That's very concerning, especially on such a new van.

The fact it fired straight up after the battery was disconnected then replaced suggests an ECU needed to be reset.

Surely being so new it will be covered under warranty, if so I'd get it booked in to Renault and see if they can detect what caused it.

by Pug_XUD_KeenAmateur » 15 Aug 2018, 09:23

First post

not sure if its a 21 or a 25
Local car I see often and probably rare: I'm preparing to move house so a shot at someone saving it / using it as a parts car if its worth bothering
An enquiry on DVLA shows it to be 2975cc and MOT last expired 6 years ago
If anyone wants to follow it up, I'll provide reg and address
or if you'd like to put together...

Grand Scenic 1.6 Dci 130 split pipe

by haymaker2k » 10 Sep 2018, 07:27

First post

Hi,

I have a Scenic 1.6 Dci 130 that has developed a slip in the exhaust pressure sensor pipe. It is the rubber part at the tip that joins the metal pipe to the sensor itself, it has a bent in it.

I have tried to get a replacement from Renault but they appear to only supply the complete pipe and sensor for over £100. I don`t want to spend that...

Last post

Glad you've got it sorted. It's always the awkward pipe sizes that you find!

Clio 197 rear discs

by beemaa » 01 Sep 2018, 19:01

First post

Hi All,

I just got told I need new discs for my 197 on the rear.

I'm not sure what the options are as the mechanic said they come pre assembled with built in bearing kits?

I'm not sure how accurate this is as I have seen some online that come with / without the bearing as well as some others that come with abs bearing.

If anyone can point me...

Last post

Why were told you needed new disks? Thickness, a bit of a lip on the exterior or braking?

Upgrades for old Clio?

by qprdude » 29 Aug 2018, 12:33

SWMBO has a 2008 Clio and won't part with it. It's a 1.2 petrol Campus sport.
It has done under 6000 miles and is in great condition for it's age.
Needs the cam belt done so she is going to book it in next week. Been quoted £198!!!!!!, which seems very cheap. I suspect that's without the water pump, but we've had several quotes from £220 up to...

Front windscreen Wipers Stopped Working Properly

by wiper » 12 Feb 2014, 17:02

First post

Hi,

I have been running a Renault Clio 1.2 16V Rip Curl 5Dr Petrol Hatchback (2008) for over a year without issue, until now.

Recently I had my windscreen wipers on low/slow intermittent setting, then suddenly out of the blue they stopped in the middle of my windscreen.
I tried moving the stick down to try a faster setting and it also doesn't...

Last post

I had the exact same problem with the wiper motor sitting in a pool of water but I drained it and the same problem happened with the wipers but only started months later. Anyway I did what was suggested and cleaned the contacts and added new grees and now they work like they should.

Thanks a lot for the info

Clio MK2 1.2 16V (year 2001)

by xantos » 24 Aug 2018, 08:52

Hello everyone!

Isn't it a joy to own a french car :twisted:

Does anyone know a solution to this problem...

I have a immobilizer problem with my misses Clio... Sometimes the car doesn't start (immo light flashing rapidly). I found a temporary solution: key to ignition, pos. 2, hold lock/unlock button on key, pos. 1, pos 2, release the button...

2003 Scenic - Hissing from servo into cabin...

by RussellF97 » 22 Aug 2018, 20:00

First post

2003 Scenic diesel Dci, When first starting the engine and when switching off, there's a hissing from the servo into the cabin. The brakes work fine, it's just the hissing that's concerning the owner...

Last post

I don't know too much about the servo architecture on those, but I once experienced something similar on another car where a vacuum non-return valve got gummed up and stuck almost closed, making asthmatic noises at start up and shut down.

2008 renault megane 1.5 dci

by bnd » 18 Aug 2018, 17:07

First post

Hi folks.

I have a megane that is throwing up a fault check injection The car then goes into limp mode.

My diagnostic tool stated that the glow plug relay was faulty.

I replaced the glow plug relay, cleared the fault and hey presto.

However......now if the car approaches a hill and I put my foot down the check injection fault shows on the dash...

Last post

Same here - glow plugs are rarely used on modern engines, say for cold starts and regeneration assistance (where a DPF is fitted) I can't see any correlation to how Glow Plugs would have any impact. :shock:

Renault Clio Maintenance Videos

by NewcastleFalcon » 04 Dec 2017, 23:07

First post

Having just acquired a Clio..just so that I can find them when I need them..heres a thread which can be a receptacle for a few everyday maintenance videos.

The car has been inactive for a while so I expect to do disks and pads. This vid makes it look easy :-D and all done in about 7 minutes real time!

Things to look out for when buying a Kangoo?

by cancunia » 26 Jul 2018, 09:47

I currently have an '04 Berlingo 2.0HDi which I'm wanting to replace with a newer car so am thinking that perhaps a Kangoo diesel car somewhere around 2007 might be a possibility. Does anyone have thoughts on what to buy / not to buy, engine sizes , models, what to check when looking at one etc?

Thanks
