Advantages and disadvantages of Renault Megan 3 Universal and Hatchback identified on the basis of feedback real owners. More detailed advantages and cons Renault. Megane 1.6, 2.0 and 1.9 gasoline and diesel engine with mechanics, variator and front-wheel drive can be found from the stories below:

Ownership reviews

I bought a car in the car dealership from 0 km run. Motor - chain, box - variator. Then every 15,000 km. Fuel consumption on the highway at a speed of 90-110 km / h is equal to 6.5-7.0 liters per 100 km, at 110-140 km / h - 8-9 liters.

The road keeps perfectly, explosive on overtaking, the variator works very well. When running 120,000 km, replaced the rack of stabilizers (2 000 rubles with work). At 150,000 km, the check caught fire. The error swears on the strap zombie. Did not change until now. The flow rate and dynamics do not affect.

When running 200,000 km, the salon stove (heater motor) refused - the cost of the stove motor from 10 to 20 thousand rubles. 250,000 km went over the front suspension, replaced brake discs, racks, filter and oil in the variator. All this with work in the amount of 65,000 rubles. Now mileage 280,000 km.

To the advantages of the model will take challenges, strong suspension, comfortable salon, the ability to refuel with 92th gasoline.

The disadvantages are poor availability to detail when replacing and lacking space to large passengers in the back row.

Video Feedback

Huge salon + a lot of space for the driver and passenger. Behind you can walk / drink vodka / play on the accordion. An unusually comfortable landing at my 185 cm and 115 kg.

Ergonomics on 5+, all at hand, all at the distance of an elongated hand, no need to tear back from the seat to reach the necessary buttons. Pedal knot - feet stretched, the seat is long, the left leg can be completely elongated. The platform for the leg (left) somewhere recessed away, just at a distance to the leg "rest." All compute and audio control on the steering wheel is very convenient.

On the run. I got a machine with low profile rubber, Therefore, noise is heard, the junctions of asphalt and vibrations are felt on the steering wheel. A very sharp steering wheel, as in Alpha Romeo, do not specifically smoke at the course at a speed of more than 120 km / h. But the city is her native element, but for the track, I would like the steering wheel on this. It does not fall in turns, there is no swing, the reaction is instantaneous.

The gearbox in the engine in the engine ... I cried, crying and drove, then I cried again ... 6-alar gear, city, 50 km / h, you are going, and in the cabin only a squeak of a computer - "Switch down, learn to ride!". But now I'm used to, everything is fine.

Review of Renault Megan Universal 1.9 Diesel (125 hp) MCPP 2012 G.V.

Surprisingly, "French" is adapted for our operating conditions better than many cars russian assembly. He has a fairly large ground clearance - 160 mm, already in the middle configuration Confort there is climate control, heated front seats, mirrors and windshield in the wiper zone. It is bad only that ESP is available only as an option for the top package, although without it, the handling is not bad.

The salon looks more expensive than it is in fact, the plastic is almost everywhere hard, although a good in the invoice, the assembly is neat, it will not creak anywhere else. Noise isolation is good, even when driving at high speed in the cabin quietly. Salon behind the back is cleared, the landing is comfortable in front.

The 2-liter motor ensures excellent dynamics, while unpretentious to the quality of the fuel, it works fine on gasoline AI-92. True, his appetite is also not bad, it eats 12-13 liters of fuel in the city, on the highway about 8 liters. Megane has a very comfortable suspension, energy intensity is not inferior to crossovers.

Sergey, review about Renault Megan III 2.0 with Mechanics 2014 GV

Access to aggregates in motor compartment - It is difficult to climb himself - not easy. The variator ... I did not understand it. You can adapt, but the bad "eco-friendly" settings (all the time strives to fall at 1500 rpm), a simple automatic machine is more logical. True, thanks to the variator, consumption even in the city no more than 8-8.5 liters. On the highway, at speeds 120-140 - the same.

Landing is not bad, but slightly a stock over your head and a flat pillow - you eat. Although it is a matter of habit. Throw from behind. The rear seats do not fold in the trunk. The pedal node is convenient, overview and in the mirror - good, back, traditionally for modern - bad.

