• Renault - Trafic 1995 2.1D - replacing a steering rack 28 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Am I allowed to ask about a van here? Just got a Renault Trafic, turns out the power steering rack is shot (seals are gone I guess, leaks fluid badly out of the gaters). I haven't replaced a steering rack before, it looks like it's pretty straightforward job but I don't have the workshop manual (which I would normally consult before starting a job I haven't done before).
• Renault Megane (1999 - 2002) - 01 1.6 auto - Starting Problem 5 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  My Renault Megane 2001 1.6 Fidgi Auto will often fail to start. On turning the key it behaves exactly as if I am trying to start it in gear, even though it is in PARK, namely, nothing happens. I then switch off and try again hoping that the system will reboot to allow the car to start.

• Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - 2004 1.4 Change oil and Service Indicator 23 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, wonder if anyone can offer some help. I have just bought a Renault Scenic 1.4 16v. The garage I have bought it from have told me they just need to remove the 'change oil and service' warnings! This did ring alarm bells with me but it was closing time and they assured me it has been serviced!
• Renault 5 (1996) radiator prob 23 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Recently my Renault 5 1996 Campus has started to have what I may be heating problems. The problem seems to be around the radiator overflow container. On journeys where I do not have to idle such as motorways, the car is fine.
• Renault online service booking 15 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  I know Renaults are much maligned in this forum, but how cool is their booking service? My Scenic II is heading for its 18K mile service in late August, and I know there is variation between garages as to cost.
• Renault Megane Purchase 30 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Tomorrow, weather permitting, I have been asked to view a Renault Megane by my young niece with a view to purchasing the car.. I'm afraid that I don't know anything at all about these cars, and have told her so. I can obviously make the usual checks that one would make before the purchase of any used car, but don't know anything specifically relating to these vehicles.

• changing a wheel bearing. Renault Megane 31 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, I recently had my rear wheel bearing changed on my Renault Megane 1.9 td. I discovered a squeek over the weekend so removed the wheels to add some grease, (which the garage didn\'t do). I\'m come up against a slight problem. When putting everything back together, I realised that I don\'t have a torque wrench to check the bearing bolt was set correctly.
• renault scenic missfiring 6 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  When it did finally start for several miles it missfired terably.Eventually it settled down, I have driven it for about 250 miles with several starts hot and cold without any further problems. Renault main dealer took a look at it today and found nothing wrong and as no warning measage or fault log recorded they could do no more.Now I have heard lots of stories of coil packs packing up and wondered if this could be one of these coil packs failing and would not necessarily show a fault on the vehicle log.I would be interested in any comments from any one with experiance in this area.
