Hi, as the title says.It been a bit cold in West Wales recently

On start up all is well and car starts and runs,but I get a warning symbol on the dash that looks like a pan with a lid on and squiggles rising from it ? Its beeps at me as well ! Now its a bit warmer here the problem has gone.Any ideas folks ?

Difficult to say without seeing it. I'm not too familiar with Renault either.

From your description its meant to be a cataylst or possibly a fuel cannister.

So that would mean either emission related issue (ECU will switch this on) or 'Water In Fuel' (for the fuel one)

Changing the fuel filter should fix the latter I would say. Its possible condensation built up but its gone now (still worth changing the filter though to be honest)

Thanks Andy, presumed it was weather related , but will investigate further. Bill.

Update, I have found the symbol in the handbook but just says ring Renault. I think it is as you say the catalyst but do not understand how the "overheating" symbol would show on start up,maybe overfueling due to colder than normal weather ???
