    Definately 'B' is the right answer. If anyone else owns a Renault Megane diesel and you get the Engine Management Light / Check Injection System could need a regeneration.
    It's not even hard - you just need to drive on the motorway, let the engine get hot then change speed to 50mph and put the car in 5th gear and drive for 14 miles.
    At some point 7-12 miles in, you'll feel the engine chug a little - that's okay as it's doing a DPF regeneration (burning up fuel deposits in the exhaust).
    I found this technique out by nicely asking my local Renault Dealer.

    I have a 2011 1.5 automatic diesel Fluence. It has a push button ignition. It's been sluggish in the morning starting and takes 2 or 3 goes and longer on frosty mornings. Once started it's fine for the day. I changed battery thinking it was that, definitely not alternator and I don't think start. I have a feeling it's the glow plugs. I bought some but am nervous putting them in incase I snap old ones or the new ones.

    • @CarsExposed
      @CarsExposed  4 роки тому

      Very likely to be the glow plugs , to be honest it’s a hit or miss with glow plugs i am also very weary of them , why don’t you test them first very easy with a test light or multimeter 👍

    Hi
    Well done here!
    The measure of the sensor is difficult to do or judge just based on the multimeter reading... as is not quick enough to show breaks on the signal for example...
    But is indeed enough to see if is responding...
    Curious too see what's next...
    👍👍👍

    • @CarsExposed
      @CarsExposed  6 років тому +1

      Thanks mate, That’s right unless it fails completely will be difficult to condemn the sensor without scoping it... 2 things that’s making this job difficult for me are not being able to check live data and scope the sensor... but you know Xmas is coming, I know you have a good heart 😁...

    Would it be the exaust valve underneath the car. Ever hear that high pitch buzz after you switch car off? , that is the exhaust valve going through the motions of shutting down. Currently have the garage telling me those 2 codes are showing one for glow plug other for exhaust valve, but there are no problems showing on my dash? Bit slower to start on a cold morning but that's it nothing obvious on the dash warning lights?

Put it into my local garage and be found the fault to be the multifunction control box in the engine bay. Turns out fancy fuse boxes cost a fortune (£234) from Renault. Cars all fixed now though! My glow plug change had nothing to do with it, there was some corrosion on the box and it wasn't giving out the correct voltage so the car was going tits.
