Great explanation and thanks for showing the detail on how the multimeter was connected at both ends.
Great video, I had glow plug issue re bad starting, watched your video and I changed plugs and now works perfect, thank you.
Chris Burns nice 👍 great work Chris !!!
Definately 'B' is the right answer. If anyone else owns a Renault Megane diesel and you get the Engine Management Light / Check Injection System could need a regeneration.
It's not even hard - you just need to drive on the motorway, let the engine get hot then change speed to 50mph and put the car in 5th gear and drive for 14 miles.
At some point 7-12 miles in, you'll feel the engine chug a little - that's okay as it's doing a DPF regeneration (burning up fuel deposits in the exhaust).
I found this technique out by nicely asking my local Renault Dealer.
One problem down and one to go. Nice work mate
Thx mate, i appreciate you popping by and supporting me in this first premiere .... cheers 👍
Thanks for this video... very clear and informative... keep up the great videos.
New subscriber here👍👍👍
Keep the good work mate.
You're a life saver 🙏
Hi
Well done here!
The measure of the sensor is difficult to do or judge just based on the multimeter reading... as is not quick enough to show breaks on the signal for example...
But is indeed enough to see if is responding...
Curious too see what's next...
👍👍👍
Thanks mate, That’s right unless it fails completely will be difficult to condemn the sensor without scoping it... 2 things that’s making this job difficult for me are not being able to check live data and scope the sensor... but you know Xmas is coming, I know you have a good heart 😁...
I know the problem now and I’m still waiting for parts, just a little teaser, £300 worth of parts 🙁👍
@@CarsExposed hey great video 😁😁😁. Did you ever do a video explaining what the bigger issue was?
I love your renault videos. Keep it up :)
Gintaras Samoška thanks man I’ll do cheers 👍👍👍👍
Nice work mate....I've been binge watching your channel all week while traveling....😁😁😁
Johnny's Speed Shop oh cool 🤣🤣🤣 thanks mate I appreciate it, don’t go too far back the vids are 💩 😁👍👍👍
@@CarsExposedlol...you want to see 💩💩💩💩 my early videos were shot with a gopro and no viewfinder...those were tough...lol.
Johnny's Speed Shop 🤣🤣🤣 I actually watched some of them I just love your personality mate, you say things as it is no bullshit I like that ... I was looking for a DeWalt 899 review your video popped up 👍
with delphi try choose a different renault model with same engine , even mark II will work sometimes. the older versions of the delphi read that car with no problems. the "newer" ones are just full of issue and bugs ...
TTRVision Thanks bud Good to know. , I’ll try this week sometimes I’ll let you know how it goes cheers 👍👍👍
I think I have the same MaxiScan scanner. Looking forward to what you find next!
Nice1, the MaxiScan saved me so many times ... thx mate new video soon 👍
Engine can be destroyed
Injection valve control circuit cyl. 1 DTC020125
Connection diagnosis glow control unit DRC038096
What does this mean, do I only have to replace the glow plugs or the control unit?
Hello ! very useful and well made video. can you help me please: what type of key should be used for disassembly glow plugs (size and type) after your videos I changed the brake discs, shock absorbers, shock absorber covers and anti-roll rods, Thank you very much!
I have a 2011 1.5 automatic diesel Fluence. It has a push button ignition. It's been sluggish in the morning starting and takes 2 or 3 goes and longer on frosty mornings. Once started it's fine for the day. I changed battery thinking it was that, definitely not alternator and I don't think start. I have a feeling it's the glow plugs. I bought some but am nervous putting them in incase I snap old ones or the new ones.
Very likely to be the glow plugs , to be honest it’s a hit or miss with glow plugs i am also very weary of them , why don’t you test them first very easy with a test light or multimeter 👍
Thanks for a great jobb!
What probe did you use?? And how did ypu wire it?? I was going to use light probe...
Would it be the exaust valve underneath the car. Ever hear that high pitch buzz after you switch car off? , that is the exhaust valve going through the motions of shutting down. Currently have the garage telling me those 2 codes are showing one for glow plug other for exhaust valve, but there are no problems showing on my dash? Bit slower to start on a cold morning but that's it nothing obvious on the dash warning lights?
