Hi. Sorry but you have been misinformed. The "Service Due" message and the "Spanner Light". Are two related warnings that service is due. They will not go away until the needed service is performed. Upon completion, the dealership or repair facility will reset the warning system until the next service is due. The Spanner light is a reminder that service is needed now. If you ignore the warning service goes more over due, resulting in engine damage. There is another light called an Engine Warning Light. This lamp is an amber symbol of an engine. It is this light that may go out on its own if the ECU detects no failure.

SOURCE: renault trafic 1.9 dci new turbo but lights on dash still on stop

This is a problem with the onboard management computer. It probably wasn't reset by the mechanic when the new turbo was fitted. You'll need to take it to someone with the correct diagnostic equipment to get this fault erased. Avoid Renault dealerships. They'll charge anything from £80 to £400 to clear an error. Best find someone independent.

SOURCE: Hi i have just had my car Renault Clio on a 06

- By dancer23 on Feb 18, 2010 -

Earlier i posted a question requesting how to switch off the service light on my Renault Clio, i have found an answer to thios, as follows.
How do you reset the service indicator light 2007 renault clio?

Turn on the ignition, but don't start the car. On the right stalk there is a toggle switch that hinges up and down, and is used for going through the different features of the display. When the display shows 'Service Due' press and hold the top part of this switch for 10 seconds until the dispaly resets and it shows 30,000km or whatever until next service.

all of the above is correct apart from pressing the toggle button. if you instead press the bottom toggle button for 10 seconds the display will start to flash. Keep button depressed and 5 seconds later the service counter will reset.
I know this works as i have just done it myself,
I hope this will help many others .

Probably dirty fuel. If you use supermarket fuel try using Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate for a couple of tankfuls. You may find that it's actually cheaper in terms of pence per mile as well!

The spanner sign has lit up on my renault clio what does it mean?

The car is due for a Service. Contact a Renault Dealer or other garage.

If you book a service using another garage, remember to ask if they are able to switch off the service light, otherwise you will have to pay Renault a charge just to switch it off as well as service costs.