The pluses of the car include trouble-free, reliability, efficiency, silence in the cabin, inexpensive, and in general, parts and service. The car itself does not attract attention. Well prepared for winter - anticorrosive, powerful stove (as well as the climate in summer), armored tape in the rear arches, fenders, etc.

The owner rides on hatchback Renault. Megane 1.6 (114 hp) CVT 2014

Renault bribed me the exterior. More precisely, the face. It hurts it is good. On the side of the car looks not so impressive. It's true. In the cabin there is enough space. As in the trunk, even though it is not some impressive size. Chairs upholstered with a dark color cloth with a light rumble. Looks good.

I tried to configure the seats for a long time, but I didn't get anything worthwhile from this venture. Therefore, it just got tortured, and then used. There is an armrest with a niche between the front chairs. But here to maintain my elbow, he completely refuses. He is constantly slipping. Also uncomfortable, but used to it. There is no choice. But there is a huge glove box with a backlight, a cup holder and even an ashtray. In the doorway there are pretty roomy niches for various smokers.

By the way, the fabric that the offense of the seating is very marking. And in general, the interior is somehow very quickly dirty. I could not even imagine this. It shows absolutely everything and immediately. True, everything is erased by an ordinary wet cloth.

Doors are heavy, as I like, with closers. But they open and close without problems. What was surprised, so this is the cutting of the car. He seems to be just dreaming that the driver push the gas pedal is stronger. Especially clear this acume is manifested at the start. So lovers of "traffic lights" this car will obviously like. In addition, the box can be translated into manual mode. Then you will have to click six virtual gear on your own.

On the track, of course, everything falls into place. Still, the motor is weak. But, nevertheless, overtaking can not be tightened. The main thing is not to fully fool and do not forget that you manage the "Renault", and not any conditional "Ferrari".

The suspension is well configured. Small lights of the roadbed she simply "eats". Moreover, even on large pits and potholes, the suspension behaves very heroically, passing the driver and passengers only a small part of this unpleasant incident.

If you try to enter the turn at high speed, the body is very clearly starting to roll. Therefore, it is a pity that the chairs are not equipped with lateral support. It is sometimes very lacking. Again, the steering wheel becomes much harder. Therefore, driving a car convenient and pleasant.

Feedback on Hatchback Renault Megan 1.6 Variator 2015

I live in a private house, it turns out that you need to constantly bring something to take away from the boosted - then small furniture, then some construction Materials, here's the generator recently bought ... in short, I needed a practical car, with good spacious trunk. And at the same time - reliable, comfortable and relatively inexpensive. After seeing several options, I stopped at Renault Megan, Hatchback.

At the time of purchase was the choice between the engine 1.6 and 2.0 - 114 or 137 mares. I took a more powerful, liked it. Box - pen, six speeds. In total, the car cost almost 900 thousand, with insurance. Retained more than 15 thousand, the first thing was that everything is fine. Fuel consumption in the city - 9-10 liters in summer, on a liter-one and a half more in winter. Not disappointed.

Advantages of Renault Megane 2.0:

A dynamic engine, good and in the city, and on the highway under overtakers, the transmissions of the MCP easily switch easily.

High clearance gives freedom when parking from borders. The front bumper from below is protected by a unpacked "lip". Motor is protected from below the screen.

The interior is comfortable, in the frost heat. Even if I turn off the ignition, cool slowly.

The suspension is perfect for our roads, cracks on the asphalt, small pits swallow easily. Large pits also work on "five", does not break through.

Disadvantages of Renault Megane 2.0:

- There are questions on the assembly of the salon - the cold came, "crickets" appeared. I hope in the spring they will disappear.

- The audio system sometimes reads not all flash drives, some have to poke twice.

- Recently, the computer lit a mistake ABS, the system itself stopped working (in winter, very in time !!!). I did not have time to turn to the dealer, as everything itself was improved. I read on the forums, people say that in the cold and when the temperature drops, the sensor blows the head. Unpleasant. I take off for this point for reliability.

Alexey, review about Renault Megane 3 MCPP 2015 G.V.

