The muffler is crumbling, some thin plates are used in production, it constantly rattles. Crickets at the door, at the station they said that the locks were rattling on the door hinges, they were constantly lubricated. The disease is not found and is not eliminated. Constantly torn rubber boot wiring on the trunk lid, short. The manufacturer took the car out of production and did not fix it. (rubber probably regretted). Replacing llamas in headlights is an intimate topic, a gynecological operation. The lamps are changed through hatches 10 * 15 cm under the arches of the front wheels, hanging the front suspension on a jack and unscrewing the steering wheel until it stops. I only once dared to change the light bulb myself. In a hot summer without rain, the wipers jammed. At the station they fixed it for a while, then again. I dismantled it myself and the horror, the luminous sleeve and the metal finger are simply lubricated (I would at least put a separator made of fluoroplastic). The grease leaked out due to the heat and washed out with the windshield washer fluid, the finger stuck to the bushing. Together with his father, they barely separated this copulating structure. Abundantly lubricated, and sold the car. Lever arm parking brake, a glitch with a button return spring. At the station, only the replacement of the entire block is more than 10 thousand rubles. Adequately spring and 10t.rub. I disassembled the handbrake, somehow picked up and fitted this stupid spring and barely assembled the handbrake cover on snot and glue (one-time locks of the plastic casing). Before selling, I repeated the operation again, again a spring. Rave, power mechanism and a small spring. Council, in winter period thaw and frost, do not use the handbrake. During the day I traveled through puddles, water got into the "protective" casing of the drive cable hand brake and in the evening in the parking lot tightly grabbed the cable and in the morning you won’t leave the place. And at the station for a long time they could not find the reason, the room, the heat and the cable thawed, everything seems to be fine. Now about serious problems: - The dipstick of the oil level is also an intimate topic, it is located in the same place as the G-spot in women (SORRY DEAR WOMEN - I couldn’t resist), you will find the horseradish and get it. Constantly monitor the engine oil level and its quality (see color and viscosity). At the station after maintenance, do not be too lazy to look at the color of the oil, otherwise they may not change or work off. - per 100t.km. knocked the engine. Checked the inserts. Bottom line: replacement of the knees of the shaft, liners, used piston complete with connecting rod. I don’t know, I got so lucky with the car, or I didn’t follow the oil, or the oil was changed at the station like that. In short, the repair stood at 110 thousand rubles. - 90 t.km. ordered the phase or gas distributor to live for a long time (I don’t remember exactly the name of this cunning device). The car ran like a diesel. Issue price 16t.rub. - factory ignition coils, put on each candle - their own, they flew after each engine wash. 2t. rub. Engine wash every MOT. And before selling the car, I'm a dunce, I forgot and washed the engine. Motyukov was! - very capricious to the quality of fuel. I mean what gas station do you fill up at, not what brand of AI (I filled 92 and it's fine). But how this gasoline was produced, you will find out later when you get up somewhere on the Black Sea (Adygea, the birthplace of gray gasoline), and instead of rest there will be cleaning fuel system manually, with only one screwdriver. Damn rested then! In short, you won’t remember all the breakdowns, they accumulated a whole pack in five years. I repeat once again, I probably tied up with Reno, I don’t want to anymore. But this is my purely subjective point of view.

Body, platform and interior. What are the owners saying?
Despite its ten-year age, the car qualitatively differs from many models, first of all, by the impeccable Nissan platform, comfortable and reliable running, excellent sound insulation. Suspension is quite stiff, but well suited for Russian roads and does not cause discomfort when driving. Many drivers in their reviews note the low ground clearance of the car and the stiff steering, which is especially felt on low-quality roads. On exchange rate stability latest versions the work of the ABS system is good, which is especially noticeable on the track in bad weather.

The car may be of interest to beginners and experienced drivers. The first are captivated by the simplicity and equipment of the machine, and experienced drivers note the reliability of the platform and excellent performance while driving.
