Engine bay part missing?

$
0
0
Hi all, I was replacing the air filter on my 04 Scenic 1.9dci and noticed that I could clearly see the interior fan assembly. I am assuming there should be a cover or plate for this as it makes no sense to have a cabin filter if there is a gaping hole where the fan can draw air in.

Anyone advise if I am missing something as I suspect?

Perhaps someone could post a pic of what they can see behind the air filter housing?

Many thanks

Help fault codes.....

After heavy rain today water has got in to behind dash.... The AA came out and sorted water out for me (I'm not very technical) and now the only thing that is not working is the climate control. The AA found the fault code B1129 but I can't find anything to say what this relates to? I run a Megane 1.9 DCI 2009. If anyone knows what this code is or where I can go to find out please help.....

Clio PH1 infra red central locking

$

0
My trusty/rusty Renault Clio Ph1 has had a lot of time and money spent on it in the last 12 months to keep it going.

Part of this has been repairing the sun roof and the leaking areas. Previous leaks had affected the airbag ECU which I've replaced and got working again, the floor pan which I've had welded and the carpets which I've had to take out and allow to dry and clean.

They have also seem to have affected the infra-red receiver near the cabin light because the central locking doesn't work.

I didn't mind so much to begin with, but the drivers door lock seems to be wearing out now (as it locks the car but won't unlock it with the key) so I'm getting a bit tired of having to unlock from the passenger side, then press the central locking button to unlock the other doors (this still works) before walking around to get in the drivers side.

So far I have:
-Replaced the batteries in the key
-Tried reprogramming the key to the system
-I've tried 3 different second hand receivers (I refuse to pay £90 for a new infra red receiver from Renault, one of the second hand ones must work)

And it still doesn't work.

I put the original receiver back in the car as sometimes this one works for maybe half an hour then it gives up again for months at a time so I figure the receiver may be working to some extent.


Can anyone advise me on what I should look at next?

Where does the wiring from the receiver lead to? Could the problem be there?

Thanks for the help.

Please help! I bought a megane 1.6 16v 04 around a month ago, perfect on 2 test drives no unusual sound etc. On drive home car went into limp mode and toxic fume light flashed, garage said misfire on cylinder 4 so coil changed, car was fine. Then starting issues, car make a grinding noise if not going to start and will start first time if revved for few seconds, then when cold very juddery for awhile until warm, Judders when idleing and rev counter can be seen moving slightly whist doing this, sometimes only sat for half an hour or so before not staring again ( have read up on dephasher ànd not quite my symptoms) tdc cleaned up, no different. Sometimes sounds like diesel engine and sounds like it is struggling when being driven, other days drives fine. Another problem is it is loosing a fair amount of oil with no visible leaks. Is blowing smoke from exhaust looks white to me, hubby says it looks slightly blue, Have done spark plugs, oil filter, waiting for new ignition coils to come have checked for head gasket signs, can't find any! Car has stalled a few times, spoke to a garage who said that thought there was two different problems but would charge a lot just to look, some one else said piston rings so new engine and also toxic light has started flashing again! Please does any one have any ideas? Hubby will have a look at weekend buy does any one knowwhere to start! Thank you

I'm going to change the drive belt and power steering pump
I've looked every where on how to release tension on belt but can't find out how to
The only thing I can see is what looks like a 13 mm nut just above a plastic looking pulley wheel but it's in a very difficult position to release.
Any help and advice will be great

2010 Clio 1.2 16v Dynamique Stereo Fitting

Na' then!

Recently bought the above car, but upon trying to fit my old stereo back in, it won't power on, nor will the previously accessible TomTom work on the screen.
All I receive now is the time and the temperature.

Is there a knack to fitting these stereos so they don't interfere with the car's proprietary hardware?
I upgraded from a 2003 Clio 1.2 Authentique and the stereo worked without fault in that.

Stereo is a Sony DSX-S100.

Thanks chaps!

Renault Megane Copue 1.6 Year 2000 ABS Light keeps coming on

$

Hi first time posting here but I got a Renault Megane Coupe 1.6 year 2000 about a month ago.

Its a great going car but since I got it the ABS light and SERV light comes on the dash every so often.

Its not all the time but I checked the usual areas to see if something was wrong that was making it come on.

I found that the ABS reluctor ring on the driver side was broken so I ordered the part and changed it on Saturday past. The light then came on again that night after the ring was changed but went off after awhile like it normally does.

