Nothing happens when I try to operate the lower roof button on my Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet. The fuse is okay and there are no beeps. If emergency mode is selected and I start the engine while holding the roof open button for 10 secs, the pump can be made to run and the roof unlocks at the windscreen top. However there is no further action and the boot lid doesn`t open or fold back. The boot lid works fine in normal mode. Does anyone know how to solve this problem please? (1.6 cc)

When trying to put the top down on my Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet 2Ltr dymanique petrol, I noticed that the back driver`s window was sticking and the boot lid would only lift up about 8 - 10 inches. We took the rear driver`s side panel off and noticed a wire had come off the spindle inside the panel. We placed the wire back over the spindle and the window started to go up and down as normal. When we had put everything back together we tried to put the top down again but still it only lifted the boot by about 8-10 inches. I lifted the boot lid this morning (3 days later) and the boot lid has suddenly become very heavy and will not stand up on it`s own. Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

HI. I have a 2003 Megane Cab. I had this problem for months and it drove me crazy. Then a mechanic told me that the Cam Sensor needs replacing. It is right at the bottom of the engine and gets full of muck and goes out of sync.

Hi all. My back windows are always playing up. I wondered is it possible to disconnect the back windows completely and have the roof still open and close?

Answers

Hi, I have the same recurring problem with my rear side window, I have to remove the seats and panel (about half hour job) then wiggle the motor and rectifier, this seems to sort it, it may be water getting into the motor and stopping it working or a bad connection. If this doesn’t work then you will need a new rectifier or get it repaired. Hope this helps. See the answer to Jak Ryder’s question, this may help - Shaun from Lancashire

Try using contact cleaner on the contact for the switch for the windows in the drivers door (in the panel). Because water runs down the inside of the glass and into the panel, the connectors can get water on them and need cleaning - Martin Brady from England

Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet 2004

Help, I have two problems. 1. The service light is on and an airbag light. The car does not require a service and airbag has not been used. Somebody has said it’s a wiring issue. Can I fix it or is this a garage job at a high price? 2. I have had all the windows repaired (regulator issues) during the last two years. Two weeks ago, the driver’s seat was saturated and I have water coming in from the door or window. Renault garage says this is a two day job - one day to test for water leak, order the parts, day 2 to repair. £68 an hour. Does this sound right or can a non Renault dealer do it cheaper? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Answers

Hi. Airbag light and service light will be down to a bad connection in the wiring socket under the passenger seat. This is for the occupancy sensor for the passenger air bag usually looking under the seat and wiggling the connector sorts the problem out. As for the driver’s seat being wet, my experience leads to it pointing to the sunroof, there are a couple of drain holes at the front left and right side, these get blocked and allow water to come in. Hope this helps - Neil Rees from Cambridgeshire

I had this airbag problem and was told it is common. Mine is a dodgy connection under the seat. It happens when I bring the seat forward to let people in the back. The way I have found around it is to disconnect the cable under the seat then reconnect it (with MOT fail, if you put it in with light on). Hope this works for you as well - David Beal from England

This is a comment, not an answer. BTW, thanks to those who have replied. I have just been told the leak is due to door seal needing replacing at a cost of £860+. The airbag sign is due to needing a new rotary arm - £220. I have asked garage not to do the work and will have to look at what I do next before selling the car. In shock! - Kathleen Davies from Carmarthenshire

Answers

Hi Ian, at present, I cannot answer your question, but I have the same problem with the boot opening re an intermittent fault. It actually sometimes opens whilst I am driving. I think that the boot switch / release may have to be replaced and I’m looking into costs. Also, as you will be aware, there is always a lot of moisture in the boot at this time of year, which may have affected the wiring. I’ll try to further advise. Regards - Derek Petrie from Dumbartonshire 

Thanks Derek, the boot won’t open at all with boot switch now and like your problem, it will open when driving. A new switch from local Renault dealer is about £28. I have ordered one for Sat 14 Jan ’12. Hopefully this will cure the problem - Ian from Sussex

Hi, I’ve just bought my Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet second hand and love it. However, I am starting to get a lot of condensation inside the car. I can’t find a leak at all and it does appear to be only condensation but need to do something about it soon as it’s becoming a pain. Can you give me some advise on what I can do about this please? And is this a common problem? Thanks.

Answers

It’s because the roof moves around a lot when you drive and air gets seeps in and out, I’ve only ever had a couple drops of water inside and that as after the heaviest rainfall I’ve ever seen the last month but I can always hear air - Colin McNulty from Sussex

Nonsense, it is because your seals, which conduct water away, are blocked and so let water back in. The tubes are behind the wheel arch covers on both sides. Remove wheel, remove wheel arch cover, clean drainage tube and remove any muck that could be in there. And then repeat on the other side. A long thin screwdriver is pretty good at unclogging the tubes. If you’re getting water in the footwells and from the sunroof/passenger light console this’ll sort it. I’ve had both issues and blocked drainage tubes are the cause of this - Renault Migrane-Owner as it says further down in this list of Q and As - Bilbo Burgler from Yorkshire

I have exactly the same problem, mine is caused by two water leaks where the rear windows meet the boot. I can’t see any water coming in but that’s where the condensation starts when it rains. I can’t see any water inside the car but the condensation is so bad I sometimes have to drive it with all the windows down so I can see where I’m going. Which isn’t much fun when it’s raining. Renault have been trying to fix the problem along with the other three leaks for over four years! I’m sorry it’s not much help - Suzanne Howey from England

My Megane won’t start :( When I put the key card in and press start, the dash lights up like a Christmas tree with every conceivable light possible. The engine doesn’t start. There is a dash message that says steering locked, and the next message is check roof hand book. This looks like a seriously expensive fault as I can’t get the car out of the garage. The automatic gearstick won’t move out of park. Any suggestions?

