Renault Fluence is a car based on the now popular Renault Megane. Renault Fluence is made in the body, which has been most popular in Western Europe over the past few years. Therefore, you will not have another alternative option when buying Renault Fluence. The body design has been revised and the front of the car has undergone changes after the update in 2014.

After several thousand kilometers of use, every car needs a service and Renault Fluence is no exception. You can repair Renault Fluence with your own hands, but in this case, the warranty for your car will be canceled and you will have absolutely no guarantees for the repair. However, you can purchase a Renault Fluence repair manual and then do your own car repairs.

It will be unsafe, but with a certain amount of guarantee. Also you can download Renault Fluence repair manual from the official website of the company.

The compact Renault Fluence car is built on the basis of the Nissan C platform. The latest version has a redesigned design, an increased trunk volume, a new multimedia system, but there are still problems with the hardware.

After 80,000 km, Renault has a knock when turning the steering wheel. This is the first sign of a problem with the steering rack. If repairs are not started, the disease will progress. The defect can be eliminated by hand. Several instructional videos can be found on the internet.

The rack is a steel bar, on which teeth are applied on one side, which, using a worm gear, indicate the direction of the wheels from the movement of the steering wheel. In order for the rail to move without free play and not be clamped rigidly, it is pressed with a spring-loaded cracker.

Video (click to play).

Over time, the cracker, also called the piston, wears out, and the rack begins to play. You can tighten the piston for a while. After that, the steering wheel turns harder, but without knocking.

In some cases, the tightening will not help, because the spring has been eaten by rust, changing it is not a problem. But all the same, if the biscuit is eaten, it must be replaced. If the repair is not started on time, then the rail will have to be changed. After the clamping cracker is installed, it must be adjusted. If tightened all the way, the Fluence handlebars will turn hard. Do not hold out - the rail will dangle and knock. Take a close look at how this is done in the video tutorials that can be found on the Internet.

The knock of the steering rack in Renault also occurs due to the wear of the bushing. In parallel, you may find that the Fluence rudder does not clearly return to zero position.

The steering rack fails not only because of a cracker or bushing that has worked. Over time, usually after 80,000 km, her central tooth is eaten away. From this, there is a backlash of the steering wheel in the center position. Repairs are made by replacing the rail. Video explanations can be found on the Internet.

On frosty days, you can run into serious trouble when suddenly Renault's brakes fail. The pedal stakes, and it is impossible to squeeze it out.

The breakdown is unpleasant and difficult to eliminate, it is found not only in Renault, but it is restored with its own hands. It is caused by the fact that water freezes in the check valve tube in frost below 20 degrees. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs water constantly.In the end, so much of it collects that it is released into condensation and freezes in the area of the valve in frosty weather.

To quickly unlock the Fluence brake system, spray WD-40 or alcohol into the tube.

The ice plug will dissipate very quickly and the Fluence repair is temporarily completed. Temporarily, because the situation can repeat itself at any time. Change the brake fluid immediately upon arrival at the garage or parking lot. The tube together with the valve must be insulated in any way. For example, wrap with a piece of faux fur or blanket, cover with a cut rubber hose on top and fix. The video on the Internet clearly shows how to do this.

For the winter, it makes sense to insulate the Renault space under the hood. This can be done by inserting a piece of cardboard under the radiator grill. But if you take the problem seriously, then special kits for insulating the compartment are sold in car dealerships.

If Fluence's battery warning light comes on, it means that it has stopped charging. The reason may be both the generator and the operation of the shields. The repair is not difficult - you can do it yourself. There is a good selection of videos on this topic on the Internet.

To replace the brushes, remove the belt from the generator, disconnect the wires, unscrew the fasteners, and take it out. Next, unscrew the two screws of the voltage regulator and dismantle it. Brushes are installed on it.

Of course, it is more convenient to change the brushes assembled with a voltage regulator, but if you have time, you can suffer for the sake of economy and pleasure. We unscrew the old brushes, and in their place we install the usual ones from the VAZ. Before that, we grind them a little on emery to give the desired size. We drill holes in the contacts, stretch the tails from the brushes there and solder them on the back side. Dripping with tsaponlac on top of the soldering and installing in the reverse order.

The 2-liter engine and the 1.6-liter H4M have a reliable chain-type timing drive. K4M is equipped with a timing belt drive with a changeover interval of 60,000 km (5,000 rubles per set).

The 1.6-liter K4M is the most popular. Its weak point is the phase regulator, which wears out after 100-120 thousand km. First, there is a characteristic crackling, and then - dips in traction and interruptions in the operation of the engine. The cost of the new phase regulator is 5,000 rubles. It is recommended to update it with a second timing belt replacement - by 120,000 km.

One of the mysterious phenomena occurring with Renault Fluence is the difficulty in starting a cold engine after a long stay. When contacting the service, dealers reflashed the engine ECU, cleaned the throttle valve, changed injectors and spark plugs. But preventive procedures did not help everyone.

Problems with starting can also arise due to a blown starter fuse, a retractor relay, or even the starter itself (6,000 rubles).

After 50-80 thousand km, it is often necessary to change the thermostat. It gets stricken, or it starts to leak, which leads to mixing of oil with antifreeze. The cost of a new part is about 5,000 rubles.

Sometimes the fuel level sensor, which changes in assembly with a gasoline pump (from 16,000 rubles), starts to play a fool. In addition, the crankshaft oil seals may leak.

Over time, from sudden temperature changes (for example, after overcoming deep puddles), the muffler's heat shield deforms and begins to touch the elements of the exhaust system, emitting an unpleasant ringing. In this case, it is enough to bend the thermal protection to an acceptable position. In the morning, the muffler itself can accompany the warming up of the engine with a metallic ringing. And by 100-120 thousand km, the O-ring of the exhaust system (150 rubles) often burns out - a characteristic roar appears.

In pre-styling cars with manual transmission, after 50-100 thousand km, the bolt of the engine mount often broke off, which incidentally led to damage to the reverse sensor and the internal grenade. Later the problem was solved - a more powerful bolt was installed.

Transmission

Renault Fluence with a 1.6 liter engine was equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission (JH3) or a 4-speed "automatic" (AL4 / DP0). After restyling, it was replaced by a variator (JF015). The 2-liter engine was combined with a 6-speed manual or CVT.

The main complaint about the "mechanics" is jerking at the start after a long drive in a traffic jam. Dealers renewed the clutch kit under warranty if the mileage did not exceed the 30,000 km mark. According to them, the problem is in the clutch disc, which the manufacturer later upgraded. But after replacement, the problem often reappeared. However, the clutch master cylinder or release bearing may have required attention.

After 80-100 thousand km, some owners note the appearance of extraneous noise in the manual transmission. Mechanics assure that this is a feature of her work - the bearings howl.

In winter, after overnight parking, the gear lever often becomes tight or does not move. The reason is the freezing of moisture trapped under the cable jacket. Drying and lubricating the assembly eliminates the problem for a short time. It is better to replace the cable - 4,000 rubles.

Automatic transmission owners often complain of jolting when shifting. The problem appears after 20-30 thousand km. The culprit is the pressure modulation solenoid valve. Almost all machines pass through its replacement by 100-150 thousand km. The cost of the procedure is about 15,000 rubles. With regular renewal of oil, the automatic transmission will last up to overhaul of 300-350 thousand km.

The variator worried the owners no less. At times he began to creak, grunt and gnash. The manufacturer has known the problem. Everything happened due to the sagging of the variator belt at engine speeds of 900-1100 rpm or more. "Treatment" was carried out by updating the program for controlling the operation of the variator.

After 50-100 thousand km, jerks and tremors appear from time to time. It's all about the vulnerable CVT pump pressure relief valve. The sun gear and bearings can also be damaged. For repairs, you will need about 50-60 thousand rubles. With skillful handling and timely maintenance, the variator is capable of passing 200-250 thousand km without repair.

The suspension, like most modern cars, can creak in the cold. More often than not, the stabilizer bushings are to blame.

After 30 - 50 thousand km, the anthers of the front shock absorbers were often torn. Dealers made a replacement provided that the mileage at the time of contact did not exceed 30,000 km. The anthers of the struts from the VAZ 2110 are ideal as a substitute, and an analogue from the VAZ 2108 as a bump stop. The shock absorbers themselves serve more than 100-150 thousand km.

