it did not want to start after a few times the light came on on the dashboard the one with the little red engine symbol on it.
Could be anything, - or at least many different things. And the best way to find out is obviously to call in the Renault folks, or rather their Diaglogys software... The fault will be recorded in the computer. I don't think the EGR could cause this. But if they had your car in their hands, maybe they pushed some wires around by accident ? I have had two faults on my 2002 2.2dci (also a "The Race") - the one was the TDC sensor, and the other was the wires from the turbo-pressure sensor which had been cut by the aircon-compressor belt. The wires had somehow fallen down onto the belt, and slowly, they were worn through. I don't think my TDC problem gave the "engine" symbol, but rather the "electronic" symbol (the zigzag pictogram) - so this hint may be way off, but it can do no harm to check its connection. The TDC sensor at the bottom of the flywheel, and you can get to it from under the car. I have attached a picture, where I have circled out the TDC sensor itself. It is "clipped" onto the angine, and must touch the flywheel (!) - and the connector is apparently not up to the job. On the picture, I had the connector taken apart, as you can see from the dangling connector :-) |

If you take a look at the thread "Loss of power - temporarily" ( /forum/index.php?topic=258.0 ) you will find some information relating to the EGR and in it I'd posted a photograph of the location of the valve along with details of how to remove it..... quite easy to get at and reasonably straight forward to remove other than for one of the 3 bolts that is a bit difficult to get at. Chances are you'll find a small piece of carbon lodged in one of the two diaphragms of the EGR or a build up of carbon in the diaphragm seats or on the shaft. I don't think you'll find that your valve will have exceptionally heavy deposits of carbon.... I say that not because its only 5 months old but because usually if it gets wedged open with a lot of carbon then although you would be able to get the engine to rev it would have very little pulling power and also the warning light on the dash comes on, which you didn't get. If it sticks open only slightly then you have a lack of responsiveness from the engine although you can still manage to get some pulling power and the warning light doesn't come on. I've attached a picture of the valve from a 2.2dCi so that you know what to expect once you have it removed and can see the two diaphragms that are likely to need the carbon removing. Hope that helps and you get it sorted. Martin |

Yes, isn't life just great sometimes ?! - "Doctors Order" :-) I think I'll go pour myself a good Islay whisky, as I've also just read alcohol makes you live longer. Cheers! /Lennart |
