When i brake to a complete stop i get a
Loose Brake Caliper: The brake pads and calipers are designed to slow the vehicle when applied. The brake caliper holds these brake pads that are applied to the brake rotor . If the caliper is lose because the main caliper mounting bolt(s) are missing it will allow the caliper to ride against the inside of the rim producing a scraping noise. To check for this condition inspect the brake caliper mounting bolts to make sure they are tight and intact. If these mounting bolts are missing replace and tighten with new. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition, brake operation failure can occur.
Worn Out Brake Pads or Shoes: The brake pads on your car are designed to slow the vehicle when applied. If the brake pads are completely worn out they will can create a scraping noise when the brakes are applied. This scraping noise is created when the pad is forced against the brake rotor in normal braking operation. To check for this condition inspect the brake pads in question. The brake pads should have composite material between the pad backing plate and the brake rotor, or on the rear of the vehicle brake drum and shoes. If a brake grinding noise is allowed to continue, brake operation failure could occur. The rotor featured below is a perfect example of what can happen if a brake grinding noise is left unattended.
When a scraping brake rotor is neglected, it will cause the brake system to fail due to the separation of the rotor hat (center) from the outer web (braking surface). Additional problems can occur include the brake pad to fall out completely or the brake calipers to blow out a piston. Either condition will cause brake operation failure. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition, brake operation failure will occur.
Relocate Brake Rotor Heat/Dust Shield: When this brake rotor is in operation it produces heat and the rotor is subject the road side dust that can inhibit proper brake function. To help protect the brake rotor a shield is fastened to the spindle. If this shield becomes slightly out of alignment it can come in contact with the rotating brake rotor creating a scraping noise. To check for this condition support the car to remove the wheel in question. Next, rotate the brake rotor by hand to recreate the sound. Then inspect the air gap between the brake rotor and shield, reposition as needed and reassemble.
Checking Axle Bearing Failure: An axle bearing is designed to support the weight of the vehicle while allowing the wheels to rotate. These bearings are manufactured with high grade steel that resists wear under extreme conditions. When an axle bearing fails it allows metal to contact metal under pressure with a linear motion creating a scraping noise. Once an axle bearing fails it cannot be repair, replacement is required. Remove axle bearing and replace with new and recheck. Some vehicles are equipped with a bearing hub assembly. The bearing below is the style of bearing is replaced by un-bolting the bearing hub assembly and replacing it with new.
Other bearing designs include separated bearings that include inner and outer bearings with bearing races, a four piece set. Separated bearings require an inboard seal attached to the bearing hub. This seal rides on the spindle to hold grease inside of the bearing hub, keeping lubrication inside of the bearings.
Check for Tire to Body Contact: The tires on your car are designed to rotate with a minimum clearance between the body and the wheel. If this clearance is minimized by the wrong tire size or suspension modification or failure it can allow the tire to rub against the inner fender wheel which will create a scarping noise. To check for this condition inspect the cleaner between the tire and inner fender well. Check the suspension for spring failure or tire size to make sure the proper tires have been installed.
This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please
do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya
I want to change front brake pads on a vauxhall
If you are not mechanically minded you should not be attempting to change brake parts. If you really want to do the job yourself then get a workshop manual and study it before doing anything. Best of luck!
Windscreen washer does not work
i Just fixed a problem with a renault megan washer motor. If the motor makes a noise but is not pumping any water & the jets@ the windscreen are clear, then pull the suqirter motor out off the washer bottle( the bottle stays in place ) it just pulls out from underneith the bottom stone tray& may need to remove bottom bolt, inner lower wheeel arch. Right Now where the black & white squirter come out of the motor gentlywith a screw driver pop these off together. ( test motor again) ( put in water ) Then with Snap ring plires & part the white & black outlets apart & you will find a rubber seal that looks like it must of grown. When it grows it blocks both ports off. you need to shorten the rubber & keep it flat as remember its job seems to block off either the front or rear port. if it not a good finish you may get water coming out of the front & the rear ifeg your working the front squirters

Hi ,i have a renault scenic 99 model and my heater
I had the same issue and it turned out to be the pollen filter. It was located in the passenger side footwell secured by a single 6mm bolt. Unscrew the bolt, slide the cover off and pull the filter out. I was feeling cheap so I only cleaned out the filter rather than replace it but after doing this I once again could feel some air coming through all the heather vents.
Key will not work the central locking system or
the lazer bulb in your key fob has snapped off you will need to solder it back on or get a replacement
to solder it back on move the bulbs pins to the other side of the chip board (dont worries there still in the right place) and solder it to the wrong side
shove a bit of bog roll in there to stop the chip board moveing when you press the button to prevent it snaping again
the ignition dosnt work coz coz you car has an imobaliser
the red light on the fob stil works when the bulb has snapped
hope this helps
Engine cooling fan wont work
check the temp sensor on the engine for the cooling fan.It should be around the thermostat housing or on the side of the head.
Car is stuck in gear
automatic or stick
sounds like a stick change the clutch or if it has a master cylinder for your clutch replace that or the slave cylinder
Speedometer
if the fuses are all alright, try to replace the wire that transmits the rotation to the speedometer. It should be in the back of the gauge, and then, the other end of it connected on the gearbox. replacing it it's simple, just unscrew it out and fit a new one in
Central locking has stopped working the lights
renaults have notoriously bad switches if nall locks disfunctional maby you master switch i hope you have electical experiance cause if its not a switch then you should check you door **** wiring harnes needs to be examined
