What you need to know the owners of Renault Megane 2. Renault Megane II: Operating experience according to owners' reviews. Electrical engine system

Prices for Renault Megane II (2003-2009 release) were initially quite democratic. Add to them the avant-garde for the beginning of the 2000s appearance and a good complete set - and here you have a secret of being popular. In the secondary market, Megan is no less attractive, and it is cheaper rather quickly. Maybe no reason?

The Europeans, in the soul, had an extravagant hatchback, who in 2003, a year after the debut, became the European car of the year, and another year later took the first place on sales in the "Absut". We also have a favorite - a more spacious and practical sedan (80% of sales), the release of which in 2004 has established in Turkish Bursa. And all the universals (15% of sales) - Spanish assembly.

Any of the bodies, regardless of the type or place of production, is not bad protected from corrosion - metal panels are galvanized, and the front wings and the floor of the trunk - from polypropylene. But who without sin? Rust may appear on the rear wheeled arches with paint-erased metal - by the way, follow the use of anti-agvine stickers on the rear wings, which easily tear off a strong jet of water during washing.

Salon and after changing generations does not look outdated, but with the age of "pulls" the screenshots, and the full-time magnetol VDO Dayton cars over 2007 is prone to failures

Catching the ring - the crumpled carpet with each convenient case gets out of the overlays

The power windows are not distinguished by reliability, and doors upholstery fabric are resistance to planting. The rubber plastic coating of the internal door handles at intensive operation begins to get caught in a couple of years

The reason for the premature failure of the support bearings of the front racks is insufficient protection against dirt. Electrical power steering (1700 euros) is unrepretentious and subject to replacement with any malfunction

Automatic transmission DP0 is a real miner mine, which can "swept" after 60-80 thousand kilometers

No special claims for mechanical transfers, but be sure to check the condition of the glands and pads - so as not to flow

When replacing a faulty phase displayer on gasoline motor models K4M and F4R, a new timing belt will be required.

Rubber glass seals are spared by themselves, and at the 2005 hatchbacks of the release, without visible reasons can operate the rear window - when buying, make sure that the former owner did not ignore the branded revocable company.

The sedans marked an even more exotic problem - during severe frosts, they can take the roof! The peak of the epidemic happened to the harsh winter of 2006, and the thermoshumo-glued glued to the roof of the roof was covered with the roof panel - compressing from the cold, she pulled the metal. Since 2007, mats from a different material have come to move, and the traces of the roof repair at the older cars are not a sign of their accident in the past.

Renault tries to position the Scenic compactment as an independent model, but technically it is the same Megane II

The body of the Cup-Cabriolet SS when driving around uneven roads, "plays" is noticeable, and the composite parts of the folding rigid roof are smalleled with time

The wheelbase of the sedan is 65 mm more than the hatchback, but because of the slope of the roof and duckful racks sit behind it less convenient

The fastest of megananov, RS with "supervised" to 224-230 hp two-liter Motor F4R, externally almost did not stand out

Five-door hatchbacks are found on our roads rarely, and three-year - the complete exotic

The wagon is built on the same platform with an elongated wheelbase, as sedan. Because of the Spanish assembly, he cost more than 60 thousand rubles, so he did not conquer the same popularity

Electrician dampness does not regret: the contacts of the lanterns are oxidized (dorestayling sedans over 2006 from local overheating, the diffuser is melted), fails of the ignition blocks of xenon (200 euros). Weakly protected from water electric drive glasses (300 euros), and their control buttons do not shine reliability and dry.

The "climatic" of the salon with the same probability can be funny due to fan failure (250 euros), the block of its control (180 euros), and after 100 thousand kilometers and worse - due to the jammed air conditioner compressor (900 euros). In the early years of the release, there was often a change in the guarantee "head" of a regular audio system, which, when turning off the ignition, does not GAS display.

The main "consumables" in front - levers and steering traction

The silent blocks of the rear suspension are not different, but are located in nature - control their condition is not difficult

To repay the lightning signal on airbag faults is easier - postponing the electric jack under the driver's seat. Worse, if after 80-100 thousand kilometers the reason will be a breakdown in the wiring tire in the steering column - it will be the harbors of the steering wheel, and the entire block of submissive switches will be changed (250 euros).

And do not be lazy at least once a year to clean the holes of the drains in front of the windshield (for this you have to remove the fiberglass leashes and protective plastic casing). Otherwise, you risk not only to arrange a swamp in the cabin and spoil the thermoshumo insulation of the engine shield, but also to change the "trapeze" of the janitors (400 euros assembled with a motorcar): the catchment tray is releasing in the "pool", it will not last long.

Do not like dampness and numerous electrical wiring connectors under the hood - before washing the engine, it is better to think twice. And individual ignition coils (45 euros) and without washing, it is desirable to process with a special lubricant at the point of contact with the candle - this is a chance to somehow extend their life. Where are the coils and how to change them, knows, probably, every "meganogen" - this weakness moved by inheritance from the first generation machines. Until 2006, only Sagem coils were installed on all gasoline megans, which sometimes did not survive up to 30-40 thousand kilometers. Then the Beru or Denso coils began to put on most of the cars - they serve much longer.

If the motor does not want to start at all, to start the search for the perpetrators from the sensors of the position of the crankshaft and distributional shafts (30-40 euros). A more expensive source of trouble in the most common engine volume 1.6 (85% of machines in our market) and at a two-liter unit (6% of machines) - a system of changing the phases of gas distribution. Prior to the modernization of the node during restyling in 2006, the phase inspector in the drive of the gas distribution mechanism (500 euros) was measured under warranty, which often became the first surprise for the owners of completely fresh cars with a mileage of only 20 thousand kilometers. First, the mechanism quietly twisters, which complicates the launch of the motor in the cold, and then loudly declares its fatigue (first time - only after cold start) "diesel" tapura - wearing sealing plates of the blades of the rotor of the phase inspector and the slot of the retainer in the stator housing is broken.

Be careful - the lowered bottom of the plastic trunk is easy to split. Up to 2006, rear brakes did not equip the rear brakes, which leads to an accelerated wear of the inner pads.