Almost all driver reviews converge on one thought that Renault Megane 2 has a very successful and reliable platform that performs well in operation.
Maintenance
Maintenance is a must for cars that have passed the 7-year age limit. Renault service is quite expensive, but fully justifies itself. After carrying out diagnostics upon purchase, we advise you to do maintenance after every 10-15 thousand km.
Car owners can focus on the following costs according to reviews. Stabilizer links must be replaced after 20 thousand km, steering rods are designed for 35 thousand km, steering rack- no more than 85 thousand km will pass, ball joints 20 thousand km. At the same time, the front pillars - taking into account front wheel drive- will have to be changed only after 100-180 thousand km. These are the average wear rates for the main spare parts you will need for the repair. So, in general, we can conclude that good technical resource Renault Megane 2, especially when constant use branded automotive chemistry and competent maintenance. 
It should be borne in mind that the features of the body and design 2 suggest some inconvenience in repair, so independent work for drivers with little experience can be difficult. Note that Renault Megane 2 has one curious functional detail as a phase regulator, if it fails, the car begins to experience many problems and starts badly. In this case, the phase regulator is replaced together with the rollers and the timing belt.
All reviews say that Renault, like any other car, requires a normal technical approach and timely repair.
With professional maintenance, the car behaves confidently on the roads, it is perfectly manageable and unpretentious.
Equipment
The owners note the good equipment of the Renault Megan 2. Despite its age, the car has an impressive low-level equipment package and reliable mechanics, even surpassing the legendary "indestructibility" of the VAZ.

The excellent condition of the chassis and engine when viewed indicates good service throughout the entire period of operation.
In general, Renault Megane 2 with automatic transmission in the above modifications is more designed for novice drivers, while being reliable and unpretentious if you prefer quiet ride V combined cycle. Cars with manual transmission are more dynamic and comfortable for drivers with long experience, suitable for those who are not afraid self repair. The model is equipped quality system ignition, has a dynamically responsive box, a confident, but at the same time “soft” brake system. The audibility of the engine at 3000 rpm in the cabin is negligible. A car with a manual transmission has in practice speed limit at 210 km/h. 
The car has not the most convenient automatic transmission, it will be especially noticeable for former owners Japanese cars. According to dealers, some cars with automatic transmission had a factory defect, in which case you can change the automatic transmission to a manual transmission. These shortcomings are offset by Renault models Megane 2 with manual transmission. To the quality platform, the manufacturer also added good equipment. From the very beginning, this brand was equipped with an advanced on-board computer, there is a whole set of necessary sensors, including a rain sensor.
Renault Megan is one of the most popular cars middle class, sold and purchased in Russia and abroad. The secret of this model lies in the excellent technical characteristics that are maintained when low price for parts and minimum quantity weaknesses. About everything that can be said about Renault Megane 2006, read below.
Weight and dimensions
Despite the fact that Renault Megan is quite popular on secondary market, there are several of its modifications at once, differing among themselves in engines, trim levels, type of transmission and body. 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, it is installed on the front of the car, and the back does its job properly torsion beam. Front and back elements 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 - 1460. Wheelbase here equals 2686mm, and ground clearance for all without exception versions of the car reaches 125mm.
As for the mass, in running order the weight of the car reaches 1190kg. At maximum load trunk and finding 5 people in the cabin, this figure can reach a figure that in the table of technical characteristics of a car in 2006 is 1740 kg, with a carrying capacity exceeding half a ton. By the way, place in the cabin for 5 seats a large number of transported luggage will help transformable luggage compartment, having a solid volume of 521l.
The station wagon version has indicators aimed at large load capacity and the amount 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 machines 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.
Yes, the length Renault bodies 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. Distance to top point roof - 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 has a gasoline atmospheric motor volume of 1.4 liters, which produces only 80 Horse power. Wherein maximum speed a 2006 car 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.

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 refused, they just stuck in one position and that's it, right in the middle 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 ... .
