I have a Metallic Grey 2016 ('66 plate) Renault Trafic Sl27 Sport Nav Energy 145Dci which has currently covered approx 36k miles. At the beginning of March an overheating light came on. I was near my local garage (non Renault) and they recovered it and found that a major pipe/hose had been worn...

Hello everybody, I have a Megane 1.5dCI from 2004 that I bought a year ago and this weekend I had a problem with its coolant. The coolant was changed by me as soon as I got the car, actually all fluids and filters of the car, and the coolant system always worked very fine (no leaks, good heat in...

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me. I have just bought a 161 Trafic. The coolant level is dropping every couple of hundred miles. This drop is slight but it is dropping. Renault changed radiator under warranty but it's still dropping. Now they say everything is fine. I use the van as a taxi so I...

Hi there, Own a 2000 Renault Master 2.8dTi. Have been trying now for a few weeks to work out why the Coolant Temperature Warning Light comes on after I start driving. The temperature gauge rises to a 1/4 - doesn't sit in the middle and for a while everything is fine and no light comes on. After...

Hi. Can some one please tell me where the temp sensor is on my 05 1.9dci trafic. And is there any other temp sensors in here? I've had a look around here and the engine bay but I'm stuck. Ta Daz

Got a very slight coolant leak on wife's Espace. 2.0dCi engine, 150ps. Basically having covered about 5000 miles between checks it's lost half the volume of the expansion tank, maybe 1-2 litres. It's not dropping on the ground/undertray that I can see so I think it's going somewhere 'hot' and...

Hi, Well I just got given a car and I have been checking it over. It's a 2004 grand scenic 1.6. Basically I just went to check the coolant and can't see any in there! The problem is I can't see what colour was used. I just wanted to ask what can I do? I have some green coolant but I don't...

Hello, I have a 2007 Renault Trafic van. When the van is idling everything is fine. When I drive the van everything is fine, temperature gauge is half way as normal but every couple seconds the STOP light and the red engine management light comes on flashes off and repeats. Flickering. To me it...

Hi all. Being new to Renault and want to double check. Seems to me as the reservoir is empty , (this is coolant reservoir right?) Not sure. Does it need to top up? Picture included. Thanks

Hi, can someone tell me the capacity of the engine cooling system for a Scenic 1.5dci 2008 reg. and how much antifreeze i will need for the correct concentration. Will i need any specific Antifreeze? Thanks.

Hi everyone thanks for taking the time to look and help. I recently purchased the vehicle and the coolant gauge doesn't move off the first bar and start to reach the middle of the gauge. I disconnected the temperature sensor and the gauge finally moved to the middle after 30 minutes of...

about 2 years ago I had my coolant changed at the dealership and didn't make note of what the coolant level was at. After about 6-8 months I noticed coolant level was at the minimum mark. So, I topped up with genuine renault coolant to the max line. I monitored it for about a year and level...

Hi guys, just had the timing kit, v belt, water pump, antifreeze and thermostat changed. As far as i remember there was a chance of loosing coolant after the change however not sure about the reason. I did 100 miles highway trip yesterday ( after the change the antifreeze was in mid level) i had...

I have a Clio 4 1.5 dci -13 When I bought this car it followed a hose heater with a built-in circular pump.

I want to completely flush the coolant in my 2.2 DCI (150 bhp) engine and refill with fresh stuff. Back in 2009 member WebCode responded to a similar query by saying "There is NO drain plug.. You just pull the bottom radiator hose off, remove the header tank cap and let the coolant drain out."...
