Renault Megane Dynamique 1.6 2004 - Fan heater stopped working and wet footwells

A week or two ago i noticed a running water sound when i first started the car,this stopped when i turned the fan off although could not see or hear anything when i looked under the bonnet.The last couple of days i have noticed the windows are steaming up when the car is parked up and this morning the fan heater stopped working altogether. I have just been and checked and although the fan is now working again i have now noticed that the front footwells are wet,so am thinking leak.Any help would be appreciated.

You have a leak in you heater core you have to take it out to check it or replace it the steam is from your heater and your heater resistor is in the same place so it may of got wet and shorted out.

Check your plugs again, make sure they aren't gunked up already or covered in oil or anything. Double check the spark gaps on them as well.

The sunroof drainage gets blocked.

your footwells will fill with water - even under your seats right to the back seats footwells

See two 10mm holes in front sides when sunroof is open.
a) push a flexible cable down from the top - it comes out just behind the front wheels. (use electric three core cable - or TV aerial cable - a hanger is too short) - you need about a metre and a half)
b) remove the inner mudgaurd behind the front wheels (2 screws) you will see the end of the plastic drainage pipes - remove the blocked black rubber cup at the end of these - why they are there is anybody's guess)

SOURCE: renault megane scenic RX4 climate control fan has failed

the vehicle is old enough that the fan blower motor sounds like it is in need of replacing. when you hit the dash it causes the brushes in the motor to contact enough to start the electrical connection, it may stop when it gets hot, or is turned off. the ticking sound is more than likely the bearings wore in the motor enough to cause the cage fan to touch the housing enough to cause the sound.

Renault Megane Dynamique 1.6 2004 - Heater fan stopped working - wet front footwells

Im almost sure that your problem is a broken or leaking heater core and needs to be replaced cose 1 your coolant level allways will be low due to the leak and 2 it could damage your blower fan motor. if in winter time you need the heat fixit... If not you could cancel the 2 waters hoses going to the heater core. hope this helps.

Renault Megane Dynamique - 1600 - 2005 - car wouldnt start this morning - called breakdown who said flat battery - jumped started it. Radio now not working - asking for code???? any ideas. Diane

To obtain your code the radio has to be removed from the dashboard in order to find the following information

Then post the radio MAKE+MODEL plus ALL the LETTERS+NUMBERS on ANY LABELS ,BARCODES or STAMPED IN THE METAL CASING

Most RENAULT codes can be calculated on this forum
