This exact problem on a megane coupe is caused by a small air pipe that connects to a 2 inch wide black box that is located under the bonnet near the windscreen on the passangers side. the zigzag light indicates an electrical fault (in this case lack of compression and will affect your revs) if you find this pipe and it has snapped off. the reason for this may be that your engien is lose and moves. grab the engien with 2 hands and see if you can wobble it with allot of play. if so your engien mountings need replaceing. you may also experiance juddering in low gears

A zigzag light on my renault megane scenic 1998 comes up while driving and then the vehicle becomes hard to accelerate. what is the remedy

it will need to be plugged into diagnostics as it indicates an electrical fault, could be lambda sensor, heater plugs and more if you don't get it diagnosed you will be just throwing money at it by replacing random parts

1998 renault megane ignition problems. My wifes Renault megane scenic 1998 has has nothing but problems since we bought it. The most recent being as follows. I was driving the car and stalled it. from then...

it sounds like one of three things are happening
1.your battery has adead cell in it and does not have enough cracking amps

2. your alternater isn't charging your battery enough

3. your starter is worn out causing it to need more amps to turn over

You can go to your local auto parts store and have them test your battery and charging system usually for free. if the battery and charging system checks out then pull the starter off and have it tested.
