Looking at my engine today whilst it was ticking over and I noticed that one of the pulley's wasnt turning with the belt. The easiest way to explain, When your looking down at them its the one down the bottom nearest you. It looks like its part of a separate pump of some sort with 2 silver...

There. I said it first. :o Came out to my car this afternoon and quite obviously covered in snow, I cleared a bit then got lazy and figured the wipers would do the rest. Wipers got half way up the screen then stopped because of the snow. Checked the fuse - Fine Relay still clicking -...

Im getting a misfire and trouble starting the car. The plugs are NGK and new and the coilpack is new. But when i looked at the 'ht leads' they seem to just be wires with small plugs on them that are encased in small plastic tubs that dont seem to join anywhere, Therefor look like they cant...

Hi, My car wont start untill i hold the accelerator for a few seconds, otherwise it will just keep turning over and spluttering. Same when i roll up to traffic lights or slow down, The revs drop down and feel like it going to die. I have a misfire if this is related atall. Coilpack and...

Doubt anyone can help as iv had it in a garge and they found nothing wrong, But you never know on here lol. When i pull away from lights i feel like the drivetrain is shunting (engine, g-box mounts all new) like its moving. Even when im at high revs on the motorway in 4th gear or 3rd gear...

This has been the bain of my life and i dont know what it is. When i accelerate then let off the pedal something is moving back and forwards near the wheels on both sides. Almost like a top engine mount is away and the engine is falling back. But it it like its the wheels. A 'garage' checked...

Hi, The coil on the far left is bobbing up and out because the screw no longer sits in correctly. How do I create a new thread and is it possible to get the same sized nut but with a thicker thread? Also, With this coil being loose could this have broke the other coils cos there is a slight...

My coils were new last year and im about to replace the spark plugs tonight. But i get a slight shudder through the car every 3 seconds or so and the exhaust pops every 3 seconds. When i start the car, The revs are way below 500 for the first 3 seconds. Anyone shed any light on what it could...

Hi, Iv noticed over the last month that my gearbox feels sticky when going into gears, No trouble going in, Jut feels like somethings worn under the gearstick. Recent powerflex mount etc so thats all fine. What could it be? Bushes or selector of some sort? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a CV gone on my car, The boot is off and the grease is everywhere on the arms and wheel. I recently changed the dogbone to try and get rid of a suspect 'shunt' when letting off of the gas. The dogbone mount never changed anything and the other mounts are new. Could the small shunt...

Hi, Everytime i get my exhaust tightened up at the cat-midsection join, It sags within a week again creating a horrible blowing sound. Iv used different clamps, different sealent but it just collapses. All hangers are intact and new. Im thinking of cutting the flanges off and just putting a...

Hi, I fitted one of these today and my god, I would rather have the knocking that was happening before. The vibrations at idle is unbearable, glovebox rattling, rear view mirror shaking like mad!! Blip the throttle and it's fine, 2 secs after sitting at idle it starts vibrating like f**k...

I am looking for someone to supply me the small spring on the gearbox that returns the gearstick back as mine seems floppy and isnt ever in any particular position. This spring is clearly snapped so i am replacing it first, Dogmount has been replaced with one from Kamracing. Other than the...

Hi, Noticed my gearchange is a bit sloppy recently on the gearstick and noticed a 'movement' in the gearstick like the gearbox is moving around. Took the undertray off and found most of the stuff in the pics caked in oil/mud. The rubber boot on the gear selector looks split aswell? And...

Hi, When i change gear, generally any gear really, no matter how slow i let the clutch pedal out the car bangs into gear as if your lifting the clutch too fast. My girlfriend is a smooth driver yet it does it woth her aswell. All mounts, upper left, top gearbox and dogbone have been replaced...

of a dephaser pulley change on a Megane Coupe. Same engine near enough as you lot. Any idea what i should be paying? I hear its easier to do due there being more room therefor less labour? Thanks

Hi, Read a thread either here or another forum where someone had a slack gearstick (not the 182 mount issue). He replaced a small T-shaped bush with a hole through it for a rod of some sort. Does anyone know the part number or any idea where i can get it and its price? Its a 2.0 16v VVT...

I had the opinion from 2 garages and several videos here that my dephaser pulley was buggered. Quiet on start-up, noisy once heated, noise would disappear when over 2k revs. But yesterday after an oil change and about 30 miles i stopped to put petrol in, Started the car and i couldnt even tell...

2002 Megane 2.0 16 VVT Hi, My car recently started idling a bit strangely, When i first start it , It would struggle to stay idlin and sometimes the revs drop and cut out. When sitting in the car the revs drop slightly and raise again slightly and there is a strange 'wobble' like its...

Im in the middle of changing my upper gearbox mount (under battery). Iv done eveything except loosen the centre bolt. When i do, the the whole thread is turning and the rubber is twisting slightly. :( I've no idea what to do and might give up before i launch my socket set through my...

Hi, I bought my drivers side front engine mount around a month ago and fitted it. I have went out today to check my levels etc and the centre bolt looked loose. I went to tighten it with my hand to see if it would turn and the whole thread came off in my hand from the base up. I bought it...

Replaced my gearbox mount and upper engine mount but my car is still shunting and i can feel the gearbox 'swaying' underneath through the gearstick. I've checked the upper g/box mount and it looks ok, But i know with these things it can look ok but completely pumped. Anything to look for or is...

Hi, To help me find a problem can someone point out all the sensors MAF etc. And could someone also point out the IDLE control valve. Sorry to be a pest.

Hi, Im going to remove my throttle body tomorrow to clean it and hopefully that will stop the revs jamming at 2k. Thing is, My Megane Coupe has the throttle body at the back as opposed to the side and removing the box for the air filter was a job in itself. Anyone be able to give me a few...

I had my cat done about 2 weeks ago. The guy never fitted a gasket as he said it wasnt listed. Its the 3 pointed triangle flange on the the cat and he just put silicone on it. The thing is, When i accelerate now its like a whistling blowy noise like a turbo spooling up kinda noise. What could...

Hi, Wondering if anyone can help. Sitting outside the indian takeaway earlier my girlfriend and i noticed the car was idling ever so slightly at 500, then up a wee bit then down again. We could feel it through the car kinda bobbing about a bit and it feels like its not pulling aswell as it...

My Megane has a 2.0 16v VVT engine and has been causing me grief the last few days. The EML light would come on with the electronic warning light and the revs would jam at 2k revs. Would be fine for a while then do it again, Then last night it nearly put me through the window when it slammed...

I have a 2.0 megane with the same VVT engine as most 172's and the top drivers mount is bust. Best place to go get one and how much are they roughly? Should i replace the top g/box mount too? I have already done the dogbone 172 mount. Im gonna try and do it myself aswell. :S Sorry for asking...

Hi, Excuse me for being cheeky about asking for help so soon after joining but if this problem finally gets fixed, I'll be over the moon! I bought my 2002 Megane Coupe 2.0 16v VVT a year ago on April 13th. Ever since i've had it, Its made the noise as i never clocked on to the guy switching it...

Hi, I'll probably get hounded for this but i'll see how it goes. I've got a Megane Coupe :o 2.0 16v VVT and decided to sign up as im lead to beleive that it is the same/similar to the Clio 172 engine and gearbox. Since i've got a few problems with the gears and engine and the Megane Coupe...
