  I've got a 2004 Renault Scenic 1.4 Authentic that has a warm starting problem. It starts fine when cold, and also restarts fine when warm if restarted immediatley, but if the car has been left for anything more than about 15 minutes and you try to start it, it fires OK but then almost immediatley dies.
• Renault Laguna II (2001 - 2007) - 2001 1.9DCi Injection Problems 26 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  After driving for 20 mins or so, the "check Injection" display warning appears on the dashboard. I took it to the renault main agents, and they said it could have been one of 6 sensors, the car is currently having these sensors cleaned by my local mechanic. I don't have the list of sensors. I was just wondering if anyone knew of common faults or anyone had personally experienced these problems?

• Renault Megane II (2002 - 2008) - Facelift - Were any electrical components changed? 30 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  Does anyone know whether as part of the Renault Megane II's facelift in 2006 any electrical components were changed? i.e. can you now expect more reliability out of the model? I only ask as the new Clio seems to be quite reliable - I know of three people with one and none have had a problem, yet Megane's are renowned for trouble.

• Renault Megane II (2002 - 2008) - Airbag light 15 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  Hi Just wondering if anyone's got any advice regarding the airbag light on my Renault Megane. The dash is saying my airbag needs a "Service" with a warning light. Unfortunately the local dealer wants to charge £80 just to diagnose (not fix). I think this is outrageous but I think I'm going to have to stump up as my local guy who services my wife's car won't touch it.
• '97 Renault Megane Speedo not working 30 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Hello, I have a 97 P Reg Renault Megane. The speedo all of a sudden stopped working, its electronic. I had a good look around the engine compartment around the Gear box and noticed a broken sensor which I suspect is the speedo sensor..
• Renault Laguna dCi clutch sticking down 5 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Has anyone encountered this problem before and is replacing the master cylinder the only option? Car has ~80k on the clock. Renault are stumped.
• factory fitted immobilisers 26 May 2007 (Forum)
  Took it to a MAIN Renault dealer (thurs 17), they looked at it charged me £75, but failed to rectify it, as I found out over the weekend. A possible solution is a new box, currently unavailable even from Renault. if they don't manage to rectify, what chance of getting the costs reimbursed- then have it taken out and a NEW system installed - any recommendations
• Renault Scenic 1.9DCi (2002) 30 May 2006 (Forum)
  Today our Renault Scenic 1.9DCI (2001/2) developed a rattling noise on idle which disappears totally when the revs are increased. The car runs perfectly. The noise is coming from the area around the alternator where there is a large belt tensioner.
• Renault Clio S reg Cam Belt 3 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Just had a interesting experience of my cambelt failing on my trusty old Renault Clio. I know I should have had it changed I had done 80K but forgot... Anyway there are two question I would like to ask. 1) Since I was doing 70 at the time and ran for a couple of seconds in gear but engine not runing, what the likelyhood of damage to my engine.
• Renault Clio Exploding Airbag 21 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  It split the seat and pushed it back into the rear seat behind and cracked the seat belt buckle. Renault are being very obstinate despite the car being under warranty and will not do the work which has been estimated at approx. £1300. They maintain that my friend must have had an accident, which he did not.

• I gave in and sold the lemon! 13 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Traded it in for a 1.8 VVTi Corolla Verso. Lost quite a bit of money, but I could no longer face the prospect of fighting Renault UK Customer (abuse) Services and threw in the towel. The most amazing thing about the whole experience has been the incredible attitude of Renault CS, they seem not to care at all. I guess Renault is riding high with its huge profits, but I hope their attitude and poor quality control will come back to haunt them.
• French bred 3 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Particularly noticeable, and impressive, were the many Renault 4, 9 and 11s, some well over 20 years old, most battered and bruised but still up to the job (and with their current MoT equivalent certificates on the windscreen). Perhaps Renault made their cars simpler then and, QED, they were more reliable?
• high hc emissions? Renault 9 4 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  I have a Renault 9 (auto, 1988,1397cc)that has been lying on my driveway for the past 2 years. It passed the MOT first time in September 2001. Have have spent some time preparing it for another MOT. Last week it only failed on exhaust emissions: \"HC high\".
• Renault Radio 20 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  I have a 98 T Renault Laguna and I want to get a new stereo (CD player) for it, because the standard one is a bit naff, before I go shopping for one I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me. 1. The Laguna is fitted with a Radio contol thing, on the steering column, which means you never have to take your hands of the steering wheel to control it (I\'m sure you get the picture) and also the actual cd player doesn\'t have a display, it\'s on the top of the dash (like on vectra\'s).....Would stereos bought today be compatiable with these as I\'d like to keep these features. 2. reading through these forums, what does SWMBO mean????

  I am considering buying a 2015 Renault Trafic campervan but I am worried that the 155k mileage is too high. It has a full service history and in March...
• Renault clio - DPF cleaning during service 28 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  Just booked our 1.5 diesel clio in for a service, the car is on a 4 year service plan with Renault, during the phone call with the service department, I was offered a DPF cleaning service for a extra £20, at the time I said no, but thinking about it later, maybe I should have said yes, even though I can add this to the service.
