not seem to work, (no life at all, apart from, when selecting the heating positions this seems to activate some sort of response, a whirring sound for a few seconds? But no heat, as far as I can make out, and no blower whatsoever in any position!

• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 00 172 Engine starts, then dies. 14 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  I've just bought a 2nd hand Renault Clio 172, 2000 W reg, with 60,000 miles. When I start the car, the ignition catches, the engine fires, and then it dies. Once this has happened it often then won't even turn over for a couple of minutes.
• Renault Selections PCP 27 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  I have been looking into trading my Scenic in for a new model, (6 months old used model) however conventional finance is too dear for me just now. Dealer is trying to push me onto Selections saying that there are sweetners from renault and giving me the usual sales pitch. I must admit it sounds good but a couple of things make me wary 1. I would be getting a brand new car which I have always vowed not to do as I would suffer the depreciation, whereas I have seen 6 month old versions for £3000 less. 2.
• Faulty fuel computer in my Renault 19 18 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  I have a 1989 Renault 19 with a 1.7 litre, carb engine, which is in very good condition overall, fully loaded with nearly 83k on the clock. Among the various electronic bits is a fuel computer that was an option when new (it includes a trip function and a digital fuel gauge).
