spark plugs, coil, coils and spark plugs replacing, faulty coil Scenic Megane Renault

Coil and spark plugs:

Remove top engine cover

10mm (mounting torque - 6-10 Nm)

Cables have different length however I suggest to do one at a time (just in case) unless you have to locate faulty coil first.
To do so you will have to remove all of the bolts holding coils and pull out one at a time while engine is running. Hear and observe reaction of your engine and when you pull the one which will not affect engine - that the faulty one. When you pull them out you will also hear typical sparking noise. PLEASE NOTE if you remove plug one by one you will not find the faulty one as it is twin spark engine and sparks are on 2 cylinders at the same time (coils work in pairs)

After removing holding bolts push the little lever and pull the cable plug back

check for rust

Check if the coil is in the ignition coil if not it stayed on the top of the spark plug. It has to be removed.

I suggest to buy (even used) a Denso ignition coils.

They are two different "stories" :
Denso vs

Sagem

Denso is about 30g heavier. It has more good "stuff" in it than the other ignition coils.

Now it is time for plugs; I had Bosch before however car "likes" much more Eyquem. In fact they are much cheaper (2-3eu) than Bosch (5+eu), so I don't really mind.

Tightening torque is 25-30Nm.
thanks

mirror does not heat, heated mirror problem, how to fix heated mirror, mirror glass replacing Renault Grand Scenic, Megane

What a month, few things just fell on my back, and just yesterday my alternator died too. It will be on the blog soon, just waiting for a new one to come.
Anyway today, again, simple tutorial on how to fix, check and replace heated mirror.
Let get started:

First of all we have make us sure if there is current getting to the mirror.
Put the card in to the terminal and just click the start button. This will let the power to radio, cigarette lighter, electric windows and of course to heated mirros.

In order to remove mirror, twist the glass as much as you can towards the car, then put your finger in the LHS upper corner and pull the glass out. You will need to use some force

Now let check the voltage

0.00 Volts....

You have to clean the electrical connectors, which are a bit rusty

Check the voltage again. 0.00 Volts again. Check the fuses or actually...Renault is very tricky... You have either start the engine or fully switch the ignition on (open driver's door and click locking button on the card, then put the card into ignition and push and hold the start button until you will see on dashboard controls on and you will hear nose from power steering. Now go and check the voltage.
YES TRICKY ONE.

We have a voltage.
BTW Do you know why did it show minus ?

Put the pieces together and check if the mirror is heating.

In my case mirror stayed cold. It was burned so I had to order new glass with mounting.

Thanks!

You will need a socket with pretty much extension

Disconnect the power source wire

Two extra bolt under plastic covers

Light switch

1 of the electrical lamellae is snapped, to small to precise to be fixed so it has to be replaced (not worth it)