Typically, the Renault brand in Russia is associated with cheap Logan type sedans and crossovers like "Duster". However, the brand produces more dear cars. For example, Megan. The third generation of these cars appeared in 2008. The car was produced until 2015, after which it was replaced by the fourth generation. What is the third "Megan" characteristics and reviews? Car Renault Megane 3 hatchback is further in our review.

Design

At one time, "Megan" of the second generation in the body of Sedan used high demand. Reviews of the owners said that the car has a more pleasant design than "Logan". But in the new generation not only Megane has changed. "Renault Megan 3" is not produced in the body of a sedan who loved Russian motorists so.

Therefore, the sales percentage dropped sharply. Although externally, this car looks very attractive. Yes, there are no luxurious details here, but it will not be ashamed inside this car. Even now, 9 years after the debut, the car looks very attractive and modern. By the way, it is on Renault Megane III Hatchback Reviews of the owners note the presence of handles with invincible access. On the second generation of this "chip" was not even in luxury equipment.

Sizes, clearance

Regarding the sizes of French Megane 3 hatchback, reviews mark the compactness of the model. Despite belonging to the C-class, the car can confidently maneuver by narrow streets. The body length is 4.3 meters, width - 1.79 meters, height - 1.48 meters. Road Suit In 16.5 centimeters, it is enough to ride through snow-covered sites and a small off-road.

What inside the "Frenchman"?

The salon has usual outlines for those years. At the same time, it does not look cheap and sad, as in Logan.

In extremely there are inserts under black gloss and multicolor with a beautiful line. IN top-end sets Multimedia display on the center console. Side mirrors have an electric regulation already in the "base".

The second row of seats, in contrast to the first, deprived of any side support. Not only is there a flat back, so also there is no free place. Still, the Body Hatchback makes itself felt. Lack of free space is the main minus of the Renault Megan 3 car hatchback. Specifications and reviews will be discussed below.

By the way, the volume of the luggage compartment is 368 liters. And the backs themselves have a transformation function.

Specifications "Renault Megan 3" hatchback

Reviews celebrate wide gamma engines. For the domestic market, three gasoline force aggregates were presented. Diesels were also installed on the hatchbacks, but they were not officially offered for Russia.

IN basic configuration A 4-cylinder unit with distributed injection was available. The working volume of the combustion chamber is 1599 cubic centimeters. Maximum power - 106 horse power. Reviews say that even with the basic engine "Renault Megan" - not too "vegetable" car. He recruits the first hundred for 11 and a half seconds. The maximum speed is 183 kilometers per hour. Owners talk about low fuel consumption. In a mixed cycle, the machine consumes 6.7 liters. Completed the unit with non-alternative mechanics on 5 steps.

In medium-sized configurations, more powerful force aggregate. What does this "Renault Megan 3" Hatchback specifications? Reviews say that among the 1.6-liters it is necessary to choose this particular motor. After all, with the same volume of cylinders, he gives 114 power strength. And in terms of consumption, even more economical than its predecessor. So, this "Renault Megan" consumes about 6.6 liters of fuel. As for the dynamics of overclocking, the increase in horses is felt immediately. "Jerk" up to hundreds takes 10.9 seconds on mechanics. But with a variator acceleration almost for almost a second later. Many of the lamps were approaching the choice of variable boxes due to the lack of knowledge of their maintenance. Yes, and on secondary market Many do not want to buy versions with CVT. While this transmission did not fit in Russia. But the classical mechanics were always in honor - sometimes such versions are even more expensive than with the variator.

"Megan 2.0"

In the top trim, a two-liter atmospheric unit is available at 137 liters. from. A six-speed mechanic has a six-speed mechanic with this unit or in the first case, overclocking 0-100 takes 9.9 seconds, in the second - by 0.3 seconds longer. Peak speed is 200 and 195 kilometers per hour for mechanics and variational transmission, respectively.

In terms of fuel consumption, the voracious is the modification 2.0 with CVT. In the city, the minimum indicator is 11 liters. In mixed mode - about 8. On the highway you can put in 6.2 liters. Mechanics about 0.4 liters more economical.

RESULTS

Now we know what "Renault Megan 3" has a hatchback. Specifications, reviews, design. The car did not become a breakthrough in the Hatchback lineup, but an order of magnitude more reliable than the second generation.

