- the most popular car of the French brand, which is invariably in steady demand to this day, even despite the fact that the third generation of the model has long appeared on the market. The secret of such popularity is that over the years of operation, Megan 2 has established itself as a reliable and unpretentious car, thanks to this, it is well sold in a used condition. As you know, there are no ideal cars, therefore, today we will try to find out what disadvantages Renault Megane 2 has with mileage, and what you need to pay attention to when choosing a car in the secondary market.
A bit of history:
For the first time, Renault Megan 2 was presented in 2002 at an automobile exhibition in Paris. Initially, the car was produced only in a hatchback body with an unusual rear end ( the rear window is convex and almost vertical). A little bit later ( in 2003), other modifications were presented to the public - sedan, station wagon and coupe. The car is built on a class platform WITH”, which was developed jointly with the company Nissan, therefore, to talk about continuity with the predecessor ( Renault Megane first generation) is possible only conditionally. When designing the rear of the body, improvements were used that were tested on the concept car " Renault Talisman» and put into production on the model « Renault Avantime».
Sedan cars were assembled at a factory in Turkey, the rest of the modifications were assembled in France. In some countries, the station wagon was sold under the name " Megan Grand Tour". In 2006, the car was restyled. The changes affected: the front bumper, front and rear optics, and the instrument panel has also changed. From the same year, only one model of a 1.6-liter gasoline engine was installed on the sedan. Debuted in 2008 , this version of the car is produced to this day .
Advantages and disadvantages of Renault Megane 2 with mileage.
The Renault Megan 2 body is well protected from corrosion, the proof is the fact that on most cars older than 10 years there is not even a hint of rust ( applies only to those vehicles that have not been restored after an accident). Also, there are no special claims to the quality of the paintwork. The only place that requires attention is the sills and rear wheel arch liners, over time, in these places the paint will be sandblasted to metal ( the problem is solved by pasting the problematic protective film). Also, you should pay attention to the drainage system in the area of the wipers, since when it gets dirty, water enters the passenger compartment and the wiper mechanism, which leads to their oxidation, jamming. Often, there are problems with the electrician, namely, the trunk stops opening from the button ( mass disappears) and the rear light contacts burn out.
Engines
In the secondary market can be found with the following power units: gasoline - 1.4 (98 HP), 1.6 (115 HP) and 2.0 (136 HP). Very rarely, but still, there are Megans with a diesel engine 1.5 (85 and 105 hp), as a rule, they are imported to us from Europe with high mileage ( over 250,000 km). Therefore, the choice of such machines must be approached with caution.. This type of engine is equipped with a fuel system that is sensitive to the quality of diesel fuel, which in our reality causes a lot of trouble to its owners ( nozzles, high pressure fuel pump, EGR valve quickly fail). The only plus of these engines is low fuel consumption ( 5.5-7 liters in the city).
Gasoline engines are better adapted to our operating conditions and can run on 92-gasoline without serious consequences. As for the reliability of this type of engines, there are no serious comments on their performance. The only thing that gives trouble is the frequent failure of the ignition coils ( afraid of dampness). The signal to replace the coils will be: unstable operation of the engine, jerks during acceleration and deterioration of acceleration dynamics. To check the condition of the coils, you need to unscrew the spark plugs, if they have carbon deposits, most likely the coils will need to be replaced soon. If the car is often refueled with low-quality fuel, it is necessary to flush the nozzles every 30-40 thousand km. If the gasoline engine began to work like a diesel engine and at the same time fuel and oil consumption increased significantly, most likely the phase regulator failed ( replacement will cost 300-400 USD.).
Often, owners are faced with the problem of difficult starting a cold engine. There can be two reasons for this ailment: the first is contaminated nozzles, the second is the clogged mesh of the fuel pump ( needs cleaning or replacement). Also, the disadvantages include: loss of tightness of the throttle valve gaskets, failure of their damper system on the crankshaft pulley. All motors are belt driven timing must be changed at least once every 60000 km, at the same time it is recommended to change the pump. Belt replacement timing it is better to entrust it to professionals, since in all motors the pulleys have a keyless fit, and if the mounting bolt is not tightened, the pulley may turn, which will lead to the valves meeting the pistons. Approximately once every 100,000 thousand km, you have to change the catalyst and engine mounts. 