I checked the car again and found that the reluctor ring on the passenger side was fine with no cracks etc. but the CV boot had a tear in it and was pouring grease all over the wheel, ABS sensor etc.

I cleaned up the mess and got a new CV boot which I fitted onto the passenger side last night.

Today the light has came back on and I am completely lost on why or what to do. I can't find any relevant information to the Megane Coupe Year 2000 about ABS problems.

I have seen some threads saying to reset the ABS on the dash but this option is not available in my car that I know off.

The sensors seem in good condition and all the grease that had spilled from the CV Boot on the passenger side has been cleaned off them.

The ABS light and SERV light are not coming on frequently but I did see a thread that described the light coming on for awhile after the work is done as it adjusts to the changes??

I would appreciate any help or information that anyone has about this type of Megane.

Would the best option now be too leave it into a garage or is there possibly a simpler method (and less expensive issue) that could resolve this.

The only thing left for me to change is the sensors but I cant find any links to buying the specific ones I need for my make of Renault and year. Also the sensors do not appear to be damaged or in any way affected.

Again any help or tips would be great.

Thanks

The problem occured after the return hose from the fuel pump had fallen off and the car ran out of fuel.
Refilled diesel and bleeded the system, but will not start. It almost fires, but will not start properly.

-Has Read out rail pressure with data list on diagnosis to around 350-400 bar when cranking.
-Motor speed shows 3-400 rev. when cranking.
-Has Unscrewed a injector and put it firmly in the pipe with connector connected, to see if it squirts diesel, it does.
-Has checked timing belt setting.
-Checked and clened the EGR valve.
-Tried rolling start.

Anybody have an idea of what could be the problem?

ABS & Serv Lights On Briefly After Starting

Hi!

\\ 2005 Kangoo 1.5 DCi MPV

When starting up the Serv and ABS lights show briefly (two or three seconds) but then go out and don't show again. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this and / or how to stop it happening?

Neither light is on permanently when I first turn the ignition and wait for the glow-plug-light to go out, It's just after I've turned the key and the engine has fired up.

Thanks in advance.

Kangoo 1.4 Petrol, running very rough

2000 Kangoo 1.4 litre petrol.

Idles roughly, wont accelerate, backfires, horrible smells....

BUT, no fault codes on the scanner. Coil pack replaced with a brand new one, TDC sensor cleaned.

Where do I go next, any ideas? If there are no codes the garage suggests it is either injection of HT as everything else (according to the scanner) has no fault codes!

So, any idea what to do next.

Alternatively, is there a Clio engine that is a direct replacement?

Cheers

SERVICE LIGHT (Fixed)

$

Ever since I've owned the car the SERVICE* (not spanner sign) has been lit.
First problem was DF049 - Refrigerant Sensor Circuit, short circuit to earth, secondly, DF055 parking brake, low voltage.
A new 096 * not 027 (original) battery was fitted today even thought Halfords said the 027 was fine.
I gave the terminals + - a jolly good clean and fitted new 096 battery, Cleaned injection computer plugs with contact cleaner before battery fitment.
Next came card reader fault :confused:
All was not lost :cool: Out came the beast, and all faults cleared :d except the damn SERVICE light :confused:

What could be causing this ???? I was baffled by it.
I had a play today and looked at configuration of computers, seems I have Cruise control speed limiter. Errr no i don't !
Deactivated cruise control limiter and the SERVICE* light went out :d
Not a fault but a configuration problem.
All computers show no faults and correct voltage.
What a day !

Squeak in Steering

Hi I'm new to the forum and new to Renaults, my last car was a Vauxhall Corsa, not bad for 15 years old either.

Anyways I was driving around the town today when I noticed that there is a strange squeaking sound coming from my steering when turning either left or right.

It sounds like it's just coming from just behind the wheel itself but I cant be sure.

My car is a 5dr, Clio 05 plate 1.2

starter noisy after engine fires up

Hi All

My Sept 09 Clio III's starter is noisy, for a few seconds, after the engine fires up and runs. It would seem that the bendix is "dragging" and hence contacting the flywheel very noisily as it does so?

Or so I think...

It has about 47000 miles on it, and in pretty good condition.

What is the problem and any advice please?

Thanks very much!!

I have asked this once before without success so here goes again.

The fuse box in the engine compartment contains 9 relay slots with 8 of them occupied by relays.

despite extensive research I cannot discover what these relays do and would like to know.

Can anyone tell me?