Among the shortcomings, the owners note the small resource of the suspension elements on our roads. Stands of the stabilizer and sleeves wear out 60 thousand kilometers. Silent blocks levers on the front and rear suspension You have to change already on 120 thousand thousands. Steering thrust have a resource of 80-100 thousand kilometers. But in terms of service cost this car It costs much cheaper than the same "Mercedes" C-class (not to be confused with s). Therefore, it is definitely worth considering as an option for purchase. The Frenchman will not pull out the latest money from the owner, even if it is "maximum speed" from 2.0.

On the Russian market, only the largest and strong car manufacturers They can afford to offer hatchbacks of the C-segment, for the simple reason that competition is too large, and for profit, such cars must be made and sell in huge quantities.

One of these giants was and remains the French concern Renault, which has been selling the Megane 3 generation in our market for several years. The first prototype of the current megan was shown when the car former generation was just beginning its way. The car was presented in 2004 at the Louis Vuitton Classic Cars festival in London.

Recruitment and prices Renault Megane 2015

That concept was named Fluence, and he also pleased the public at the Paris Motor Show of the same year. As close to the serial Renault Megane 3, the Coupe Concept concept model, shown in the framework of Motor Show in Geneva in 2008.

Compared with the second generation, which was presented in four body variations: three- and five-door hatchbacks, sedan and station wagon, the third generation of Megane is offered only in our first two modifications. Moreover, the car devoid of the rear side doors is now called Coupe, positioning as a sports model. However, in Europe, Renault Megan 3 has versions with a universal and a convertible body.

Despite the fact that direct relationship between modifications can be traced without much difficulties, the coupe got a greater number of eccentric elements in the design of the exterior, like gray plastic "fangs" on the front bumper, rear optics with expressive stop signals and dimensions, as well as a drop-down roof line who make the car in sports aggressive and bright. The five-door version of Renaul Megane III hatchback looks more prosaic, but much more elegantly and neatly, compared with the predecessor.

Salon Renault Megan 3 is the same for both modifications. At the head of his architecture - simplicity and intuitive understanding. The material of the front panel is pleasant to the touch, please the eyes and plastic inserts under aluminum, and the audio control blocks and climate Installation Ideally complement the image.

Sports steering wheel With tides for big fingers hides elegant dashboard, hesitates on which the speedometer. The main disadvantage - in versions with a manual box it is not always convenient to look for a tachometer to select the optimal switching torque. And considering good noise insulation, the level of this lack is only increasing.

The front armchairs in Renault Megane 3 although they do not indulge the sports side support, but without much difficulties hold the saddles in almost any devies. The size of the rear sofa meets the standards of its class - three adults can accommodate there, but the most comfortable will be only two. Naturally, in the Coupe version, access to the second row is noticeably complicated.

Recreation and Prices Renault Megane Coupe

The same problem and with luggage compartment. Despite the fact that the volume of compartments is almost the same (368 liters), the width of the loading opening on Renault Megan Coupe is noticeably less due to the protruding blocks of headlights, while the optics of the hatchback partially rises with the fifth door.

Unlike Europe, where Megane III is offered with a wide range of engines, including diesel units, the Russian buyer is forced to choose only between two 1,6-liter gasoline engines (106 hp) and 2.0-liters ( 137 hp).

Moreover, the 1600-cubic motor for the hatchback can work both in a pair with a 5-speed mechanic and with a variator (in this case, its return is 114 forces), and the two-liter engine is aggregated in a pair of all with the same stepless variator, or with a mechanical transmission , but already six gears.

Regardless of the type of body, the most powerful power unit works in a pair only with a variator. Both engines are not distinguished by outstanding dynamics and directness, but the main advantage of Renault Megane 3 is the suspension tincture. The five-door version is slightly softer, perfectly practices the irregularities of the road canvase, while not devoid of small but noticeable rolls in turns.

The jewelry modification is tougher and assembled, allowing excellently to prescribe turns, but at the same time the road coping with irregularities. The main reason for this is the lower center of gravity of the car.

