How to replace the gearbox oil of the Renault Megan 3

Model: Renault Megane Megane III, Megane 3 - Years 2008-2015
Part: Transmission fluid

Today we will write to you how to replace the transmission oil of the Renault Megane III on your own. We open the front hood and the collector cap, place a flexible tube inside and pour a flushing detergent mixed with the used oil that will dissolve the debris and clean the transmission. We screw the cap onto the collector and start the vehicle for 10/15 minutes before lifting the vehicle and removing the left wheel. We remove the plastic undertray to access the gearbox nut; using a square key, we unlock the nut and let the liquid drain out. Once the oil has drained out, we close the gearbox and screw the nut back on. We see the white plastic cap of the filling hole and using a flexible tube and a funnel, we add the transmission detergent and oil little by little. Once filling is done, we close the cap and fill the collector box. We mount the vehicle wheel and lower it back to the ground.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
