Learn how to resolve the screeching noise, especially when the engine is cold, on a Renault Espace IV: the fan motor has axial play, indicating wear in the bearing or the internal bushing of the electric motor. What we see in the video is not a permanent repair, but a workaround to reduce the noise for a while: the idea is to inject thick grease into the motor to lubricate the worn bushing. The fan motor has an adhesive tab, and by removing it, we find a small factory hole through which we can push a generous amount of thick grease into the motor, in the area of the bushing, using the nozzle of the tube. While injecting, it is helpful to manually spin the fan impeller to help the grease penetrate and distribute evenly. Once filled, seal the hole well with strong adhesive tape to prevent dust and dirt from entering. The noise disappears or is drastically reduced, but the mechanical play remains. It is a temporary solution; the wear is physical, and sooner or later the noise will return, and in extreme cases, the fan motor may seize, so it is advisable to plan for the replacement of the fan to resolve the issue at its root.

What does the red or orange zig-zag warning light mean on the Dacia Sandero?
In this video, you will learn what the warning light depicting a red or orange zig-zag on the dashboard of the Dacia Sandero means. This is a multifunction warning light; if it appears red, it is a prompt to stop as soon as possible, switch off the engine, and exit the vehicle quickly, contacting a recovery service and the Dacia Dealer. If it lights up orange, it indicates an electronic fault in the vehicle; you can continue driving, but you must reach a Dacia service centre as soon as possible. If it lights up alongside the spanner symbol, it means it is time for a service, which is due every year or 10,000 miles (whichever comes first). The service is mandatory to maintain the warranty. If it lights up together with the tyre warning light, it indicates a loss of pressure in one of the tyres. You should check all the tyres as soon as possible to identify the source of the pressure loss. If it stays on with the engine warning light, it indicates a problem with the vehicle's emissions system; if it flashes, the issue may be a component of the engine, such as the spark plugs or coil, for example. On diesel versions, it may light up alongside the glow plug symbol, indicating a related issue. If it lights up with the ESP symbol, it means there is a fault in the system that needs checking. by ScegliAuto More videos
