I've had huge problems with my Megane. I only bought at 64k 3 months ago and I'm having a nightmare. It's really struggling to start, and when it does it loses power or has no power when I put my foot on the accelerator. So I had a diagnostic and was told it was the dephaser pulley which...

Hi guys, bought a S/H Megane 2004 1.6 VVT, and from the day I bought it, its a bugger to start from cold. Doesn't matter how warm it is outside, I have to start it, immediately rev it to over 1300 rpm, and even then the revs wander all over the place. If I don't , it just dies. After about 30...

Hello, We have a Scenic II 1.6VVT it's an '05 with about 100k on the clock. It's been regularly serviced since we've had it (and before) but it has a strange idle problem. If it's pointing down hill, it idles absolutely fine, nice and smooth as you'd expect. If it's on the flat, it's okish but...
