One of the most common problems Renault Megane 2 owners face is engine overheating. A rising temperature gauge or steam from the radiator is a serious warning sign.
Main Causes
- Faulty thermostat – Prevents coolant from circulating properly.
- Clogged radiator – Reduces coolant flow.
- Water pump failure – Coolant circulation is disrupted.
- Cooling fan not engaging – Electrical fault or bad fan switch.
- Blown head gasket – One of the most severe issues.
Solutions
- Check coolant and antifreeze level regularly.
- Replace thermostat and fan switch if faulty.
- Have the radiator cleaned or replaced if blocked.
- If a blown head gasket is suspected, stop driving and see a mechanic immediately.
