Engine Removal Megane 225 F1

Flywheels in 225 are dual-mass. Can be in the Renault paper simple-mass? Maybe for that reason needs a spacer...
Not idea about the plastic piece.

No spacer required, that picture is wrong.

I have come across this before with the Renault manuals, they use the same pic but for different setups.

The plastic part is an addition, is it an aftermarket clutch plate ????
If so then they have probably done it as an upgrade

 

sorry i thought the one in the pic was the new one

When you tighten the cover bolts, do 1/2 a turn each bolt until there all tightened down, so it pulls down square

 

Oh yes very much so otherwise its going to be a pig to fill, good luck, make sure 2 people are involved, one in the car pumping and on underneath the car opening and closing the purge nipple to let air out

 

Try and fill it as much as you can before fitting.
Before you fit the clutch pipe, attach a length of clear pipe to the bleed stub, make sure it's long enough to be secured above the fluid reservoir, open the bleed screw and fit the clutch pipe.
Once you have fitted the clutch pipe leave it as long as you can to let the air out.

Then if the clutch feels good job done, if it feels a bit spongy, press the peddle all the way down and wedge it there for at least a couple of hours (or over night) then slowly release the peddle.

 

Jukidam, I´m 41 years old, and ALWAYS fit the clutch with eye measurement and never had problems when join gear box and engine.
Another system is to put some tape around the centering pin untill it fix the bearing or clutch hole.
Just try!

 

Its a separate system, but uses the same reservoir for fluid.

Its always worth checking for air in the calipers, just crack the nipples off to see if any bubbles come out, especially if you have let the fluid level go low.

I have changed both front and rear brake hoses on mine, did them and didn't even pressure or manually bleed the brakes

 

Ohhh yes, mine is a track day car and not my daily driver.

I always gravity bleed the brakes when ever possible, its just if you get air in the ABS module, then it needs to go onto Clip or such like.

 

If it works and your happy with the way it works then keep doing it that way.

 

At least you found it now rather then when you fitted the engine back in the car.

I think there have been quite a few LUK ones that have failed in the past, i fitted a genuine one just to be sure it'll work and last.

 

Looks good, as long as its higher than the fluid level it will work.
leave it for an hour, or if your impatient blow gently down the pipe but stop blowing before the fluid disappears out of the clear pipe, then wait to see if air bubbles comes up the tube, repeat till no air bubbles show.

Once you are happy there's no air showing, close the valve and try the peddle.
If it feels a little lacking at the top, wedge the peddle down for a good few minutes.

 

The peddle needs to be in the up position all the time, unless it feels vague after you have closed the bleed valve, then hold it down for a while

 

no problem

 

Not quite sure what's going on here?

I just connected my brake bleed kit to the nipple, pumped the pedal to get all the old fluid out and closed it up?

It's been absolutely fine up until now lol.

 

suck on the end of the pipe, gently , is it a new slave ???

 

probably still has some air in it, suck on the end of the pipe ( or use a syringe ) and try and draw fluid up the tube

 

that's why i said to use a clear tube, so you can see when it gets close to the top

I don't know, was it lost in translation

 

is it all fluid and no air ????

 

I use "Ian system" normally and works perfect, but a few times, if the taste don´t feel right, I ask help and a partner pump the pedal a few times and keep it down. Now, open the bleed nipple and for sure go out some air. Repeat the cicle till pedal feel good. If this doesn´t work...maybe is something wrong fit.

 

put a jack under the arm, take the weight plus a bit more, then tighten, if need be jack up a bit more till it grips