Updated Renault Megane III

In early 2012, the French automaker presented the updated versions of the Renault Megane III model, which, by the way, received minimal differences from pre-reform machines. You can note only the new front bumper and the appearance of LED running lights In the head optics.

As options for Renault Megan, a combined upholstery of leather and Alcantara chairs were available, as well as the Visio system, and the GT / GT-Line version received an upgraded audio system and a plate with the inscription Renault Sport on door thresholds.

In addition, three new engines prepared for cars. Diesel DCI 110 develops 110 hp And the maximum torque of 260 nm. Its average consumption in the mixed cycle is only 3.8 liters per hundred kilometers.

A more powerful 1.6-liter DCI 130 issues 130 "horses" and a peak moment in 320 nm, and its average consumption is four liters per hundred. Finally, the gasoline engine TCE 115 with a working volume of 1.2 liters develops 115 forces and a moment in 190 nm. Its average consumption is expected above - 5.3 liters per 100 km.

Charged hatchback, in addition to LED lights, upgraded interior and new 18-inch disks, has become 15 hp. Forces and 20 nm more powerful former. The world debut of new products was held at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March, and a few months later, the first cars reached Russian dealers.

We have the price of a new Renault Megan 3 in the Bound of Hatchback starts from 819,000 rubles for the basic version with a 1.6-liter engine (106 hp) and a 5-speed mechanic in the authentique configuration. For the five-year variator, a minimum of 918,990 rubles is to lay out, and the top megane iii with a more powerful 2.0-liter engine capacity of 137 hp In the EXPRESSION package and with the variator is estimated at 1 023 990 p. The price plug on Renault Megane Coupe at the time of sales ranged from 811,000 to 926,000 p.

Renault Megane 2014

At the Motor Show in Frankfurt 2013, the premiere was held once again the renewed hatchback, coupe and wagon Renault Megane 3 generations, which have gained an overlooking front with a new front bumper, modified by the head optics and another radiator grille made in the generation style.

At the same time, the Renault Megan 2014 in three- and five-door modifications have an identical design of the front part, whereas earlier it was different. Later, similar changes found megane convertible.

Russian sales innovations started in the spring of 2014, however, at first it was possible to buy only the "charged" version, and the hatchbacks and the coupe got to the dealers only in the summer. Today, the prices of the five-year after restyling range from 849,000 to 1,060,990 rubles.

The article tells about what is worth paying attention to when buying a used Renault Megane third generation. Describes the main weaknesses of this car.

Exterior Renault Megane 3

Interior of the new Renault Megane 3

Electrical Equipment Renault Megane 3

There are not a lot of problems with the electrician in Megan's third generation. Most often, the owners complain about "glitches" with a map that in hatchbacks and third-generation wagons replaces the usual key required in order to start the car.

Engine Renault Megan 3

From engines that were offered for Renault Megane, best to give preference petrol aggregate 1.6 liter volume. It is he who is most often found under the hood of those Megane, which is sold in our country. Main flaw this engine - Quite fast wear of the phase management. It is usually recommended to change it along with a belt of the gas distribution mechanism. Relatively recently to the French car began to install a turbocharged gasoline engine with a 1.4 liter volume. In our country with such power renault aggregate Megane was not officially sold, but in the Western European market, the share of vehicles with this power unit accounts for a very high sales percentage. So far there are no complaints on gasoline 1.4 TCE, but about how this power unit will behave in our conditions, you can only guess. But my opinion as a specialist - it will be missing if you often drive cars around the country highway.

Quite often, under the hood of Megane, a diesel unit of 1.5 DCI is found, which can develop from 90 to 110 horsepower. This power unit is characterized by very good economy and worthy for its volume dynamic indicators, but in return requires high-quality fuel and lubricants. If on the maintenance of diesel 1.5 dci save, then get ready for the fact that after 150 thousand kilometers will have to be engaged in great and expensive repairs. If you do not save on oil and fuel, then this power unit without any problems will withstand 250 thousand kilometers, although inserts, namely they are weak place This engine is better to replace before this run.

Similar problems are observed in a very popular 1.9 DCI diesel unit in the Western European market. And even more so it should not be considered that the diesel Renault Megane 3 driven from Western European countries does not grieve the problems described above. The fact is that the French manufacturer officially allowed to change oil in 1.5 DCI engines and 1.9 DCI every 30 thousand kilometers. Naturally, such a huge oil replacement interval only reduces the resource of these engines. But if you firmly decided to buy Renault Megan 3 with a diesel engine, then look for a car with a two-liter unit. Engine 2.0 DCI is much more reliable than smaller aggregates.

Renault Megane 3

The Renault Megane chassis in a constructive plan is very simple, therefore there are no special problems with its reliability. In the front suspension most often will have to change the silent blocks of levers, bushings and stabilizer racks. Problems with support bearings are not excluded. Behind Megane 3 and the torsion beam is installed at all, which will extremely rarely require attention.

Renault Megan 3

If we consider prices for new megans - 2014 G.V. then they are from 646 to 926 thousand rubles.

Conclusion about Renault Megan 3

So, if you forget about not too reliable diesel engines, you can definitely say that the Renault Megane of the Third Generation turned out to be quite reliable. And cars S. gasoline engine The volume of 1.6 liters, and the majority of such Renault Megane in our country, and are good at all. Large costs for your repair and maintenance they will not require. If watching reviews about this model, then average rating Of 5 is 4.3.

Video Test Drive New Renault Megane 3:

Renault Megane - car full of change. While the first generation of the R19 model was just rounded, the second was shocked by his forms. The third megan less avant-garde.

Reno from the end of the nineties successfully supports the image of all its models, as reliable and well-protected corrosion. Megan third generation in this regard is immaculate, but not perfect. Opinions about him are rather contradictory. True, more often, the complaints can be heard only from those who bought a car without service book or with twisted mileage.

Among the advantages are the highest score for crash tests. Experts were concerned about only the consequences at a pedestrian. The latter was greatly injured feet and head. Due to the tightening of the rules for holding EUROncap crash tests, Renault Megan in 2014 earned only three stars out of five possible.

Equipment

The overwhelming majority of Renault Megane III is well equipped. All machines are equipped with air conditioning and electric windows of the front doors. In Europe, five complete sets were provided: Generation, Authentique, Expression, Dynamique and Privilege.

The first option was created specifically for corporate garages. Unlike other versions, the speed indicator and the traditional key instead of a chip card are used here. This variation is easily recognized by black unpainted handles and outer mirrors.

In authentique mirrors have already been painted in body color. By purchasing a car on the secondary market, it is better to pay attention to the PRIVILEGE configuration (more comfortable, with consistent invisible access, often with leather upholstery, there are also fog lanterns), Dynamique (sports versions, external aluminum door handles) and Bose Edition (with audio system BOSE). Decent attention and limited series, including Tech Run (with TomTom navigation) and sport model GT Robert Kubica.

It is worth noting that the maximum possible equipment was the truth of the royal. It is comparable to the level of premium German competitors. For example, a rotary bi-xenon was installed at an additional cost. At that time, it was a real peak in lighting, as LED technologies just started to develop. Among the available options were: a roof with a panoramic view and navigation system.

If it is possible to choose a machine with navigation, it is better to prefer the one that is equipped with the TomTom system. It is recognized by the SD slot for cards next to the display. More advanced and expensive Carminat DVD meets less often, and the update of cards for it was discontinued in 2012.

For Russian market Assembly 4 versions: Authentique, Confort, Expression and Dynamique.

Chassis

The chassis of the third Renault Megan does not differ endurance, but cheap in repair. On the front axis, the manufacturer used the McPherson system, on the rear - torsion beam. Typical malfunctions - wear of the silent blocks of levers, bushings and stabilizer racks. The levers may require replacement after 60,000 km. Problems with support bearings were more likely from the model of the previous generation. Here it happens much less. Sometimes the silver is applied.

Rear suspension is quite strong. Single surprise - the cost of the rear brake discs with integrated wheel bearings. For the replacement will have to prepare about 12,000 rubles - for two disks.

Gasoline engines

Among the engines is the most reliable - an old and time-tested 1.6-liter 16-valve gasoline engine K4M. It has two versions - with a capacity of 106 and 114 hp. A fundamental difference is the absence of a gas distribution mechanism phase management in a less strong modification.

