Renault Scenic petrol startup clatter

Post by pogo001 »

Hi.
I have just bought a 2012 1.6 petrol Renault scenic, 65'000 miles.
Two things. Usually it starts absolutely silent, but the other day, after being left for a couple of days, there was a horrible metallic clatter on startup which went after a couple of seconds. It doesnt seem to do it if started every day.
Also, it has the warning 'check pollution filter' which clears with an obd2 reader but came back with the clatter, may be just coincidental. Any idea of the cause of it? The car seems pretty sluggish on acceleration compared to my 1.9dci scenic I had previously, but that may just be modern petrol engines.
Last thing is I have reset service interval on the computer but the lit spanner wont go out. Any ideas what Im doing wrong? It seems pretty straightforward on youtube!
Thanks for any help
Paul
