1986 Renault Alliance Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light in my Alliance turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Alliance testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Renault Alliance making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Renault Alliance engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Renault Alliance engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Renault Alliance radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your Alliance radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • Why did my Alliance engine suddenly stop? There are different reasons your Alliance vehicle engine could suddenly stop. You may be looking at a lack of fuel, faulty sensors, issues with the ignition system, engine overheating, electrical problems, or mechanical troubles.