In winter, the plastic gas tank hatcher often acts about, and attempt to open it ends with a breakdown of the lock

The active drivers of the machines with a slaughter two-liter engine are often kissing the rear support of the power unit 30-40 thousand kilometers (with the engine 1.6, it usually serves two or three times longer), and it makes sense to any of the aggregates to change the waterproof with the gas distribution mechanism to each 60 thousand kilometers - until next, he is unlikely to reach. By the way, do not give in to the temptation to change the belt in the "garage at Uncle Vasi": the pulleys on the crankshaft and the camshaft are sitting without a key, and it is necessary not only to correctly set the phases, but also to properly tighten the fastening bolts - the consequences of the pulley is not better than when the belt is not better .

Problems in transmission? Exist. Mechanical gearboxes are that the six-speed dual-liter machines that the "five-ways" with less powerful motors are rarely underwent. They can be pointed except for those who are vague from the birth of the lever and on the leaks after 100 thousand kilometers (follow the level of oil - otherwise the differential bearings suffer). But the jerks at the time of the closure of the clutch disks are often starting through some 10-15 thousand kilometers. Derganium is especially noticeable when the node is heated in the heat or when moving in the opposites - and radically is not treated even the replacement of the "basket" assembly (250 euros).

But it is a surcharge. And the fairy tale is an adaptive "automatic machine" DP0 (3500 euros), under the name Al4, I have flown and owners of PEUGEOT and Citroen cars (AR No. 11 and 18, 2009). The aggregate debut in 1999 was improved all his life, but it remained a capricious. The box does not like to work in an immentable state and is sensitive to the level of oil (in the absence of probe, it is possible to check it only on the lift). In the risk group and seals, and the hydrotransformer (the bulkhead will cost 700-1000 euros), but most often - sometimes after 60-80 thousand kilometers - due to strong jolts, when switching has to change the modulation valves or the entire hydraulicone (200-450 euros ).

The metal of the body is reliably protected by galvanized: Skol in the photo - more than a year

Anti-gravial stickers on the rear wings are weak. On the other hand, this car has a sticker flew off at all

Plastic front wings are not afraid of light beats, but the bumper latches are laid out with ease

The weaknesses are known and in the suspension. Take at least the support bearings of the front racks (100 euros) - before the construction of the structure in 2007, their warranty replacements due to tapping on the irregularities occurred and after 15-20 thousand kilometers. But hearing the rustling in the steering column, you do not rush at the service right away - on each second car it is the norm: the steering tree could get to the stroke limiter and new cars. The "Rake" itself (600 euros) usually requires operational interference with the replacement of a broken sleeve not earlier than 70 thousand kilometers. As a rule, the steering tips are also held, but the traction (for 40 euros) until the time has time to upgrade a couple of times - the rare case when it makes sense to put a more durable "non-original".

Silent-blocks of the McPherson front suspension levers could serve 120-150 thousand kilometers, if it were not for the consumption half earlier with the levers (100 euros) with worn out-free ball supports. Of course, unoriginal hinges can be bought and separately, but how strong the lever with the ball, fixed by the bolts, is a question without an answer.

Halogen Lamps of Middle Lights do not live for a long time, but the Jesuites are changing - to the touch, through the hatchs in the front wheeled arches

Windshield fading quickly, and under the hood a lot of dirt? So, the sound insulation of the engine shield and the proviscial seal was swollen. To clean the drainage tubes, you will have to dismantle the leashes of wipers and the casing under the windshield. Short-lived ignition coils (on this motor they are different stamps) change easily - the spare in the trunk will not interfere

Surprisingly durable sleeves and racks of transverse stability stabilizers, which do not give the reason to remember them up to 110-130 thousand kilometers, - as many serve, for example, the front shock absorbers (90 euros). Working at a large angle rear shock absorbers (50 euros) is harder - they are often giving out their fatigue, and knocks before 100 thousand kilometers, but on the silent blocks of the back beam (70 euros) note after 100-120 thousand kilometers: if creak So, torn.

Probably, you already understood why Renault Megane II at the age becomes so seductively available. But if the soul still asks him, we will advise you to pay attention to cars after restyling 2006 (the French call them the second phase machines) - many "children's diseases" managed to cure, and reliability causes less complaints. How tempting prices? Four-five-year-old Machines 1.4 are estimated at 300-400 thousand rubles, with an engine of 1.6 liters - at 330-450 thousand rubles - at the same price are stacked, for example, Chevrolet Lacetti (AR No. 14-15, 2010) or Peugeot 307 (AR No. 11, 2009), and more reliable Toyota Corolla or Mazda 3 more reliable. And the most interesting offer is, of course, two-liter megans: they are more expensive than 10-20 thousand rubles. And, of course, it is better to prefer the "mechanics" - although the journey of the clutch will have to get used to.

Vladimir Shekun

27 years old, Moscow, system administrator

The previous my car was also Renault Megane II, but in a poor authentique configuration, with an engine 1.4 and "mechanics". For five years from unscheduled replacements - only the ignition coils under warranty. That Megane conquered me the convenience of the salon and the comfort of the suspension, so I changed it on the hatchback - also a five-year-old, with the same mileage of 80 thousand kilometers, but in the configuration of Dynamique, with an engine 1.6 and "automat". I knew about the weakness of the box, but on this car the valve block was already replaced by warranty. But on the engine regulator, I "hit" - a few months after the purchase of his replacement, together with the belt and the pump cost 15 thousand rubles, and then in acquaintance. Soon and on this motor I had to change half the ignition coils (no longer under warranty, 1000 rubles per piece). Further - cooler: due to the closure of the wiring rotted in the back door first flew the fuse block, and then the starter burned down (the tow truck and repair with the used spare parts cost 17 thousand rubles). And all this happened for the year and for 15 thousand kilometers. In general, the next my car is unlikely to be Megane.

So, let's start with the beginning, namely from the moment of the choice of the car. Why choices fell on megane? Before it, my car was well-known in our market Chevrolet Aveo Hatchback (as well as the hero of our review, the 5-door version), he was 3 years old and established himself from the best side, he was not this review about him, so What we turn to Megane.

The reasons for which I thought about changing the car was somewhat. First, it is a banal period (both moral and technical) operation of my current car at that time. Secondly, this is the birth of the Son - respectively, a relatively spacious and safe car is required. Finally, this is an automatic box - I dreamed about her for a long time, because the three previously my cars were on the "mechanics", it turned out frankly me, as Kiev is by no means trouble-free city in terms of traffic.