The characteristic drawback of a more powerful unit - premature wear of this very phase management. His resource is about 100,000 km, and the cost is 6,000 rubles. Mechanics are recommended for preventing prevention to change the phase management along with the timing belt. Sometimes you have to face with the refusable ignition coils. The rest of the engine is reliable and inexpensive. It consumes no more than 11 l / 100 km.

A 2-liter atmospheric of the development of Nissan collects good reviews.

In Europe, the modification with 1.4 TCE has been popular. it turbated aggregate H4J. He appeared under the hood of Renault Megan 3 in 2009. Motor has a distributed fuel injection and a chain type timing type. 1.4 TCE does not cause too many problems. It is amazingly elastic, but with active driving consumes more than 11 liters per 100 km. During movement in a calm rhythm, the appetite drops to 7-8 liters.

In 2012, another turbo engine - 1.2 TCE (H5F) came to replace 1.4 TCE. This unit received direct fuel injection and the variable phases on the outlet shafts. In the first years of production, the engine suffered from an excessively high oil consumption. If there is a problem, the manufacturer changed the motor guarantee.

Another disadvantage is the complexity of the launch and unstable revolutions during the engine warming at the air temperature near zero. Presumably, the source of the trouble is low-quality fuel. At least in Western Europe, this problem does not exist. In addition, at high runs, the accumulation of deposits on the inlet valves and in the intake manifold.

F4RT 2-liter gasoline turbomor engine is quite reliable and hardy. It was intended for versions of GT and RS. In calm mode, the engine consumes about 10 liters, but with active driving - all 20.

Diesel engines

Diesel modifications are very popular in Europe. The most common is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbodiesel 1.5 DCI. Total 9 versions. All of them differ in productivity (from 86 to 110 hp) and the injection system. The huge plus is a fairly reliable filter of solid particles with fifth fuel injector in exhaust pipe. Therefore, the danger of oil liquefaction with diesel fuel is excluded.

The engine is highlighted by a very low fuel consumption and good performance. There are quite many owners who have passed more than 200,000 km without any comments. True, there are those who have been forced to face the repair of the motor after 150,000 km due to the premature wear of the liners. If you change the oil every 8-10 thousand km, you do not see such problems.

1.6 DCI (R9M) came to change 1.9 DCI in 2012. Instead of the timing belt, a chain is used. A number of new technologies are also applied here. From the diamond-like surface processing DLC \u200b\u200b(DIAMOND LIKE CARBON) to a solution that allows you to get rid of vortex dampers. This is done by the combined gas distribution mechanism when both distributive shaft Drive inlet and exhaust valves. The scheme is implemented in the same way as in 2.0 DCI.

Many in Europe and versions with Turbodiesel 1.9 DCI is a rather controversial engine. Its longevity depends on the technical condition of a particular copy and from how often oil changed in it. There is also a premature wear of the liners. It is possible to avoid problems, reducing the oil replacement interval. In Europe, it constitutes an astronomical 30,000 km.

The best in the diesel line is considered 2.0 DCI. Unlike 1.5 DCI and 1.9 DCI, it has a timing chain drive and impeccable reputation. However, sometimes the problem delivers the cleaning system exhaust gases. The differential pressure sensor fails, or loses the tightness of the flexible hose connecting to the sensor.

Service

Motors 1.2 TCE, 1.4 TCE, 2.0 16V, 1.6 DCI and 2.0 DCI have a TRP timing drive. The remaining motors are equipped with a timing belt, with a replacement interval of 120,000 km or 5 years. Oil is recommended to change every 10,000 km. It should be used oil SAE. 5W-30, ACEA A3 / B3, and in diesel engines with a soup filter - exclusively C3.

The 114-strong version of the 1,6-liter gasoline atmospheric was relying 6-speed mechanical box Transmission TL4. Unlike the 5-Mortar of JH3 (for 106 hp), TL4 offers more accurate operation of the gear selection mechanism. True, there is little sense on the highway. The sixth gear has almost the same gear ratio as the fifth. As a result, there is that there the engine at high speed develops quite high revs. TL4 got both turbocovers 1.2 and 1.4 TCE.

