explorer14 Posted 11, August 2023 Report Share Posted 11, August 2023 Hi everyone, I was planning to purchase a 2018 Megane GT 205 MY17 update from a dealer. When I took it for a pre purchase inspection, the mechanic could find few issues when they plugged in the OBD scanner and also found erratic gear changes between 2nd and 3rd. Could anyone advise whether I should go ahead as dealer advised that they’ll replace transmission fluid and rectify other issues ? Thank you all Issues identified: Clutch Thermal Protection, Component Or System Overheating Clutch 2,Component Or System Overheating Secondary Brake Switch Multiplexed Info, Invalid Signal Computer Supply Voltage, Circuit Voltage Below Threshold Computer Power Supply, Circuit Voltage Below Threshold Invalid Data Received From Adaptive Cruise Control, Internal Component Failure Invalid UCH Multiplex Signals Warning Light Circuit Fault, Inconsistency Between The Warning Light Status Transmitted By The Instrument Panel And The Request Made By The Airbag Computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisK Posted 11, August 2023 Report Share Posted 11, August 2023 Could be a bad or low battery that caused false codes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explorer14 Posted 11, August 2023 Author Report Share Posted 11, August 2023 (edited) That might be the issue showing “circuit voltage below threshold”, is that right ? Regarding the clutch overheating, will it be due to bad transmission fluid as the mechanic mentioned the transmission oil was very dark in color.

LouisK Posted 13, August 2023 Report Share Posted 13, August 2023 Fluid would normally darken with use over time. Get codes cleared and take it for a long drive to see. They are durable cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andersm Posted 16, August 2023 Report Share Posted 16, August 2023 I'd be wary of that clutch overheat error. The rest are probably from a flat battery and/or being jumpy started, but the clutch one is a concern especially with the rough shift. This will have nothing to do with old fluid, its either a faulty clutch (or release mechanism) or its been abused with too many hard launches. Or more likely, its been driven by someone who treated it like a normal automatic and let it creep in traffic which constantly slips the clutch. 2-3 shift is engaging the same clutch as the one you take off from a rest with. So I'd be looking hard at the offered warranty - clutch replacements are not cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
