still without car!!!

[tapper]

i took my car to the garage on thursday because the exhaust gas monitor light came on and had a loss of power :S and the garage said they still cant find out why this is. taking the p**s

 

[Beef-Mc]

I would suggest if your light was flashing then the coil pack was knackered.

 

[tapper]

it wasnt flashing "/ just constently on

Oxygen sensor.

 

[tapper]

just phoned the garage and he said he thinks the timing and slipped "/ whatever that means?

 

[fUbAr]

You would know if the timing was out by the way it drives/idles.

Lambda sensor(s) is my bet. Is it a specialist you've taken it too?

 

[todd100]

timing slipped? as in cam belt slipped? surely that would kill the engine?

 

[tapper]

its just had a new timing belt before i bought it two months ago :S so i duno, well it took it back to the place i got it to and he couldnt find the problem so he took it to a so called specialist

 

[todd100]

get the lambada done does sound like thats the prob, did you notice bad fuel econmy before it happened?

 

[Christopher]

They sound dodgy as hell.

Take it to someone that know what they're talking about.

IMO, when backstreet garages are baffled by a car's problem, they pick the most expensive repair by default.

 

[tapper]

well ive got probelms starting my car aswell, think i need to change the tdc sensor, and not really :S not sure tbh, some one said to me its possible it could be coilpacks need replacing, but tbh i havent got a clue about this sort of stuff

i took it there becuase its under warrenty, otherwise would of took it to a specialist

 

[JackJack]

no just spelling mistake lol why so funny anyway?

 

[Christopher]

Lambada sensor. lol

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

lambada sensor.
my dad had that problem with the dci.
bought new sensor from Renault , fitted it our self, and jobs a good'n

 

[Christopher]

I bet it was a right shuffle to fit?

Anyone know where tango for one?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

well, i took the dodgy one out, then got pissed of trying to fit the new one, realy aquard place to get to, so dad managed to get it in after 2 hours of f'ing and blindin at it.

never ever going to attempt to do it again, leave it to the experts

if it's still under warranty from Renault, let em sort it, other wise if you can be bothered to mess about fitting it your self, get one from europarts

Haven't you found out what the fault code is yet?

If theres a light up on the dash there will be a fault code that will tell you what the problem is.
