I've seen this question elsewhere here. Apparently the gauges are unlikely to be used in a garage anyway and you just need to be able to twist the belt 90 degrees in the middle of its longest run.
Haynes are being cautious to avoid compensation claims.

Once you've broken down are the plugs sparking when you turn it over trying to start it? If they are it's probably fuel related.
If not, it's likely to be an electrical problem. My money is on either an igntiion compoment failing as it gets warm, or the fuel pump relay not working properly.

airbag warning light

by David Goddard » 06 Feb 2004, 02:23

First post

I would be surprised if removing a fuse would kill the warning light. Maybe just as quick to fix the fault. Presumably your car has front seat belt pre-tensioners. If so, the most likely fault would be the connectors usually found under the front seats. (Orange on Citroens) The explosive gadgets are all part of the air bag self check system....

Last post

any ideas as to where & if there is a fuse for ren laguna airbags , mine is a 96 2.2rtd & the dash airbag warning light is illuminated & i would hope to avoid either a trip to the main dealers or a trip thru my windscreen !!!! many thanks for any assistance recieved

Cam belt tension

by arry_b » 03 Feb 2004, 03:07

First post

Ask your nearest Ren dealer if they ever use one! Due to the pressure to finish jobs quickly that most dealer based mechanics are under, I suspect the real tool gets used less often than it should - if ever.
The belt should twist 90 degrees under firm finger pressure on the longest run. If it whooshes it's too tight.
Good luck in finding one...

Last post

I am about to change the cam belt on a 1.6e megane (K7M engine)
Has anyone found a tension gauge which can be used on this engine?
Is the genuine renault one available for hire anywhere?
Thanks in advance.

First post

I don't mean to teach you to suck eggs but you have checked the clutch cable for being stiff.If it is then you will have to take it out of the car and hang it up to oil it.

Last post

I have a R19 gts 1.4 rhd.
The clutch is heavy & stiff. Changed the pressure plate & clutch disk without any change.
Please could you give me a solution.
I am having cramps with this clutch.
Thanks for a prompt reply

Laguna won't start

by bigdaddy » 09 Feb 2004, 15:45

First post

Hi, dont know much about laguna's, but if you have fuel and a spark, then i would check the timing, the belt may have jumped a few teeth the last time you drove the car

Last post

Got a problem with my '94 Laguna 1.8 RT.
The starter motor went an has been replaced about a week ago. A few days later the car cut out whilst driving and now will not start.
The immobiliser seems fine, there is a spark in the plugs and fuel being fed.
When the engine turns over it tends to back-fire into the carb. My mechanic is baffled.

Renault 19 gtsx keeps on overheating HELP!! please

by CITMAN » 30 Jan 2004, 15:19

First post

Sounds like a coolant circulations problem. Best bet would be to flush the system through with a good rad flush such as forte cooling system flush which you should be able to get from a good garage. And after you have done this give the system a good flush using a hose pipe by taking the bottom and top hose off first. Including the radiator and...

Have a Renault Laguna with a problem. The 30AMP fuse situated by the passenger side front wing in a plastic housing (the fuse is the one right slap bang in the centre) keeps blowing. The last one was ok for around 500 miles but today, it blew again (2nd time) and when fitting a replacement, it blew immediately.
Tested early in January by...

R21 Savanna Diesel vibration

by andya » 23 Jan 2004, 02:15

Hi All
I have 21 Sav 1.9diesel and it vibrates. Its like the engine is mounted directly to the chassis without rubber. Its worst at 2500 rpm in any gear and is worse under load. Past 3000rpm it smoothes out. I have checked all mountings and have replaced the main front one. There is nothing touching anywhere and the exhaust is well away from the...

Clio remote central locking reprogramming?

by andya » 23 Jan 2004, 02:05

First post

Hard luck Dad2b
Renault plips can only be done with dealer equipment and a 4 digit code obtained from ren UK. I have never heard of anyone else being able to do it.
£35 is a bit steep as it only takes 10 Mins at the most

Does anyone out there know how to reprogram the clio remote central locking system as our car is a '99 1.2 RT and has decide to stop recognising the key fob signal, Renault have told me it will be £85 to replace the fob, and £35 to reprogram the system. As most of the cars we've owned in the past have had a simple sequence of presses of the key...

Renault Clio immobiliser problems

by lucy-clio » 26 Jan 2004, 18:17

First post

Update: it turned out to be my starter motor - I looked it up on GFS parts and it is around £60 so the £102 I've been quoted to replace it (labour and parts, excl. VAT) sounds OK (main dealer) I think (??).
A spare key will be £78 so I am thinking about that one...
Hopefully I won't be back on here for a while!

I'm unable to start my 97 Clio 1.2 RL - AA patrol thought it might be my immobiliser or key fob that is faulty. I got it home that time as it started in the end but now I get nothing. The lights, heater etc all go on when I start the ignition, and the lights don't dim at all. The LED in front of the gearstick (immobiliser LED I think) goes on...
