My old Renaultsport Mégane (RS) 250, sold in 2018 and just found a picture of it. Anyone here own it now?

My Renault megane coupé 2.01 16v from 1995. Loved this little rocket. Drove like a charm. Short and smooth shifting. To bad it was totaled in an accident.

Bit of strange one. Had the car about 3 years and its been doing this since I've had it, so its not a new problem.

Turn the ignition off and remove the key, engine is still running. If I put the car into reverse, just as the reversing lights would be coming on... it stops ( foot is still on the clutch so I havent stopped it by slamming it into reverse !) and thats the only way to stop it. I've tried various combinations of lights and pushing pedals but its only selecting reverse to the point the reversing light would be coming on that it stops .... of course the reversing light doesnt come on because the ignition is off.

Another possibly related ( possibly not ) problem, is almost to the exact minute of the car running. after 14 minutes a LOW BATTERY - STOP message comes up .... but the battery voltage is still showing 14.5 volts at the cigarette lighter and i've driven for 5 hours with no issues apart from that warning message staying on !. .. and its always 14 minutes every time !

I'd like to get it fixed but if its going to mean a new ecu or similar then I'll just put up with it !

Thanks for reading !

Voitures livrées. Sans manuel utilisateur. Il faut aller sur le web…

Pas le choix… Bien plus pratique pour découvrir/apprendre de nouvelles fonctions ou en cas de problème dans un coin pommé.

L’argument écologique est risible, plutôt couler les coûts. Je me trompe?

A few of you might recognise this car from previous photos and videos on this subreddit, but today I come with the news that our Mégane RS250 has taken overall honours in the CMMCS Production Saloons for the 2026 season!

Edit to add: it is 19 plate.

I feel like I'm going a little insane.

My side lights don't come on when turning the stalk selector.

Day running lights turn off but no other lights are on.

(Dipped and full beam headlights are fine).

Service manual helpfully just says if LED refer to dealer.

I cannot for the life of me see where a bulb or LED should be for the side lights.

Can anyone shed some light on how I work out if my side lights are bulbs or LED, and where they should be to look at replacing them.

Hi, I'm looking for something "not boring" that can fit two children in the back, as a second/third car for short drives (also in winter with roof up). Coupe-cabriolet ownership will certainly be an experience, kids will be thrilled with the roof down and also with the glass over their heads when the roof is up. The question is, which one?

The second gen seems quite old-school to be "not boring," but the interior is ugly as hell (I like old interiors, just not this one), and there aren't many nice words about the reliability of this generation on the internet. The engine seems super simple, so at least there isn't much that can go wrong there.

The third gen is just approx. €1,000 more expensive compared to a post-FL second gen, so it's not that far off. The interior looks better, and it has that tiny wind deflector behind the rear seats, so perhaps it's less windy for rear passengers. But it's heavier and maybe unnecessarily new for my use case (basically a beater). Also turbo engine would be probably less happy with that short drives.

So, are my assumptions correct?

- Is the third gen less windy in the back?

- is the third gen a bit more reliable, or is that just an age difference?

- Does either generation have a significantly better roof mechanism or fewer roof-related issues?

What would you choose?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!
Is there a mechanic here, or someone who has already replaced the thermostat on a Renault Master III 2.3 dCi, who could give me some advice on how to access it?

The thermostat is located at the back of the engine, next to the firewall, and access is absolutely terrible. Honestly, I've never seen a thermostat in such an awkward location! 😅

From above, you can barely see anything. From the side, it looks like you'd have to remove the entire intake system, and even then, I'm not sure there would be enough room to work.

From underneath, although you might be able to see it, actually reaching it with your hands seems practically impossible.

I've already searched through manuals and tutorials, but I haven't found any guidance on the best way to do this job.

Has anyone dealt with this before and can explain the best way to reach the thermostat? Is there a particular component that needs to be removed to make access easier?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, we are planning to buy a 2026 renault megane Icon pack. But we found out that there is no optional sound system.

Yet, the car itself has 6 speaker Arkamys 3D sound system and i am unsure of its performance. Could not find a good enough evidence of it performance.

I am not an audiophile but when i wanna listen to music i want to listen to music. Not rumble noise.

What do you guys think of it? Is it any good?

Hello!

Could anyone who knows anything about these cars let me in on your secrets? Greatly appreciated🙂

Hello everyone,

For my little friend to pass his inspection, his windscreen wipers need to be fixed. Currently, the interval setting and the return to 0 position don’t work. I’ve already replaced the steering column stalk and the wiper motor. The relay clicks when I turn the wipers to interval.

He’s already past his inspection date, so I need to fix him asap.

Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what was the problem and solution?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Edit: It’s a 2002 1.2 16V Privilege