We turn directly to the choice and "candidates" on the role of my future car. According to my above requirements and the budget, several cars were suitable (and how often it happens, the hero of our review was not in it). For myself, I chose three cars:
1. Mitsubishi Lancer 9th generation, sedan, with a box "Type-Tronic" and excellent reviews of the owners.
2. Chevrolet Lacetti, also a variant in the sedan, scared the outdated design and archaic (but trouble-free) automatic.
3. Hyundai Accent, a good car, but not much characterized in both the size and spaciousness from my Aveo.

After reviewing all cars, I desperately. Not as much as the quality of the auto themselves, how many of their condition (in the secondary market). And it was morally prepared that the amount I had at that time I would not have enough. But one day (I will say more, nervous days) I called my friend from the Renault car dealership and spoke about a good version of them on the Trade In Playground.
Arriving at the car dealership, I immediately went to him - Renault Megane. He stood on a separate platform in proud loneliness, but with a proud inscription on the number sign - "s trying".

Walking around the car from all sides and making a small test drive, I laid out the necessary amount for the car without unnecessary delimony. The state of both the exterior and the interior fully satisfied me, with the exception of small chips on the front bumper. Nothing critical, and the specific color of the car masterfully hid this defect. But the "control firmware" for me was the equipment of the car - Extreme.

This package includes such a friend:
- PPC Type-Tronik (Hurray!);
- engine volume of 1.6 liters and 116 hp;
- full electric package, windows of all doors, electric mirrors;
- climate control;
- light sensor;
- Rain sensor;
- fog lights;
- control of the standard magnetic on the steering wheel, more precisely under it;
- Engine start button;
- chip key;
- linated optics;
- 6 airbags and fastening ISO-FIX for children's chairs;
- branded alloy discs of the 16th diameter.

As I already wrote, a car in the extra issue of the 2007 release, but was purchased by the first owner in the summer of 2008. At the time of buying a car, the mileage was 80 thousand kilometers, I will say right away: with a serious repair for this year I did not encounter. It is in the huge plus, as all familiar "experts" of the brand Renault, rebuild me precisely expensive repair. During this year, I managed to drive about 8 thousand, and everything that I did is replaced the oil, all filters and changed the front stabilizer bushings (the well-known Renault problem). It cost me 490 UAH. (about 60 cu), of which the "Astronomical" sum of 52 UAH accounted for the stabilizer bushings. (about 6 cu) for the original kit.

After that, the ordinary operation of the car began. The first thing I had to get used to is "automatic". The first weeks I thought I would test the floor of the car with my left foot (I think many of you came across like). Not far away from our topic, I will immediately answer why I was looking for exactly the type-tronik as a type of automatic gearbox. For me, this is the possibility of compulsory gear, so to speak, imitating the classic mechanics. Plus, all familiar owners of classic "automata" in one voice "shouted" about problems in the winter, but about it a little further.

I have a dark gray car and has a classic for the brand Renault design of that time. The period of the beginning and mid-2000s is notable for the Renault brand as a period of active experiments in design (which is only worth the "spacecraft" - Renault Vel Satis), whose design is embodied in my megane.

During this year, the car was pleased with a roomy interior, a huge number of all sorts of boxes and compartments (in addition to the glove box, there are another 5 pieces. Without any problems with a children's stroller, and now the bike of the Son (for comparison, the same bike did not get into the Mitsubishi Lancer X trunk).

Additionally pleased with excellent seats. By the way, they absolutely did not change to this day, in such cars as Renault Fluence and Megane 3 in their modern interpretations, there are the same seats as in my Megane 2. Of course, this can be attributed to the "miscarriage" of the automaker, but After carrying out more than a year, I can safely say - the seats are excellent. Side support and moderate stiffness contribute to both active drive and impoverished trip. The only minus specifically in my car is a wipe place that was formed due to, apparently, a rather big ass of the previous owner.

Landing in the car can be called perfect - quite large front racks absolutely do not interfere with the review. The height of the seat, departure and angle of the steering wheel can be changed, adjustments for a comfortable landing. With my height, 188 cm I am absolutely convenient for me, although I have a habit of tune the seats and departure a steering on a sports manner. Ogrekhov in ergonomics is very small. So little that I can't span about them. Whether they are not critical, whether it is not flaws, but the thing is the habit. The only thing that I can remember is shifted to the front stand control of the windows, because of what the fingers fall on the rear buttons of the windows, instead of the front, if not looking to put the hand on the door map. Maybe this is a feature of my landing, I will not argue. Rear passengers are comfortable, if there are no more than two, as the place for the average passenger is much less convenient. Places for the legs are enough - it remains about 5 - 7 cm from the knees to the back of the front seat.

The multimedia system of the car is a regular Renault concern magnetol, nothing special in terms of opportunities: reads audio and has the support of RDS in the radio and all. The sound in the car gives four columns (one in each of the doors) and two high-frequency twitter, which are directly in the Torpedo itself. The sound in the car is not bad, but not more. I will say that I will say that I lacked low frequencies - but I solved this problem quickly, since I have an active 8-inch BLAUPUNKT subwoofer, which cares from one of my cars to another for the third time.

In the future, I plan to add an external USB module to a regular head unit that adds a USB connector and support to MP3 format. If it is interesting, I will definitely write this more.

As for driving on Megane, I can say one thing: the car is comfortable and moderately hard, absolutely calmly reacts to the unevenness of the asphalt. Consumption in the summer period is 9-9.5 liters in the city. At the city, this figure drops to 7 liters. Pretty much today, but do not forget, there is a 4-speed type-tronik - on a much more modern Renault Fluence with a similar motor, but a 6-step variator, the numbers will be 1.5-2 liters below. In the winter period, constant engine warming and boxes lead to 11 liters around the city. For comparison, Chevrolet Lacetti, which I viewed above as an option, in the winter period has consumption of 14 liters.
As for the box work, I will say honestly, for the whole winter period I have never had to help her in manual mode. Apparently, the "learning" type-tronika affects.

Summing up my review, I can say one thing. Do not be afraid of French cars (Renault in particular). The myth of their not survivability and the short time, most likely remained in the past. There are enough flaws in every car, the question is what you can put up, but with what no.