I had exactly the same problem in same year of same car (manual gearbox). It started on jump leads. Turned out the battery was done. I bought a new battery. I think it’s recommended you change the battery every five years. Get your alternator checked to ensure it’s delivering a charge to the battery. Also this week it refused to start, unrelated problem I think. The starter fuse has blown - Sean P from Northern Ireland

I had the same problem, found a blog where a guy advised to take the ECU out and dry it, took me 20 mins and worked - Paul from London

Hi, I am looking to purchase a Renault Megane Cabiolet 1.6 on a 04/54 plate. It’s done 75,000 miles, however the cam belt, pulley, alternator belt water pump etc were all replaced last year when the vehicle had done 45,000. In the last year it has done 30,000 miles as it was used for business purposes, my question is when should the cam belt be changed again ?

Answers

Belts need changing every 50k miles or every 5 years. Whichever comes sooner - Nick from Wiltshire

I am disappointed with trying to get my Renault Coupe 2005 keycard to work on my central locking. I changed the battery in the remote and tried to synchronise it but it is still not working. Help! Apparently only Renualt can help with a £95 charge...

Answers

Only a few weeks ago, it kept coming up that my card was not detected so I took it to get fixed and they told me that the chip inside the key has worn away and is not able to be read. This is maybe along the same lines? - Nichola from Northern Ireland

Every time I drive over 70 mph it makes a peep peep noise. Is this the case in every Renault and is it just to tell you that you are driving at over 70?

Sounds like you have the speed limiter set. To the right of the steering column and below, next to the dash dimmer and head light adjustment is a third switch for cruise control one way and speed limiter the other with neither set in the middle position - Mike Cairns-Thompson from England

I have same dilemma Deirdre... I rang the Renault dealer for a quote and they say that the parts will cost about £250 but they have no idea on labour as they never have done it before, but charge £50 per hour for labour in general. The Renault dealer in Donegal quoted me approximately £400 in parts and labour... Ket me know if you get anything sorted - Colette McGonigle from County Londonderry

Does anybody else have the same problem or knows how to fix it... When driving the car it sounds as if the roof’s plastics at the front of the car are screeching together or the glass is creaking - it is very loud and very annoying. HELP!!!

Hi, can anyone help? My bottom back seat is constantly wet! We have removed the seat and found a puddle of water underneath but are not sure where the leak is coming from. The roof doesn’t appear to be leaking, but when ever it rains then we find a pool of water where the seat should be. Could it be a problem with the troughs, where the water runs away! Please help.

Answers

I have the coupe cabriolet 1995. On several occasions I heard the faint sound of sloshing water. I have had problem of ingress of water soaking the floor and puddling behind front seats. Windscreen wiper motor failed and on removal of panels to access motor it was found to be lying in water which had drained from the windscreen and hadn’t drained away due to blockage in 2 drain tubes situated in the trough. The drain tubes cannot be seen or cleared without removal of panels. I have removed both of these drain tubes because it was impossible to clear them in situ and I have not replaced them. Since then the floor has remained dry - Frank Oxley from England

Thanks Frank and Nikii/ Our 56 plate CC has had some water leaking in around the clutch pedal for the last few weeks now. This results in a sloshing noise that may be heard in the cabin and around the dash area. After a car wash or heavy rain it enters the car in the driver footwell. I suspected the drain vents but was unsure and did not wish to start taking to bits if not the case. Off to do it now. Cheers - Tim Whitworth from Nottinghamshire

Can someone help tell me how to make this car wireless? Everything is perfect, just that in the manual it says I can start my car without using the card - but how do i do it? (2.0 2005)

Answers

As long as the car is ’remote’ simply keep the card in your pocket, approach the car and it should automatically unlock. Enter the car, sit down and simply press ’start’. The car recognises the card in your pocket!! Dave Daniels from Cambridgeshire

I have a leaky roof - I guess it’s the seal. Does anybody know how much it costs to replace the seals?

Answers

The roof seal has a design fault. I bought ours new in 2005 and eventually got a refund because they said it couldn’t be fixed - David Reardon from Yorkshire

I’ve had nothing but water leaks ever since I bought mine new in 2007. Renault have been trying to fix it for the last 4 years but all they do is cause more and more damage. The damage they have caused has been so bad they have had to replace the driver’s windows, respray the bonnet and fix all the scratches and dents they have caused. Their customer service is awful and they don’t care about their customers. I will never buy a French car ever again! - Suzanne Howey from England