The front levers (from 3,000 rubles apiece) may require replacement after 60-100 thousand km. The silent blocks fail, and a little later - the ball joints.

Due to a defect in the area of the spline connection, some owners were faced with the appearance of knocks that give off to the steering wheel when driving irregularities. The steering rack sometimes starts knocking after 100-150 thousand km.

It is worth noting a few unpleasant incidents that occurred with 2 liter Fluences in winter. At the most inopportune moment, the brakes failed - the brake pedal "got stuck". The reason is the freezing of the brake valve of the vacuum hose. Dealers put an extra shroud on the hose as a countermeasure. The Fluence brake system with a 1.6 liter engine is slightly different - no such incidents have been recorded with it.

Body and interior

Over time, the boot lid begins to wipe down the paintwork on the rear bumper. Dealers recognize the case as a warranty and repaint problem areas. Also, many notice the appearance of scuffs from the rear door seals.

The chrome on the rear emblem can "swell" after the first winter. Similar problems are found on the front emblem, lower grille trim and PTF overlays.

Renault Fluence's interior soon begins to creak. A rattling noise occurs in the area of the seat belt and front head restraints. The steering wheel sometimes climbed already in the first year of operation.And in winter, leather inserts on the front seats often burst.

"Winter drops" from a ceiling lamp or front visors are not uncommon for a modern car. A similar phenomenon is observed here.

Other problems and malfunctions

During the winter operation, many complain about the "freezing" left leg. One of the possible reasons is the gap between the duct pipes, through which cold air enters.

The heater fan motor (from 3,500 rubles) may fail after 100-150 thousand km. Soon the button for opening the trunk is also rented.

The head unit is often "buggy": it turns off, resets the settings, spits out or does not read discs, or turns off the speakers. At the same time, many complain about poor reception of radio stations, and after 5-6 years they may begin to clamber over the buttons on the radio tape recorder.

In general, minor malfunctions in the work of an electrician are not alien to Fluence. More often than not, everything is cured by a banal turning off the ignition, or by tightening the battery terminals.

Many units, such as the engine and gearboxes, were used on the second generation Renault Megane, and after modernization they were installed on a new model. Apparently, the work on improving the units was done hastily and not deep enough, since some of the "sores" migrated from there.

On Renault Fluence, the timing belt is replaced according to the same principle as on most other foreign cars. As you know, the timing belt must be changed every 60 thousand kilometers or once every 4 years, even if during this time the car did not leave the prescribed mileage. The fact is that rubber has its own limited service life and if it is not replaced at a certain point, this can lead to serious consequences.

When it is time to replace your timing belt, it is important to know if the chain or belt is installed on your vehicle. Renault Fluence owners need to know that the type of drive - chain or belt - directly depends on the modification of the Frenchman. On older cars, a timing belt is installed, on a new engine there is a chain. It is also important to know how long it takes to replace the timing belt.

The frequency of belt replacement is every 60 thousand kilometers or every 4 years
The chain serves about 130 thousand km of run

The sequence of the process of replacing the timing belt with Renault Fluence depends on the type of engine - gasoline or diesel. But, in general, the stages of replacement on cars with different types of engines are similar and differ only in some details. Replacement can be done on your own or you can use the services of specialists.

Let's consider how to change the timing belt using the example of a car with a 1.6 liter K4M gasoline engine. Before starting work, you will need to purchase a Renault Fluence timing kit. The kit consists of a belt itself, bolts and a roller.