In my case, the only minus is fuel consumption, but if you like a similar car, you can always buy it from a mechanical checkpoint, thereby reducing the flow. And if you have enough money for a new generation, boldly look towards modern Fluence and Megane, many features listed in my review are valid for them.

Renault Megan 2 began to conquer the hearts of many motorists with their design since 2002. Produced in the execution of the sedan, station wagon, Hechbek. And although 2006 acquired a little different appearance, this did not affect the general characteristics. And the small shortcomings and malfunctions of Renault Megan 2 and remained without the focus of the automaker. Especially many complaints of the owners were on the electronics of the Frenchman. Although there are lucky people who do not know breakdowns and megan diseases. In this case, let's talk about weak places and often emerging non-car malfunctions of Renault Megane 2 so that the owners of this beauty knew in advance what to pay attention to the first and from which it was preserved.

Engine

• The phase management goes less than wanted (often scares his cracker, besides, the car refuses to gain momentum). And his price is not small - from 120 dollars. Those who have a 1.4 liter engine, the problem does not concern (no phase management). On the engines of 1.6 and 2.0 liters. The problem may begin to disturb already after 30 thousand km of mileage, although more often occurs on 100 thousand.
• Small resource work pulley crankshaft With a rubber damper (will be 60 - 80 thousand mileage).
• For 30 thousand Mileage may need throttle cleaningMoreover, together with this procedure, it is necessary to change its rubber seal (dubies and as a result appears air drier).
• Do not please resource work coils ignitionwhich like pulley crankshaft it is 60-80 thousand km.
• After 80,000 km Surely begins to create problems with the launch of cars,- starter. But often small defects are easily eliminated (replacing the fuse of the retractor, stripping contacts and wires).
• The owners of the first meganov of the second generation low rear lower engine support. In most cases, lifetime will be only about 20-30 thousand km of mileage. About her death will be saying jerks and shocks at the start. On the car issued after 2008, the problem is eliminated by the manufacturer.

Unfortunately, there is little information about the reliability of the diesel unit Renault Megan 2. The main problems that arise with it is the skeleton of the washers under nozzles or cracks in the intercooler housing, but such defects are not previously 120 thousand mileage.

The most reliable is 98 strong gasoline engine with a volume of 1.4 liters. The claims have occurred to him the least.

Electronics

• Glitch in ECU with engine turnover In the cold season. The turns are immediately raised, and then sharply fall and hang at 400 oh.
• If the car has a VALEO generator, then after 60 thousand km., It often fails (problem or in the regulator relay or brushes).
• By 60 thousand kilometers in the steering column breaks off . Since it is possible to buy only assembly with a steering switch of dollars for 200, then only the loop of the loop can be the optimal option. A sign that the cable will soon cover and light bulb pillows will light up - there will be a rustling sound when the steering wheel is rotated.
• On the car of the older 2006 year in crude weather, miracles can often occur with electronics, in particular, the image on the scoreboard board can be disappeared.
• Closer to 60-80 thousand km. maybe refuse electric windowswill often be the front (they enjoy the most). Due to the destruction of the jumper in the gearbox, the drum with a cable is wear out.
• Can burn the motor of wipers (associated with the location of its location). When the dumping hole of the drain of the drain is clogged, in front of the windshield, it fills the motor.

Transmission

• After 60 thousand km may appear switching bearing On the secondary shaft.
• Also, in most owners, on mileage 60 000 km Pinky boxes appear through worn clutch discHis lifetime is not enough. And for longer than 50 thousand. Also not enough. Much better showed a clutch disc from the scenic.
• On automatic gearboxes after 40 thousand valves are clogged in the hydraulic distributor (mostly depends on manner ride).
• The field of 60 thousand km is the high probability of fast failure of the airbag.

Chassis

• One of the frequent breakdowns of manifest after 50 thousand km is an .
• Closer to 60 thousand steering tips will have to be changed.
• To 80,000 km. required .

Salon

• After forty thousand mileage in the cabin set "Crickets". Most often, dubbing seal between torpedo and glass, although this is not the only place. The source of creak will be handles, door loops.
• When the heatshooting insulation under the hood, then through the ventilation system in the cabin, hot air from the engine. From the ducts, the stove will even go in the heat to go warm air.

Exhaust system

• Strong undergo corrosion exhaust pipe.
• Small catalyst resource. In most cases, it must serve at least 150 thousand, and on megane 2 barely 100 thousand is capable. This is another weak place of Renault Megan.

Lights

• Quite frequent malfunction in Megan 2 is burning minus power terminal rear headlights. As a result, the "colorwoman" appears when you click on the brake pedal or turn turns. It will only help the connector (cleaning the contacts temporarily solve the problem).

As we see a list of faults Renault Megan 2 decent, but not all of them are serious, so if you know about them, you can prepare in advance. Plus, it is natural that everything will not seem like seemingly seeing, looking at all these coming breakdowns, because the likelihood that this set is waiting for one owner to be negligible, although 5-6 weak places for anyone will come out.

By the time the start of the second generation of Megan, the Renault-Nissan Alliance was already three years old, so that the new product platform was picked up global, Nissan C. From the point of view of technology and opportunities, the solution is very modern, from well-known related models you can recall Nissan Qashqai, Nissan X- Trail, as well as a whole bunch of Renault models "zero" years.

The platform allows you to create all-wheel drive machines, has a multi-dimensional rear suspension in arsenal, but Megane got only a front-wheel drive with a simple beam from the back. However, there are enough interesting nuances in the design. For example, plastic front wings and plastic trunk floor. And the outdoor temperature sensor in the rearview mirror is also not quite trivial.

The design turned out to be ambiguous. Sedan and now looks relevant, the wagon is even better, but the hatchbacks on Russian taste turned out to be too avant-garde, because we have very little. The interior is modeled in moderation, and at the time of the appearance of the model was even very advanced, in any case, for this class.

But in terms of the technique everything turned out to be quite boring. Gasoline atmospheric motors 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 liters are under the hood at the overwhelming majority of meganans on sale. On a general dull background, a powerful turbocharged F4RT is distinguished and extreme diesel M9R in version at 173 hp, but they were not officially sold in Russia, and they are almost unrealistic to meet them.

