Problems and faults: Renault X84 Megane Coupe-Cabriolet
- If the Renault X84 Megane Coupe-Cabriolet’s engine misfires, does not run on all cylinders or runs rough, the ignition coils may need to be replaced – this is a common problem.
- For the 2.0-litre petrol engine, the engine could cut-out and run rough due to a faulty camsensor; the sensor could also drain the battery even when the ignition was switched off.
- Uneven rear tyre is partially due to the negative camber of the rear suspension. However, premature tyre wear has also been attributed to 17-inch Continental tyres, with other brands of tyre recommended in their place.
- When driving, the engine rpm may increase, drop to zero and the engine may then cut out – this may be due to a corroded wiring loom and is often accompanied by difficulty starting the vehicle.
- The coil springs – front and rear – were susceptible to breaking.
