Re: Megane 1.5dci turbo does not kick in and max speed 60mph

Yes - possibly. There are at least 3 different configurations that I know of on the 1.5 engines vis a vis the EGR. Hopefully yours is of the type that is removed by unscrewing 3 bolts (they can be a bit a of a struggle to get out). Also check all the PCV hoses for a jelly like deposit, and inspect ...

Megane 1.5dci turbo does not kick in and max speed 60mph

So my car has been becoming a little less responsive pulling away but I assume I must be imagining it. Today: The turbo has stopped kicking in at all (also normally I would have black smoke from the turbo nothing at all now (as she isnt there..)) She is struggling to get upto 55/60mph and even that ...

Possible to fit Climate Control

With regards to Climate Control, I have aircon and wondered what would need to be changed to included climate control (the control box and the center facial are obvious) but wondered if anything else? If it can even be done? (oh and a side thought can anyone recommend good tyres at a cheap cost (not...

Re: Eddie's Megane Picture thread :)

I notice the screen in the roof (assume that is what it is) and want to mount a tablet in my car and wondered how you moulded it in there? Space to fit it in? and any other details?

Thanks

Re: Megane 1.5dCi Sticking in 1st gear

Have you checked/changed the gear box oil recently? Also - is it difficult to get out of first, or difficult to get into second (if you follow my drift)? One other thought - it might be that the clutch is not fully disengaging which could be a simple matter of bleeding the hydraulic circuit (or cha...

Re: Rear brake discs,

As the rears have the bearings in I would reccomend getting disks with the bearings already pressed in, nightmare trying to press the old ones in and chances are they'll nee replacing before the disks wear out.