How much will be cost if loss of with engine system failed sign on the dash board?
Nicely done and the safety pin back probe is awesome 👍
STEVE ROB REVIEWS 😉😁 it works great Steve, but I do need to get some proper back probing leads ... I had a bunch of tools taken mostly power tools when my shed was broken in to last November when I was visiting my parents in Brasil, I was so bitter refusing to spend any money on tools but I’m ok now and starting to look Into what to buy 👍 cheers
Hi mate great video, which anti seize did you use? Read some where that should not use cooper grease.
I’ve used a very small amount of copper grease , I don’t think is recommended tho …
Many thanks for instructive video. Paul, Johannesburg
paul whitehouse you are welcome Paul I’m glad the video helps 👍👍👍 Cheers
Do you ever do a video on what the problem really was?
Thanks for an informative video. I've got the Megane 3 hatcback, could you tell me the size of the socket that fits these plugs or could they be different to yours? I only want to work on my car, cheers
It should be the same , the socket you need is a deep 10mm socket 👍
@@CarsExposed I appreciate your quick response Igor, thank you. Love the vids.
Thanks mate 👍👍👍
hello congratulations for your maintenance, I wanted to ask you if you could put the link of the tool you use to remove the glow plugs
size and name please, thank you very much
Does the car run/start better after installing new glowplugs? I have the same fault code but it starts without problems..
WestSideConnection5 I didn’t have any noticeable issue either but it’s important to change them if they aren’t working... the most common issues are hard to start, excessive smoke, possible misfiring... 👍👍
I have all the same warning lights with my mk3 and today the heating system stopped working not good when it's December. I'm not buying another renault only had this one 7 months.
Nice job
Thanks mate 👍
Ohhh and I like the background music....I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do that....
Johnny's Speed Shop I always liked a bit of music rather than just me talking even if it’s really quite in the background ... your music is good 👍👍👍
What was the issue with the EML light in the end, DPF clogged up with soot??
Dpf was ok ... here is the fix video ruclips.net/video/PLfHjqGj9Oc/видео.html
Hello my friend I have a Renault Megane 3 2010 model, the Star Star works and most of the time it does not work. I mean here (the car is running) the mechanic said that the reason is the glow plug system. Another technician said no, could you help? thank you very much
محمد عطالله رافع would look into the live data in the scan tool and see if the clutch pedal switch is working first or anything that stand out 👍
hello let me ask u something... if only one glow plug damaged ... can cause alot of smoke from the start ?
Generally no …
@@CarsExposed my megane 3 2012 when i start the car at morning, he made alot of smoke, the rotattion point stay instable.. in 10 min then gone, i check the code fault i says code p0380 just like your car.. sorry for my english , im portuguese
@@Kryzanduh você pode trocar o glow plug pra ver se a fumaça melhora, sabendo que o glow plug está ruim não seria dinheiro jogado fora.
Mas geralmente fumaça seria alguma coisa com injetores , piston rings etc .
@@CarsExposed o que recomendas para tirar as glow plugs ? motor quente e deixar w-d40 de molho ou tem que ser motor a frio ?
Diesels dont have a throttle body thats an anti-shudder valve, helps the engine turn off and makes it smooth when turning off.
Only terminology … intake valve , shudder valve , throttle body, tomato and tomato.
@CarsExposed Yeah you're right, I have to do this job on a family members 1.5dci, did they come out easy? Also what's that tool you used to give power to the glow plugs?
did you have any further engine lights after running the car?? I purchased the same maxiscan and lead direct to glow plugs.
Thanks to your great videos i have saved myself at least £300 in garqge fees. keep on making them bud
Kerry Hosznyak thanks mate, I did have and ended up being the exhaust pressure sensor , sorry about the delay I believe you have watched the second video right? Otherwise it’s in my Renault playlist 👍
Hi buddy! Changed temp sensor!! Lost water but header tank still full seems no water in bottom off engine!! How to I get coolant past thermostat that’s cold
You have to bring the car up to temperature for the thermostat to open . Keep an eye on the coolant reservoir and top it up as required 👍
@@CarsExposed hi fella engine temp not moving!! That’s why I changed temp sensor!!! Fans on constantly!! Think it’s a faulty temp sensor! From euro car parts
Possibly Intercooler cooling pipe might have tiny crack and start loosing vacuum. That's why randomly fault on screen appears.
