So Arthur buy a Renault Captur!!

........a quick search ont tinternet brings up the theme of pencil coils being a well known fault on Scenics (well Renaults) If I were you Id have these checked... get it fixed...........and then PX the Scenic for a Captur......problem solved.....good luck bud!

 

[arthur folkard]

[Ythsie]

Haha! It's a new Renault!! That's why the Forum is called 'Captur Forum'.
It's for punters who love Capturs! Get along to your Renault dealer and they'll show you one!!

 

[arthur folkard]

ok well ive found the scenic 1 now sorry

No sweat, Arthur Folkard. Please come back when you have bought a Captur. We will welcome you with open arms. Sorry we could not help with the scenic. Perhaps an ex-Scenic owner who has now bought a Captur could help.

Any ex-scenic owners out there ? I am an ex-Megane owner, so can't help as I have not had this problem with my old car.

hi Arthur, never had this problem with a Scenic but did have it with an old Vauxhal. turned out it was an air pipe that had come loose and was letting air in whenever i pulled up or stopped pressing the throttle. hope this helps

 

[TC Eddy]

Would I right by saying the pipe was a vacuum pipe Tony? I had similar on my last car as it had split it made engine management light come on it cost £2.50 for a new one it was perfect after that but the ECu had to go through 3 full start stop cycles before the engine light went off.....it did just that!!
It never cut out though just reduced power!
I still reckon Arthurs problem will be pencil coils my sons Clio is 07 and so far has had 2 new sets fitted.....

 

[bigbadtony]

think it was TC. i know nothing about engines but noticed the jubilee clip had come loose with the pipe and once i reattched it i never had the problem again

 

[bigbadtony]

and sorry TC hadnt seen your earlier post about the pencil coils...but what a great excuse for Arthur to trade for a Captur

 

[Tyrfelin]

Good luck with your quest!
