Nothing, just a burnt main headlight bulb. Repaired for free.
Excellent car to drive and maintain.
It lacks a little low end power, but nothing drastic, you get a lot of power from this great 1.6 engine, better than average.
Fuel consumption is brilliant.
Paint quality is superb.
Lots of techies for low money.
Hi, I have a Renault Megane Coupe 1996 model. I came accidentally across this page as I am looking for a diesel engine to fit in my Megane. In my opinion my model of the megane is beautiful, but it uses too much fuel. And the problem is that it is not so powerful. Had it been powerful, the excessive consumption would have been justified.
Apart from the high fuel consumption, I can only say words of praise with regards to the Megane. First of all it has a very beautiful shape and it is has a good drive.
I would like to ask anybody out there whether they know anyone who changed the Megane's engine to a diesel engine? Do you think think that I can fix the 19 dTi of the Megane Classic without having any problems? Please if anyone can help me solve this problem, please do so.

There's a big difference in the engines of the 1996 and 2000 up models: 16 valves instead of 8, 110 HP on the 1600cc model as compared with 90, better fuel economy.
As for diesels, they're very popular with fleet cars where I live.
