From personal experience an issue the the fuel pump itself will not normally throw a fault code on any diagnostic reader as they're not that complex (yet). Something more likely to give that kind of fault and a non-start/UCH fault would be the main control relays in the engine bay fuse box. Pull...

The dash gauge isn't a fair test as its pretty inaccurate due to the ranges being quite wide. Ideally, as uts a simple two wire resistance based sensor, you will need to look at the Injection ECU live data and graph it (if your kit will allow it) to look for signs of a signal problem. You have...

You need diags mate... Just pissing in the wind without it and guessing can be costly.

What engine?

The physical engine should go in on your MkII mounts and I love the tCe units (We have a MkIII on the drive and it's not fast but it's better than the vvc'd K4M IMO). They not boost monsters but are really refined in they way they drive so should go well in a slightly lighter Clio II. You may...

Generally the cooling fan switch circuit is controlled by the ECU and has a single temp sender located in the thermostat housing on the gearbox side of the cylinder head. A/C equipped cars are slightly more complicated though and there should be a surface temp resistor on the radiator frame...

A new UCH being fitted today... another £400 gone!

The flashing MIL is saying that the issue is something that can potentially damage the CAT and in these cases its normally coilpack or injector(s). A code reading session will no doubt say something like "Missfire on one or more cylinders" or "Generic ODB fault". If its got an ignition or...

Adam, As above, coil pack or possibly an injector matey. Mick

You need to be a paid member chap... honestly, its the best £12 you'll spend!

Sorry mate, its one of those days... just giving everyone bad news today LoL Got a Megane II back in that had a starting problem due to a corruption on the Can-Net processor and as the cost of fixing or replacing for new was seriously stupid we told him to buy a second hand setup. He did this...

Does it sit at a normal idle speed? Sounds like a slight leak in the inlet track to me.

The only way to ditch the auto wipers is to reconfigure the UCH and disconnect the rain sensor. Then it will work in a traditional way. Unfortunately all Renaults since '98 (Megane I) have had auto rear wipe in reverse when the front wipers are on and there is no way to disable this other than...

Sounds like a mech fault... Replace the selector with a used unit if you can find one breaking will be cheaper. From memory you've got to remove the knob to full dismantle the reverse mechanism. I'd start by seeing exactly what is abusing it to stick.

Do the water pump at the same time and try to use a genuine pump as cheap ones are cheap for a reason.

It's not a difficult/pricey job on these so don't be put off.

Honestly, guess work with problems like this does nothing but frustrate you and empty your wallet. Just get it plugged in and go from there chap. Mick Diamond Motors

It rarely works though as its difficult to get full penetration... Most times the weld ends up being as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

If you buy an after market stat be sure to fit a genuine seal as the Q&H seals leak after a couple of months. They're just under £5 from Renault but by the time you've bought it with a cheap stat you might as well have got the genuine kit. Mick

Its all about using the correct tool for the job and there's no shame in using a longer bar to get better mechanical advantage on an old, tricky fixing... Okay, a 1meter breaker bar is a bit OTT but there's nothing wrong with a foot long if it helps over a shaky 1/4 short ratchet. Always clean...

Yours really needed a new H02 sensor to Dave which made it even worse.

Some friend there - It's probably popped a fuse for the UCH - check the NSF dash fuse box. Why did he take a live from the central locking button in the first place, something wrong with the one already there with a dedicated fused link for a stereo? Mick

Seat out, covers off, swap units and then reverse process to refit Mick

We're still talking about his A/C here right? LoLz

Drivers side scuttle area... Easy to DIY Yes but it'll have to be before 5.30 in the week mate.

If in doubt mate change it. Genuine Renault items are around £6 but you don't have to use them as non-gen are just as good at around £4. They get damp and crud up which is normally the source of nasty smells starting (if it has a filter that is). You will deffo need a system cleaner in though...

In the old days codes were machine/manufacturer specific and the descriptions, whilst in the same area, could be misleading. It would appear you have a few issues: Brake pedal switch (mega common) SAS (fairly common with age) Can-Signal (needs further investigation) Mick

When I took the wife to the lakes in June there were loads of guys with cameras hanging around which made me wonder why. Then, around 4pm in Windermere I got an answer... x2 F15's, a some Typhoons hugging the hillsides. Apparently the Longbows use the route to but we didn't see any (probably a...

Check the fuses in the UPC under the bonet.
