Just done this little job, and the washers are back working again.

The new washer motor was under £10 from eurocarparts, but as ever there were a few little difficulties to overcome.

To access the washer reservoir the two plastic scuttle panels under the windscreen have to be removed, drivers side first, then passenger side.

The passenger side...

So I just sold one of the cars and now I have an empty spot on the driveway :) While I never had a proper Renault, I had a 2008 Dacia Logan 1.6 16v petrol and, while the car was pretty basic, the engine was just great. The power was not out of this world, but the sound was just excelent.

Looking for a perfect combination with this engine, I think...

I have a Renault Espace 2.0T. The air intercooler pipe was broken at the connection to the turbo. I then bought a new one and the mechanic changed it for me. But he also serviced the car with new oil and spark plugs.
Now the car has a misfire when reaching 55 Km/h. So I put back the old spark plugs and had the ignition coil changed as well but...

Hi
The van is from 2011. (VIN VF1**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] )
Fault code 038015 Pre heating diagnosis connector open ciruite - appeared.
I was a bit fast and changed the plugs - it has run over 200000 km.
After that I started to check the voltage at the plugs - its constant ~5V.
So I changed the relay.
Still same.
Does someone have an idea to where to start...

I have recently bought a 2017 renault kadjar and the folding mirror on the passenger side has gone really slow and sometimes only closes half way when being locked. Any info on this is very much appreciated.

I have a 2007 clio 1.2 16v turbo and have an issue where when I connect these to hoses together when the engine isn't running the engine loses all revs and dies and if I connect them when it is running after driving for a minute it just blows apart again. It's causing my engine to idle at about 1.5k rpm but if I connect them it goes back to...

The Zoe came with two key cards, one works the other pops up 'Key card not recognised' so I've taken it apart (I know.. it's not supposed to come apart) but here's what I found, a soldering job might fix it....we'll see later. :)

Is it anything special?
I've got blue and pink stuff on my shelf, do I need something different?

The rear screenwash on my daughter's 2009 Clio has stopped working. Now the front one has also failed. The wipers work ok. I think the motor has probably failed but I have no idea how to access it.

Hello
I recently changed the gearbox oil and the timing belt+water pump.
I did not pay attention at first, but I now notice that when the car is stationary, in addition to the vibration of the gear stick which is minimal and normal, there is a sound from the gear stick,a kind of bzzzz.
If I move the gear lever a little back when the car is...

I have a 2003 Renault Scenic 2l 16V automatic. It only reverse. No forward movement.
When R or N selected, the car reverse. If D, 1, or 2 selected it feels like the car is in neutral (can be pushed).

It seems that now led-bulbs might just work on headlights - at least if they´re H7-bulbs in projector -headlights. I will be testing this soon on our new ZOE. Previous experiences from other ZOE-owners seem encouraging when looking at before and after pictures.

Hello everyone,

I am new to Renaults but have always fancied a Grand Espace. I have seen one recently that looks pretty clean and low KMs (for Spain anyway.....).

However I am bit confused: 1. Where's the spoiler gone? 2. I thought the Privilege had alloys as standard? 3. What is the general opinion of this example?

I would very much...

Hello,
Newbie here. North London based. Looking to connect with someone local who has knowledge of these cars.
Although mine's working fine, I'd like to meet someone who knows these engines well. There's bound to be issues over time and I don't want to be firefighting.
Any help appreciated.

Hi. I have a 2012 Scenic 1.6 Petrol. I had the cambelt changed recently including the dephaser pully. Before I had this changed and also since, I get the code P0011 and a message check anti pollution system.

Daughter has a Megane C+C , 1.6 VVT, 2006.
Had a new clutch yesterday, plus wishbones.
Needs a rear spring, new tyres and tracking - the steering wheel is off-centre.
Also passenger door mirror and window don't work - they did when she bought it.

The tyres fitted are 205/50 R16 and ZR16 91 W.

so a friend of mine, the terrible enabler that he is, linked me to a Renault 30TS w/ manual transmission for not very much money.

instantly intrigued, i started digging into researching the car, and started to realize that Renault reeeeeally didn't sell a ton of these on this side of the pond, and there aren't very many left on the road in...

Hi!

It all started with a slight jerking when changing gear and sometimes the inability to reverse.
So I went to a mechanic to diagnose the replacement of the clutch and clutch lock.
After replacement, the car started but only with 3 gears and no reverse.
Back to the mechanic, 100 times adjusting, releasing the air, searching, changing all the...

Hi,

I am a kiwi living in France. I am intending to buy a VelSatis and have been Google-translating the French VelSatis Forum;

I have come across numerous references to which is/was an English site dedicated to these cars.

Does anyone know if the content of that site is still available anywhere?

Thanks

Hi everyone.
Advice please.
I think the timing chain is starting to go as there is a low frequency whine from the timing chain end of the engine towards the bottom and the engine is not as smooth as normal between 1000 - 1800 rpm.

Hi Guys, I bought an 08 Laguna 1.5 DCi. It needs a service however theres a lot of conflicting information on the oil needed anything from 10w40 to 0w30 depending on the source. Can anyone shed a little light on this? A local place has an offer of Shell Helix 5w30 for €30.00 which seems reasonable
