@@LennoxandCompany I’m sorry I don’t know. Not sure why you ask, but if I was to guess I would say around 10kg. I don’t recall it being that heavy

@@kisspeteristvan no computer or diagnostics required. Just swap the parts over

@@elderoo8483 thank you for the info

​@@elderoo8483man, i did the repair , but could not unbolt the handbrake bracket , so i had to do the repair trough a very very small opening . It was the job from hell . No access , i had to do it by checking and then go with feeling , and check again and go blind again . I had to damage the power connector , but even that was very very hard to do . And then you say there is nothing holding . Well , i had a white plastic clip with reverse prongs ??? . A type of platic clip where it's very easy to mount a cable , but very hard to dismount it WITHOUT clearance . That little clip wasted me 1.5 hours . This actuator swap took me 5 hours . Installing the new one was much faster than taking out the ild one . I fiddled with that cable for 2.5 hours solid . When i put the new one in it was only 1 hour of fiddling . I had no idea how to disconnect that rubber support thing , so i unscrewed the mount . This is a repair that i would probably never do again . Without proper lifting equipment and a backup car this is a nightmare job . At a point i started thinking about car-rescue companies . The actuator screw came out without much hassle , but the cable .... I would like to order a hit on that renault engineer who put that box there ! Still , without this guide i would not have attempted this job. So the new one works , but the steering wheel is a bit cocked . I have to take it to realingment . So thank you , but this picture really does not show how difficult it is to do this job . ps: I had no prossibility to remove the right rear wheel . (the car was resting on the wheel)

@@rodialan7334 I have no idea I’m afraid. Put your reg into euro car parts and see what engine mounts they do. EBay is also a good place to look.

Yes

You will struggle, I got really lucky. The part is only on the GT models. A genuine new one from Renault is an astonishing £2000+ (plus VAT). My only advice is keep searching for people breaking one of the GT models, and keep ringing around breakers and searching eBay periodically with the part number. I bought mine as a refurbished unit from autoflesh in the Ukraine (autoflesh.com.ua/). I guess you could message them and see if they’re likely to get any more

Push the spindle from the other side. I pressed it down on a hard surface to pop it out

@@elderoo8483 thanks for the response. I've got the spindle out and put it in vinegar as you suggested. It's the white round plastic bit that has the contacts on I can't get out. It won't budge and I don't want to damage it. On your video it came straight out attached to the spindle when you pushed it through by tapping it on the hard surface. Any thoughts please?

It could be anything. Could have simply dislodged the abs sensor, or anything suspension related. Get it up in the air or to a garage to have a look. Unlikely to be this power steering actuator based on what you’ve described

@@elderoo8483 Thanks for quick reply on a 2 year old video. I dont have necessary equpment or knowledge for check up. Will have to wait until monday for my service guy. My guess is always the worst and "its gonna be expensive"

@@Clint_Beastwood87 did you find out what it was?

@@elderoo8483 Yes, because it was weekend i had to wait until monday. It turns out that rock or something else struck PK belt, ripped off 1 segment (channel) and because of that it completely grinded roller that drives rest of the servo pump, AC compressor, water pump and so on. If it werent for the noise the very first morning i would be in a big problem. So basically whoever read this, do not ignore clicking noise and think that its alright when it stops by itself after few kilometers. It means your roller is slowly being grinded to bearings. Luckily because i went to service soon enough, only belt is replaced which is around 120e. Forgot to mention we have the same car, mine is just black

If you find the part I can do the job for you

@@elderoo8483 do you no what part I need plz

Thank you. Glad it worked for you

It’s a £2000+ part brand new for the Laguna! Try get a second hand one from eBay or a breakers yard, it’s not a difficult job

I fell lucky and found it for sale by a company based in the Ukraine. Autoflesh.com.ua They have a page on Instagram instagram.com/autoflesh.com.ua?

Is there just one actuator on the rear axle or is there one for each side? I think mine has gone!! Car is trying to kill me and I have these exact warning on the dash.Thx.Alan.

@@discoduckification sorry just seen this message. There’s only one actuator that controls both rear wheels

Thank you so much for doing this video , thinking of buying this Laguna , just wandered if this is the most expensive ancillary of the car . You made it looked easy but undoing those nuts and accessing not easy .

Hi Vincenzo. I have no idea on the part number I’m afraid and I don’t have the car anymore. I think from memory bank 1 is the near side of the vehicle, so as you’re in the engine bay it will be on your right before the cat. Give us a shout if you need anymore help

Sorry I don’t understand

Yes you do. Think it’s a 13mm bolt if I remember correctly. Get some WD40 on it and give it a wiggle. Don’t be too rough as you might crack the window. If it’s not coming off you’ll need a special puller tool

Riddler no, not at all. You can access it just fine without removing the strut brace

It’s just a clip. Lift the plastic part up in the middle as you push the connector down, then pull the connector off

DEXTER P1AYS RO8LOX you’re funny 😂

No not for me, it was more of a knocking sound pulling off, slowing down and going over bumps. It could cause slight vibration but it could also be one of the other engine mounts I suppose

Do you hear the knocking noise under the engine that causes also the vibration maybe ?

Gabriel Skl yes. I never had it on a dyno but definitely more responsive and quicker through the revs

Hi this is full system with high flow sports cats fitted by Tony Banks in Leeds. They fitted 90 degree spacers for the rear o2 sensors and the car didn’t like it. It wasn’t getting any reading from the sensors and the car thought it wasn’t getting enough fuel. It started running rich as it was over fuelling to try and compensate. I went back and had the spacers removed and it was all fine. It did however through a code for post cat efficiency as the sensors were now getting a high reading. I had these mapped out when I had the car remapped and it was spot on after that. Personally if I was to do it all again I wouldn’t bother with the sports cats. They didn’t really improve performance and all they did was mess up the fuelling and throw an engine management light. Just go for a cat back and leave the cats alone I reckon

I put usp high flow cats and a full cat back exhaust. It didn't like it either because it just ran rich and killed my power, but a tune it gained a good 22 whp over stock with the much better free breathing exhaust. Lesson learned just get a good tune and you are set.

best bet is to put just the white wheel in, connect the wiper and let it cycle once so the contacts can reset themselves. or you can allign the section of the wheel with no metal on it, with the contacts on the housing. dont assemble it without zeroing the white wheel, as you could then shred your gears, and basically fuck up your rear wiper
