The car Renault Megan is in great demand in the domestic market. But as experience shows this demand, decreases from year to year. It is probably due to the increase in statistics and a sufficient number of reviews about this car. Therefore, the main disadvantages of Renault Megane of the third generation with which the owners of these cars faced and which it is important to know each potential buyer.
Weak places Renault Megan 2009-2016 release
- "SAZHEZHIK";
- Phase management;
- Starter;
- Bearing of the primary shaft MCPP;
- Clutch Final Bearing;
- Windshield.

Sypt filter (in vehicles with diesel engines).
Immediately we can say that during the operation of the car in European countries, the particulate filter delivers not so many problems as during the operation of Megan 3 in Russia. It is due to it, oddly enough, the low quality of domestic diesel fuel. Therefore, not only in the Renault Megane, the particulate filter is a headache for owners of their cars, but also in other cars of other brands and models with diesel engines. Accordingly, when choosing Megan with a diesel engine, it is important to pay attention to the absence of errors on the bugs on the scene of Saberius and check the externally dynamic characteristics of the car. When the filter is lost, the power is lost, they float at idle and smoke exhaust appears periodically.
Phase management.
One of the common problems in Megane is a phase management. Mainly the average resource of the phase regulator is the same as the timing belt, i.e. 50-60 thousand km Therefore, almost always when replacing the timing belt, the phase management changes. The first signs of the dying phase management is characteristic noise (grinds and knocks) when starting the engine. Accordingly, when buying Renault Megan needs to pay attention to the absence of characteristic sounds when the engine is running.
Starter (in a car with gasoline engines 1.6 l.).
Unfortunately, the starter on cars with gasoline engines of 1.6 liters is a sore place. The first signs and subsequent problems with the starter are increased noise (grinding, knock) when the engine is started. It is determined by the fact that the starting mechanism does not go to its original position after the launch and the following "loud contact" with the flywheel teeth occurs. Therefore, when buying a car, you need to make several times and make sure that the starter's satisfactory work.
Bearing of the primary shaft (on machines with MCPP).
The failure of the bearing of the primary shaft of the mechanical gearbox met in the warranty period of operation. Consequently, if anyone has no problems with the bearing under warranty, it will soon happen. In general, when buying any car, it is necessary to carefully check the performance of any transmission and lack of extraneous noise and sounds when gear shifts. It is important to remember that the checkpoint is the second most important unit in the car.
Clutch outlet bearing.
The clutch is generally not a weak point, but the resource of the refinement bearing is about 50-60 thousand km. Run. The first sign of the sore of onrenault megane, as well as on other cars with MCPP, concerning the release bearing is a knock when the clutch exits with the engine center. With the full breakdown of the bearing, turn on, it will not be possible at all. Therefore, it is important when you trial running before purchasing to draw attention to the work of the clutch and the absence of extraneous knocks when switching transmissions.
Paintwork car coverage This is the first thing that rushes into the eye with an external inspection. And since the LCP on Megan does not differ in high quality, it is necessary to carefully inspect the entire body of the car and pay special attention to the thresholds, the door of the trunk and the wings. Often the LCP in the above places begins to bubble. It is important to note that the varnish is very susceptible even to the smallest contact with minor objects.
Weak windshield.
Many owners of the third generation megananov came across such a nuisance, as when the windshield is turned on, the windshield could crack in several places. It is important to remember that if the replacement of simple windshield is not so expensive, then the replacement of glass with the rain sensor it will be more expensive. You need to pay for it. Especially it does not take much time.
The main disadvantages of Renault Megane 3rd Generation
- Complaints of electronics;
- Insufficient noise insulation of motor edema;
- Little place rear passengers;
- Insufficient visibility;
- Expensive brake discs;
- Low percentage of the possibility of repair by own forces;
- Fast fall in price.
Outcome.
