[quickshift]

hi people wondering if u can help the 182 just done 36002 miles and today the service light came on along with a orange light in the top right hand corner of the dash looks like a man in a seat with a circle infront of him the car is booked in for its 36k in 3 weeks time, but does anyone know what this fault is

Airbag , the SERV light does not mean Service it means there is a fault LOL

At 36k a "service required" indicator light will appear on the dash on some vehicles - thats because its due its 36k service interval. It can be knocked off manually though without having to have it done at a main dealers. Get the fault checked at Renault are a specialist that has a "clip" diagnostic computer

i no mate but just funny that its due a service so its the airbag can i fix this ??

 

[Graham Gooch]

This never happened on mine

 

[Graham Gooch]

If its under warranty just take it to Renault and let them sort it LOL

well its going for a service anyway!

haha ok ok can i fix this airbag fault anyone

 

[MATT BLACK]

yes you can fix it - the thing is whats causing it ? when an airbag light flashes it could be one of 8 - 16 circuits that have been broke and need sorting. The most common fault is the pre-tensioner wiring loom under the front seats coming loose due to the seat moving backwards and forwards / tilting to let passengers in the rear of the car. It could be a seatbelt pre-tensioner that has fired off if youve hit a pot hole ?? a clip diagnostic will detect which circuit has broke and then you know which part to replace.

PS - if one of the tensioners has detonated it will get expensive

thanks matt ill get them to look at it think its to do with the seats as it came on after i let everyone out of the car then restarted it etc

just fiddle with the connectors under your seat mate, trust me my old clio did this all the time, just push the connectors together, i know they'll be together but push em anyway and "wiggle" (technical word) the wires entering the plugs either side, should turn the little man off then.

Low engine oil level do make this "SERV" light on. Check the driver's handbook, it tells in the engine oil section.

I had this light on yesterday. But off after I parked for 2 hours. Seems engine oil level is low, but where does the oil goes??? First time happen to me :-(

I've driven for nearly 12k miles with this light on.

Bovered?

After wiggling the wires a bit it might take a few mins for the lights to go out. Mine always does this, it's a right pain, but the lights do go out eventually.

Cheers, Rob669

As said it'll most probably be the wires under the passenger seat, very common thing. They just come loose with the seat moving.
