  • Help! Head seal def. – Which parts? etc.

    Hello together, on my Megane (1.6L 75PS EZ 6/1998, SchlNr. 3004/750, 110tkm) the head gasket leaks (looks at least after it, because there is a lot of air(pressure) in the system and the pumping system fluctuates and the heating suddenly gets cold. Don’t think that this can only be the thermostat.) On the occasion I want to renew the timing belt, wapu and thermostat In search of parts I have seen in various internet shops that for the motor e.g. . Head screws from 3 different manufacturers from 18 to 70 euros are offered. With one set there are extension screws. That should be all extension screws or? And with the head seal and WaPu it is similar to the prices. Supposedly all original equipment quality. Can someone tell me if I can just take the cheapest, or the middle? Expensive does not always have to be better… Oh yes, and the thermostat has different diameters for the engine type. Where should I w what does it fit if I don’t break it up first? Does anyone know advice? Do you have information about the moments of suit etc. ? A thousand thanks already!

  • Brake message after brake disc and plate exchange, workshop tells funny things

    Good day, it’s not about my megane (to happiness) but about the Scenic II of a family member. According to information, the brakes were slow, so the car was brought into the workshop (free). After that, the car was driven for about a day until the brake control lamp started. So let it be checked again to the workshop and the facts. Then received the following statement: – brake cylinder broken – half of braking fluid is missing already – to change this cylinder If you want to protect my family member from a stupidity, you might be able to help here. Clutch and brake cylinder? Is there something to it? Must the Scenic II from 2005 actually be removed clutch (and even gearbox) to get to this cylinder? I mean – the bonnet is already very small from the place, but that sounded pretty funny to me. Thanks in advance.

  • Open vehicle without key card

    Hello together, I have a Megane Grandtour 1,9 dCi. To this question or problem: I am with the car of the often during camping holidays, valuables and div. other objects I then always store in the car, only by constantly opening, close with the key card it has happened several times that after 4 to 5 days (about 20 times up and to make) the battery was flat and the car has not started. Is there any trick as I get the trunk without the key card (electronics) open, or can I deactivate somehow the whole interior lighting and other things that are turned on when the card is activated? Does someone have similar experiences or a good tip as I can handle it all. Have already thought about whether one can act against the problem by various fuses, only which would be that I have to pull out?

  • Renault Captur TCE 120 Automatic – Gearbox Problems

    Hello – with my captur at just under 63Tkm in the last 5 days have stayed 2 times. Both times the automatic transmission has been on strike, while the ride on the highway in D suddenly appears on the cockpit display N, engine howling up and that was it. After that the vehicle can no longer start, no gear change, only to tow off. At Renault has been tested, control unit of the transmission reprogrammed and learned – of course against payment – with zero result, remained today and had to be towed off – a high on the ADAC! Have already contacted Renault in Brühl that the vetrauen in the mill is absolutely gone. That nothing finds itself in the error memory of the control units, is not really positive to me! Has ever experienced such a similar thing or an idea, what should go on here or what one should look at., the Werstatt is without advice, the cable tree has been tested and found for good. My trust is gone. Rejoice me about positive and helpful feedback from the community!!

  • Renault capture window lifter problem

    Hi I’m new here …. It’s about a Renault Captur bj.2013 Have there ever been a question of window lifter function driver’s side…. During the ride, the disc suddenly goes down… Is fun when it’s raining… Can’t be driven up again for a short time… takes a few seconds… and you can either pull the switch up or push down and the disc drives up… My wife drives the car…. Did I have a switch removed… I drove to Renault to buy new switch 37 Euro ca … In time my wife comes from work… Window lifter has gone down again… And that without switch..????????? And that’s what again a rod money cost … what I didn’t see the car from 2013 so slowly one should know the sources of error from this vehicle?????? Renault says of course? first we have to look for the error and replace different parts? What of course a rod money cost … what I didn’t have to see the car from 2013? but what on the driver’s side?? What is it all?

  • Renault Kadjar – Your experience with the car

    I hope for experience, exchange, suggestions, criticism, praise, etc about the Renault Kadjar! I myself drive a Renaut Kadjar, experience, plus all packages, gasoline, first registration July 2017. After about 9000 KM I can draw a first intermediate conclusion. Very annoying was that always creaking noises from the dashboard were heard, from the direction of the glove compartment. Renault workshop of course too stupid to get rid of that…. but the man himself is: lower hinges in the had shoe compartment neatly greased and left and right the locking mechanism with felt glued pieces… and rest is, apart from quite occasional “temperature cracking”, but that’s normal I think. Otherwise, the Kadjar is a super car, the gasoline engine and the seats are absolutely top, the vebrauch lies so between 7 and 8.3 liters, depending on the driving distance and way…. which I consider to be ok. After setting off the knarzerei I can only recommend the car, the first to buy the groovy of the Renault workshops. But I can say something about the company.

  • Side window passenger door bursts suddenly while driving

    Car wheel on the passenger side burst suddenly when driving on the A23 at 100 km/h the right lane. Added highway police Elmshorn determined no external fault but material errors or disc with too much tension originally installed. Thousand small glass parts flew in the interior and exterior parts damaged the paint up to the rear wheel. Luckily no passenger was sitting in the car. The car was bought new, 2.5 years old and a Renault Kadjar. Question: Has this happened to you already? Will probably with Renault and the insurance Verti have a dispute who pays something.

  • Brake discs at the Renault Kadjar

    Hello, have a Renault Kadjar BJ 15 drove 37000km without any problems up to now. So I am 65 years rather the cozy driver. When changing tyres in Nov. I noticed that the disc brakes are quite finished and also in the workshop they told me in the summer 2020 at the next inspection you have to change the ones.. I was quite surprised that the discs have driven down so. Are the discs too soft or the blocks too hard or whatever!!! New discs are available from many manufacturers from very cheap to very expensive.. Now my question…what would be recommended to me… and no it is not my driving method!!! Mfg

  • Display Heavy transmission problem

    Today when driving suddenly the engine went out, left large red display with the indicator heavy gear problem and a red stop. Then the vehicle could drive to the right. Nothing went on and in addition the message that there is a mountain approach problem. After two minutes it went again. I had the same problem two weeks ago already, where I wanted to drive to work in the morning. Then drove backwards from the parking lot two meters forward and then nothing went on. The workshop is baffled and when reading out no error was shown.