Transmission
They installed five- and six-speed mechanics and a four-speed automatic transmission. Operating experience has shown that automatic transmission is less reliable than a manual transmission. Machine, with proper maintenance, it takes care of only 100-150 thousand km, then, a major overhaul of the transmission or replacement is required. To prolong the life of an automatic transmission in the cold season, it needs to be warmed up, but in the summer it is prone to overheating, especially when driving in a traffic jam. In a mechanical transmission, the clutch disc is considered a weak point, the problem is that it wears unevenly. A signal that there is a problem will be jerks when shifting gears. Also, the release bearing is not famous for its long life, as a result, the clutch has to be changed quite often, once every 60-80 thousand km.
Disadvantages of running a used Renault Megane 2
Equipped with semi-independent suspension: front - double lever (McPherson), rear - lever-spring with trailing arms, hinged on the car body and interconnected by a beam. In terms of reliability and comfort, the car's suspension has proven itself well. If you do not take into account the racks and stabilizer bushings ( the resource of which is 20-30 thousand km), then the weakest suspension elements are thrust bearings and steering tips, the service lines of which in rare cases exceed 50000 km run. The rest of the suspension elements have a fairly large resource. For example, shock absorbers, ball joints and wheel bearings often fail after 90000 km run. Silent blocks, levers and CV joints with careful use live 120-150 thousand km. As for the steering, then, here, the main problem is the small resource of the plastic bushings of the steering rack ( service lines 80-100 thousand km).
Salon
Despite the fact that inexpensive materials were used for interior trim, its quality and wear resistance are practically not satisfactory even after 10 years of operation. There are no special claims to the reliability of electrical equipment. The only thing that slightly spoils the pleasant impression of the cabin is the incorrect operation of the head unit, power windows and air conditioning. When contacting the service, it is recommended to replace all sensors and connectors, but, unfortunately, in most cases this solves the problem for a short time. 
Outcome:
Despite all the shortcomings, it is rightfully considered one of the most comfortable, reliable and inexpensive cars in the segment. C". When choosing a car of this model, you need to understand that it is no longer young and, most likely, has a solid mileage, therefore, you need to be prepared for the failure of certain nodes.
Advantages:
- Design.
- Comfort suspension.
- Roomy interior.
Flaws:
- A small resource automatic transmission.
- Electrical problems.
- Bad visibility.

2239 ViewsRenault Megan is one of the most popular middle class cars sold and purchased in Russia and abroad. The secret of this model lies in the excellent technical characteristics, which are maintained at a low price for spare parts and a minimum number of weak points. About everything that can be said about Renault Megane 2006, read below.
Weight and dimensions
Despite the fact that Renault Megane is quite popular in the secondary market, there are several modifications of it at once, differing in engines, equipment, transmission and body type. One of the main versions of the car is a sedan, 3- and 5-door hatchback and station wagon.
Most characteristics and design features are common to all body types. So, a torsion beam is installed on the front of the car, and a torsion beam is doing its job in the back. Front and rear elements of the brake system are disc mechanisms, which in addition have a ventilation system on the front axle.
For a sedan, the dimensions are the maximum among all the versions presented. Thus, the length of the machine is rather big 4498mm. At the same time, the width here reaches 1777mm, and the height is 1460. The wheelbase here is 2686mm, and the ground clearance for all versions of the car without exception reaches 125mm.
As for the mass, in running order the weight of the car reaches 1190kg. With a maximum load of the trunk and 5 people in the cabin, this figure can reach a figure that is 1740 kg in the table of technical characteristics of a car in 2006, with a carrying capacity exceeding half a ton. By the way, a convertible luggage compartment with a solid volume of 521 liters will help to place a large amount of luggage in the cabin for 5 seats.
The station wagon version has indicators aimed at a large carrying capacity and the volume of cargo carried. However, most of the passport data still corresponds to the general indicators of the line and does not differ much from it. The length of the body here is exactly 4.5 meters. At the same time, the width of the car here also reaches 1777mm, and the height is 1467. The wheelbase is still the same: for a car of 2006, it is 2686mm.
The curb weight of the car with a minimum load in the station wagon version is 1210 kg. With a load capacity that reaches about 540kg, the maximum allowable weight of the machine will not exceed 1740kg. The trunk volume has two states: with the normal position of the back of the rear sofa, this figure is 520 liters, but it is worth folding this design, and the figure increases to an unprecedented 1600 liters.
In the back, it is a purely urban modification for small families, which, however, in the 2006 version allows you to carry a decent amount of cargo or large passengers, thanks to well-designed technical characteristics.
Thus, the body length of the Renault Megane 2006 is 4209mm and makes this version one of the most compact in the entire line. At the same time, the width of the body is standard: it is equal to 1777mm. The distance to the top point of the roof is 1458mm. The wheelbase is 2625mm.
