• Renault Scenic 1.5 Turbo Diesel - Renault Scenic Turbo Failure 15 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  My Son in Law had to pay the renault garage in the region of £300.00 for having stripped parts to obtain access to the turbo. I I am an experienced outboard motor engineer and have worked in a garage on cars many years ago.
• £72k Renault Megane? 5 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  No, that is not a typo, you can indeed spend £72k on a new Renault Megane!. Reading an article in October's issue of Car magazine, i came upon the 'Sports car of the year 2019' grand test. Included in this is the Megane, and i actually laughed out loud at the price.

• Renault Espace (2002 - ) - 04 2.2 acceleration probs again - sell? 15 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Hi guys, I have a 2004 2.2 diesel Renault Espace. A couple of years ago (just months out of warrantee) the turbo charger went. I had it replaced by an experienced Renault mechanic but NOT a dealership garage. However, I did opt for the more expensive Renault part rather than a cheaper 'copy' part.
• 2011 Renault Clio 3 40,000m - Silent front and rear windscreen washers 20 Jun 2022 (Forum)
    I wondered if anyone here has any ideas?   I can't find anything helpful on the Renault forum.  The pump was replaced in 2017, so it should be OK, as it's done few miles since then.
• Renault Zoe and Citroen - Expensive EV repairs 23 May 2021 (Forum)
  Eventually the owners withdrew their vehicles from the dealers and took them to an EV specialist in Cheltenham which I believe is Cleevely EVs and got them fixed for £1200. Renault commented that this was because second hand parts had been used to fix the refusal to charge overnight. I know where I would go in the same position!
• Renault Clio 1.2TCE - White smoke, sudden onset 22 Mar 2020 (Forum)
    Are these engines known for CHG failure or could it be something to do with the intercooled turbo?  Any Renault experts out there?  I would be grateful for opinions re diagnosis.  This engine seems to have been around in many different cars for a long time, but perhaps 80 - 100,000 miles is all one can hope for?

• Renault Kangoo Trekka 1.9D 4x4 - replace steering rack 23 Jun 2017 (Forum)
  Hi,  Pre MOT inspection reveals requirement to replace power steering rack, I will be tackling this myself with limited facilities and tooling, rent as required. can anyone tell me if the engine needs to be dropped on the rear subframe mounts to extract and insert rack? I can't find a Haynes manual, suspect another Renault model would be the same running gear, Megane?any other advice welcome. It's an old van and not really viable but has too much sentimental value for the kids not to give it a go, bought a rack, reconditioned bankrupt stock for 80 quid!

• Renault Avantime (2002 - 2003) - Am I Mad? 11 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  I currently drive a Honda Prelude VTEC that I?m very happy with but have just seen a Renault Avantime for sale in a local dealer. It?s the 2.0Litre turbo in the metallic blue / silver two tone paintwork, its only got 60,000 on the clock and all logic says it would be an absolutely stupid buy even if I could get it for £4000 ish as tax is likely in the £400 bracket, economy poor, handling mediocre and reliability worse?..

• Renault Megane (1999 - 2002) - 01 1.4 Lumpy Tickover 21 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Hi All, My vehicle has recently develped a lumpy tickover. Despite a full service by a local {not renault} reputable garage the problem still persists. The mechanic stated its probably one of the many onboard sensors but unsure which one. Hooked up to the computer reported ''no faults found''. Starting the engine at home from cold the engine misses slightly on the quarter mile steep incline.
