I can get it on the road without this fix, so if you know where to get them or...

Hi, I recently changed the timing belt on my 2.0 16v laguna 2006 and now when I accelerate I get a knocking noise when under load. If I build up the speed gently there is no noise and also no noise on tick over or revving when not under load. I disconnected the plug on the oil control valve for the dephaser pulley and tried again and no noise,...

Hello,

I'm having trouble with my old Renault Master (1987).
I need to change the inner tie rods.

Problem is, my steering rack needs a female joint like this one :

The official reference has a male end and so, it does not fit.
I have no idea why the steering rack was replaced with this model, neither which model it is exactly.

Either I find...

Is this a common problem, went to look at a car today and there was water in the boot.

Would it be the light seals? Not picking the car up til next week so wanted to speak to the dealer before then.

Thanks.

Connector 1

Connector 2 with the Red Plastic Tab

Key Message Leave the Red Plastic Tab Alone. It plays no part in undoing the connector, and it will break!

Since a few weeks a slight vibration when driving at speed.
I have checked the brake calipers and discs.
What I have found is that the part of the drive shaft that goes in to the differentia / gearbox (Jatco 6 speed auto 2008ym) have around 2mm of radial play.
Can this be the cause of the vibrations?
If so. Is there any good instructions on how...

I recently bought this car in Glasgow and drove it around 100 miles home to Belfast, seemingly without issue. Once very briefly I noticed a drop in power but this only lasted a couple of seconds and didn't come back so I thought little of it. I arranged an MOT and when I started the car that morning it behaved exactly as you would expect when...

Hi all,

I am struggling to find the correct tyre pressure for my Clio Campus (2006) 1.2 8V 60BHP . My tyres size is 175/65R14.

There is no label on the car. All websites where you put your reg provide the tyre pressure for different tyre sizes (175/60R14 or 185/60R14).

Any idea about how to get information about the correct tyre pressure?

Hey guys.

I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment, my Kadjar started playing me up the other day so I paid £50 for a diagnosis and he's told me I need to find replacement fuel injectors, I need to get them within the next few days as I can't keep borrowing my wife's car. He's told me to only go for either Bosch or Delphi injectors.

Quick update.

Having examined this further. With engine running I can see that the problem appears to be air being sucked into the system at the priming bulb, I can see air bubbles between the bulb and the filter and in the line from the filter to the engine.

Hi, another fault I forgot to add to my previous post is that the gearbox seems to be whining when acceleration and deceleration. The Car has around 100k on the tranny and hasn't been used for 3 years. Do u think the bearings are worn out? Gear changes slightly higher than I remember.

Not stuck in snow mode is it? In snow mode it doesn't use first gear which makes pulling away from standstill a tedious affair, obviously good for snow but not much good for anything else.

Looking for info on how to change timing belt.
Any tricks or things to watch out for?

Hi,
I am new to the forum.
We have a 2009 Grand Scenic 2.0 DCi auto. I asked our local Renault specialist to change the gearbox oil as the car has done 105,000 and while it drives very well, this is our first auto and I am used to servicing cars fairly regularly.
He said that Renault had told him that the box is sealed for life and advised him not...

Hi folks.

I have noticed a large amount of water pooling in my rear footwells. Any suggestions as to what the cause is and how to solve it please. I drive a Megane CC (Hard top). Any suggestions would be greatly received as its getting crazy with all the rain, seams to be worse when the car is left stationary in rain.
Cheers.

Hi Everyone, I'm a new member, own a Renault Vel Satis Initialle 3.5 V6 petrol, trying to get a crankshaft sensor for it, been trying for 3 weeks, driving us mad, cant even get a secondhand one, Renault part no 7701068767, might just save my marriage as my wife uses it to go to work and back. Thank you Stuart

Hi All,
We have a 2009 Grand Scenic and Haynes don't do a workshop manual for it.
Could anyone direct me to a reasonably practical alternative that doesn't give you instructions to use specific Renault part numbers or tools?

Many Thanks.

Sounds like a sunroof leak. It might be worth sealing it up and drying the car out to see if it stays dry. Initially I would just tape or silicon over it, if that proves to be the source of the leak I would then look at new seals, drain tubes etc.