Renault is pretty popular brand in Russia. This manufacturer produces reliable and cheap crossovers, and passenger cars. Yes, one of popular models in the Renault lineup, this is the second-generation Megan. The machine is widely used not only in the European market, but also in the CIS. First this car was presented to the public in 2002, the Megan-2 was mass-produced until 2008. Then it was replaced by the third generation. However, Megan-2 is still in high demand in the secondary market. Is it worth buying it? Features, characteristics and disadvantages of the car - further in our article.
Design
Initially, the car was produced in the body five-door hatchback. However, a few years later, Renault expanded the range of bodies.
So, "Megan-2" became available in the performance of a sedan, station wagon and even a coupe. Their appearance was the same: slanted linded headlights, a wide front molding and a streamlined bumper with an integrated grille. Depending on the configuration, the car came with stamped or alloy wheels. By the way, the spare wheel has always been the first type, even in luxury versions. The car has a pleasant silhouette, but there are no refined forms here. The only exception is the hatchback body. Behind this car looks very extraordinary.
The French used an unusual trunk lid with almost vertical glass. By the way, contours rear lights the same as on the Renault Megan 2 sedan. The station wagon is equipped with vertical lamps, which in their form resemble "Kalinovskie".
Quality of metal and paintwork
According to reviews, "Renault Megan 2" is well protected from corrosion. The machine is not afraid of exposure to water, moisture and reagents. However, the quality of the paint leaves much to be desired. According to reviews, a lot of chips form on the Renault Megan 2 for three to five years of operation. Especially it concerns front bumper. It is literally showered with small dots. Polishing won't bring it back to its original look. paintwork. You have to come to terms with this. Also vulnerabilities the edge of the wheel arch and the sills are considered. In these places, the body is particularly susceptible to sandblasting.
Dimensions, ground clearance
Depending on the body type, the car has a length of 4.2-4.6 meters, a width of 1.69 meters and a height of 1.36-1.42 meters. Renault Megane II also varies ground clearance. Its value is from 13 to 16 cm. This is quite small, considering our road conditions. This is especially felt on the long-wheelbase station wagon "Renault Megan 2". The springs on this car are quite soft. According to reviews, Renault Megan 2 can sag by three to four centimeters when loaded.
Salon
The interior design is typical of the 2000s: flowing shapes and rounded lines are found throughout. Interestingly, there is an armrest between the front seats. However, it is not regulated. The panel is decorated modestly. On the center console is a simple CD radio and a round climate dial. By the way, the stove on the Renault Megan 2 works well, which cannot be said about the air conditioner. The latter may fail due to a lack of refrigerant or failed sensors.
The main disadvantage noted by the reviews in Renault Megan 2 is sound insulation. In motion, the sound of the engine is clearly audible, as well as the rustle of tires. In addition, the Renault Megane 2 sedan does not shine with the quality of finishing materials. Plastic is mostly hard and eventually begins to creak and vibrate annoyingly. Another problem faced Renault owners Megane II is water in the cabin. How does she get here? It's simple: gradually gets dirty drainage system in the area of the windshield wipers. As a result, moisture begins to penetrate inside the car.
Among the advantages of the Renault Megan 2 car, reviews note comfortable seats. They can be fabric or leatherette. They are quite comfortable to sit in. At long trips this car does not cause fatigue. In this regard, the French really tried.
Trunk
If we talk about a hatchback, the trunk volume is small. It is only 330 liters, but it can be expanded to 1190 liters by folding the backrest. rear seats. The second row is also transformed in the Renault Megan 2 station wagon.
In a five-seat version, it is able to accommodate 560 liters of cargo, and in a two-seat one - as much as 1600. As for the sedan, the seats are not transformed here. The owner will have to be content with a stable 510 liters of free volume.
"Renault Megan 2": specifications
On Russian market the car was delivered exclusively with gasoline engines. If Renault Megan 2 diesel is on sale, then this is an imported model from Europe.