In conclusion, we can say that Renault Megan does not shine with its quality compared to its competitors of other brands and models. Therefore, before buying a car, it is necessary to take into account all weak and strengths of megan and make the appropriate conclusions. And the most important thing, in the event that the choice fell on Megan, this is when you buy completely digitize all systems and car units in the authoritative service.
P.S.: Dear car owners, write in the comments about the frequent breakdowns and the sores of your megan detected during operation.

Support Dmitry. Experience of ownership of Megan3 TDI, 110L.S. For 4 years. Prigann from France in 2014, with a mileage of 50 bees (native 142 t.km.)) he himself drove another 150 t.km.
The particulate filter did not disturb 3 years while periodically traveled along the highway. On the 4th year, sometimes the errors began to appear, but after leaving the track and a small trip (20-50 km) everything disappears. On the track, the car burns itself the same. On the clutch, the box, the engine is not there. LCPs on the arches in two places got a little launched, under it metal galvanized. I go for the time 2nd year, there is no hint of rust. I have almost like a replacement for replacement: support shock absorbers, shock absorbers 2 pcs (only because it struck 1stak), brake discs front and one ball. Cable handbrake. The rest of consumables. I go and glad, I am satisfied with the car. - Andrew
You both unites you that I bought a car and drove from France, so you have less pronounced flaws.
Not many can afford such high-quality assembly.
Operating conditions compare with abroad and in Russia - significantly different and cars with such mileage can be considered new.
Operating conditions, climate, road quality - must be considered. - Valentina
I own 2 l Megan's 137ls from 2013 Turkish assembly replacement of shock absorbers replacement of brake pads is now buggy with free hands in raw weather for 5 years. Replacing the oil and under warranty in the gearbox cable Substitution Everything is pleased to operate
- Dmitriy
I own Renault Megan 3 Diesel 2010 G.V. Mileage 260 thousand. During this time, one bubble appeared on the threshold, which is galvanized under the paint and does not bloom further. The body color during this time did not respond. I changed the hodovka, the Syazhevik carved, the clutch is native, climbed to change the inserts for 200 thousand, but they were not one loan on them. The liners begin to go out due to the quality of the oil or overflow the nozzles (which change the quality of the oil) if the oil changes through 8 thousand problems. Follow in Lukoil and Rosneft. In winter, it was not necessary to change the fuel filter in the winter with the plant. In the cabin quietly, the covering is soft and not cheap plastic as in many modern cars. On consumables, the car is not expensive in service.
During its conveyor life, the second generation Megane pleased its buyers with a bright design, high comfort and security. The car, even in modern standards, does not look outdated, thanks to it makes a rather attractive purchase.
What can be said about the reliability of the model?
After all, there are many rumors about French cars that are associated with their low reliability and maintainability. However, in the case of this model, things are actually far from being so bad. So, about everything in more detail and in order.
If you are already owned by Renault Megan 2 - we offer free download, and if you are just going to get a Frenchman, then reading this article and you will learn the nuances and features to be paid to when buying a "bashing" Renault Megane 2.
Problems in the salon Megan 2nd generation
Begin acquaintance with the interior of the "BESSNIY" Megan necessarily need from checking the work of all windows and microclimate systems (its fan). There is a chance and more serious problems of Renault Megan 2. It happens that the electrical wiring loop can break, because of which the airbag becomes not working. And it will have to change it only with the steering wheel switches block, without options. The interior of the car can sometimes publish when driving irregularities of unpleasant screens.
About lighting
But here everything is definitely not so unambiguously, many Meganovodas complain that the lamps of near light often burn out of cars, but to replace the laborious matter. Also, due to poor tightness of optics there is a possibility of oxidation of contacts.
Body car Renault Megan 2
There are already five body versions! Hatchback in three and five-door versions, sedan, wagon and exclusive coupe-convertible. In Russia, all types come across, but a huge number of machines sold with hatchback bodies and sedan. According to the reviews of the owners of Megan, the body of French cars can be very good. If there are a lot of rust, and it is more than in their foci (and foci is almost always in the rear wheeled arches), then, in most cases, the car visited the accident, and was not very high-quality repairs.