But the version brought in a private order with the K9K semi-liter diesel engine is coming. "Customs" on him was very inexpensive, and the power is quite enough, up to 101 power.

In general, machines are presented in the most practical versions, and they bought them simple and calculating drivers. Yes, and the price of used is relatively small. It seems this is a very good choice in your segment?

Body

Cost of hood

price for the original

11 809 rubles

The main good news: The Body of the Second Megan is perfectly galvanized almost completely. True, the presence of galvania does not mean that the car is completely protected from corrosion. And all because the French confess the somewhat unusual approach to us.

The galvanized is used only for external panels so that the machine maintains an acceptable appearance as possible. Domestic cavities and bottom are protected by the usual layer of paint, soil and mastic. It is not well protected, but nevertheless, in case of damage to the coating, corrosion is pretty quickly lagging in the road inland.

So, the broken edge of the threshold is not at all some little things, but the reason that the year after five to six threshold simply fails. So, in fact, sometimes it happens: it is worth not to trace the condition of the drainage and the plugs of the inner cavities - and the metal rotates. But the bottom of the doors, the back door and the edges of the wings are perfect.

This car must be checked from below and from the inside. Special attention is the bottom and body floors, and also supervisory niche. She here is uncommon here, and her drainage is realized by two tubes derived in the wheeled arches. Tubes over time are clogged with leaves and twigs and cease to pass water. The maximum water level is limited to the height of the cabin air intake.

Regular drainage cleaning is very desirable. It may be necessary to replace the tubes that are torn while trying to clean or simply from age. Change easily: just bend the locker - and you can replace the tube. It is not recommended to ride a torn tube: will suffer from the mud wheel arch, and the dirt will be accumulated downstairs, the junction of the locker.

Because of the already mentioned excessive humidity, not only the body suffers in the supermotive niche, from which the seams also swells, but also a trapezing of janitors. She's so weak here, the hinges regularly die due to the lack of anthers on them, and if it is wet in niche, then the motor in the risk area. A slightly helping the trapezoids of the main cylinder of the clutch from the VAZ-2101, put on the axis of janitor.

In the back of the arch, pay attention to the state of the metal behind the benzing tubes: the dirt is stuffed there, and the metal buys. Also corrosion strikes the studs of fasteners and the surrounding metal.

In the plastic "bath" trunk can splashing a good tens of liters of water. Plastic is not afraid of water, but the spars, which is attached to this plastic - very even. Over time, the sealant in the junction and bolts give up, and the spar begins to quickly corrode.

In general, even on an externally perfect body there is a bunch of places for which you need to follow in both. Of course, almost all bodywork in this case is relatively inexpensive, but on the other hand, very many owners ignore the "small", in their opinion, problems and bring the body to a state when it is already dangerous to ride, but to restore expensive.

Small bodyworks are too grab. Door handles are clisp by all: the problem in the corrosion guide, it stuck in the base plastic. It helps to simply reconnect, the benefit of the storage stock of the pin is solid.

The headlights of the cars suffer from low tightness, and only the rear gaps were dusty, so after all, the front is clogged with dust from the inside - this is already not to mention that the restyling also burns the reflector to the lenses. Well, the replacement of lamps on Megane is for a strong spirit. You need to blindly replace the lamp through the loke of the locker, or remove the bumper and replace everything "as it should". These are now such methods in the order of things, and at the beginning of the two thousands of service and the owners were natural shock. Headlight connectors are also not without sin: they are melted over time, and the repair kits are very expensive - see the price on Delphi 211PC122S0017.

The cost of the front halogen headlight

price for the original

6 460 rubles

True, compared to the price of a solid harness of the engine compartment, this is also a penny. The muffler under the body lives his life, his supports are not too successful. The benefit of Megane III / Fluence is made on the same platform, and the muffler's support is much more successful and gets up as a native.

Side mirrors here with folding, but the motor inside is very gentle, it is tritely dying brushes after 6-8 years of work. But the reducer is durable, does not cut gears, like many other cars.

The outer antenna of the body rotes from the inside and falls apart, the upper part is separated from the base. Normal replacement will require the removal of the ceiling.

Front door seals weaken over time. Well, if this is expressed only in high noise - at my comrade, for example, from under the gum water poured into the door pocket.

Salon

The interior of the car is excellent: nice design, good materials. That's just breaking the cover of the glove box is easy, and even the cabinet of the cabin filter is often broken. Lazy masters when conducting, prefer to do it intentionally to replace the "accelerated procedure" without removing the glove box.

The climatics here is quite reliable, but the air intake is better to close the grid. It happens that dirt from the street falls into the fan, which is why it does not at all romantically squeezed, and on age-related machines it can lead even to stopping the fan and breakage of its power supply system. Support can except the DENSO compressor. He or is unfortunate, or chosen too weak, but he dies often, and it is better to buy a new one. Used often already with jams - they do not live happily live, except that hundreds of thousands of run.

In general, everything is performed qualitatively. With minimal care, the interior during runs for 200-250 thousand looks viable: thanks to a good frame and cloth of seats, successful insuffusity of doors, steering and lever KP.

Electrician and electronics

Electrician on Megane II Contradictory: simple, but not too reliable. The reasons are also simple: the unsuccessful location of the elements and not very high quality design.

Powerboard? Motors are burning. Salon temperature sensor? Buy a bundle, they fly every year or two, and it is located in the rear view mirror. Better to fill with wax, live longer. Mirror motors? Motors of folding and motors adjustment and joystick in the cabin are dying.

The cable cable in the steering wheel here normally changes only assembled with a block of submissive switches, as a result, the amount is rather small. The restoration of the loop in the factory conditions, unfortunately, is not available, so that only the usual "collectozing" remains.

The central locking is buggy easily and naturally, but by mood. The invincible access system has infrared sensors to open, but for closing - simple buttons, and they do not live in our climate for a long time. At least the opening button of the trunk is protected by a rubber band and does not break ...

The happy possessors of the multimedia system with a retractable screen need to be more accurate to exploit this option - over time it cuts the drive gear. So it is better to adjust it to a constantly advanced position. However, the navigation is original ... well, so-so. The navigator in the phone is better as an order.

