so i brought myself a 5 year old trophy megane sport.
lovely motor.
bit of accident damage here and there, nothing a lick of paint cant fix.
but driving home one night (two weeks after purchase)
the car begin to misfire.
RAC pops out and plugs in his diagnostic tool. cylinder 4 is miss firing.
so changed the plug and it still does it.
there is neat petrol firing out the exhaust!
i have had this at a few diagnostic places and and now finally at renault.
renault themselves are a bunch of idiots.
rang me at work to say the turbo had gone as there was lots of smoke.
to which i pointed out did u read the notes with the car? there is neat fuel in the exhaust..hope my cat isnt damaged.
this caused panic and they have rolled the car out of their workshop and into the service yard for it to rot!
plus the renault engineer or whatever they are called didnt know if the cylinder futhest from the gearbox is nr 1 or nr 4!!!!
can an injector stick open and allow fuel to just pour straight through?
would this be anything to do with the car hitting the cold limiter by accident! (i didnt know the car had one)
could it be a turbo?
valve stuck?
or as one diagnostic place told me..it has to go to renault only as it looks and sounds like a software error!!
save me someone before renault give me a bill for £100 an hour, a broken car and a fooked cat convertor!
its been off the road now 3 weeks.
at least the R5 keeps going and gets me to work!
thank you
