Default Renault Megane Problems

A friend is having problems with their Renault Megane, basically, the car cuts out at random times and will not restart for between 10-15mins... run for a while... then do the same again.

I know its vague, any ideas?


Cheers,
Grant

Sounds like a temp sensor maybe cutting in thinking it's overheating?

May be a crank sensor. I've been out to loads of renaults with the same sort of issues and 9 times out of 10 it's the crank sensor at fault.
