Can the Laguna II brake master cylinder be opened for a service of the seals and valve etc?

I got mine off the car, but I can't see how it opens - I expected to find a circlip!

Hello great knowledged ones, and not so knowledged ones,
I have change the radio in my tragic. It includes the loom display and radio. I am assuming that there are only a couple of looms,ie sat nav and non sat nav. Radio is a 281152957r and the display is a 280341078r , all plugs connect perfectly, yet nothing on the display. CD player will try to eject but nothing else. The van hasn't caught fire ?
Do the radios , displays, looms have to be mated and divorced like the older double din units or have I got a mismatch of loom to radio and display? Surely there aren't that many differences.
Thanks,:crazy::crazy::crazy:

Hi, I'm new to this forum (and a complete novice when it comes to cars) so forgive me if I'm doing something thats been done wrong a thousand times before :-). I have a 2003 Renault Espace that has been leaking oil (a small bit) for a few days. The part where the leak is coming from I have been unable to identify so my mechanic can get a replacement (He doesn't know what it is either). Could someone on here please identify it if possible? it's the part circled in red on the image (the image is of a Laguna I think but the layout appears to be similar and the part is the same. Thanks.Attachment 50281

I need help with radio code on my megane Diamonique. Taken the car to the garage to get the ITV (MOT) done and a full service. Car came back and because they had disconnected the battery the code needed to be put in again for the radio. One small problem, the code that I have that I have used before does not now work. So I have no radio as the dash simply says code. Is there a way to reset it back to factory settings so that I can put a new code in again so I can get the radio/CDs playing again. All worked fine until the garage. HELP!!!! :-) Thank you in advance

Hi folks,

I posted on another thread about my sluggish and stuttering Trafic and it went into the main dealers this morning. It transpires that they think that all 4 injectors need replacing at a cost of £2200, however without prompting they mentioned that Renault were prepared to help out with 50% of the cost. I know the injectors are around £220 each so this seems like a good deal. I am pretty handy with a spanner, could I save anything by stripping back to the injectors, getting a specialist to remove them then sourcing some aftermarket injectors. If I only stand to save a few quid then the main dealers get it!

Cheers

Hi folks, my name's Paul, i'm 27 and I live in beautiful Wales with my girlfriend Megan in a charming little town of just 3000 people, nestled in a Valley beneath a huge 3000ft mountain, it's spectacular! There are some amazing traffic free roads here for anybody who likes a good drive too.

I recently said goodbye to my pride and joy, "Abi" a 2009 Abarth 500 Launch Edition which I bought new when I was 21, and covered 58,000 miles. Great little car, so much fun, but it had begun to go wrong and things like road tax, insurance, servicing and repair bills were becoming a little tedious!

So after testing a few cars, I decided to go for a Clio. Only picked "Chloe" up about 10 days ago, but she's a great car, drives lovely and has so many toys and gadgets! Obviously no performance car like the Abarth, but only the power is worse, every other aspect, build, ride, running costs, practicality, interior room etc are all leagues ahead of my bouncy little Fiat! So I do miss the cheeky little Italian, the noise, the speed the crazy loud backfires, but it's time to be sensible now and enjoy saving money hopefully (which I work out to be almost £2000 a year better off now!)

This is my first French car, i'm by no means a badge snob, i'll give anything a go. I've had 3 Italian car and the rest have been Malaysian/Japanese etc. Hoping to meet some new people, possibly organise some drives and no doubt i'll have some querky questions about Chloe very soon!

Hi

Could somebody please explain to me what the open-ended rubber hose is on the underside of my Renault Trafic (DCI) bonnet?

This vertical hose is located below the engine, and has been dripping a bit of oil...not a lot, but enough to mark my drive.

What is the likely reason for it to drip oil?

many thanks

Hi, on Monday I had an aux belt and pump replaced on my 1.5dci Kangoo.

Up to that point, the engine started first time every time and ran well.

After the belt and pump install, the engine does not want to start and I have just attempted in excess of 30 times to get the van started and then it just did. What on earth is going on; what would my mechanic have done to have changed the starting performance of my van????

Please help, this is so frustrating, it is driving me completely mental!!:mad:

Evening all,

I have just bought an 2004 Scenic 1.5 dci with 71000 miles on it. Had a look underneath and didn't like what I saw. The under - tray looks like it has been damaged and/or broken off and there looks like there is a fair bit of oil on the exposed parts. Driving - wise, there is blue smoke on acceleration and this reduces during the during somewhat. Urban driving is fine but anything beyond that feels as if something is about to go wrong (that's the best way I can describe it - sorry). I have attached some pictures. There seems to be a small leak in the centre of the car where I have pictured, Can anybody help with what this may be? Thanks. Kevin

Recently took my (newly bought) second hand Kangoo 2007 for a service. I knew when I bought it that it had a couple of category C claims on it, so wasn't too surprised when I was told that the front driver side camber angle was out due to possible damage to the hub carrier. At the same time as the service I booked it in to have the tracking done as I thought that was the reason the steering wheel was constantly pulling me left but this clearly hasn't fixed it.

What I'm wondering is whether it's worth the money to fix this van as I have no idea how long it will take to replace a hub carrier and indeed if this will fix the problem permanently or will it always liable to breaking?

Also is there any other damage apart from excessive tyre wear this sort of issue can have?

Many thanks in advance!

Laguna II ESP Fault DF075 Steering Angle Sensor

I just wanted to share my experience.

My Laguna II had been giving an ESP fault which my CliP device revealed to be error DF075 'Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Signal'.

There is a sensor behind the steering wheel which detects the angle and in my case it was miss-aligned. Presumably if the wires or the device itself are faulty you will also get this error.

Anyway, you can get to it quite easily:

1) Remove airbag. Firstly disconnect the battery. There is a little hole in the back of the steering wheel and if you put a screwdriver in there you can press a metal spring-clip. Just push it, nothing special. At the same time push the airbag upwards. It will slide up off it's clips and you can then take it out. There are two connectors on it (green left, blue right) which need to be taken out before you can put the airbag to one side. Try to keep the airbag facing away from you, just in case it goes off.

2) Disconnect the steering wheel control connectors. There are two plugs.

3) Un-do the central bolt that holds the steering wheel on. It is a large torx. I'm not sure what side since my torx driver was too rusty to see the markings! It's quite big though, more tham y usual domestic kit had in it. Luckily I had one from doing the lower ball joints previously on my Pug 306.

4) Take the wheel off and you can see the rotational sensor.

In my case this sensor had been spun around many times, presumably when someone had taken the steering wheel off to do other work. You most likely can't get this back in the right positon without the Renault CliP device to read out the angle signal the car is getting. In my case it was reading -700deg!!!

Looking at the CliP readout I span the sensor around until it read 0Deg and put the steering wheel, controls and airbag carefully back on. I erased the fault code and job done :) No ESP fault!

You can see here my steering wheel is resting at -3deg. Obviously 0deg is straight ahead but the road camber pulls it a little where I parked.









Note: Please let me know if you can or can't see the photos I've just changed to using Google Photos and someone told me I need to make them public.

Hi chaps, im new here. Picked up my stunning Clio DCI a few days ago, just have a few questions for you. Fuel gauge, did Renault miscalculate the size? I brimmed the tank on pick up and it took 315 miles before it started moving, at which point it suddenly dropped by a quarter! The rest of the tank is moving normaly now, but im pretty sure it holds more than 10 gallons as im 560 miles in and still have almost half a tank left!

2. Eco mode, I dont get the green/orange dash light when in Eco mode to tell you what a good boy ive been, and also when I floor the throttle to overtake etc, it doesnt flash and disengage either.

3. Stop start, cant get it to kick in, always says unavailable, is there a trick? Aircon on or off? Does the handbrake have to be on?

Thats it for now but im sure ill have more questions for you in the near future! Thanks, Paul

Hi

My 1.2 3 door Clio came (2011) with 165/65 R15 steel wheels. I bought it as an ex-demonstrator at 6 months old. This seems to be really rare, and also makes tyres harder to find and more costly.

It also has a problem with rattling disc callipers, which Renault have fixed by putting in new pads - twice, and now refuse to fix this manufacturing defect.

Are these things possibly connected?

Have I been sold a car with the wrong wheel size?

Hi guys, any idea on this one before I start digging deeper?
1997 clio 1.4 automatic 51.000 miles only. last 2 days has been giving the following symptoms
after idling at a junction then setting off it blows out a cloud of greyish smoke from the exhaust clears as it accelerates but when I slow back down or wait at another junction does the same
tried it on the driveway in park, let it tickover and if I open the throttle the greyish smoke blooms out clears a little but still smoking, also has a very strange smell to it, definitely not burning any oil and the coolant level hasn't dropped either, however as the car gets warmer it begins to misfire slightly too, I checked the plugs and they are pretty damp even if I take them out when engine hot,
so I am thinking that either I have contaminated fuel, or that I have problems on the ignition side and the fuel isn't burning correctly and its pushing unburnt fuel out the exhaust, and to be honest I am not even sure if this older car has a CAT fitted?
any ideas?
I will firstly fit a new set of plugs and make sure ignition system is up to scratch and go from there
many thanks
Crofty
