Title: Renault Specialists in Birmingham
Post by: swf7y on October 25, 2010, 03:02:42 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know any Renault or French car specialists in Birmingham?
My girlfriend has some problems with her megane and no mechanic seems to know what it could be  :confused:

Basically, the engine management light flashes and the engine judders...

Any help welcome.

Thanks  :happy2:

Erm... I think I'm being extremely thick here but I can't understand what you said! :confused:
I've tried the site but it's not working properly on my phone, will have another go when I turn the PC on.
BTW, it's only a 1.6vvti 2003 plate.

if you put some decent fuel in, you take it out and redline it a few times, cleans out the cat, could work, does it just do short journeys? sorry for not making sence :signLOL:

How old is the Megane - and petrol or diesel?

The petrols have issues with the throttle valve butterfly gumming up - and the wank cleaning fluid which Reno officially suply isn't actually suitable (rots rubber seals)!

Diesels have turbo issues and EGR issues.

T_T it's a 2003 1.6 petrol engine. One mechanic said it could be the throttle body but wasn't sure.
