My 04 1.6 renault megane struggles to start in th morning and once it does fire up you hav to rev it to ensure it wont cut out. The car then splutters and judders a bit till its warm then it tend to run ok. Could this be the crank sensor thing or something else? Also are there any signs of when a timing belt needs chamging and how much does it normally cost?

Renaultmegan 04 model fires up first time no problem but then sounds like a growling noise for a split second and only does it first thing in the morning

Hi.could be whats called"a dry start". Fit a genuine oil filter to the engine. With cheaper oil filters the oil drop back into the sump when left for long periods of time.good luck.

Renault megane tourer sport 1.6 2004 - when i start the car either in the morning or when it has been stood a short while, it makes a loud noise, like a transit van or a tractor. it is only for a few

it looks like u have bad spark plugs, mainly when the car is cold .this noise seems to be backfire coming thru air fllter casing or the accessory belts. also check your engine oil quality-replace if necessary

When i start my car in the morning, if i dont apply revs it just cuts out

This sounds like a idle air control problem. take alook at the throtlebody plate, make sure its clean. use a little throtlebody cleaner and a tooth brush, open throtle and clean body and both sides of the plate. that may do the trick. good day.
