Hello all,
I'm new here, thank you for accepting me to this honorable forum.
The button panel that is located under the media screen was hit and pushed in. How can I get behind it in order to push it back to its place?
And how do you think it would be best to fix it there? I guess something broke there and it won't stay in place without fixing.
I...

Hello,

I’ve bought a Mégane 3 Gt line estate 2015 1.6dci VF1**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]…and I struggle to buy parts for it for example shock absorbers. I don’t know if I have standard suspension or sport.

The handbook for my Renault Alpine GTA turbo states Elf TRX 80W API GL5 for the gearbox. Can't seem to get this now so what would be a good substitute? Must it be GL5 or would GL4 be ok? On looking this up I read that GL5 is not suitable for gearboxes!

The main beam on the headlights do not stay on after the stalk is pulled back and clicked to stay on, but come on when the stalk is held back.

The wipers do not work in stalk position 1 but work as you would expect if you hold the wiper stalk between off and setting 1. As soon as the stalk 'clicks' into setting 1 the wipers freeze.

Hi! My radio got stuck in my Megane. I did a google search and saw that you need the serial number of the radio to unlock it... I took the radio off and that serial number is erased from the label. I did another search on how to find out the code without the serial number and this page came up : but it's pay. Do I have another alternative or will...

Hi guys,

Newbie here on the forum. Hoping to get some advice as to the correct oil to use in the DCT gearbox on my Captur.
