markwilford   10 #1 Posted April 6, 2012 Can Anyone help.... I have a Renault Megane Scenic Automatic V reg. It has started cutting out for no reason and sometimes takes between 10-20 attemps to start again or sometimes fires up straight away. Im not sure if the auto transmition could need topping up but cant find where to top it up. A yellow dash light has started flashing on for half a second saying "auto" underneath the symbol. Any help would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
littlebasher   11 #2 Posted April 6, 2012 I suspect it's a DPO auto box, it's sealed and can't be topped up (Nor the level checked) easily. It's also famously unreliable  Having said that, the auto box shouldn't have any bearing on the car cutting out or trouble restarting it. You need the error codes read of it, could be something as simple as a coil pack failing  Go and see G tech in Attercliffe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
markwilford   10 #3 Posted April 6, 2012 ok thanks, theres no noises coming from the gearbox itself and has smooth gear change. its just the cutting out and restarting which is puzzling me. thanks anyway i will try the place in attercliffe.

littlebasher   11 #4 Posted April 7, 2012 Actually, thinking about it my money would be on the crankshaft sensor, my daughters Megane did exactly what yours does, changing it cured it.  Either way, the fault should be logged just waiting to be read!
