The Carminat top of dash Tom tom in my 2011 CC did the dance of death on Saturday flashing all sort of colours at me, then lines down the screen then death, to be fair I think it has been dying for about a year it had 3 thin coloured lines bottom of screen and sometimes it would look like it was all blurred, switch car off and back on it is ok,...

My car is a 2019 Megane 1.3 TCE, manual, with 140,000 km on it and Joy Pack.
I took my car in for routine maintenance in April, and when I got it back that afternoon, it started vibrating while idling.
It hadn't happened before.
The mechanic added 5w30 RN 720 oil.
I suspected the oil and had Motul RN17 oil added back, but the problem didn't go...

Hello
Saw today that my friends Trafic had a stripped belt (on the width) again, it did this about 1.5 years ago.
It's like two of the ribs of the belt are gone, from being a 7PK, now it is lik a 5PK.

Checked all the belts and pulleys that time i replaced it, but is tight and i did it on jackstands. So i could have missed something..

Have...

Hi all,

I have an issue where my head unit, clock/temp display and cigarette lighter have all lost power when they were working fine previously. I believe it happened since I changed the battery.

I have pulled and checked continuity in every fuse below the steering wheel, pulled and checked every fuse in the engine bay fuse box...

First time.poster so apologies if this has been covered before.
My 2017 Scenic 4 has developed a problem with the alarm going off. So yesterday it went off as soon as I opened the rear doors. Could not get it to stop, ended up disconnecting the battery and eventually it stopped. Connected the battery and it'd just make the alarm sound. Left it...

Hello,
on my 2011 Twingo 1.2 75 cv - Engine type CN01 (also known as 770 I believe) I found out that there is an electronic thermostat which opens mechanically at 108 C, and only in case of high load opens fully with an electrical impulse. The OE number is 8200400294 ( )

While on many other Twingo ( and Clios, Modus, ect..) with same engine 1.2...

I wonder if anyone can provide me with any advice on what might be causing a loud tapping noise on my 2021 Renault Kadjar 1.3 petrol engine at tickover. This engine is fitted to many Renaults, Dacias, Nissans and Mercedes and seems to have a good reputation for reliability (apart for the plastic thermostate housing breaking/leaking). I have a...

Hello there
I am a new driver and have recently purchased my first car. A 2007 Renault modus 1.6.
It's a bit of a project but has only 25000 miles on the clock and in excellent condition so well worth it.
One issue it does have is that the trim/seal on both sides of the windscreen is perished. Unfortunately I cannot source replacements anywhere....

Hi All.

I recently bought a 2007 2.0d Espace to replace my 2.2d which slips its serpentine belt every few thousand miles or so.

Anyway, the 2.0 takes off like a rocket (perhaps a bit of an exaggeration) but the fuel economy is poor compared to the 2.2. I suspect the 2.0 has been fitted with a performance chip. It drives like many chipped cars...

Hi guys, having an issue with the dipped headlight and drl on the drivers side both out. Bulbs look fine. Full beam works.

Cant seem to find any information about a...

Renault megane mk one 1.9DTI
I have an issue with starting when left over night it doesn’t make a difference if it’s warm outside.
it cranks for ages then eventually fires with a puff of white smoke followed by a rough idle for about 20 seconds. If then left for about 4 hours you only have to show it the key and away it goes with no problems. Has...

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a 2005 Scenic II K4M 761 automatic. Long story short, my AC compressor suddenly failed while driving, making loud metallic noises. I pulled over immediately as I didn't want to risk the serpentine belt snapping and taking out the timing belt, so I got the car towed to a garage.

There we inspected both belts,...

Hi there

I'm definitely not car-minded, and I am baffled. My kangoo keeps cutting out when l slow down coming to junctions but restarts straight away. Pushing on the fuel pump wiring and using a cable tie to secure the connector helped for a while. The glow plug light comes on to warn me it is going to cut out. If l keep on the revs it is fine...

I have a 2016 Mégane 1V . Recently the heater does not seem to blow hot or cold air. I have changed the cabin filter although It was not very dirty, but no difference. If I switch from auto to using the sliding fan control I can hear the blower speeding up but still not much air. Could there be a blockage somewhere? Thank you.