The reverse sensor on the MCP is not enough that it breaks, it is also located in such a way that if the sensor flows, then oil is out of the box with known consequences.

But the generator is quite reliable, only after 200 thousand it is worth replacing the regulator relay assembly with brushes. Finally, it is worth saying that the tensioner roller one in one comes from ZMZ-406.

Megane II became the first machine in the class with invincible access and with the start of the motor with the button. The unusual key card in general is reliable, but is afraid of shocks and long bathing. Why harmful moisture, I hope, it is clear, and the blows are damaged primarily an antenna - it breaks it.

1 / 3

An ordinary MacPherson on the sedans in front is also quite reliable, although it will begin to knock after 30 thousand kilometers. Thanks "Successful" design of the subframe and the pendant itself - in an attempt to make the repair, convenient somehow forgot about the fact that the suspension should not knock due to the smallest detail.

1 / 2

2 / 2

By the way, behind the state of the subframe is to follow both: it can corroded, and it can also be broken. The procedure for its repair is not quite trivial, you can break the "ski" of the suspension of the box, if it is unsuccessful to subdominate it during the repair, or to heat the rear fastening of the subframe during inconsistent work.

The steering can also "please" with blows and noises. Wines for them lies entirely on the rail. Deaf knock when driving irregularities, a small tapping when swinging the steering wheel on the spot, a small backlash is all because of the breakdown of the rail sleeves.

Fortunately, in the rake "Koltozet" the sleeve from BMW behind the number ZF 7820 023 188, since the original part for repair Renault does not supply. For repair, the rack itself does not need to even shoot, it is enough to remove the craving and the boot. Sometimes it breaks not only the left sleeve, but also the right, in this case the rail will have to be removed and disassembled.

But the electric powerlier is quite reliable here. Is that lovers standing still to keep her hand on the steering wheel and put on him at first there were problems - the motor could turn off due to overheating, but now the cars with such a malfunction not to meet.

What is the result?

In general, the car is quite simple and strong. Corrosion can already have problems, the electrician often gets along the trifles, but everything is eliminated relatively inexpensive. But how it is with the motors and boxes, we will deal.

Renault second-generation megan in the body of Hatchback was represented by the general public in 2002. Extravagant design immediately conquered the hearts of buyers, ensuring a good start of sales of new items. In 2003, the options of execution of Renault Megan 2 in the body of a sedan and a wagon were shown. Hatchbacks gathered in France, sedans - in Turkey, and universals in Spain. In 2006, Renault Megane 2 underwent "easy", barely noticeable plastic surgery, having received a slightly modified front headlights, rear lights, radiator grille and front bumper. The interior remained unchanged, other was the backlight of the devices, changing the red color on white.

RENAULT MEGANE II 2002-2006

The French family car often brought unexpected surprises to its owners. More often problems with gasoline 1.6 l, and the electrician of the car is a separate topic for conversation. Some owners responded about the French brainchild, as the "revenge of the French for defeat in 1812." Of course, this is a joke and most of the owners do not know the troubles, enjoying Renault Megane 2. And yet, he has weaknesses.

Engines

Renault motor line is small and represented by 3 gasoline (1.4 l / 98 hp, 1.6 l / 115 hp, 2.0 l / 135 hp) and 2 diesel engines (1,5dci / 80 hp, 1.9 DCI / 120 hp). Car with a diesel engine on the Russian market is very small, they are officially not sold. All motors have a timing belt drive, requiring replacement every 60 thousand km.

One of the mass problems with which the owners of Renault Megan 2 are faced, a small resource of the phase regulator. His task is to change the phases of gas distribution, to improve the working conditions of the engine and obtaining maximum torque indicators on medium turnover and maximum power - on high revs. Motors with a volume of 1.4 l are devoid of a phase management, and therefore delivered its owners from trouble. If the regulator is disappeared, the engine start is difficult, which can be accompanied by a crack for 2-5 seconds. The engine operating at idle reminds the sound and vibrations of diesel, it is possible to increase the consumption of oil and fuel, thrust falls, and interruptions in operation occur. The problem exhibits itself more often when running more than 100 thousand km, less often - already at 30 - 40 thousand km. Official representatives, stated that the refinement of this node was produced in 2008, and now it will provide long-term work, but the practice has shown that the cardinal changes did not occur. As a rule, the problem occurs in engines operating on poor-quality engine oil, and with an enlarged oil replacement interval. More frequent oil renewal and control over its condition significantly prolong the life of the phase regulator to 140 - 150 thousand km. Its replacement will cost 9 - 10 thousand rubles. On 2-liter motors, the phase management lives longer - more than 120 - 150 thousand km.

When replacing the phase management, do not forget to inspect the crankshaft pulley. Its resource is about 60 - 80 thousand km, and the replacement will require about 2 - 3 thousand rubles. The pulley consists of two parts of the inner and external connected "rubber" damper. Due to the destruction of the compound, the outer part is displaced relative to the inner, which is manifested in the form of axial pulley beating, which entails the generator belt offset. With the full breakdown of the pulley, the crankshaft is possible and breaking the timing belt. Even a small displacement is easily noticeable on the engine center. According to the manufacturer's replacement, the replacement of pulley on the 1.6 L engines was prescribed on-60 thousand km.

In the cold season, at the time of Renault with a 1.6 liter engine, you can observe a strange picture, turns to fly to 1000, and then drop to 400 rpm and hang. After the regulation, everything comes to normal. The automaker recognized the defect, calling the error in the ECU, condensate in the tank or contamination of the throttle. On the 2008 machines, the problem occurs after 30 thousand km, at older - with a run of 80 - 100 thousand km.

When cleaning the throttle node, be careful with the throttle nozzle - it is very fragile. Do not forget to replace the rubber seals in the fields of the choke connection with the engine and the nozzle from the filter housing, which over time are dubbed and start to suck the air. As a result - floating idle speed. After cleaning the throttle, a node calibration is required.

The ignition coils also deliver a lot of trouble. Their resource is about 60 - 80 thousand km. At the failure of the coil, the dynamics of the car drops, and in the process of overclocking, twitching is felt. Sagem coils of Sagem are smaller, a little longer serve BERU. You can determine the "dead" coil when replacing candles, in this case, on the latter there is a black soot along the edge of the thread. Replacing a faulty coil to a new one will cost 1000 - 1500 rubles. Often the cause of the failure of the coil are moisture in the candlestone, which in winter turns into ice. This contributes to the absence of a cover on the engine, as well as the slot under the hood in front of the windshield, formed over time due to noise insulation with the seal.

