Niamh Healy Thanks darling you guys stay safe too, pretty crazy times. Because my wife is a key worker apparently my daughter has to go to school although I rather have her home, hey Mechanics will be way more fun go for it 😊👍👍👍

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

I really don't understand that! For key workers it's more important to keep their children home so they're not out picking it up and bringing it home. I understand that some may not have an alternative but the ones who do should be given the choice. I don't think Boris gets that concept 🙄 Normal rules don't apply right now, you do what you have to do to keep your wife and child healthy 😉♥️

Nice find. This effect of kg/h rising by itself when idling is egr valve opening and closing. You could probably try to clean egr valve to gain more power. It is known issue on k9k engines.

[@CarsExposed]

Thanks mate, absolutely when I was quickly touching the accelerator the EGR was opening slightly I guess, I wish I had to put the EGR figures on the screen ... cheers 👍👍👍

Wow,235k miles is very respectable mileage for them motors. I have Scenic IIIph2 2013 with 1.5 110 hp k9k 636,148k miles. Factory turbo and clutch.Engine runs perfectly so far,no oil consumption,exhaust is clean ( good sign,Fap filter is working well)

[@miki476]

@@CarsExposed Same here,except the fap pressure sensor and those rubber pipes next to it i didnt touch anything under the bonnet ,except the usual wear&tear.Got the car with 90k miles from main dealer over 2 years ago,so i did put a fair mileage on her(went trough Europe ,etc.)My brake pedal is getting a bit soft lately.Changed frond discs&pads,braking fluid,issue is still there. I suspect that ABS pump is going,or there is still air in the system. Will try to bleed the pump with PyClip eventually.Braking power is good,just pedal is soft.Great car otherwise

False air frustrations. Maybe opening the split to a greater or lesser degree as the engine torques on its mounts. Sorted. Cheers Igor...Nice Vid.

TheGibby3340 I think you are right that was happening too, the split was almost unnoticeable if you not looking for it but when everything is shaking about 👍👍👍 cheers mate

[@josepeixoto3384]

It also might have a tendency to close when it's pulling a lot of air,due to the suction.

[@brightongapare522]

Good for you yours is driving lovely. mine is a 2010 one. Every winter I have trouble with it. It judders every time I accelerate uphill, especially on the motorway and suddenly loses speed and smokes like it choked. The stop + engine failure hazard + wrench comes up for less than a minute and says check ESP then we can continue being friends. In summer I don't feel it doing these tricks and I can feel the power and sinking-in-seat effect. What could be the problem with megane?

I taught it was the high pressure pump I bought another the same issue.

I have the 1.5dci 6 speed auto box. Had the car from new ( 2014 ). The box has always been troublesome as it’s all electronic. It screams in 1st or 2nd gear then lags If you need to pull off. Had the parameters reset so many times but no difference. I know it preselects the next gear but it should recognise when you slow down at something like a roundabout then put your foot down to go, it lags and doesn’t go straight away Had a few times when something is coming towards me and the cat doesn’t want to go lol

[@CarsExposed]

Lol yeah I hate those manual gearboxes with electronics actuators they are not very nice to drive like the proper automatic ones , I did own one for about 4 years and I always used the flappy paddles instead, it was a little bit more bearable with the flappy paddles 👍

Did you had any problems with start (cold or hot)? I have loss of power in 1.5 dci 110 Laguna 3. What I noticed is lowered top speed (170 instead 190 km/h) and I have to start the engine about 3 seconds. Pressure on CR rail low increase during start.

[@musguelha14]

Did you figure this out? Having similar issue

@@musguelha14 in my case it was: broken insulation on injector wires + their plugs, broken exhaust gases temperature sensor (it gives data but not real) + its plug, cut/damaged wire on the turbocharger electronical valve (next to the air filter). I made new cabling and car behaves much better. My max is 180 km/h now but I still wait for this exhaust gases temperature sensor so it is not finished but way better.

I have the same car, same engine with 150k miles and I have a small issue with it. As the temperature got up to 20-ish degrees these last few days I noticed the cold engine idle was fluctuating a bit. Right after a cold start it idles funny. Doesn't sound like a misfire, it's more as if I was pressing the throttle and letting go immediately. Glow plugs check good, plus it didn't have this problem during the winter. The problem disappears after 30 seconds at idle. Drives fine. Could that be EGR related?

[@CarsExposed]

ast5515 Very interesting I guess if the EGR is sticking closedish that could happen the part I don’t understand is the change of temperature affecting it, what I’ve seen before is electronics componentes failing more specific cracked soldering joints with the rise in temperatures ... my approach is always look into the live data and try to see anything out of the ordinary...