Operation of Motors Renault Megan 2nd Generation
There was a pretty good range of power units - gasoline sixteenthly patched four-cylinder 1.4, 1.6 and two-liters in which power varies from 82 to 136 forces! There was also a choice of two-liter turbo units, power 163-225 hp! Here, only one weak point in the "renicted" gasoline 1.6 and 2-liter units refuses the mechanism of a smooth settlement of the phases of gas distribution, as in other models of the company with similar motors. There were cases when this system denied 30 tons. Kilometers of run. But most often its resource can be approximately 80 tons. kilometers. The engine's airbag is also the same resource, but if you drive aggressively, it can be cut in twice.
It happens that the contacts of the "crankshaft" sensor are oxidized, which can sometimes lead to the fact that the motor will stop at all. A similar situation can be observed due to the batch "battery".
It is worth noting that Megane 2 approximately every 60 tons. Kilometers requires "updates" of all rollers and timing belt. This work is better not to trust garage masters. For example, they often do not reach the fastening bolt, because of which the pulley is almost always turning. The result will be the "meeting" of valves with pistons. Together with the timing belt, it is necessary to change the drive belt of the attachment and the pump. There are no complaints and big complaints to turbodiesel engines. They have a working range from 1.5 to two liters, and the power of 80-150 forces, by the way, the most powerful and moment of all base megans is the two-liter turbodiesel!
Transmission (gearbox) Renault Megane 2. Typical sores of "automaton"
As with many other Renault, buy used, better with a mechanical transmission. Before buying, you need to make sure that there are no oil lines at the junction of the gearbox and the clutch crankcase. In general, "mechanics" will not deliver problems. And those who still decided to choose versions with the "automatic" may face problems associated with the hydraulic block, the hydrotransformer, the replacement of the seals, and the failure of the modulation valves.
Operation of suspension and running Renault Megan II
She has the highest smoothness of the stroke with excellent handling, however, almost like all the French of this class, regardless of their generation. With reliability, everything is almost perfect. Here, only one weak point is the support bearings of the front racks. And otherwise all the details are much more durable. If the ball supports have to be replaced after 60 tons. Kilometers, then Silent blocks "go" twicear than. The branded details go only complete with the lever, because of which they are quite expensive. In principle, you can save if you buy non-original parts. With rear suspension everything is in perfect order - it is pretty reliable - It does not arise any problems with it. It is half-dependent type (mechanism with twisting beam).
Steering
Here, most often can "cover" steering traction and rail sleeve. It consoales the fact that the rack itself is maintainable.
As can be seen from this review, things are not so bad. If you enter in the search engine "Renault Megan 2 reviews of the owner", you can make sure that the car is not so bad, especially if it is sold in a good technically good condition. In this case, you are most likely not disappointed.
The second generation megan in terms of reliability is among the leaders on one step, for example, with peugeot 307, and only slightly inferior to Opel Astra. Also, possible problems are more than compensated by the fact that Renault will cost a little cheaper than their "sworn" competitors, plus all the low prices for spare parts.
Video - Used Renault Megan 2
Renault Megan second generation turned out to be very modern at the time of the exit and a secure car. The body structure of the body is well developed by experts from Renault, which confirm the excellent result by the crash test from Euroncap.
There is no problem in terms of resistance to corrosion. Of course, with time in some places, there can be a point or small bloating paint, but it is almost unrealistic to find rotten megan. An exception can be made out that cars visited serious accidents and poor-quality recovered. The only essential problem with the body in the first editions was associated with noise insulation, which doubled on a strong frost and walked the waves grabbing and the roof.
Also, after the purchase it is necessary to process a place with a body number, for there is a significant risk of corrosion and subsequent difficulties in registration actions.
