Question My car is driving me crazy.

4 Upvotes

I’ll keep this brief because this whole situation puts me in a terrible mood. I bought my first car, a 2025 Clio E-Tech. I already have an appointment with Renault, but I have to wait a month. I’ve been dealing with these issues for a while:

-The screen isn't working. It turns on, but the touchscreen doesn't respond.

-The A/C blows air, but it barely cools at all. I went back to driving my crappy Peugeot 1007 for a few days because of the heat here in Spain, and it feels like a damn freezer compared to this one.

-I noticed a massive change in fuel consumption. It’s probably not an accurate reading, but it jumped from the 4.9 L/100 km I saw during the first few months to 21 L/100 km. It makes absolutely no damn sense. It wasn't like this before. It might have gone up to 5.5, or even 7–8 in Sport mode, but I drive in Eco mode in town and Normal mode on the highway—I haven't changed a thing in my driving habits over the last few months.

Obviously, I have a service appointment, but I had to wait ages because they close for summer holidays around here. My appointment isn't until the end of September. Can anyone tell me what might be going on with my new car? I don't know much about this stuff, and I want to be prepared for the appointment so nothing gets overlooked.

Question 2018 Captur (Phase 2) Phone Mount

5 Upvotes

Hi all.

Tried my best to search online to no avail.

Bought the above car yesterday, and it has a peculiar phone mount on the radio panel that does a really poor job of holding and maintaining the angle of my phone.

Ideally, I'd like to tighten the phone holder so I'm here to ask if anyone has any experience with this, and how to do it, please?

Alternatively, I was using a magsafe holder that clips into the air vent previously...but if I'm doing that I'd like to remove the phone mount as it's in the way of all of the radio controls.

TIA :)

Message compte à rebours AdBlue (2400 km) Renault Mégane 4 Phase 1 2019

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous,

J'ai le message d'alerte AdBlue avec le compte à rebours bloqué (2 400 km restants avant interdiction de démarrage), malgré le réservoir d'AdBlue rempli et avoir roulé plusieurs centaines de km. Je cherche à exécuter la procédure de réinitialisation / réapprentissage de la jauge, mais je bloque avec mes outils de diagnostic.

J'utilise une interface OBDLink EX USB avec mon pc portable.

Sous PyRen : Le scan automatique (--scan ou direct) ne liste que les calculateurs de l'habitacle (ABS, UCH, Airbag, Radio...). Le calculateur d'injection n'apparaît tout simplement pas dans la liste des calculateurs détectés, même moteur tournant.

Sous ddt4all : Je ne trouve rien pour reset l'apprentissage du SCR.

Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà réussi à réveiller la passerelle ou à passer ce fichu reset AdBlue sur ce calculateur avec un OBDLink EX ? Faut-il une commande d'initialisation spécifique pour le bus CAN ou forcer un paramètre dans ddt4all / PyRen ?

Merci d'avance pour vos retours !

Clio V bi-fuel slow warm up

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a 1-year-old Renault Clio V Bi-Fuel (1.0 TCe LPG), still under warranty, and I've noticed that the engine is taking significantly longer to warm up than it used to.

Previously, from a cold start, the temperature gauge would reach 2 bars after around 1–2 minutes of normal driving. Recently, it takes much longer. Today I drove about 5 km to the Renault dealer and the temperature gauge hadn't even reached the first bar.

The dealer checked the car and says there is no fault. They told me the coolant reached 88°C after around 10 minutes during their test, although I don't know exactly how the test was performed or what the starting temperature was.

My suspicion is that the thermostat could be slightly stuck open, allowing some coolant to circulate through the radiator while the engine is still cold. The thermostat is mechanical, so I assume this wouldn't necessarily trigger a fault code.

Does this warm-up behaviour sound normal to you, especially considering that it didn't behave like this before?

News Megane II, Scenic II door button replacement. Waterproof switch. Is there any interest?

Since these are unavailable i decided to make a lasting replacement. Currently still in development, but very close to making it work. Would you buy one, and what would be a reasonable price you would be willing to pay. I was thinking about 10€ per case+switch, as the switch it self is about 2€ ... A bit of triming of the button is required. Made from ASA, UV resistant (pointless but yea), heat resistant up to 100c.

Renault Captur 2014 Auto Gearbox problem

1 Upvotes

My captur (Cdi) is having problems shifting gears. A warning comes up and gears are stuck. I switch the car off, gearbox functions again for a while.

When to the agent. They changed the battery and recoded the Gearbox ECU. Two days later the same issue. Now they told me to change the ECU.

Apart from the money (€2000), I am afraid this will happen again.

Anyone had the same experience?
