20 Most Recent 2005 Renault Laguna 1.8 Questions & Answers

it sounds like th battery has give up the clicking is the starter solenoid going in/out cos when it engages the motor the load on the battery is too high it cant cope. the voltage drops low and it disegages then the voltage goes back up so it tries to restart. the battery is flat or scrap check the charging system also

Faults like this can rarely be solved in this manner as there are many things it could be, plus you need specialised diagnostic equipment. Take it to a renault repairer and get them to look at it.

your local renault dealer should be able to get you the factory code from your registration number, they do sometimes charge however

sounds like the cable has snapped which pulls the window up and down the runners. you can get the kit from ebay look for RENAULT LAGUNA 2 ELECTRIC WINDOW REGULATOR REPAIR KIT there is one company that even give you an instructional video to follow, really not that hard to do, have done several now for myself and friends

had similar issue but with laguna 2.0 IDE where there are 2 sensors at the end of the fuel rail left hand side of engine looking into engine bay from front of car, they both look like cylinders about 2 inches high with terminal points for wires on top, replacing the sensors resolved the issue but they were really expensive and only available from renault, i was able to run the car as long as i stayed below 4000 revs if i removed the lead from the top of one of the sensors. be aware if you do change the sensors yourself, do it a while after you have last used the car and engine is cool, as removal of sensor causes the pressurized fuel to come out at speed all over you. hope it helps

i had this with my 2.0 IDE laguna. it was due to a low voltage level on battery enough power to fire the relays, but not enough to turn the starter. check that your battery voltage is high . i ended up getting anew battery and a battery conditioner from ebay to just keep the voltage topped up when not using the car, i never found what was causing the drain on battery though

not sure on 05 model but it used to be under the rubber matting between the seats behind the gearknob and in front of handbrake anchor

Sounds like you have bad brake shoes, and either the wear sensor is dragging or the shoe rivets are cutting in to the drum. I would pull down and inspect. Also check your axle bearing while there. Remember if this side is worn so is the other side

is it the K4M engine if so check that thermostat housing is not leaking

Most codes can be triggered by multiple causes. For example, if a wire shorted or broke the computer will say I can't read that sensor. So either the sensor is bad or the wire but the computer cannot know that actual cause.

what makes you think there is one.the FSM (factory service manual) covers this , 100%buy one new or used.check fuses first.why does wiki say there is no Generation II Laguna with 1.8L diesel.but shows, x6 , 1.9Lall are F9Q-xxx engines. 1,870 ccso what matters is exactly which of the 6 F9s you have.all have Direct injection, and works more like gas car than diesel.but says>The diesel-fuel is delivered either by a mechanical injection pump or a common rail fuel injection installation.my guess is common rail.is it>?the first job is to check all fuses.the make sure filters are clean (done)then make sure the glow plugs all work.if all that works, then using the proper scan tool see if the PCMis throwing DTC codes (say for crank or cam sensors)crank for 5 second scanning. got DTC errors?if that is ok, fuel pump pressure is key next step.the next step are the injectors actually firing electrically.how is that.?

Sounds like you might have a bad bearing or possibly a synchroniser. Fifth and Sixth gear wound more than likely share both especially a bearing. The engine noise could changed if it is a bearing and is loading the engine because a faulty bearing is making it work harder to pull it. One other thing that is possible is the engine is giving problems at that particular RPM but if it reaches the same RPM in other gears and doesn't make any noise then that has to be in the transmission..

it is more than likely the switch. On the 5 speed models it is screwed into the left side of the gearbox casing next to the driveshaft inner joint and on 6 speed models it is on top of the casing. To test the switch, disconnect the wiring connector and use a multi-meter set to resistance function, select reverse gear and test for continuity across the switch terminals. If you dont have & meter you can make up a battery bell or light set. If your test doesnt get a response from your chosen tester then the switch is faulty, sometimes it is just stuck and a tap on the switch will clear it, however if not sorry, new switch. I hope this helps.
