shoreham4eva Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Any chance of a bit more info eg. Petrol / Deisel, Dark or White smoke etc....any smells of burning etc. Could be something simple from Seals to something more sinister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoreham4eva Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Yeah check for burning smell and also under bonnet, white smoke or (steam) is never good as it's uaully an indicator of Water mixing in with your oil which is commonly down to a blown Head gasket.

kelly1980 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Ye, take off you oil cap (were you fill it up) if its a yellow mayonise, will most likley be you head gasket. Looking at anything for £250 to £400 for rapair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Why just Meganes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carboy42 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Not just meganes, renaults in general have engines generaly made of toffee, as are peugeots and citroens. Hey, all the French cars! funny that, they just give up lol No but seriously there better than they used too be but still pretty poor, mate of mine bought a brand new 307CC and within 1 year the engine sounded like an old singer sewing machine!