Megan came to Russia with 3 motors. This is 1.4 98 hp (K4J), 1.6 110 hp (K4M) and 2.0 135 hp (F4R). The first and the latter are not so common on Meganany, we will stop the poet on the chassis motor 1.6. He has been produced since 1999 to today and put on many Renault models.
The main and widespread problem of this motor, is a phase show.
Moreover, the motor 1.4 this problem does not concern in general, for the lack of a phase regulator. And on a two-liter, this problem can get out only with significant problems. At the time, at 1.6, the fault is still manifested on small runs. From the symptoms - short-term cracks immediately after starting the motor, unstable engine operation, dynamics loss, as well as an increase in fuel consumption. The solution to the problem is to replace the gear, since 2008, an upgraded version has been available, but the problem remained and successfully moved to Megan's 3rd generation.
Once in 60 thousand will require replacement of the crankshaft pulley from which the belt is on the generator drive, because An axial backlash appears with the wear of the pulley and the risk of jamming the mechanism appears. Together with the pulley it is recommended to replace and the crankshaft gears on the upgraded under the installation with the key.
The rest of the engine is quite reliable and ready for great runs.
There are no complaints about the mechanical transmission, for eliminating the small resource of the clutch node. But there is enough questions on the machine, since this is not known to many - the French automatic DP0 AL4.
DP0 AL4. On the replacement of oil in this automatic transmission
The main problems that may occur are a malfunction of the solenoids of the hydroblock and the failure of the hydroblock itself. This is affected by the level of oil pollution, which affects the temperature and, accordingly, the larger load on the hydraulic lobby. It is aggravated by the fact that the car does not have a separate radiator cooling automatic transmission, for this it is used a heat exchanger, which over time is clogged and does not give proper cooling of the automatic transmission.
As prevention of faults, you can recommend not to use automatic transmission in the forensic modes, not to stop, eliminate sharp starts, especially with two pedals. Monitor the quality of oil in the transmission and if necessary to change. When replacing the heat exchanger, it is even better to install a full-fledged automatic transmission radiator. In general, the box is sufficient braking, and if there is no sharp need for a machine, it is better to refrain from the acquisition of megan with automatic transmission.
The main places on the electrics are the ignition coils, the resource of which is 50,000-60,000 km. There are problems with a stressful submissive loop on the airbag. The fuse block is unsuccessfully located, which gives problems with access to it and at the same time increases the risk of moisture ingress there.
Also cost to note quickly failed the bearing of the air conditioner compressor by machines until 2007 released, which fell under a response company.
On runs after 80,000, problems can occur with the starter.
On the chassis, it is worth noting the weak engine cushions, as well as support bearings, which can cool already with a small mileage.
The steering rail goes more than 100,000, after the knocks may appear due to the wear of the plastic sleeve. Otherwise, there are no critical problems on the chassis. Moreover, it is worth noting that it is perfectly adapted for our roads.
On the salon there are some claims to plastic, it is quite oak. Over time, crickets appear in the panel. Externally, today the salon looks outdated.
Of the troubles, it is possible to distinguish water to the salon from the scoring drainage tubes, so if one day I found a puddle in the passenger's legs - do not be afraid, but do the drainage cleaning.
On runs more than 100,000, there may be problems with windows, mainly front.
In general, if we put all the nuances of the car turned out to be quite good, but not deprived of certain shortcomings, which in the aggregate can make it seem whether it is worth taking this model or to a minimum of being ready for possible problems.
Sincerely, Alexander Talin.
Renault Megan initially conquered users with design: the appearance of the hatchback favorably distinguished the car from other models included in the S. Group The manufacturer tried to solve the most fully as a security task, and he managed it - all drivers Renaults celebrate the pluses - high-equipped car with damper pillows, durable racks, Control sensors of illumination, weather.
Megan "runs" on Russian roads over 12 years, two generations of cars changed. During this time, all the pros and cons "Frenchman" appeared. General total - the car retains attractiveness and popularity among drivers and passengers: malfunctions, disadvantages and sores with more than the positive characteristics of the machine. Among the most important, the following benefits can be distinguished.
