ECU programming updates. There is 1 for the 1.2 16v (D4F engine) and 1 for the 1.4 16v (E4J engine) There are currently no updates for the 2.0 16v because none are required! Clicking noise when turning the steering is more than likely to be the airbag rotary switch (slip ring) located...

To avoid any unnecessary unpleasantries when leaving your car with a dealer, ask for the receptionist to do a tour of your car with you to note any damage present at the time of inspection. You both then will sign a form noting any current damage. This way they will note down (in front of you)...

So that didnt work! That must mean that there is a connection problem from the wiper switch to the trip computer in the dash! I will look up a wiring diagram and see if I can help you further. As your car is an import I cannot see a reason why it should not work! and am supprised by your...

Read your handbook. Tyre pressures recommended by the manufacturer should always be used. Look at the index and find tyre pressures, normaly at the front of the manual (page 3?) Oil recommendations should also be found in the manual. Most engine oils are compatible but only use COMMA to fry...

OK. More details required. Does the shake appear only under hard acceleration? Does it disappear when you back off the throttle? Is it in all gears at the same RPM? Is it in all gears at the same road speed? Love to help, bobRTE

Lets just get things in perspective. There are over 15000 different components making up the average car. 1 failure out of 15000 is quite a low failure rate. Enough said, but I do sympathise when things go wrong. Why do you think manufactures are now offering 3 year warranties. How...

The IR sensor becomes water logged due to water ingress from the roof aerial. Remove the aerial base via the interior light, 8mm nut (Socket size) and seal with silicon or other based sealer. Remove the pcb (PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD) from the receiver by carefully pressing from the front (dark red...

Water ingress can be caused by several things. The most important one is to make sure you have shut your windows, click start and then click shut down windows. Another posibilty is that the drain tubes along the inner sill panel have not become clogged with underseal from the factory or just...

Cheers for the vote of confidence BONDY. I will get the exact figures very soon! And the method for changing ride height! Honest! Laters Stoooopid bobRTE

Only cosmetic differences appear between these models. Bonnet, headlamps, rear lamps and interior trims. Same engines, gearboxes and running gear. Bob RTE

Sorry to say this again BUT IT IS ALL TO DO WITH SPLINES!!!!!:@ Peter pan is myth, so is the fact that I have no idea what I am talking about! The torsion bars have 20 splines at the central hub and 21 splines at the wheel end. Configuring these splines gives different ride heights. Call...

The temp gauge should always be between 1/4 and 1/2 whilst driving. It may go to 3/4 when in traffic. This is quite normal. BobRTE

Telford Mike is absolutely spot on. Renault do have an updated programme to download to your cars ECU to overcome this stalling problem. Take it back to your dealer and insist this upgrade is carried out. ITS free! bobRTE

It is definateley coming from the sunroof. No leaks but a gushing sound of water. Please watch this space for the solution early next week. Bob

Yep - you are right. It should work even though its an import. Try this. Press and hold the button on the end of the wiper switch, then turn on the ignition, the trip computer should go through a self test mode. Release the button and then press it again. You should now see some more...

Hi. If you have your ABS warning light illuminating, this suggests that there is a problem with the system. Renault dealers have a diagnostic aid called CLIP. It can interogate several computers and lead the technician to the source of the problem. Once it has been diagnosed the cure should be...

Trip computer not working. Please specify not working? Have you a series of dashes where you would expect to see some results? Can you run through all the options by pressing the button on the wiper stalk? I need more info to help you. BobRTE
