• Renault Megane 2 litre 2004 - Noise when starting engine 6 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  Need some advice, I have a Renault Megane 2 litre petrol, 2004, 52,000 miles. Over the past two weeks I have notice a noise coming from the engine when starting my car in the mornings. After driving for a while it disappears. The noise is fairly hard to describe, its a squeak/whirring noise which happens every two seconds, as mentioned it will continue to happen until the car is driven for a little while.
• Renault Modus (2004 - ) - 05 1.5 "Change Oil" message 1 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  But according to the service record, the previous owner only had the car serviced (including oil and ALL filters) at a Renault dealer's in February, and 7,500 miles ago. No doubt I'll get the oil changed anyway just to be sure, but I was wondering: Does this engine employ some kind of optical translucency (or other) sensing, to determine when the oil needs changing?
• Renault Zoe name causes uproar. 30 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  I'm pretty flummoxed by this one..... From Autocar... "Renault's decision to call its electric supermini Zoe has caused uproar in France. "Press reports suggest parents of children named Zoe are reported to have flooded the company with complaints and launched online petitions demanding the name be changed."
• Renault Laguna (1994 - 2001) - 99 1.9 clutch problems 30 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  i took it to my local garage and they told me that it needs a new clutch cable. however, this was replaced 2 months ago. the garage then told me that oem cables dont last and i need a genuine one from renault. is this correct or could it be other problems. also if a pull the clutch lever back in to place the pedal returns to its normal position and i can use the clutch a few times before it hits the floor again.
• Renault - 92 2.1 New radiator is smaller - will it be okay ? 11 May 2009 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a Renault Trafic 2.1 diesel Motorhome and the radiator has sprung a leak !!! I have bought a replacement radiator - but the core depth is thinner than my existing one. The original radiator is 480 width 400 height and 45 depth - but the new one is 30mm depth.
• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 2001 1.4 Auxillary belt v Cam belt 27 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  My petrol clio Alize (90+k miles) has just started making a high pitch noise (like an aircraft getting ready for take off) - noticable becuase I do a lot of local driving!. I took it into Renault today and on popping the hood they said it sounded like the auxillary belt but it may be the cam belt and quoted from £150 - £500! The service manager was quite blase about it like I had a spare £500!
• Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - 05 1.6 instrument panel wrong mileage 26 Feb 2009 (Forum)

• Renault Scenic (1996 - 1998) - 1998 1.9DTi - Heater poor performance 8 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  The heater on my 1998 Renault Scenic 1.9 DTi diesel (with aircon) has never been very good in my 6 months of ownership, but this cold weather really shows up the problem. The heater matrix is not leaking, the coolant level is constant but even on a long run in this freezing weather the heat output is only luke warm, moving the heater control from hot to cold does make the output colder but on max heat it is pathetic.
• Renault Modus (2004 - ) - 04 1.5 Environment filter 12 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  My wife has a Modus and the day after getting an MOT teh engine management system light came on and we have established its something to do with an environment filter. The car runs fine but a local mechanic (not authorised Renault dealership) has told us it needs a new filter that will cost £169. The car is 4 years old and has done about 60k miles. It the DCi diesel model. Has anyone else had this problem and does £169 seem reasonable if you have had one replaced?
• Renault - Trafic 1984 1.6 charge warning light 18 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  My son has been given a motor caravan based on a 1984 Renault Trafic petrol chassis. Despite looking rather tatty, it's actually in quite good condition having done less than 90000 miles from new. When I took it out on a test run, I noticed that the alternator/charge warning light comes on dimly and that turning on something which pulls a lot of current (heater blower, headlights) causes the light to go out.
• Dacia-Renault Logan (2004 - ) - Logan ever coming to UK? 9 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  I have heard for several years now that Renault plan to launch the Dacia Logan in the UK at some stage, but never been able to pin down a date. I'm very interested in getting one of the 7-seat estate models which are now available on the continent, but despite extensive googling I can't find any information as to whether this model will ever come to the UK.
• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 02 1.2 acceleration 27 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  I have a renault clio on a '02 plate, and until recently it was running perfect. Just lately, while out drivng, it loses all acceleration but the engine keeps turning. If I leave it for a little while, it is fine and of I drive.
• Renault Megane CC (2003 - 2010) - Cat. D write off value of a 05 1.6 VVT petrol auto 5 May 2008 (Forum)
  Hi all, Last year June i bought a Renault Megane 1.6 VVT Dynamique Automatic (petrol). It was previously a Cat D write off however it has been perfectly repaired and has an engineers report. Done approx 33000 miles. Runs beautifully and never had any problems.
• Renault Clio III (2005 - 2009) - 04 2.0l 182 Cam Belt Change 18 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  for costs regarding the Timing Belt and Accessory Belt to be fitted to your 182 and have been quoted All In £700.00, then there is you 10% discount which will then bring the total to £630.00.' My BIL has sent me an email from his local Renault dealer (I quote above). Is this really a realistic cost? About twice the cost of similar work on the Passat diesel. And I thought that was expensive!
• Vote now - Big old Volvo vs Small new Renault 11 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  5th gear has an interesting crash test tonight, surprised if it's type hasn't been done before? A Volvo 940 and a Renault Modus in an offset frontal crash at 40mph. My money's on the Volvo physically holding up well but something nasty in the cabin harming the driver. Not sure that offset tests were really in when the 940 was designed so perhaps the test criteria is different?
• Posh Renaults 9 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  When in France a month or two back, I saw lots of the new look (well they're new to me anyway) Renaults. Meganes of course and the occasional Scenic or Espace. ... and those with strange names ... is it Avantime and Vel Sartis? Well it's something like that anyway. The thing is, I've never managed to see an Avantime and Vel Sartis together, side by side.
• Renault Espace Tailgate Window 31 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Anyone got any ideas about what to try next? If it works you can have half of the labour charge a Renault dealer would have fleeced me for (about three million quid at today\'s rates) without any guarantee of success!
• Renault Clio - Lack of passenger space 26 May 2002 (Forum)
  However, I'm used to sitting in the back of a mark 2 Polo and Peugeot 106, both of which seem miles more spacious. Time Renault improved it's act! Rob E
• Renault Clio Heaters 6 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Hi I have a 1994 Renault Clio RT and have been experiencing a few problems with the heaters. Whenever the heater is put to "hot" it will only blow luke warm air out of the vents - no matter how hot the engine is. The pipes going into the heater are hot and I have flushed the system out and replaced the coolant, but to no avail.
