1999 Renault Megane Coupe from UK and Ireland - Comments

Only problem I have had with Renault Megane is immobilizer, gave the car to my son, got fed up with lining Renault's pockets. New Ford car owner.

I am having the same problem and it seems to happen in raining weather... one day the key works the next it doesn't...had the key re soldered and the light is now showing on camera phone... How do I take the immobiliser bit off to dry???

Hi all. Any Megane immobiliser problems then I'm happy to help you get your car going. I've helped several people in the past and got cars started. I'm not a mechanic and don't fix cars, I just help ordinary people like myself.. any immobiliser problems and I'll help you as much as I can.. best of all I do it for free. Thanks for looking.

Having read all the problems with the immobiliser, where do I start? Have changed the battery`s in the fob (start easy first), but no good. I have a Renault Scenic Megane S reg.

Apart from pushing the car into the sea, what can I do? Any help appreciated.

I have the immobiliser problem, I have found that leaving anything on or open without the engines started will set off the immobiliser. I don't know how to fix the problem, but you can get it started again by bump starting it in second, works every time for me.

Hi I have a Renault Megane 2.0 convertible W reg.

The car starts 1st time every time when cold, but when it reaches normal running temp, if I stop the engine it will not restart for at least 5 minutes, and the longest being 25 minutes, but the starter turns over with no problems.

I presume something needs time to cool before it will let the car start again.

I searched this forum and someone suggested replacing the TDC sensor, which I did, but the problem still exists.

If I need petrol, I have to leave the engine running whilst I fill up!

Has anyone managed to resolve this problem?

Many thanks!