It was the exhaust pressure sensor, it did give up after 4 days of recording 👍. Video here ruclips.net/video/PLfHjqGj9Oc/видео.html
Top man you are 💯👌
The two clips on the turbo pipe....what are they called? They are essentially jubilee clips but have a different name...I can’t think what they’re called...I need some replacements but don’t know what to search for....I suppose I could just use regular jubilee clips.
Michael Barnes i replaced mine with some stainless steel clip commonly used for drive shafts here is the link mate rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F130890730278
Cars Exposed thank you...Gaitor clips was the name I couldn’t think of.
@@CarsExposed hi do you actually need to replace them? Can’t it be re-used? Thanks
Hi there, great video by the way! Super informative 🤙
I wonder if you could help me. I have a Renault Scenic 1.9dci, lately my glow plug light is intermittent and it feels like the car is running on 3 cylinders. It has moments where all 4 work and you car picks up speed and you can feel the difference in torque.
I'm still new to the whole diesel thing, any ideas on what it could be?
Hi mate did u manage to sort the issue out ?
@@infernoblades7224 hey man, I did indeed! Changed all glow plugs and well as wiring for my plugs.
The old ones were corroded and all! Must just be the age of my vehicle.
She runs like a beaut😎
I had same warning lights and messages as you (i have same Megane) purchased multimeter and checked pressure sensor, all was ok, purchased the scanner and came up with one fault which was the glow plugs. i had garage put it on their scanner at the cost of £50 and they couldn't find a definite fault.
Hi I have the same problem too with anti pollution and injection system I took it to the garage he says it might something to do with the turbo and gonna cost £1200 is this true. Mine is Megan year 2010 mark 3
bg joni Any our of the ordinary drivability issue ? My problem was actually a sensor check out this video ruclips.net/video/PLfHjqGj9Oc/видео.html
@@CarsExposed it starts n drive just normal
Even in high gears like 5th or 6th ?
I changed my glow plugs and everything seemed fine at first. Left the car for a week and now I've gone back it won't start and just cycles between the engine management light and the glow plug symbol. They flash alternatively. Plugged in reader and no codes. I'm totally stumped. Any ideas?
Have you got access to a pro scanner mate where you can have a comprehensive amount of live data? Probably the best thing to do at this point to get some direction 👍👍👍👍
@@CarsExposed The car was throwing up no error codes which made it a total guessing game for me. Put it into my local garage and be found the fault to be the multifunction control box in the engine bay. Turns out fancy fuse boxes cost a fortune (£234) from Renault. Cars all fixed now though! My glow plug change had nothing to do with it, there was some corrosion on the box and it wasn't giving out the correct voltage so the car was going tits.
She's now working great and the glow plug change (guided by your video) has made my life a lot easier this winter.
🙂🙂
Glow plug error showing on my megane 3 too , changed the glow plugs ( 3 of them were bad , changed the 4 of them ) ... but the error still appearing ... what could it be ? thanks
Have you tried clearing the code? Make sure the glow plug connector is pushed in properly .
@@CarsExposed yes , all the connectors made a click sound and everytime i clear the code it appears again when i do a new search =\
What code are you getting? I would check the resistance of the glow plugs just to make sure, it has to be close 0 as possible... then ignition on with the test light you can check for power 12v at the connector... I’ll check the wiring diagram in the morning when I finish work just in case 👍
@@CarsExposed P0380 - Glow Plug/ Heater Circuit "A" . they're brand new , that's why i find it odd ... I work away from home and my wife stays with the megane and i can only check it at the weekend . could it be a fuse ?
Pedro Pinto maybe I’ll check the wiring diagram, but I would check the glow plugs for resistance too, I know they are new but sometimes people from the shop dropped it or something like I always check before fitting them in ...
Sensor maybe
.more accurate. Electricity does not reach startup. And sometimes it arrives.

The problem is that this car is French! lol
gcmarcal 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I should’ve left an option E: French engineering 😁👍
I’ve had 3 Meganes and now got a Renault Kadjar, not a single problem!