Positive features of the model
- The pluses of using the car include: relatively low for models of their level price in combination with representative appearance. In addition, the car is equipped with an anti-theft system with a chip key. The combination of all factors makes it safe in terms of opposition and stability to theft.
- The second group of qualities of Renault, causing positive emotions, includes the possibilities of the salon, the motor compartment and the cargo compartment. Reliability, first of all, characterized by materials from which the body elements are made: plastic front plumage and corrosion-resistant spars and panels provide the durability of the car body. At the same time, there are also cons: lacquer in some places of the car does not "enjoy" the resource put it.
- In the layout of the dashboard, sensors and signal lamps, keys and controls of the controller, the manufacturer largely implemented the principle of convenience and functionality: even the audio system starts with a subworched rack. Minuses Many drivers call the low durability of the finishes of the handles and buttons. On the seats, the owners often sew new covers, the ram is lined with a leather braid.
- Pros - this is a huge, conveniently planned space of the cabin. And the front, and the rear seats are thought out in such a way that the legs of the passengers are always comfortable. In addition to the front luggage box in the cabin there are boxes, niches and pockets in panels that are stining various elements of the cabin. In general, all users note the spaciousness of the trunk, the protection of the workpiece, an interesting design.
- To operate in Russian climatic conditions, the car makes a suitable powerful stove. The sneaky move is achieved due to multicomponent noise insulation. Megan is distinguished by maneuverability and ease of rotation of the steering wheel.
Special attention zones
Weak places the car has, but their list depends on the model release period. By minuses relating to all Renault Megan, regularly occurring malfunctions are:
- phase management failure;
- susceptibility of candleted coils to poor-quality washing of the cylinder block;
- the failure of the damper on the crankshaft pulley;
- stretching belt, tension roller wear;
- the loss of the elasticity of choke flap sealing gaskets in the air supply system.
Weak link in Stacks Megan 1 - support bearings. On the second generation models, the lower support cushions of the power unit are quickly faced: this malfunction happens on cars belonging to fans of a quick ride. 
Cons that manifest themselves with time:
- maybe the starter Megan can be enraged, if not to care for contacts regularly. Usually, the repair is limited to the replacement of the retractor;
- corrosive the tract of the release of exhaust gases;
- stops functioning coal adsorber and lambda sensor;
- the clutch fails - the release and disk fails;
- drainage holes are clogged in the boilers, in addition to this trouble, the insulation "fur coat" on the roof and panels will be saved. This malfunction is manifested in the salon of water and hot wind.
Renault Renault Megan is a plus, which appreciated the owners of the car. Hovering suspension ensures reliable operation of the car when running 100 thousand kilometers. Its malfunctions are usually caused by a manner ride.
The second generation of Renault Megan cars was presented in 2002 at the Motor Show in Paris. After the debut, the production of five-door and three-door hatchbacks began, a coupie-convertible coupe with the COP and the COP and the compactment called Scenic II, in the same year, in the same year the French producer decided to supplemented by Gama Wagon Break. In 2006, the first generation of the model survived restyling, and in 2008 it was removed from production.
The most memorable and bright detail in the appearance of the second generation megan was the lid of the luggage compartment, which caused an ambiguous reaction from motorists.
Body. On the used Renault Megane second generation rubber glass seals have the property to spare by themselves. The 2005 hatchbacks of production also have one weakness, they have rear windows without visible causes, so before you buy such an instance is better to make sure, the ex-his owner eliminated this problem and did not ignore the response campaign. Renault second-generation megan sedans suffer an even more exotic problem, in some samples in severe frosts, a roof is released. Most often, such cases were marked in the winter of 2006 in harsh frosts, the cause of such a phenomenon became finished attached panels of the roof thermorellation, which were compressed from the cold and told metal. In 2007, the creators began to use thermal insulation from other materials. Therefore, if the senior machines do you find traces of repair, then this is not a sign of emergency past.
