The heater blower motor on my ph2 Safrane with auto AC went up in smoke.

Can anyone confirm if a blower from a ph1 with manual AC would fit?

Hi.

Time to renew both summer and winter tyres and are wondering if one step up in width or profile from 245/45r18 is ok?
I have done that on every other car ive owned, but It looks to be a tight fit in the front as it is now.
So it would be nice to to here if others are using 235/55r17 with success? as it gives +1,9% in diameter.
225/60r17...

Whilst the Wind is quite new in comparison to other cars discussed here, but I seem to have only seen a small amount of posts about the car (via search function)...apart from the weak point re steering rack (problem shared with Mk 2 Twingo), I am surprised no one else has asked for any help...

Apart from the steering rack problem (fixed when I...

Hello, I've got a 1984 Fuego 2ltr turbo which has been stood for 11 years. I can't get a spark. Have replaced the coil with a new one but still no joy. Does anyone know of anyone who can test the ignition control unit? Does anyone know where can buy a replacement unit? If all else fails does anyone know if it is possible to replace the system with...

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.

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.

Hi all, it's really a pleasure to be here!
My problem concerns the Clio camshaft position sensor for my 2002 Clio 1.4 16V. Nobody seems to have this sensor in stock, and I even read where someone said this engine doesnt't carry one!

Hello all,
I driving with the Renault Laguna II Grandtour (KG0/1_) 1.9 dCi (KG1V), 2006.year., 278 790 km run.

Few days ago I got call from the service that the automatic gearbox is completely dead. I do not want to buy new gearbox.

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.

He said that Renault had told him that the box is sealed for life and advised him not...
