Absolute headache here, came to start the car after 2 weeks of it standing and was met with the following: No crank, just a click, dash lights flash on and off, message 'braking system fault' followed by 'steering wheel not locked' as well as a host of beeping and lights. I'm absolutely gutted and at a loss as the door won't even lock and it's parked on the street I tried jumping it but nothing Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Tried that, worked for the passenger door but won't lock the drivers side and there's only a cylinder on that side Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I hope that's the case. Just realised it's all under warranty so have Renault picking it up in an hour so at least it'll be secure Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Mines not hit 50 yet, though I suppose conditions can vary battery life alot. Guess yours is stop/start too?
I've done 110k and 7 years on the original battery lol, soon to be binned for a lightweight one mind you
Yeah stop start but never have it engaged. Called the rac out as it was still under warranty, they managed to jump it fine which is odd Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Once it's started and on the alternator a weak battery is enough, it's the big current dump a start needs they give up on first. Sounds like you're just looking at a new battery, make sure they fit a decent or oem one
Do they have a battery monitor thay would need re coding/setting or can I just get a swap out Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
The car does monitor the battery in some way as I recall getting a low battery warning a while back (though not when it failed funnily) but nothing needs recoding as I did mine on the drive. Twice in fact as the car parts shop sold me the wrong battery first time round -_-
Halfords sell the correct battery for the megane, well for my 250 anyway, its not on there website thou. Mine didnt warn me either, it worked and then after sitting in it for half hour outside maccys wouldnt start. And the little window on the battery had been black for ages before that. Mine had done around 45k miles aswel.
Yes mate, just a new battery. Car was still under renault care so RAC replaced it and put the account on renaults bill so happy days Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