Two-liter modification is equipped with an exceptionally stepless CVT gearbox (FK0). The variator does not add driving pleasure, and after 200,000 km may require repair.

1.9 DCI aggregated with a new 6-speed ND4 gearbox.

The 150-strong 2.0 DCI as an alternative could be combined with the AJ0 automaton from Jatco. Other versions - return 160 hp - Shli S. manual box RK4.

RK4 rely on the 2-liter gasoline turbomotor. Tremary 6-speed mechanics is very reliable. It was designed to replace the capricious RK6 from Laguna II with 2.0dci (M9R).

In 2010, an automated gearbox was proposed double clutch EDC. In service practice, it received the designation DC4 or GETRAG 6DCT250.

Body

The MEGANE body does not rust, but aesthetic defects may appear on the paint and varnish. Small bubbles are found near the thresholds - mainly under rear doors. The imperfection of the paint coating is detected on the hood. In addition, the owners note that the lacquer is very susceptible to scratches.

Before buying it is worth considering windshield. In some copies, it is spontaneously cracking, but it is not commonplace. For the replacement of windshield with rain sensor in the official service will have to lay out about 19,000 rubles, in unofficial - only about 8,000 rubles.

Among minor defects, it is possible to note the injection of water into the rotation pointer located in the mirror. Owners point to another moment - drainage under the windshield. When it is clogged with leaves and mud, water can damage the wiper mechanism. Fortunately, usually can be saved.

Interior

The interior of Renault Megan 3 is assembled qualitatively, but the materials used are gentle and sensitive to coarse contacts. The owners complain about the rapid wear of plastic and skin on the steering wheel after 80,000-100,000 km. Sometimes annoying and script panels.

The problems with the electrician are encountered (for example, with a chip card reader), but much less often than in the model of the previous generation. Sometimes it is buggy climate control panel (backlight and buttons), or fails the heater fan resistor. The air conditioner may refuse due to the capped condenser.

Problems with work rear Lights arise due to bad contacts. Safety can be caused and damage to the wiring in the protective corrugation between the lid of the trunk and the body. In this case, it ceases to function normally and the castle of the trunk doors.

Renault Megane Generation

In 2010, Megane Generation appeared. He was going to Turkey, in Bursa and was intended exclusively for the eastern markets. In Western Europe, this car has never been sold.

The model was positioned as the cheaper modification of Renault Megan, and hence the poorer. In fact, Megane Generation is a completely different car. The differences are really a lot. This is the other rear bumper, and a spare wheel under the machine, and not in the recess under the hollow of the trunk. In addition, Generation is 20 mm higher and 7 mm in short.

Completely different and body production technology. An ordinary was used here point weldand used less high strength steel. As a result, the car was heavier than the original by 15-50 kg (depending on installed engine). The service practice Megane Generation is considered as a separate model, like Renault Fluence.

Technical differences are present in the chassis. On the front axis there are no auxiliary aluminum elements of rigidity absorbing part of the energy during the front collision. Rear is used torsion beam with longitudinal levers.

Since I had to do without laser welding, and the share of high-strength steel was reduced, Renault was forced to finalize the power structure of the body. As a result, 2 times the thickness of the crossbar, which connects the average body racks from above, and rose the stiffness of the racks themselves and partitions of the engine compartment.

Conclusion

Renault Megane III is worthy of recommendations. If someone comes out for disadvantages as finishes, keep in mind that the car is quite suited and costs less than, for example, Honda Civic.

2016 - Generation Change.

Characteristic problems and malfunctions

• with a sharp drop of temperatures, windshield bursts. Most often with such a problem, the owners of heated garages are faced;
• the front levers will be rapidly wear out. Fortunately, the replacement costs cheaply;
• there are problems with the electrician;
• the first diesel versions had problems with the diesel filter;
• a gentle paintwork coating over time with chips and scratches;
• moisture getting into the trunk due to bad laying under the third stop signal;
• failure of pressure sensors in tires - machines 2008-2010;
• malfunction of electrical locking steering wheel. You have to change the control lock;
• failures in the operation of an electromechanical steering amplifier. The reason is a short circuit of the electric motor power supply due to contact with the steering shaft;
