Does not start
Renault Kangoo 2005 134000 miles
My car does not start working and the preheating indicator light blinks on the dashboard. I've already changed the spark plugs and the throttle body, but nothing was solved. The computer and the immobilizer were checked, but it is still not starting. What can I do?

When I turn the key all the electrical icons blink on the panel and there is clicking. The engine will not turn over. The battery charger indicators that the car battery is low but indicates it is slowly charging. After 24 hours, I disconnect charger and engine will not start.

Wont start or turn over
Renault Kangoo 2016 50000 miles
Changed the wheel with the replacement, one as it was flat (punctured). Lights come on, on the dash, bur wont turn over, tried a bump start, but didn't work either?
We've always had an issue with that wheel since buying it, either the sensor, the tyre or wheel, but something isn't quite right tyre always seems to deflate and the sensor used to go on all the time indicating tyre needed air, now it doesnt come on whrn it needs air.

Starting failure
Renault Kangoo 2008 100000 miles
I own a Kangoo 2008 and it does not start when warm, and it takes quite a long time to make the engine start when cold. I've already changed spark plugs and iginition coils, but the problem is still there. Might it be the ignition sensor?

I do not think so. If I were you, I would check the distribution condition because they tend to cause the problems you mention when they fail.
Hi, check the Top Dead Center Sensor (TDC), which is at the level of the gearbox in the flywheel zone. This sensor tells the computer that the engine is turning; it is an electromagnet and, as it is at the height of the clutch, it is covered with the dust from the clutch disc, not being able to read the cogs in the flywheel. That is why the vehicle does not start working but, if you push it, it does start immediately. What you need to do is to remove the two screws from the sensor, take it away and clean it properly; then assemble everything back and the problem will be solved.
It will more than likely be the crankshaft sensor... iv had same problem with two different cars and changing the tdc or crank sensor cured the problem
CommentNo spark in the spark plugs
Renault Kangoo 1999 100000 miles
Occasionally, the engine does not start and I need to wait for a couple of hours until I am able to drive my vehicle. I've noticed that there is no spark reaching the spark plugs nor its wiring. I have already checked all the wires and they are properly connected. I do not know if it is the coil that is causing the problem or what else might be.

CommentStarting failure
Renault Kangoo 2008 110000 miles
I insert the key in the ignition and the key detection light turns off. When turning the key, the heating curl appears and the engine turns and turns, but it does not start.

I had the same problem and it is quite probable that the chip in the key has broken down; check it. I do not recommend you to take it to a Renault agency because they take too long to repair it; search on the Internet for another place that copies keys
I also had this problem and, if I were you, I would first try with the spare key. If the failure appears as well, it is the anti-theft system. There is no fuel reaching it and you will need to break the iron structure and connect it directly, or else buy a new piece. Good luck.

Thank you!
Fuel the filter could be blocked. Also check the fuel hoses for leaks or signs of air getting into the fuel
System. Place a piece of clear pipe on the fuel system to check for air and fuel flow. Also check your ignition and starter motors are working and your imobilisor isn’t kicking in. Maybe worth starting with a decent diagnostic scan to point you in the right direction. Could also be fuel pressure regulator. Hope this helps you.