The starter sometimes begins to capricious after 80 - 100 thousand km. The reason may be a fuse of the retractor relay in the control unit and switching. Another reason can be the absence of contact on the power wire of the starter or the burnt copper plates of the "retractor". Eliminate these reasons is easy and inexpensive. To do this, you need to clean all contacts on the retracting and wires, and stretch the power wire due to the weak contact of which, can melt the retractor relay. The most problematic starters Valeo - the replacement for a new will cost 10-12 thousand rubles.

The area with the engine number is subject to corrosion. So that in the future not to have problems when passing the GTO or the sale of Renault, it is better to process the surface of the number with high-temperature lubrication as soon as possible.

The wire of the 2nd oxygen sensor (lambda probe), under the bottom - in the area of \u200b\u200bthe front doors, helps over time, which can lead to damage to the protrusions on the road. Fix the defect is sufficient simply, additionally secured by hanging part of the wire.

Some owners of the 2nd Megan, after 100 thousand km collided with short-term loss of thrust when accelerating and difficulty in startup. The reason often lies in the steamed filter grid of the fuel pump. After cleaning, the engine work comes to normal. The gas station itself is consistent with over 120 - 160 thousand km. Instead of native, the owners often establish domestic from the VAZ 2110, but its resource is quite small 20 - 50 thousand km. But the price attracts - 2000 rubles against 10,000 rubles for the original.

Engine supports also delivered a lot of hassle owners. The reason in a constructive disadvantage, it turned out to be too weak. When it is death, jerks appear (jerks) when starting, switching gear and reset gas. The rear lower support was the weakest. It was necessary to change it alone already when run 20 - 30 thousand km, and others managed to calmly overcome the mark of 100,000 km. With an external inspection, the defect can not be noticed. To diagnose the problem, you need to shift the engine. The replacement will cost 1500 - 2000 rubles. Since 2008, the support has been strengthened, and its resource has increased significantly. As experience shows, faster dies support from lovers "Plan." It is not worth pulling with her replacement - the engine begins to "walk" in the engine compartment, which can pull new problems. Several cases of the engine fall on the right Slus are noted due to the bunting bolt on the top cushion of the engine. Repairs at the same time cost 25-30 thousand rubles.

The thermostat requires replacement after 80 - 100 thousand km, is required and replacing its laying. If he began to "sweat", stretch the fastening bolts. Otherwise, it is possible to enter the antifreeze and the opposite. If after pulling fixtures or replacing the gasket, the thermostat continues to "hinilable", it will have to replace it. Over time, its housing from heating is deformed, and tightness is lost.

The cooling system pump is working about 60 - 100 thousand km, and more than 120 thousand km go rarely. The crankshaft position sensor will require replacement after 100 thousand km.

The catalyst is usually dying to 90 thousand km. In the process of operation, it sometimes delivers discomfort due to noise (rattling), which appears when starting a cold engine. Warning sound disappears. This feature is manifested when running more than 30 - 60 thousand km. Megan silencers are rather rapidly corrosion, on the surface of which fine holes with a size of 0.5 - 1 mm are formed. There is no tangible changes in sound.

Gasoline 1.6 l is the most massive. The most reliable 1.4 liters. The engines are not distinguished by increased oil consumption even with substantial mileage, with the exception of a 2 liter motor. When running the last more than 100 thousand km, oil consumption increases to 1 liter of 5 thousand km, in the future growing to 1 liter for 2000 - 2500 km, which is the norm. On a 2 liter engine, the ignition coil serve longer.

Information about diesel engines is very small, but among the problems you can select the skews of the washers under the nozzles when running more than 120 thousand km, and the appearance of cracks in the intercooler housing. The fuel filter requires replacement every 30 thousand km, and the EGR valve requires cleaning every 60 thousand km. The turbine lives about 300 thousand km, on some copies, the oil in the intercooler appeared after 150 thousand km.

Transmission

On Renault Megane 2, a mechanical and automatic transmission was installed. Both boxes do not differ high reliability.

A frequent problem on the manual transmission is a scissor of the release bearing when the clutch is turned on. It appears after 60 - 80 thousand km. With twigs in traffic jams, about 70% of Renault Megan Owners are facing. The first shocks appear when running more than 60 thousand km. The reason for the material from which the clutch disk is made, in addition, during heating, the disc leads damper springs. Promotes this and the above-described problem with the lower engine support. As a result, the clutch disc is deformed and wear out unevenly. Replacing the clutch does not save for a long time, everything is repeated after 30 - 40 thousand km. Renault, as it is not strange, knowing about defect, the cardinal solutions does not take. The owners of the new Renault Megan III have encountered exactly the same problem. The clutch kit will cost at 11 - 13 thousand rubles, and non-original - about 6 - 8 thousand rubles. In most cases, the situation is saved by installing the clutch disc from Reno Scenic or Laguna, which will serve at least 100,000 km.

Small inconvenience delivers a gear selection cable that scores from the gear shift skews due to the depreciation of the fixing piston. This happens when there are more than 80 thousand km run. The oil in the manufacturer is recommended for the entire service life, but due to its low quality, car services advise replacement every 60 - 80 thousand km.

RENAULT MEGANE II 2006-2008.

The main reason for the failure of automatic boxes is to clog the valves in the hydraulic distributor. The problem may arise already when running 40 thousand km. Her decision will cost 6 - 8 thousand rubles. As prevention, a more frequent oil change and a unhurried ride manner is recommended. Some automata passed 200 thousand km, without complaints. When running more than 60 - 80 thousand km, a number of owners ran into vibrations when the gear is turned on. The reason for the wear of the engine support, but there is less pleasant - the destruction of the fastening bolt of the automatic transmission. In the latter case, it will be necessary to drill the remaining part of the bolt and cutting new threads.

