if your timing belt has sliped,your pistons would be touching your valves,which means cylinder head removal,.removal off spark plugs use a pressure check gauge to check each cylinder for a weak compressure by starting the engine untill the gauge stops moving ,,normal cylinder pressure should read above 175lb per pressure or more.

my blowers on a renault senic is not working i have took the motor off and tested it and it works fine.
ive reconected it but still nothing can any body help...

Your clutch is either wet with oil , or you are riding it oo much and making it hot. Push it all the way in when you are stopped. Don't hold it part way, or you will burn it out.

Its located behind the passenger side front bumper (Right -hand drives). Front of the tyre.

It seems that carburetor, air filter and the spark plugs need an overhauling/service and wile at it clean the jets too......sodeep

As regards the auto lights. Just flick the sidelights on twice in quick succession and they should work. The reverse to cancel them. Can't say about the reversing sensors......best o luck. DK.

Hi Steve
I'm Dave
First lets start with the missing coolant.
Check your oil dipstick, both cold and hot. If the oil shows any signs of a milkshaky consistency your head gasket is blown. If it is only a slight leak that started recently it may not have reached the milkshake stage yet so look carefully for any signs of foreign substance in the crankcase(oil resorvoir). If all is good there then look for signs of a leak on the lower weep hole of the water pump. You may need a telescopic mirror or to get under the car with a flashlight to see the small hole in between the two lower splines. Next check for leakage out of the coolant resorvoir jug. They sometimes crack or develop a slight leak that is hard to notice because it will accumulate in a spot not neccesarily inspected for coolant leaks. This all assumes that you've checked the length of your upper and lower rad hoses, the bypass hose and the two smaller heater hoses that go to the heater matrix(core) in the dash or firewall. Check for a leak anywhere along the radiator both front and back, near the draincock or along the walls separarting the tranny fluid cooling area from the coolant cooling area. Next you can check for a leak around the thermostat and the rad cap. All of these checks should be done with the engine at operating temperature except initial hose inspection which should be done twice once when hot. If these all prove dead ends you should suspect a heater core problem. Is the area on the floor mats under about where the two heater hoses enter the passenger compartment wet or do the windows fog up needing a/c to defog? If so your heater core is leaking. And finally if none of this helps you can check the frost plugs for leaks. They are hard to find. They are circular cutouts found on the engine case. There may be quite a few.
Post me with your results and we'll move on to your secondary problem. Oh yeah also check for a leak where your coolant temperature sensor enters the engine usually somewhere near the thermostat. Looks like a large screw with wires coming from it.

Hi, the tire pressure monitor detects any changes in the tire inflation pressure. Therefore, it must initialize and store it in its memory if the tires or wheels have been replaced, re-inflated or the tires have been rotated. You can re-initialize the system by following these steps:

1. Check and make sure that your tires are inflated to the correct pressure

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. If the low tire pressure warning light comes on, push and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch (in the glove box) until the warning light turns off and then release the switch.

3. Now press and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the low tire pressure warning light blinks three times.

4. Initialization is *not* completed until driving at the vehicle speed of 19 mph or over for more than one hour. the tire pressure monitoring starts when initialization is completed.

make sure your linkage is connected...if not it wont go anywhere...also make sure your drive shaft is connected