Lift the car
Remove the engine cover and remove the right wheel arch liner
Raise the engine with a jack, resting it on the pallet near the crankshaft pulley
Unscrew the upper mount at the engine mount, unscrew the support
Disconnect and move aside the gasoline pipe union
Remove the plug of the end of the camshaft at the intake valves (it is easy to find it - this plug is the largest in diameter)
Engage the fifth gear, then slowly rotate clockwise the wheel drive to the hub with a 30 key (viewed from the engine compartment)
Align the shafts along the intake camshaft (where the plug was removed) in one line with notches - in this case, the notches must be located below the camshaft axis
Unscrew two nuts and three bolts with a 13 wrench, after which it will be possible to remove the upper protective cover from the timing belt
Remove tension roller and alternator belt
Put it back in fifth gear, after which the partner must press the brake all the way
At the same time, unscrew the bolt securing the crankshaft damper pulley with a key 18 and remove the pulley
Remove 4 bolts from the lower plastic timing belt cover and dismantle it
Fix the toothed camshaft pulleys to prevent rotation - this can be done using two washers and an M10x50 bolt with a nut (it is also recommended to make additional marks on the cover body and on the pulleys with a marker)
Also, before removing the timing belt, it is necessary to set marks on the engine housing and on the crankshaft toothed pulley with a marker
Unscrew the timing roller nut with a 13 key and remove the belt
Unscrew the bolt with a T40 wrench
Remove timing pulley
Further, before removing the tension roller, it is necessary to mark its position in order to correctly set the belt tension in the future.

Fasten the bypass then tension rollers
It is necessary to fix the preload with a self-tapping screw, focusing on the position of the old tensioner
The timing belt itself only needs to be thrown onto the lower part of the crankshaft toothed pulley - this will simplify the installation of the belt on the roller
Rotate the crankshaft through the wheel hub - in the process, you need to monitor the coincidence of the marks on the pulleys
Install the new roller tensioner with the self-tensioning mechanism of the drive poly V-belt
Install the bottom plastic cover
Reinstall the crankshaft damper pulley and secure it with a new bolt with a thick washer (it is included in the kit) with a sufficiently strong interference - during the procedure, you need to turn on the fifth gear again, while the assistant must press the brake pedal forcefully
Put on the drive belt.
Remove the retaining bolt and washers from the camshaft toothed pulleys
Close the upper cover (duralumin) of the timing belt
Tighten the support and the upper engine mount
Connect the fuel line fitting
Insert a new plug on the end housing of the intake camshaft cover
Reinstall the right wheel
Remove jack

To check the correct installation of the timing belt on Renault Fluence, it is necessary to start the engine after all the procedures performed. If it makes the usual smooth noise, then the replacement was done correctly.

Replacing the timing chain with Renault Fluence is done in the same way.

The price of work on replacing the timing belt with Fluence in the service is about 4.5 - 5 thousand rubles. To this must be added the price of the replacement kit. When replacing it on its own, the motorist will need to spend only on a timing kit.

You can buy a timing kit for Renault Fluence from 4,700 rubles. up to 6 250 rubles.

The service center carries out comprehensive car diagnostics Renault fluence and all their systems: engine, braking system, suspension, electrics, transmission. This helps to reveal many hidden factors affecting vehicle performance and prevent costly repairs.

Types of repair work Renault Fluence

The service center carries out all types of Renault Fluence repair work: from fixing minor problems to engine repair. It should be noted that Renault Fluence cars are supplied to our country with incomplete engine configurations. For Europe, the manufacturer offers Renault Fluence with both diesel and gasoline engines. This car is supplied to Russia with only two types of gasoline engines (volume - 1.6 liters and two liters).

As a rule, the majority of Russian consumers choose a car with a 1.6-liter engine, which can be supplemented with either a five-speed manual transmission, or an automatic (but only four-speed). A more proven option would be mechanics.

The absence of diesel engines saves Russian car owners from many problems with repairs. Alas, the quality of diesel fuel in Russia does not allow operating diesel engines in a sparing mode, so their wear is very high.

In general, manufacturers in the creation of engines and other systems of the Renault Fluence car strived for maximum simplicity and functionality. This reduces the number of problems that could arise during operation.

This applies to the engine, Renault Fluence suspension and electronics. Everything is done soundly, but without any complicated solutions, which eliminates many failures in work. The experience of operating Renault Fluence cars shows that the owners' complaints arise only because of various trifles, and many of these claims relate to the first releases of the model. In particular, you can often hear complaints about the work of the janitors.

Some owners complain about engine power. But this problem can be solved in a car service: the engine can be boosted by increasing its power using special settings.

In general, Renault Fluence repairs may not be necessary if you follow the maintenance requirements for these cars.
