Renault Mechanic's / Scenic Intermittent Starting Fault

[Chequered Flag Racing]

SIL has a 53 Plate Scenic

hot or cold it has this annoying Intermittent Starting Fault

engine runs fine when it's running, no misfire etc

one minute it'll start the next it won't, it's becoming a nusiance for her

have changed the battery in the remote

yeah same thing just different name
the one in that link is the one you need to change
i didn't read all 11 pages but i guess in there it will mention the blue coloured modified part & the wiring plug & harness change

[cjm_2008]

rip out the whole engine management system and replace with one of these....



... then if it fails to start, all you need is a bit of emery cloth and some WD40.

I haven't yet but phone local Renault dealer and it's circa £50 for both parts needed