The mass of the machine is quite small, which gives it significant efficiency and acceleration dynamics, especially when it comes to versions with the most powerful power units. The curb weight of the car reaches, judging by the technical characteristics of the car produced in 2006, 1145kg. With maximum load and a fully equipped cabin, this figure can reach 1695kg.
Engines and dynamics
For Renault Megan, the range of engines is quite wide. It allows you to choose between time-tested atmospheric options that have a similar design but differ in technical characteristics, and the most modern and economical diesel units.
The most modest technical characteristics have a 1.4-liter gasoline naturally aspirated engine, which produces only 80 horsepower. At the same time, the maximum speed of a car in 2006 reaches 171 km / h, and acceleration to hundreds is no more than 13.5 seconds. By the way, at the same time, the consumption in the extra-urban cycle does not exceed 5.6 liters, and in urban mode - 9.2.
A more powerful version for Renault Megan, having the same volume, has better technical characteristics. So, the engine is able to give the car 98 horsepower. At the same time, the maximum speed is able to reach 185 km / h, and acceleration to hundreds is 12.7 seconds. Fuel consumption in the extra-urban cycle is 5.6 liters, and outside the city - about 7.
The 1.6 Renault Megane engine is available with both manual and automatic. Its rated power is 113 horsepower. At the same time, acceleration to one hundred kilometers per hour is 13.1 seconds, and the maximum speed is 194 km / h. As for fuel consumption, here it is quite small and in the city reaches a maximum of 10.7 liters. However, outside the city, this figure is no more than 6.
The most “top-end” version of the Renault Megane engine, provided for a 2006 car, has a volume of 2 liters and 134 horsepower. This allows you to reach 100 km / h in just 11.1 seconds. At the same time, the maximum speed reaches 195 km / h. Fuel consumption in the city is 8.4 liters, and outside it - 6.5.
Hi all!! I will try to calmly express my thoughts about this "masterpiece" of French engineering, although it boiled over. Damn Megan pulled me, and even on CREDIT !!! It’s interesting that the managers of the salon even dissuaded, offering to look at some other options for 300 thousand, for example, the same Focus ... But no, after reading positive reviews about unreal comfort and unpretentiousness in service, I confidently continued to stick to my line, which I need Megan, period. Ride on several salons, I finally stumbled upon a good option, and without thinking twice sat down to draw up the paperwork for the purchase. At the time of the acquisition of Megan, his mileage was about 105 thousand km, but as it turned out later, it is possible that much more. At first, of course, I liked everything very much, and the comfort, and even the dynamics, although I moved to a megashku from a 2 liter Nissan example in 1998, but the impressions of the purchase were only positive. But a couple of months have passed, and optimism has somehow diminished. Jambs began to appear, at first not significant, but no less annoying. For example, at the most inopportune moment, the wipers failed, they just stuck in one position and that's it, right in the middle of the windshield. I had to urgently rush to the service, they removed the trapeze, cleaned it, rolled out to me the amount for the repair of 6 thousand rubles, then I was already a little swollen from such a cost, but for this money they just repaired the wipers. In general, the problem with the wipers went away, though not for long, which the servicemen kindly warned me about, and over time the wipers began to turn sour again. But that's okay, more interesting. Well, about the light bulbs that constantly burn out, and which you just change the hell out of, I think everyone already knows very well. This is such a "feature" of Meganov ... Then I began to notice that the automatic transmission began to work very twitchy, all the shifts were accompanied by kicks .. In general, about Meganov's automatic transmission, this is a separate song. Automatic transmission DP0 is a real piece of shit, to say the least!!! I believe that this is one of the most, if not the most filthy machine gun that has ever been created in principle. It is comfortable to ride it no matter how hard you try, you will never succeed !! Kicks, jerks, stupidity - these are all the characteristics of this automatic transmission, over time you already begin to curse the day when you decided to buy a car with this machine. In short, in the end, all this jerkiness finally got me, and I decided to replace the legendary pressure valves. But the most interesting thing is that this did not last long, and after about a month everything returned to normal. .. Again kicks, jerks, and weak dynamics ... In general, having collected the remnants of patience, I sent my Megan to a complete automatic transmission bulkhead. In the service, they dissected the box, and shook it completely, replacing all the insides, and even stuck a new valve body .... The whole epic cost me 88 thousand hard-earned rubles ... This, of course, is tin ... for such a machine, and for such an automatic transmission, developed back in the 90s, the price is simply prohibitive ... .
