Forum maintenance Thursday 18/10/2017 -Completed

by xantia_v6 » 18 Oct 2017, 19:09 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Following our recent technical issues, the forum is moving to a new VPS server. The software has been installed and (subject to a little more testing) is ready to go.

To move the site it needs to be taken off-line for a period of 1 - 2 hours, to allow a backup and restore cycle and to allow the updated DNS record to propagate.

Last post

The Forum does appear to be running much better now.

Perhaps it might be a good time to remind people that this forum is funded by sticker sales and donations, and the move to a new server might be a good excuse to exercise the buttons in the forum header. :wink:

Good idea :)

For the record, sticker orders come through to me and I always try...

FCF LDS Fluid Discount

When researching some LDS Fluid suppliers, I looked into one retailer Nielson CDG that Elis (EDC5) referred to me for comment. On looking at their description of the LDS, they were referring to Citroen as having 'Hydrolastic' suspension etc. - needless to say, I did contact them and explained the systems used by Citroen and the distinction between...

Just wanted to thank GiveMeABreak and all others that recommended Nielson CDG.

It would help us greatly if you advised what model/age Renault you have.
Some cars are cable throttle and some are 'fly-by-wire'. If the car is under warranty then get it off to the dealers. If its less than 3yrs old then if its electrical it will come up if you get the ecu fault codes read.

Hi All.

I asked for, and received a lot of help regarding a Scenic's rear tyre wear and the loss of the wheel nut lock. As reported earlier I got a new lock key from Renault at a reasonable cost. I went and got two new rear tyres, fitted, same size as the worn ones 205 X 60/R 16. But now the car acts as if it had smaller wheels fitted! It...

Whats the verdict on this?

Is there any other possible cause then bad turbo oil seals filling up the intercooler?

Well... Breather removed and the only thing not in order I can find is the tube I managed to crack since I was to lasy (and certainly stupid enough) to unclip the turbo outlet air pipe to begin with!

Now glued back on with epoxy and stronger then ever before 😊

Do that leaves the assumption this system is not very efficient and needs support....

Removing Steering Lock Module

by xsaras4ever » 05 Jul 2017, 14:09

First post

Hello to all,

we are replacing the steering lock module on a Megane.

When we took off the plastic covers to reveal the module , the torx bolt on the module is hand-loose. We know its a left-hand thread, but it will not either tighten or come loose.

Any fail-safe method for removing it ?

Thanks in advance

Last post

Hello to all.

Got it out - Grabbed it firmly with a mole-grips - kept a pull on it - and turned it slowly with a torx key.

Out it came. :) :)

The captive nut on the steering column had come free. Probably someone previously had a go - didn't know that it was lefthand thread and ended up tightening it until the nut parted from the flange on the...

Hello ekjdm, thanks for responding, answers below:

Is it definitely still doing this with the key out & locked? ( Yes: I stand outside the locked door and can still here the beep at 60 sec intervals ). Not familiar with this vehicle but I know PSA stereos bleep constantly when they're not coded to the vehicle, otherwise could it be a service...

Just search for Renault immo bypass on ebay, there are plenty of emulators especially for early ones.
Is it an IR or RF key ?
There are also plenty of programs online that can generate start codes, on some models you can use the central locking button to input the code to allow it to start, this has to be repeated on every start

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove to the clear plastic front of the cluster ? Better still, without having to remove the entire thing.

Hi guys, newbie here, and I hope you can help me.

We have a 2001 Clio Initiale owned since brand new - done 84,000miles - and since early December last year, it's been raining in and soaking the front carpets.

By parking facing downhill, we can keep the wetness at the front, but parking the other way round results in the rear carpets getting...

My apologies to everyone in that I've not been back to this subject or even this forum for yonks.

I cured the issue, and it wasn't easy at all.

The gaffa tape on the roof stayed for a while and when I eventually peeled it off, it pulled the gel coat off the paintwork.
knowing what I know now, I'd have used some other method to get it off than...

A tale about Megane brakes

by doctle » 10 Jun 2017, 18:09

First post

A friend rang me the other day. She has a 2005 Megane 1.4 and the brakes were worn. She brought it to a one man garage near her house and the "mechanic" diagnosed front discs and pads and rear pads. Total cost €350.00 about £300.00 because the brake discs are connected to the flywheel and it's a big job! I advised her to wait and rang...

Last post

When I had my Megane I changed the lot easily, I'd have done Sarah's for €50.00. I'd have left the flywheel in situ and she'd have had almost €200.00 to spend on lipstick or whatever young ladies spend their money on

Just had new disc;s and pads fitted all round to my 06 laguna 1.9 dci estate but it is now coming up with a handbrake fault is this a simple reset or worse. The handbrake was working fine before I had my brakes and service done and now the mechanic says the motor is gone. Any answers to my problem would be a great help.
many thanks Neebie

Remember the days when a handbrake was simple rachet that pulled either pulled 1/2 cables !
