Mine is on all the time now since fitting my decat pipe.

If you still have your cat in place more than likely a duff lambda sensor I'd reckon.

i have same car as you - mine came on 2 weeks ago! aa man came out just reset it! and i was on my way! then same thing happened the week after! so booked in to renault! who have fitted a new o2 sensor foc! under warrently get it booked in

COMMON FAULT

 

[bmh.01]

Duff lambda/duff cat, most likely lambda. You still under warrenty? If not I can read/reset the fault code to see if it comes back.

 

[clio_luke]

yep, if its a standard cat then it will be your lambada sensors playing up. same (usually) happens once a decat is fitted

 

[planetx]

if its the Lambda...the car will run like a dog...mine did.

could be igntition leads

 

[beechey]

reno have phoned the aa now and im waiting for them to come said they will be here at 15.00

 

[-Leigh-]

I had the problem, it was a spark plug. Though I had a missfire too!

 

[beechey]

a man has been came early to my surprise lol the fault was a p0325 which is a knock sensor???? the aa man has never heard of this have any of you?? any after reseting the ecu the fault has gone...

hope to never return

 

[bmh.01]

Just suck it and see for a while basically, see if it comes back.

The way renault say in the manual its the toxic fume warning light in the manual when it isn't only sets out to confuse people, as its actually the standard OBDII MIL light (fault light). Could be a variety of things other than exhaust gas faults.

 

[beechey]

done about 20 miles since error not yet returned ....

gotta nip to reno tomorrow to price me up on 2 of them 182 tyres so ill ask them about the knock sensor

 

[planetx]

are you on about EXALTO"S???.
If so I would stop of at the bank and ask the manager nicely for an extension on your overdraft.???? why?
Cos Reno will rip you off.

 

[beechey]

where do you reckon i should get them from??

 

[Brasseye]

anywhere else except ren. !!

I get mine from mytires.co then fit them via a local fitter whos not registered

 

[stinkee]

got mine from mytyres £90 each think renault wanted about 160

 

[planetx]

My local Reno wanted £155 per corner

 

[beechey]

s**t 90 is alot better than 155 a corner

Hi eveyone, was just wondering has ayone had the flashing light situation for this exhaust warning light? Ive got an 04 182 and literally just had the MOT done, ive never seen this light appear until guess when !! yep 1 day after the MOT was done by renault. Ive kept an eye on this and its only happened once more whilst sitting in traffic, i feel i should book it in asap, but i guess im just asking is it normal for this light to be inconsistent? This was measured since saturday just gone. Cheers for any help. J.

 

[beechey]

if its under warrenty then yeah defo

 

[jayce]

Yeah, ill check the situ, as i bought the car from renault a year ago, so out of its 3 yr warranty, but im sure i extended it. Many Thanks. J.