All bodies used auto Renault Megane II received enough reliable corrosion protection: the floor of the trunk and the front wings were made of polypropylene plastic, and all metal panels were galvanized. But in any case, time affects the body and rust can appear in the rear wheeled arches, where the paint is erased to metal. Owners of such cars regularly need to follow the state of anti-gravial stickers on the rear wings, as they are easily separated when washing. The owners must also at least once a year before the windshield to clean the holes of the drainage, otherwise you can not only dilute the swamp in the cabin, but also strongly dug thermoregulation and noise insulation on the engine compartment and even change the trapezing of janitors who can not be able to Work after that.
When inspection of used Renault Machine Megan second generation, special attention should be paid to the work of lighting. It is known that the ignition of xenon can often be released due to moisture in it through the oxidation of the electrocontact. The near halogen lamps do not serve for a long time, but it is very difficult to change them, it falls on the touch through special hatches that are in the wheel arches in front. Dorestayling sedans suffer by placing the rear light scatterer, in addition, their optics often turn out to be leather.
Salon. Compared to the body used by Renault Megane II, his salon is less avant-garde, but in general everything is spacious and comfortable. In the cabin of this vehicle there is a large number of different boxes, tanks, pockets and gloves.
One of the weakest places of the salon is considered to be electrical windows, or rather, the control buttons them. The fabric used for the upholstery of the door does not have sufficient resistance to planting. With intensive operation, the rubber plastic coating on the inner surface of the door handles can completely cut down in a few years.
The left front counter slightly limits visibility with lateral overview. Torpedo on some copies perishes the tubes of windshield. In a driver's chair, it is convenient to accommodate people of any configuration due to a wide range of steering wheel adjustments and a driver's seat. But in winter, the carpet is a tendency to get out of overlays.
And the wagon, and the Renault Sedan Megan have a longer wheel base than the hatchback, thanks to this, the passengers of the back row seats feel more comfortable. In the hatchbacks of the height of the roof, it is enough for a comfortable landing of passengers of middle growth to 1.8 m.
The climate control system of the cabin may refuse to work because of the control unit or fan, after a run of 100 thousand km. The situation is significantly deteriorated, as there is a high probability of jamming the air conditioner compressor. After 80-100 thousand km of mileage in the wiring tire may occur in the steering column, the harbingers of this problem are clicks when turning the steering wheel, in this case the owners have to change the block of submissive switches.
On the second-hand Renault Megane II may unexpectedly refuse the rear janitor, the driver has to turn off the ignition and wait for a while to turn it on again.
Cars released until 2007, often had to change the head of a regular audio system for warranty due to the display of the display.
Motor. On the domestic car markets, only gasoline modifications of the megan of the second generation were officially realized, the most common versions of 2.0, 1.6, 1.4 liters were most common. The most characteristic problem of 1,6-liter and two-liter aggregates was the short-lived mechanism for changing the phases of gas distribution. At best, it is capable of listening to 80-100 thousand km, but sometimes his refuses fixed even 30 thousand km. This malfunction in a 1.6-liter engine manifests itself first with a knock at start-up, and in a two-liter engine an unpleasant sound, resembling a diesel engine, is heard constantly at idle. If you regularly process individual coils in contact places with a candle with a special lubricant, then this should extend their life a little. On all gasoline cars, Renault Megan second generation, released until 2006, the creators were installed only the coils called Sagem, which could not even take care of even 30-40 thousand km.
In the 1,6-liter unit, the sensor responsible for the position of the camshaft often occurs. He suffers to problems that are inherent in all aggregates. If the engine refuses to start, the reason may wage in the blocking of the ECU start button or in a slightly filtered battery or in the oxidation of the crankshaft sensor. Active drivers often rear engine support withstands only 30-40 thousand km, practice shows that it serves as a few times with a 1.6-liter engine.