Chassis

The weak element in the suspension is the support bearings, begin to crunch at a mark of 50 - 60 thousand km. The front hub bearings serve at least 60 thousand km, and the rear over 100 - 120 thousand km. By 80 - 90 thousand km will require replacement of the stabilizer rack, and 100 thousand km and the ball support. When running more than 140 thousand km to replace, the silent blocks of the subframe bracket, shock absorbers, silent blocks of the rear lever and stabilizer bushings are suitable.

By 60 thousand km will require the replacement of steering tips, and the steering traction takes up to 90 - 100 thousand km. The steering rack begins to knock after 100 thousand km. The reason is the wear of the plastic sleeve.

The brakes of special complaints do not cause. The front pads go at least 30 thousand km, and the discs are about 50 - 60 thousand km, as well as the rear pads. The rear brake discs live at least 100 thousand km, and the drums are almost 250 - 300 thousand km. When running more than 100 thousand km attentive, look at the brake hoses that begin to pars. Cases are not massive, but incidents with loss of tightness are found.

Electrical equipment

Electrical part of Renault Megan is a whole epic. Deep puddles can easily cause the failure of the fuse block due to water from entering water. Yes, and the fuses themselves are not very convenient in the block, causing difficulties when replacing most of them.

If the charge is lost from the generator or incorrect current of the charge of the engine speed at idle increase to 1000 - 1500. The reason is either in a faulty relay - the regulator or the worn generator brushes. Sometimes even the replacement of the generator assembly (15 - 16 thousand rubles) does not solve the problem. In this case, it helps a banal disconnection from it chips. The problem occurs when running about 60-80 thousand km and mainly on Valeo generators. The pulley of the generator is wears 100 thousand km.

Bad contact on the battery terminals or its ambulance, cause malnutries that are manifested in chaotic lighting of the alarm lamps and turning on the electrical appliances accompanied by the message on the screen of the Electronic Fault. The same happens when the switching block fails.

The safety plug in the steering column is broken after 60 - 80 thousand km. It is only for sale assembly with stealless switches for 8-10 thousand rubles. Relocation will be cheaper on a new train. The sign of the fast cliff will serve the appearance of silk in the steering column when the steering wheel is turned. Causes - either the crossroads of several teeth of the planetary mechanism, or a breakdown of the loop fixation tongue, or improper installation of the steering rack without fixing the steering wheel in a neutral position. Because of the free movement, the loop is froze, and then breaks down.

On cars older than 2006, often in crude and wet weather briefly disappears the image on the display of the onboard computer.

Often, when running more than 60 - 80 thousand km, electric windows are denied - mostly front, since they use them more often. The reason in the enclosure of the drive due to the destruction of the jumper of the plastic body of the gearbox, as well as the wear of the drum on which the cable is wound. The mechanism assembly costs about 6-8 thousand rubles, but it is possible to manufacture a broken part under the order. Those who have a pulsed wind-winding electric motor, after removing the power from the battery, you will need their initialization. Otherwise, the glass will move stepwise.

Crashing drain holes in front of the windshield, lead to the ointment of the engine wiper motor and its failure. In addition, in this case the contact track will be blocked on the switching and protection board. Screwed trapezes will require lubricants to 100 - 120 thousand km.

The weak point is the corrugation between the trunk lid and the body. Despite the absence of external damage, there is often wires there turn out to be trimmed, which leads to loss of license plate lighting and makes it impossible to manage the trunk lock.

Over time, the reverse lights can go out. The reason in sticking the reverse and neutral sensor contact.

Body and Salon

The car body is well resisting an external aggressive environment as an example of many eminent concerns. Skoli from small pebbles do not rust. On machines older than 2 years, a paint defect is manifested, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear arches, paint bubbles appear, not progressive with time and non-rust. On some machines, over 2006, there are sometimes corrosion points on the thresholds and at the bottom of the doors. You can also possibly appear in the place of fastening the hinge of the trunk to the body - because of the cluster there is dirt. Over time, it starts to give in to the "sandblast" paint coating thresholds. Native steel discs are quickly covered by corrosion foci.

A large vent hole on the back of the rear light allows you to easily penetrate insect. In this case, the grid will help, fixed with glue or sealant.

RENAULT MEGANE II 2006-2008.

In the cabin after 40 - 60 thousand km often appear crickets. Their habitat is very wide: a torpedo, driver's seat, air conditioning control console, speed pointer glass, spring in the handbraft under the button, salon plafof and the place of fastening of sun visors. Most often, the creak comes from the seal between the torpedo and the windshield, which is disturbing with time. Sources of noise and spare fuses under the left lid. Sometimes during the passage of irregularities begin to creak the rear doors. Get rid of this helps lubricant locks and winding of the electrical hinge with electrical hinge. The clutch pedal hits and in this case will help lubrication of the sleeve inside the adhesion suspension.

On machines older than 3 years, the rubberized coating of the internal door handles is typing, and the seat belts are poorly returned back due to the elasticity of the springs of the return mechanism.

A big trouble is the appearance of water in the cabin under the legs of the front passenger and the driver. It penetrates into the salon through the air intake of the ventilation system. The reason is a constructive drawback of the water removal system from under the niche in the area of \u200b\u200bfastening of wipers. The stock is easily clogged, and the bandwidth of the drain valve is reduced. Over time, water falls into the trunk due to the tightness of the rubber seals of its cover.

Due to the savory insulation and seals under the hood in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear wall of the engine compartment, heat from there enters the salon through the ventilation system. In this case, warm air always blows out of the air ducts. Exit from position - Installing an additional bracket on the seal.

The air conditioning system will also require the close attention of the owners of Renault Megane II. Often the reason for the front bumper under the right headache becomes not inclusive of the air conditioner. Despite the whole isolation, the wire itself inside is damaged. At the same time, when trying to start the air conditioner, clicks. The problem arises when running more than 60 thousand km.

Meganany until 2007 fell under a response company due to the jamming of the air conditioner compressor. The air conditioner clutch bearing begins to make noise already when running more than 90 thousand km. Loss of tightness of the air conditioning system is a common problem that requires periodic refueling system. Weak link - lower air conditioner radiator flange. If the engine began to warm up the engine, then it's time to clean the air conditioner radiator.

Conclusion

As a result, it turns out a fairly large list of possible faults. Most likely, a bright appearance and a very attractive price in the secondary market will take up. Yes, and the shortcomings described are not as critical, and most of them are eliminated in the process of warranty service.