The base for "Megan" is gasoline unit for 1.4 liters. Its power is 82 horsepower. As noted by the reviews, this power is clearly not enough for normal driving around the city and beyond. The best choice would be a 1.6-liter engine. Its power is 115 horsepower, which allows you to overtake more confidently. Well, the flagship in the line is a two-liter naturally aspirated engine with 136 forces and 191 Nm of torque. It is quite rare. As a rule, two-liter Megans come only in luxury trim levels.
What engine problems do Renault Megane 2 have? Many owners complain about the failure of the ignition coil. It's accompanied increased consumption fuel and jerky when trying to pick up speed. Injectors are also often dirty. After 50 thousand kilometers, a dense coating forms on them. By 100 thousand, the phase regulator may fail. As a result, the engine starts to work like a diesel. At the same time, oil and fuel consumption increases markedly.
Specifications "Renault Megan 2" 2006-2008
After 2006 French manufacturer made changes to the power unit. So, in "Megan" the line of engines was updated. Each motor has port injection fuel. The younger one, with a volume of 1.4 liters, began to develop 100 horsepower.
The average 1.6-liter unit develops 110 horsepower, and the flagship engine remains unchanged. It still puts out the same power and torque. As the reviews say, power plants became less likely to fail. Fuel consumption has also decreased. On average, it ranges from 6.8 to 8.5 liters per hundred in the combined cycle.
Engine Disadvantages
Often, owners of Renault Megan cars faced the problem of difficult cold start. The reason for this is a dirty mesh of the fuel pump or plaque on the fuel injectors. Gaskets also wear out over time. throttle valve. The crankshaft pulley damper fails. As for the timing mechanism, it is belt driven on all engines. It is recommended to replace the belt every 60 thousand kilometers. However, it is better to entrust the replacement to specialists, since Megan engines have a keyless pulley fit. If the bolt is not tightened, the pulley may turn. As a result, the pistons meet the valves. Another issue is the catalytic converter. exhaust system. It clogs after 100 thousand kilometers. A new one costs about 30 thousand rubles, so many simply cut it out and put it on new firmware. On the same run, the engine mount often comes out. Because of it, the motor starts to work unstably and vibrate at idle.
Transmission
The car was equipped with three gearboxes. It was a five- or six-speed manual, as well as a four-speed automatic. According to reviews, automatic transmission has a rather small resource. Even under the condition timely replacement ATP-liquid box begins to kick after 150 thousand kilometers. In addition, this transmission contributed to a significant increase in fuel consumption. It was 3-4 liters more than the mechanics.
automatic box on the Renault Megan is very afraid of overheating. This especially happens when driving in a traffic jam. As for the mechanics, here the problem is with the clutch disc. It wears out unevenly, and the clutch begins to slip. This happens with a run of 80,000 kilometers. By the same time, wears out and release bearing clutch.
Chassis
At the front, the car has a double wishbone suspension with MacPherson struts. Behind - a spring system with trailing arms and a beam. From the point of view of smoothness, the second-generation Renault Megane suspension does not cause any complaints from the owners. But the resource of some suspension elements is sometimes small. So, after 30 thousand kilometers, the stabilizer bushings fail roll stability. After 50 thousand wear out thrust bearings front struts and steering tips. Items such as shock absorbers, wheel bearings and ball joints go for quite a long time - about 90 thousand kilometers. Silent blocks of levers have a resource of 150 thousand.
Steering- rail with hydraulic booster. During operation, owners are faced with wear of plastic bushings rack and pinion mechanism, however, this occurs on a run of 150-200 thousand kilometers.
Conclusion
So, we found out what the second generation Renault Megan is. As you can see, the car has its pitfalls. However, in terms of cost, it has no competitors. If we consider the purchase option, then it is worth purchasing versions on mechanics released after 2006. A car with a manual transmission will delight low flow fuel. As for engine size, the best choice will be a 1.6-liter unit. Two-liter versions are rare, and if they are sold, then for a very serious amount.