Water pump for any of the proposed motors is desirable to change together with the timing belt, as well as rollers, and this should be done every 60 thousand km. By the way, experts do not advise you to change the belt in garage services, because the consequences of such a replacement can be deplorable (there you need to properly delay the fastening bolts and correctly set the phases).
One of the most expensive faults has a two-liter and 1.6-liter motors - this is a system of changing the phases of gas distribution. This mechanism on many cars Renault Megane of the second generation, released until 2006 was replaced by warranty, since the malfunction was manifested in small runs.
Transmission. Six-speed mechanical gearboxes were installed with more powerful power units, and with less powerful - five-speed "mechanics". They are considered a strong and reliable unit, therefore they themselves do not sum up their owners. A complaints can only cause leaks after a run of 100 thousand km and the vague course of the lever from birth. But on some copies after 10-15 thousand km at the time of closing the clutch discs, jerks appear, which is especially often manifested in the reasons and when the node is heated in hot weather. This problem cannot be cured even with radical ways - replacing the basket assembly.
Experts do not advise you to buy a second-generation Renault Machine with an adaptive automatic transmission. This node is sensitive to the level and quality of oil, and also does not like work in an immentable state. In the risk group, there is always a hydrotransformer and seals. And modulation valves or even the entire hydrablock owners of such versions are forced to change due to strong jokes during the switching speeds already on mileage of 60-80 thousand km.
Chassis. The serviceable chassis of the Renault Megane II machine is able to provide quite comfortable movement on our roads. Front manufacturers installed an independent suspension MacPherson, and a half-dependent suspension with twisting beam is installed behind. If the rear suspension has no complaints from the masters, it is enough for the front claims. On the versions released until 2007, the support bearings on the front racks had to be changed after 15-20 thousand km. The reason for such a limited resource was insufficient protection against dirt.
In the front suspension, Silent blocks could have a resource of 120-150 thousand km, but they go to consumption earlier half with non-removable worn ball supports. No one argues that non-original joints can be purchased separately, but in this case the strength of the lever with the ball fixed bolts will not be known to anyone.
Racks and sleeves of transverse stability stabilizers are 110-130 thousand km, a similar resource has shock absorbers. But rear shock absorbers are more complicated, so they can begin to knock to 100 thousand km. As for the rear silent blocks, if 100-120 thousand miles are started to creak, it means that they have already broken.
Rush steering was equipped with an electric powerful, it is able to change the amplification depending on the speed. The weak point of the steering was the rail sleeve, which is broken very quickly, as a result of which it begins to knock unpleasantly when driving irregularities. It pleases at least that the steering rail has good maintainability. Branded steering traction can also be called durable, the masters advise to establish non-original spare parts that serve much longer. But the steering tips go about two or three times longer compared to the steering traction.
On the old car, the electric drive sensor of the anti-lock brake system can be broken, it leads to the failure of the system. On the second-generation Renault Megan, created until 2006 the rear brakes do not have special dirt shields, and this significantly accelerates the wear of the inner pads.
Service and prices for spare parts. The indisputable advantage of the RENAULT MEGANE II machine has become its maintainable design. The mechanic is easily able to repair its mechanical part. If we talk about the cost of new original spare parts, most of the motorists their prices will seem unreasonably high, especially if these are specific details. But the owners of this model can always turn to the disassembly, the benefit of them there are no problems, there are average prices there, the same as on many classmates.
Output. French cars can not be taken out of their exquisite style. Pragmatic people buy used Renault Megan's second generation contraindicated, they will probably do not like frequent breakdowns and problems with different nodes. But if you think that you can independently cope with most of the problems of this French model, then the Renault Megane car besides an unusual design will be able to offer you a decent level of comfort, a high level of security, a fairly rich equipment for a low price.
Today, in the secondary market, you can buy a used Renault Megane II at a price of 8 to 14 thousand dollars.
