Removing Steering Lock Module

by xsaras4ever » 05 Jul 2017, 14:09

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

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...

Total cost €350.00 about £300.00 because the brake discs are connected to the flywheel and it's a big job! I advised her to wait and rang the motor...

When I had my Megane I changed the lot easily, I'd have done Sarah's for €50.00. I'd have left the flywheel in situ and she'd have had almost €200.00 to spend on lipstick or whatever young ladies spend their money on

Having a closer look, the plug was rounded out to the point where nothing works to get the plug out....

This first happened a few months ago. I was going around a left turn, then the car felt as though I'd hit the kerb and the car turned right while I had the steering wheel in left position. I thought oops I'm a bad driver lol, anyways from then on for about a week the steering was light...

You need to get that onto a proper diagnostic unit, the steering signal for the electric motor comes off a curcuit board with two pots on it something is spooking the signal to the steering motor dont drive it to far its dangerous !

Renault diagnostics, as in Lexia for Renault

by elma » 28 Jun 2016, 16:54

First post

Does anyone know what the Renault equivalent of Lexia is?

I have a few issues on the Scenic that need tracking down and I am struggling to find anything except for the Renault/Volvo Hgv diagnostics machine with googles help.

Last post

I didn't get round to buying one but my research led me to believe that the canclip was necessary for my scenic.
Main reason was to release the e handbrake to change the rear pads. I don't think the delphi can do that.

Renault Megane MK1 Engine Cooling Fan Help

by meganeman » 09 Apr 2017, 20:21

First post

Good evening folks, I recently purchase a Renault Megane MK1 2001 the only known fault is the engine fan not kicking in when it should do. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem could be? Could it be a faulty fuse or engine temperature sensor? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. :-D

Last post

If a fuse has blown in a high amp circuit then there normally is a reason.
When you say not kicking in when is should ....does it come on at all or do you think it is taking to long ?
