2001 Scenic 1.4 Few issues.

[demag]

This car still amazes me but has developed a couple of issues.

1, A creak from the left hand rear when going over speed bumps or uneven surfaces. It appears to be suspension related, I have sprayed WD40 on the bottom shocker bush to see if that will help. There doesn't seem to be any unnatural lean on the wheel so I assume the arm bearings are ok. And it is just a squeak/creak, no knocking.

2, Lumpy running when cold, which lasts just for a few minutes until the temp gauge starts to move. However sometimes when the engine is warm it feels like it's bogging down when pulling away so not sure if this is related. I read that the mixture is controlled by a temperature sender on the engine which feeds data to the ecu. If these start to fail it upsets the mixture. Sounds about right but which sender? I see them advertised on ebay but not sure if they are the right one. Does anyone know?

Don't know about temp sender type. Give it a clean first anyway. Maybe clean around throttle too.
Check your rear coil spring. Get in with the torch. Sometimes they break down at bottom of seat. The spring stays same length but is separating slightly as spring moves when under way.

For the creaking search for Renault 0826A service document.
