Renault Megan classic ucbic (ecu)??

Sounds like an earthing or fusebox problem to me. If you can't drive a multimeter, get yourself off to an electical specialist for a second opinion.

This thread was last used 12 years ago, probably the cars fixed or scrapped by now.

my advice would be take it inot a garage as soon as possible.
if it is a computer problem any diagnosis without looking at the car it self would be near impossible to get accurate.

Renault Scenic questions.

answer to question 1;renaults timing belt intervals can be a bit on the extreme side but the belts do seem to last.although i've heard of a few going so to be sure if you couldnt find a cheap way of doing it i would have it changed at 36000miles.

The anti hijack locks come on when you get into the vehicle and when you reach 6mph they unlock for obvious safety reasons !

Faulty ECU?

by ebod » 29 Apr 2005, 01:35

First post

G Man,
It would help us greatly if you advised what model/age Renault you have.
Some cars are cable throttle and some are 'fly-by-wire'. If the car is under warranty then get it off to the dealers. If its less than 3yrs old then if its electrical it will come up if you get the ecu fault codes read.

Last post

An other thing to check is the earth wire for the actual computer this can lead to all sorts of problems , put a meter on it and check the continuty , could be the tps gone tits up but that should be checked as well !

Had to change a flat the other day and tried to winch down my spare. It got half way then jammed, to cut a long story short the steel wire is twisted beyond repair.The unit is easy to remove but not dismantle. Main dealer charging £180 for replacement.
Does anyone know of a resonable spares dealer.

Hi

Feel free to laugh :( but I have a problem that is totally my own making.

I changed the oil and filter on the van today and reversed off the ramps but stupidly left an axle stand up. Anyway the bottom line is it has pierced the gearbox housing somehow and Ive no gearbox oil left.

What I'd like to know is can it be repaired or do I need a new...

I offered to fix my son inlaws xr 4 but he said i would prefer to let the garage do it , so they put up on the ramp fixed the exhaust and let it down right onto a 5ft stand they left in the way of the door they left open , they turned it into a gull wing ford ,priceless !

Hi All

My 1998 Grand Espace 2.2DT cambelt has broken. The AA guy said it has def snapped, and the engine was not showing signs of compression. (By using an ignition meter test). After a second opinion, the second AA guy wrote on my breakdown report 'Major Mechanical Failure' :cry:

Is my engine most likely blown in major way? or is there any...

There have been some that just broke the rockers = about a million to one shot but at the end of the day even if you have the skill sets required the catapult is starting to look good and a lot cheaper !

OK due to Renault saying that you never have to change the fluid only needing to top it up now and again debris from the clutch plates and the steel spacer plates causes problems with the valve body and the EMV valves + torque converter lock up any auto box MFG will tell you to change the fluid at 30,000 miles , some applications of Citroen have...

Whats the verdict on this?

Is there any other possible cause then bad turbo oil seals filling up the intercooler?

Well... Breather removed and the only thing not in order I can find is the tube I managed to crack since I was to lasy (and certainly stupid enough) to unclip the turbo outlet air pipe to begin with!

Now glued back on with epoxy and stronger then ever before 😊

So that leaves the assumption this system is not very efficient and needs support....

Removing Steering Lock Module

by xsaras4ever » 05 Jul 2017, 14:09

First post

Hello to all,

we are replacing the steering lock module on a Megane.

When we took off the plastic covers to reveal the module , the torx bolt on the module is hand-loose. We know its a left-hand thread, but it will not either tighten or come loose.

Any fail-safe method for removing it ?

Thanks in advance

Last post

Hello to all.

Got it out - Grabbed it firmly with a mole-grips - kept a pull on it - and turned it slowly with a torx key.

Out it came. :) :)

The captive nut on the steering column had come free. Probably someone previously had a go - didn't know that it was lefthand thread and ended up tightening it until the nut parted from the flange on the...
