The Mégane II Owners' Club

After changing the dephaser myself and it lasting 2k miles before failiure I went to my local French independent who told me that after the dephaser is fityted it must be accompanied with a software update. Hope this helps

Have you tried swaooing the coils over to see if the fault moves, therefore identifying the naughty coil?!

I will get a few pictures up later, the ribbon is damed yes, the connections have come loose in the centre unit and pulled out, I cannot see how you would reattach it securely without bridging connections (solder etc). It has been folded around in every direction by the time the Mrs 'informed' me so...

Hello all, I am led to believe the Crankshaft Sensor on these Megane's is a common problem so you may have experience. Its a 2004 1.6 55k I have got a new crank sensor from Renault but it had to come with a modified/new wiring plug and loom which has to be joined to existing wiring. My question is w...

Here I am fixing this complete crock of sh!te again, My mrs had it given to her and it has probably cost me more in time and labour than buying her a decent VAG car :cry Its a 2004 1.6 55k This weeks issue is the clock spring/ rotary connector/ Indicator unit has failed, clicking and fetching the Ai...

You sir are spot on, wire broken on clutch switch!!! I owe you a pint

Dear oh dear what a finely engineered vehicle this is!! Now my Mrs has a starting issue which I believe is related to the electronic starting circuit and sensors... Unlock Car, Jump in car, insert bloody keycard, depress clutch and press the start button.... Dash display is saying 'depress clutch/br...

Hello all,

Doing a Dephaser/Cambelt/Auxhillary/Waterpump on a 2004 1.6 16v tomorrow..

I have all genuine renault parts and no gasket for the waterpump.

MAny Thanks for any Advice

Now I have had some problems with my Mrs' Megane BUT.... I have never had to sell dodgy shed prepared medicines to pay for the repairs!!!! Saying that the Timing Kit/Dephaser was quite a lot. Could I be your Welsh distributor?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You need to spend time sealing the frankly crap doors as you are wasting money fitting new motors/regulators. Door cards off and sealent everywhere and help the window seal with some black sealent also.

You sir are a gent, you have confirmed my suspicions. I thought it must be guessing at the issue!

I will research the locking kit I need and sort the belts and dephaser out.

Many, Many Thanks

Hello there,

Reviving this thread as I will have chance to tackle this beast in the next few weeks.

Is this the tool I need to be able to lock the camshaft in order to replace the dephaser pulley?

First thing I would be doing if you have checked all of the basics is getting it on a diagnostic machine and closely scrutinise the live data. Especially on AFM and O2 sensors.

From my experience today on my Mrs' absolute piece of sh!te... I have stripped the door card off (near side rear) found that the faulty window was due to water ingress that was quite substantial. Mine is coming from a gap in the rear window seal(small fixed part). The water has soaked the window mot...
