Water pump not pumping water through engine

Hiya, its a renault megane scenic 1.6e rt 8v Sreg. we have just had a blown head gasket, that has been replaced also has the oil and oil filter and timing belt, the problem started before the gasket went, the heater wasnt getting hot so we got a new thermostat and fitted it, that didnt work as it still wouldt get hot. anyhow we have also changed the water pump but now it is not circulating the water, any ideas?

What is the brown sludge in my water coolant and why has my engine lost power on my 05 Renault megane coupe cabriolet

Sludge is engine oil. Add lost power and = you have blown head gasket or cracked head. Sorry to convey such bad news.

Zigzag light on megane scenic dashboard comes on car revs high then low usually stalls then coming to a stop. 1998 renault megane scenic rt manual. thanks

this exact problem on a megane coupe is caused by a small air pipe that connects to a 2 inch wide black box that is located under the bonnet near the windscreen on the passangers side. the zigzag light indicates an electrical fault (in this case lack of compression and will affect your revs) if you find this pipe and it has snapped off. the reason for this may be that your engien is lose and moves. grab the engien with 2 hands and see if you can wobble it with allot of play. if so your engien mountings need replaceing. you may also experiance juddering in low gears

Renault megane scenic 1.9 dt r reg 1997 cold start problems

This being a diesel, lack of compression is your worst enemy. These symptoms sound like a blown head gasket. Check your coolant for signs of oil, and check your oil for signs of coolant. (oil will be milky looking) Also indicative of a head gasket problem is an oil or coolant leak from the engine as well. If you see no evidence of the above, have a compression test done, and it should show up.
