    20100521_GTX_0003.JPGWe all love this mythical and popular car, because we sailed in one being childrens, because someone in the family had one or just because it always made us want it... because it's endearing, whatever we say.
    Its great success is certainly due to the fact that with a simple mechanics, with little or no electronics, it is easy to maintain by yourself without expensive tools, without forgetting that the parts are not expensive and always easy to find. Even today, for some homes, students and people with "little budget", it is a source of great comfort at a lower price: far from car loans and garage mechanics, which are becoming more and more inaccessible. The small engines models (the most common) are very robust and still consume very little, sometimes less than recent "equivalent" cars, which makes it by definition just as ecological, if not even more by the simple fact that we we always use it instead of buying new ones ... At the level of the official technical control, benefiting from its "seniority", it does not undergo the modern standards much too restrictive, the tranquility is assured.
    Today it is still an interesting car for everyday use, especially and clearly from an economic point of view.
    Collectors are also beginning to take an interest in this 30-year-old "granny": restoration, maintenance or refurbishment, repairs, etc ... make it possible to find "newer than new" models for the pleasure of the eyes and to see this French heritage thus safeguarded.
    We have created this community to bring together all those who are interested and who wish to take part in this adventure to preserve their Renault Super 5, whether by maintenance, repair or restoration: you will find here all useful information and tips on these topics.

    The forum is freely accessible in its entirety: there is no need to contribute, buy, neither pay anything to integrate the community and participate.
    To be able to ask questions and share your interest, all you have to do is register and present yourself properly!
    You do not have to have a Super 5: an interest in auto mechanics is enough

    Welcome !

Ca se passe sous la banquette arrière. Il y a un cache rond noir en plastique à enlever, et en dessous vous trouverez ça:

Bien entendu, cette opération est à réaliser avec un minimum d'essence dans le réservoir. Mais en dessous de 3/4 du plein, vous arriverez à démonter la jauge sans que ça ne déborde par là...

Commencez par déconnecter les durits et le faisceau de la jauge, attention, un peu d'essence peut couler des deux durits du haut (celles qui ont le plus gros diamètre), puis la prise électrique:

Ensuite, à l'aide d'un gros tournevis, dévisser le gros truc noir qui maintient la jauge (sur la photo, il est placé en sens "visser" :ph34r::wacko: )

Sortez la "vis" et faisant sortir un peu la jauge, car il y a peu de place et elle peut se prendre dans les embouts des tuyaux... Il faut faire bien attention, la jauge est fragile...

Une fois que tout est dégagé, y a pu qu'à sortir la jauge!

Et la voilà sur votre établi :D

Une particularité pour le remontage, il y a une sorte de gros circlip qui "rigidifie" la grosse vis noire. Si vous arrivez à revisser la jauge en le gardant à sa place tant mieux, sinon, il faut le virer à l'aide d'un tournevis. Attention à ce qu'il ne vous saute pas à la figure, et armez vous de patience pour le remettre, c'est assez rigide (mais pas cassant non plus...). Il y a des petites encoches sur la vis qui définissent son positionnement (un peu comme des détrompeurs), comme ça:

Voilà à quoi ça ressemble:
